Something's Watching From The Dark

Scott's journey through the paranormal begins in a converted carriage house in southeastern Ohio, where childhood memories include an "imaginary friend," moving objects, and the terrifying nightly experience of something sitting on his bed, leaving visible depressions in the mattress. These haunting encounters coincided with escalating domestic violence between his parents, suggesting a malevolent presence influencing the household while paradoxically providing some form of protection for Scott himself.

The narrative takes a fascinating turn when Scott recounts summers spent with his grandparents in rural Eastern Kentucky. Here, he was introduced to "the calquer" – described by his great-grandfather as "big, white, and runs faster than any man could ever run." This regional term for a Bigfoot-like creature came with the ominous warning, "If you go outside at night, the booger will get you." Strange occurrences punctuated these visits: something mysteriously stealing chickens without leaving evidence, his grandmother leaving food on a stump that would disappear by morning, and an unforgettable hike with his grandfather where something large and unseen crashed through the forest nearby.

Most chilling is Scott's recent encounter with what appears to be a dogman – a massive, wolf-like creature that crossed the road with impossible speed and fluidity. Following this sighting, Scott began experiencing recurring dreams of living an alternate life with different-looking family members, dreams that have grown increasingly disturbing over time. His workplace has also become a hotspot for paranormal activity, with employees reporting shadow figures and unexplained noises.

Through these experiences spanning decades, Scott has developed a theory that various paranormal phenomena – from ghosts and demons to cryptids and extraterrestrials – may be interconnected in ways beyond our understanding. His accounts reveal the profound impact these encounters have had on his perception of reality and raise questions about what might exist beyond the veil of our everyday world.

The boundaries between our world and others blur in this riveting conversation with veteran paranormal investigator Tom, who happens to be the father of our host Luke. With decades of experience exploring the unexplained, Tom takes us through encounters that challenge conventional understanding of reality.

Tom recounts his most compelling experiences, including a chilling interaction with a fully-formed apparition of a little boy named Billy who appeared in period clothing from the 1800s. Unlike the transparent figures often depicted in popular media, Tom describes the child spirit as "pretty damn solid" before it vanished before his eyes. His former home was a hotspot for paranormal activity, from objects flying across rooms to shadowy figures walking through walls when no one else was present.

The conversation ventures into deeply personal territory when Tom shares a profound encounter with what may have been the spirit of an unborn child—his wife had experienced a miscarriage before their son Luke was born. Years later, a young woman approached Tom, called him "dad," and introduced herself before disappearing. This leads to fascinating philosophical questions about when consciousness begins and whether souls continue to develop after physical death.

Tom offers a compelling theory about dimensional frequencies, suggesting that spirits, cryptids like Bigfoot, and even extraterrestrial beings might exist on different vibrational planes that occasionally intersect with our own. "Humans are on a certain frequency and spirits are on a different frequency," he explains, comparing it to radio stations that surround us unseen until we tune to the right channel. This might explain why certain people—like Tom's partner Dawn who also joins the conversation—can perceive spiritual entities while others cannot.

From physical evidence of paranormal encounters that left Tom bleeding, to witnessed possessions during investigations, to unexplained screams in remote forests, this episode challenges listeners to reconsider what might be possible beyond our everyday perception. Whether you're a believer, skeptic, or somewhere in between, Tom's open-minded approach invites us all to question: What if reality is far more expansive than we've been programmed to believe?

Dive into the extraordinary world of paranormal perception with Joy, an evidentiary psychic and medium from Postmortem Paranormal, as she shares her lifelong journey navigating abilities present since birth. 

Joy takes us through her remarkable life story, beginning with childhood experiences in Kentucky's Bible Belt where her paranormal abilities were met with fear and religious intervention. At age four, she survived what she distinctly calls a "death experience" after being submerged in water for twenty minutes - an event that forever transformed her perception of reality and enhanced her already powerful psychic abilities.

What sets Joy apart is her unwavering commitment to science and logic. Rather than leaning on mystical explanations, she approaches spirit communication through the lens of energy science, providing specific, "un-Googleable" details in her readings that validate her connections. She describes in fascinating detail how her physical mediumship allows her to experience the death states of those who have crossed over, feeling car accidents, strokes, or illnesses in her own body during communications.

The conversation takes a remarkable turn when Joy reveals the story of her son Corey's apparent reincarnation experience. From toddlerhood, Corey spoke of "his soldiers" and dying at Gettysburg. When taken there at age five, he navigated to specific battle locations without guidance, displayed profound emotional distress, and even found "his" gravestone in a remote cemetery - only to completely forget these memories afterward. For those curious about developing their own intuitive abilities, Joy offers practical advice: journal experiences, recognize patterns, and build self-trust without ego involvement. She emphasizes that everyone possesses these gifts - the difference lies in learning to recognize and trust them. Ready to explore the boundaries between science and spirit? This episode will challenge your perceptions and open new possibilities for understanding the unseen world around us.

