In a remote area of Siberia in June of 1908, there would be a massive explosion. According to most scientists, this explosion was caused by an asteroid that exploded with the power of 250 Hiroshima bombs. This explosion would be spotted around the world and have ripple effects. But at the time, hardly anyone knew it had happened because this area of Siberia was so incredibly remote. It wouldn’t be investigated until years later and scientists still can’t be one hundred percent certain of the cause. This explosion has led to thousands of scientific studies, and fascinating conspiracy theories. This is the story of the Tunguska event.

In the 1800s, a cemetery in Brunswick, NY opened to the public. The 22 acres were lush and green. Today, the cemetery is abandoned. While it is full of historic monuments and markers, many areas are falling apart and it is often vandalised. The cemetery is only open to the public one day out of the year. This place is chalk full of urban legends, stories of tragic deaths, and alleged paranormal activity. Some even say this place is a Gateway to Hell. This is the story of the Forest Park or “Pinewoods” Cemetery.

Beginning in about the 1980s, a wildfire would spread throughout the US, and by the late 90s, to many parts of the world. These were modern day witch trials. A distorted lens of hysteria had taken over, and the end result would be more than 12,000 unsubstantiated cases of Satanic ritualistic abuse. Lives were destroyed by unspeakable rumors and wrongful convictions. Not even Dungeons and Dragons and heavy metal music were safe. Churches were alleging backmasking was being used by rock musicians to put satanic messaging into their music. People were playing their records backwards to see if they were satanic. And to some extent, one could argue this movement still persists today. This is the story of The Satanic Panic.

Well known in Ohio folklore, there are humanoid frog-like creatures that stand at about 4 feet or 1.2 meters tall. According to local legend, they were first spotted around 70 years ago, in May 1955. Sightings by locals led to numerous police reports and would later inspire muscles, books, and more recently, even humorous horror found footage. In 2023, this creature even became the city's mascot. But were these sightings nothing more than a hoax? Was it a case of mistaken identity? Or was it an undiscovered creature? A creature from another dimension? This is the story of the Loveland Frogmen.

In the second half of the episode, Kaydra also shares several other alleged cryptid encounters from Ohio including tales of Mothman and Dogman sightings.
