Welcome to season 7, episode 4 of the I Want to Believe podcast! 


Robert Michael Pyle, the bearded lepidopterist who stole our hearts with his seminal work, Where Bigfoot Walks, is a man of many talents and pursuits. He is, of course, an author… but also a naturalist, a professor, a poet, he has been a husband, and now a widower.  


In 2020, he was lovingly portrayed by actor David Cross in the movie The Dark Divide. With special co-host Christina, we’ll be discussing the life and adventures of one of cryptozoology’s most unexpected proponents.

I Want to Believe Podcast – S7 E1 | The Many Predictions of Baba Vanga


Opening song:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ New Season by Nadiiife
Closing song: Everybody's Safe Until... by Paris Texas
Clips: Myth Stories & Most Amazing Top Ten


Welcome to the season 7 premier of the I Want to Believe podcast! We have a special guest co-host with us today… they are the creator of Kiwi’s Cryptid World, they are an artist and photographer and turns out... they are also the love of my life. Her name is Christina. 

Tonight, our story starts in Bulgaria and ends in the cosmos.
 
Baba Vanga was a Bulgarian woman who lost her sight as a child. In 1923, at 12 years old, Vanga claimed that she was caught in a tornado and thrown into a field. After the storm, she could not be located and her family assembled a search party. After nearly 72 hours, Vanga was found.


She was frightened, bruised and covered in dirt. She was cleaned and doctors addressed her superficial wounds but they found that she could not open her eyes. Vanga told them that her eyes hurt and felt as if there was sand and dirt inside of them. 


She claimed that she had her first vision during that storm. She eventually lost her sight over the following years. Her visions of the future became stronger during those years as well. 


Over time, she became world renowned for her accurate predictions which included the death of Hitler, Stalin, the Kennedy brothers, and numerous presidential elections. 


With this episode, we'll tell you about her life, her past predictions and what she said is in store for us for 2024 and beyond. 


Thanks so much for listening!

Welcome to the season 6 finale of the I Want to Believe podcast! We have a special guest co-host with us today… we usually get her on board for the spooky season, but since the subject of this episode takes place in not only her home state but her home town, we just had to get her on for this one. Valerie Lofaso is joining us!
Goblins and ghouls have been reported in all shapes and sizes. The Kinnula Humanoid was a 3 foot tall, suited creature witnessed by numerous people in Finland during the 1970s. The Dover Demon was a strange little oddity reported by several eyewitnesses in Massachusetts. And the Kentucky Goblins were little alien-like creatures who tormented a large rural family in 1955. 
Tonight, our story takes place just one year after the Kentucky Goblins incident. A man, in a small New Hampshire town, bore witness to an otherworldly visitor... 
Hope you enjoy!
