Join us as we explore the ghost stories and supernatural encounters left on an old online bulletin board that continues to operate somewhere in an unknown part of the Pennsylvania Rust Belt - a time capsule of society's greatest fears.

Written by Brennan Storr, creator of The Ghost Story Guys, and hosted by Brandon Schexnayder, creator of Southern Gothic... Fear Daily is guaranteed to be the stuff of nightmares.

Over the last few years, a series of sightings of a strange flying creature began to be reported in and around the city of Chicago, leaving witnesses baffled, bewildered and shocked.

What on earth were people seeing both in the skies and in close encounters on terra firma? My guest this week has been investigating these strange encounters since 2017 and released his first book, "The Lake Michigan Mothman" focusing on the cases.

Now, with Unsolved Mysteries covering the encounters and a raft of witnesses speaking on camera, the Chicago Mothman case has taken a more intriguing turn.

In November 1971, a standard internal flight from Portland to Seattle became infamous the world over due to the actions of one of the passengers.

An audacious skyjacking catapulted the name D B Cooper around the world and almost over night, the legend was born. Throughout the years, the FBI and police attempted to solve the case to no avail and a slew of intrigued members of the public then took up the baton.

53 years later, will we ever know who the real Dan Cooper was? Joining me to ponder the possibilities is the marvellous Drew Beeson.

What are the Greys? Why are they here, and furthermore, what are their intentions? Why is it that after decades of alien abduction and UFO research we are no nearer in truly establishing what we may be up against regarding this omnipresent force?

Joining me to ponder these and other questions is our good friend Philip Kinsella as we dive in to his latest book, Terrestrial Trespassers!

The book can be found here:

Thank you Philip!