The line between explainable and unexplainable phenomena blurs as two paranormal investigators share their most compelling evidence and chilling personal encounters. From a mysteriously recorded voice message stating "She's mine" to seeing eyeballs materialize in sensory deprivation masks, these researchers delve into experiences that have shaped their understanding of what might exist beyond our perception.

At the heart of their conversation is the quest for intelligent communication with spirits. Using innovative techniques like card tricks, dice rolls, and penny flips, they test whether entities can provide specific, verifiable responses that demonstrate awareness. Both investigators share striking results, including accurate identification of playing cards and correct dice counts, challenging skeptics to explain how such precise information could be conveyed.

Equipment methodology takes center stage as they discuss the merits of different tools - from traditional digital recorders and spirit boxes to cutting-edge applications that use AI to detect anomalies. Yet both emphasize that authentic paranormal research requires rigorous debunking efforts, distinguishing between genuine phenomena and easily explained occurrences like bats triggering motion sensors or animals creating footstep-like sounds in abandoned buildings.

The philosophical question of what happens after death weaves throughout their conversation. Do spirits remain fixed at the age they died, or can they manifest at different points from their lifetime? Are residual hauntings merely energy imprints replaying like recordings, or might conscious entities exist within these patterns? These researchers don't claim to have definitive answers but share theories based on years of firsthand experience in locations ranging from abandoned asylums to historic battlefields.

Whether you're a seasoned paranormal enthusiast or simply curious about what might exist beyond our understanding, their insights offer a thought-provoking glimpse into the methods and experiences of those dedicated to documenting the unexplained.

From mysterious blue balloons appearing in impossible places to massive triangular craft hovering silently overhead, the journey into high strangeness often begins with subtle synchronicities before escalating into undeniable encounters.

In this fascinating conversation, Corey from Postmortem Paranormal shares how watching the documentary series "Hellier" triggered a cascade of unexplainable experiences in his life. These synchronistic events—particularly recurring blue star mylar balloons and meaningful number patterns—seemed to function as "initiatory experiences," opening doors to increasingly bizarre phenomena that defied conventional explanation.

As a lifelong stargazer with scientific inclinations, Corey brings a refreshingly balanced perspective to paranormal investigation. He embraces what he calls a "skeptical believer" approach—remaining open to extraordinary possibilities while rigorously questioning evidence and seeking conventional explanations where possible. This methodology becomes particularly valuable when examining controversial topics like government UFO disclosure programs and popular paranormal television shows.

The discussion delves into several fascinating areas: the geological and energetic factors that might contribute to UFO hotspots, the role of emerging technologies in paranormal research, and the complicated history of disinformation campaigns surrounding unexplained phenomena. Particularly illuminating is Corey's analysis of how intelligence agencies have strategically managed UFO narratives using partial truths to control public perception.

Whether you're a dedicated paranormal enthusiast or simply curious about unexplained phenomena, this conversation offers valuable insights into how personal experiences with the unknown can transform our understanding of reality—even when others might not believe what we've witnessed.

What happens when a self-described "hopeful skeptic" becomes the bridge between traditional science and one of cryptozoology's most enduring mysteries? Amy Boo, co-founder of Project Zoobook, takes us on a compelling journey through the world of serious Bigfoot research.

Amy's path began with her own potential Bigfoot sighting in 2012, which sparked a deep curiosity that eventually led her to coordinate a remarkable scientific think tank. Project Zoobook now brings together over 40 scientists from various fields across North America, all examining the possibility that an undocumented primate species exists in our forests. These aren't fringe enthusiasts but credentialed professionals, many working at established zoological institutions, who recognize the limitations of conventional scientific dogma.

The most powerful moments come when Amy shares the emotional testimony of witnesses whose encounters have fundamentally altered their lives. From the hunter who can no longer enter the woods after seeing "something that shouldn't exist" to the construction foreman whose encounter left him visibly shaken and temporarily unable to work, these stories carry a raw authenticity that's difficult to dismiss. The evidence isn't just anecdotal—Amy details specific research being conducted on ground nests discovered in the Olympic Peninsula and the consistent patterns emerging from reports in regions like northeastern Ohio and northwestern Pennsylvania.

