February 21, 2026 ARE ALL WINGED HUMANOIDS THE SAME? Chicagoland vs Everywhere Else
For years, I’ve been asked the same question. Are the Chicago winged humanoids the same beings reported near Point Pleasant, West Virginia, in 1966 and 1967? And if so, what exactly are they?
In this episode, I examine multiple non-Chicagoland winged humanoid encounters, including cases from Missouri, Florida, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, and the Ohio River corridor. Each case is directly compared with structurally similar sightings from the 2017 Chicago wave.
We analyze height variation, red-eyed manifestations, wing concealment, highway corridor crossings, tree-perch behavior, and ground-to-air transitions. Are we looking at a single distributed species with regional differences, multiple related morphotypes, or a phenomenon that transcends conventional biological explanation?
The larger question remains. Are these beings Earth-dwelling creatures navigating hidden terrain corridors, or are they ultraterrestrial entities sharing our environment in ways we barely understand?
This is not speculation. This is a pattern comparison across decades.

February 14, 2026 JC JOHNSON'S LEGACY: Cryptid Mysteries in the Four Corners
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.

February 07, 2026 SUPERNATURAL PROTECTORS Who Appear When You Are Most Vulnerable
Some protectors do not announce themselves. They appear when fear is highest, when danger is unseen, and when witnesses are at their most vulnerable.
In this episode of Phantoms & Monsters Radio, we examine a disturbing and deeply personal collection of eyewitness accounts involving supernatural protectors, guardians, and sentinels. These are not vague feelings or symbolic visions. These are encounters with intelligent presences that arrive at critical moments, intervene without explanation, and often vanish just as suddenly as they appear.
The cases presented include silent bedside guardians during moments of isolation, towering antlered sentinels guarding forest boundaries, unknown forces that escort hikers out of danger, and ancient watcher entities connected to regional land intelligence. Some witnesses describe overwhelming compassion and reassurance. Others report firm warnings, time distortions, and enforced boundaries that were not meant to be crossed.
Across cultures, locations, and belief systems, the pattern remains consistent. These entities do not behave like ghosts, cryptids, or folklore figures. They act with intent. They appear to monitor, protect, guide, and sometimes remove individuals from harm without ever revealing who or what they truly are.
This episode explores the unsettling possibility that humanity is not as unobserved as we believe, and that certain forces intervene only when absolutely necessary.
Featured in this episode• Guardian figures appearing in bedrooms during illness and isolation• Antlered forest sentinels issuing warnings and enforcing territory• Witnesses escorted out of danger by unknown humanlike figures• Ancient land-based intelligences tied to specific regions• Patterns linking protection, vulnerability, and sudden disappearance
As always, these accounts are presented without exaggeration, without conclusions forced upon the listener, and with respect for the witnesses who came forward.

January 31, 2026 SKINWALKER RANCH: The True Stories That Few People Know!
Skinwalker Ranch did not become famous overnight, and the phenomena did not begin with investigators or cameras. This is the documented history of what happened there before the world was watching, and why the activity never truly stopped.
*Pre-Sherman era activity and early Basin anomalies
*NIDS investigations and the camera sabotage mystery
*Modern encounters beyond the ranch boundary
This presentation examines Skinwalker Ranch as a patterned anomaly zone, not a television set piece. This episode is for listeners who value critical thinking, investigative discipline, and honest uncertainty.

January 24, 2026 THEY KEPT COMING BACK: Repeated Encounters With Unseen Watchers
Tonight’s reports span more than a century, involving recurring encounters, regional waves, and long-term aftereffects. Rather than offering conclusions, this broadcast challenges the assumption that repetition equals intent and asks what these patterns actually tell us about perception, memory, and the limits of investigation.
In this live investigative episode, I present seven carefully selected reports involving repeated encounters, pattern recognition across time, and experiences that did not resolve cleanly after a single event.
The cases include:
• Multiple personal encounters separated by years or decades
• Family and community clusters
• Historical reports recorded before modern paranormal language existed
• Cloaked or distorted humanoid figures
• Large bipedal entities and regional encounter waves
• A modern incident involving injury, memory disruption, and long-term consequences
Rather than framing these experiences as evidence of intent or intelligence, this discussion focuses on restraint, context, and the danger of assuming meaning where evidence remains incomplete.
This episode is for listeners who value critical thinking, investigative discipline, and honest uncertainty.
