For years, investigator JC Johnson documented cases in the American Southwest that defied conventional wildlife encounters. Livestock are killed without being fed. Massive 'Furry Ones.' Upright predators are seen pacing vehicles. Winged humanoids returning night after night. And families targeted in ways that left lasting fear.
In this episode of Phantoms & Monsters Radio, I present a focused selection of JC's most disturbing Four Corners investigations. These are not legends. These are documented cases with recurring patterns that continue to surface across the region.
What emerges is not a single explanation, but a convergence. Cryptids. Predators. Cultural memory. And a landscape that does not let go of what moves through it.
More cases remain. This is only the beginning.
JC Johnson was a Southwest-based investigator and lead researcher for Crypto Four Corners, known for documenting cryptid encounters, livestock mutilations, and unexplained predation across the Four Corners region. His work emphasized field investigation, witness testimony, and indigenous knowledge, particularly on Navajo lands. Rather than offering simple explanations, Johnson focused on recurring patterns involving upright predators, winged humanoids, Sasquatch activity, and bloodless animal deaths. His investigations and collaborations with researchers & investigators continue to be referenced in ongoing discussions of anomalous activity in the American Southwest.
As always, these accounts are presented without exaggeration, without conclusions forced upon the listener, and with respect for the witnesses who came forward.
