We are delving into the shadowy realm where the unknown meets the unbelievable. That's right, Listener Story Time! This week Erik's tale tale takes us on a journey through an eerie encounter with the possible Men in Black – but these aren't your typical government agents. Their sockless appearance only begins to scratch the surface of the strangeness afoot.

The experience unfolds as we navigate through a day and night filled with surreal sightings, including bucks walking like humans. Has nature gone awry, or is there something more sinister at play? Just when you think things can't get more mysterious, we explore an unsettling episode of time loss. What happened during those missing hours, and who – or what – might be responsible?

Hey Nation, Kevin Crispin here holding down the fort as David and Brent decided they needed to travel for some research or something. I’m not sure, I never listen to Brent and David was unreachable for comment. But have no fear, the horror continues in the Blurriest of ways with a mega episode about the Barnabet axe murders. In this Blurry Photos archive episode Flora is joined by authors Alan Gauthreaux (Go-Tro) and Dr. Daryl Hippensteel as well as numerous Louisianans to explore the ghastly tale of the Barnabet axe murders. So that’s sounds…. Fun. Enjoy?

Original Description:

The horror continues in Blurry Photober with a mega episode about the Barnabet axe murders. Flora is joined by authors Alan Gauthreaux and Dr. Daryl Hippensteel as well as numerous Louisianans to explore the ghastly tale of the Barnabet axe murders. Southwestern Louisiana was terrorized in 1911-12 by brutal axe murders. One young woman was pinned with not only perpetrating them, but possibly masterminding more. Hoodoo and Voodoo were found to be involved, which the media picked up at the time and ran with. Hear the shocking story and how it ended, told via news articles and criminal justice perspectives. And make sure to head to Alan’s YouTube channel for much more content and grab Alan and Daryl’s books! Just remember, for this episode of Blurry Photos, content is very graphic. Listener discretion is advised.

Join us as we diving headfirst into a double shot of unadulterated strangeness. In our first stop we jet-set to the surreal world of commercial aviation, where an unexpected in-flight reptilian revelation left a woman demanding immediate removal from the plane. The woman insisted that her fellow passenger was an undercover reptilian humanoid, causing a flight disruption of truly extraterrestrial proportions. Was it a genuine encounter with a shape-shifting humanoid, or just a case of pre-flight jitters gone wildly out of hand? Or, more than likely, just a hoax!

Then we voyage to the chilly depths of Scotland's Loch Ness, where recently, a gaggle of gobsmacked tourists claim to have spotted none other than Nessie herself, surfacing from the murk to say hello! Was it the legendary Loch Ness Monster making a personal appearance or just a haggis having a swim? We're on the case, leaving no stone unturned or flipper-print uninvestigated.

In this “killer” episode, "Close Encounters of the Fatal Kind," we're unearthing the uncanny tales of 10 individuals who met their untimely ends amidst enigmatic circumstances. Their common thread? A deep dive into the world of extraterrestrial investigation.

Was it merely the grim hand of coincidence that felled these cosmic explorers, or could they have been silenced by forces unseen? Join us as we siphon truth from speculation. Are these people crying foul just conspiratorial nuts cracking under pressure, or is there more to these chilling mysteries than meets the eye?
