In the deep, frozen forests of the North, an ancient and intelligent hunger is said to wait. More than just a cautionary myth, the Wendigo of Algonquian lore presents a terrifying and consistent paranormal profile: a malevolent spirit of possession, an emaciated giant with a heart of ice, and a predator that feasts on human flesh and despair.

In this episode, we build a supernatural case file. We analyze the horrifying, historical accounts of Swift Runner and Jack Fiddler not as mere crime stories, but as potential evidence of a true possession. We cross-examine folklore as if it were eyewitness testimony, profile the entity’s modus operandi, and examine modern encounters that suggest this frozen fear is not just a story, but a conscious, stalking presence that may still linger in the winter shadows. Is the Wendigo the most real monster we’ve ever faced?

For centuries, the Shroud of Turin—a length of linen bearing the ghostly, blood-stained image of a crucified man—has been one of the world's most debated religious relics. Is it the authentic burial cloth of Jesus Christ, or an elaborate medieval forgery? In this episode, we untangle fact from faith.

Join us for a concise journey through time, faith, and cutting-edge science, as we examine what we know, what we don't, and why this ancient linen cloth continues to captivate and confound us in the modern age.

What if the most significant events of your life were hidden from you, tucked away in a gap of "Missing Time"? In the 1970s and 80s, Budd Hopkins proposed this was happening to thousands, and he held the key: hypnotic regression. His work propelled the UFO abduction phenomenon from fringe speculation into a terrifying, personal reality for many. But as we follow the trail of lost hours and recovered memories, we must confront a difficult mystery: are we hearing the whispers of a non-human intelligence, or the echo of the investigator's own leading questions? Join me and let’s explore the shadowy intersection where memory, trauma, and the unknown collide.

A brief announcement --the Phenomena Case Files podcast is back from a brief sojourn and ready to dive deep into our favorite mysteries, so hang tight for the October 13 release of this episode.

What if an ancient prophecy about the final Pope is unfolding right now?

In Part 2 of The Last Pope: Prophecies Unveiled, we crack open the cryptic mottoes of St. Malachy—decoding their hidden mechanisms and prophetic symbology. Then, we pit two scholars against each other: Robert Howell’s meticulous research in The Last Pope versus John Hogue’s esoteric vision in St. Francis Last Pope.

But the real shocker? A bombshell revelation tying the prophecy to Pope Leo XIV—straight from the 16th-century manuscript of Medieval Friar Arnold de Wyon. Was this the missing link all along?

Was St. Malachy right? Is the end of the papacy near? Don’t miss The Last Pope: Prophecies Unveiled – Part 2

Step into the shadows of history, religion, and the unknown with The Last Pope: Prophecies Unveiled, the podcast that unravels one of Catholicism’s most enigmatic mysteries: St. Malachy’s Prophecy of the Last Pope. Join us as we journey through the dramatic events that shook the Vatican to its core—the unprecedented resignation of Pope Benedict XVI in 2013 and the rise of his successor, Pope Francis. Was Benedict’s decision a humble acknowledgment of his limitations, or did darker forces—or even prophecy—play a role?

We’ll explore the ancient predictions of St. Malachy, a 12th-century Irish saint who foretold the reign of 112 popes, culminating in the final pontiff, Petrus Romanus—Peter the Roman. Could Pope Francis, the first Jesuit pope and the first from the Americas, be the fulfillment of this prophecy? Or does the Catholic Church await another leader as the world edges toward an uncertain future?

From the intrigue of Vatican scandals to the eerie accuracy of Malachy’s predictions, this podcast delves into the questions that captivate believers and skeptics alike. Is the end near? What does the future hold for the Catholic Church? Tune in to The Last Pope: Prophecies Unveiled and uncover the secrets that lie at the intersection of faith, history, and destiny.

In memory of Pope Francis

A brief placeholder between now and the The Last Pope Prophecies of Saint Malachy, this episode is a short one to keep in touch and reflect on the subtext of this upcoming series.

If you listened to 'The Last Pope: A Prelude, a Reflection ~ Redux' -we delved into dark prophecies and end-of-days visions like the 'Lady of Fatima's" apparition in 20th century Portugal, where three children, shepherding their sheep, encountered what is known today as one of the most widely corroborated supernatural event in recent history and one of few prophecies sanctioned by the Vatican– this episode is a reflection whether there is relationship between dark psychological states and prophetic visions.
