Slaying Monsters

Nestled off the southern coast of Nova Scotia is a small, tree covered island with a bottomless mystery. This privately owned island has been the target of treasure hunters for over two hundred years. If the rumors and legends are true, a vast fortune lies buried under the island, sealed off in a complex maze of booby-trapped tunnels. This treasure, claimed to be long lost bounty from ruthless pirates or ancient secret societies, has captivated archeologists for centuries. Even today, seekers still continue the search, making it perhaps the most expensive treasure hunt in history.

Matt and EJ conclude their investigation of the the Sasquatch, and its early history. We talk Albert Ostman, the prospector who lived for a week with a family of Sasquatch. Is he the witness John Green and Rene Dahinden have been looking for? And what does it mean if all these early reports contradict each other? 

Matt and EJ dive into the latest Fortean news, looking at life of Venus, recent Champ sightings, the Kingman UFO crash and an in depth look at Luis Elizondo and his new book Imminent. Plus, Matt samples the first Sasquatch Sunrise cocktail!

When we talk about Sasquatch, theoretically, we’re talking about a living animal. Because of this, the topic of Sasquatch biology and behavior is a cornerstone of the research. If we can figure out how these creatures deal with the world around them, we can get a better understanding of their existence, and have a better chance of being able to actually catch one, either of camera or in a trap.

Matt and EJ conclude their investigation of the Dybbuk Box, the wine cabinet allegedly haunted by an evil spirt from Jewish folklore. When paranormal investigator Zak Bagans gets his hands on the box, you know things are gonna get spooky. Plus, Matt explains SLS cameras and weighs in on their ghost hunting ability. 

Matt and EJ dive into the recent Fortean news, covering giant sea creatures, the quest to catch up to interstellar objects, unexplained structures in the desert and new theories on the hollow earth myth.