Perhaps most compelling is Amy's balanced approach. While her personal interest focuses on Bigfoot as a biological entity, she maintains an open mind about the paranormal elements that sometimes accompany sightings. This intellectual honesty, coupled with her respect for indigenous knowledge about Sasquatch, creates a refreshingly nuanced perspective in a field often plagued by absolutism.

Join us for this fascinating conversation that might just make you question what's really out there in the forests of North America. Whether you're a dedicated Bigfoot enthusiast or simply curious about unexplained phenomena, Amy's insights offer a thoughtful gateway into the serious scientific pursuit of what many still consider impossible.

Something moves in the shadows of the Appalachian wilderness. The Cherokee have warned us for centuries about two entities that stalk these mountains—one that comes for the dying, and another cursed to wander alone forever.

The Raven Mocker arrives only when death approaches. This skeletal, shape-shifting entity feeds on the life force of the dying, stealing whatever years they had remaining. Only the most powerful medicine men can see it, though many report hearing the sound of rushing wings or mournful whistles before a loved one passes. We explore a chilling firsthand account of a family who believes they encountered this spirit as their grandfather lay dying, and the protective rituals still performed today to ward it off.

Then we venture deeper into the forest to uncover the tragic tale of the Wampus Cat—a woman transformed into a half-human, half-feline beast after being caught spying on a sacred male-only ritual. Her haunting screams still echo through the hills, and sightings of large, mysterious cats with piercing eyes continue from the Carolinas to Georgia. Are these just misidentified mountain lions, or something more supernatural?

These ancient legends blur the line between cryptid and spirit, raising fascinating questions about how traditional beliefs interpret encounters with the unknown. Both creatures serve as powerful warnings about crossing sacred boundaries and the consequences of violating spiritual taboos. As we conclude with our signature "would you rather" scenario, we're left wondering—are these just stories meant to keep people safe in dangerous wilderness, or do these watchers of old still linger in the forest, waiting for those who wander too far from the trail?

What happens when we pull back the veil between our world and the unexplained? From bone-chilling encounters in the woods to whispers of government time travel experiments, this episode takes you on a journey through the shadows of possibility.

We begin with haunting cryptid encounters – skeletal figures leaping across roads, creatures that move faster than humanly possible, and unexplainable physical contacts that left witnesses shaken. The question emerges: what exactly is Bigfoot? Our conversation explores the fascinating theory that these beings might be interdimensional rather than purely biological, possibly serving as guardians of nature or existing in a realm just beyond our perception.

The mysteries deepen as we examine the infamous Philadelphia Experiment of 1943, where a Navy destroyer allegedly teleported over 200 miles in an instant. Witness accounts describe a greenish-blue mist surrounding the ship before its disappearance, and horrifying consequences for crew members – some reportedly fused into the ship's hull, others vanishing entirely. Could the government have been experimenting with time manipulation decades ago, and what might they have discovered?

Perhaps most compelling is our exploration of the Eye of the Sahara as a potential location for the lost civilization of Atlantis. This massive geological formation matches Plato's descriptions with uncanny precision – concentric rings, appropriate size, and geographical markers aligning with ancient accounts. Once possibly lush and green, could this desert structure be hiding humanity's most legendary lost city not beneath waves, but beneath sand?

Join us as we navigate these mysteries with open minds and a spirit of curious exploration. Have you experienced something you can't explain? We'd love to hear your stories and suggestions for future topics as we continue our journey into the unknown.

A nighttime scream from the kitchen window of an Arkansas farmhouse would forever change Steve's understanding of our world. As a 19-year-old soldier stationed at Fort Polk in 1975, he found himself face-to-face with something science told him couldn't exist – a massive, bipedal creature that cleared a five-foot fence with ease and ran across open pasture "like a track star." 

Standing just 25 feet away in the bright moonlight, Steve observed what would haunt him for decades: an eight-foot-tall, 700-pound being with a humanlike profile but clearly not human. The encounter culminated with the creature shattering through solid oak boards and unleashing a roar unlike anything Steve had ever heard in his extensive outdoor experience.

For 45 years, this decorated military veteran and retired law enforcement officer kept his encounter locked inside, fearing the ridicule that would follow. Only recently has he broken his silence, discovering his story resonates with thousands who've had similar experiences but lacked the courage to come forward.

Steve's testimony gains additional weight through corroborating incidents, including a massive military operation at Fort Polk where an entire battalion reportedly encountered a similar creature, resulting in a base-wide search that discovered a military transport truck mysteriously crushed and overturned.

Through sharing his experience, Steve has become an advocate for others harboring similar encounters, particularly fellow military and law enforcement personnel who fear professional repercussions from speaking out. His thoughtful reflections on what these creatures might be – intelligent beings with both human and animal characteristics – offers compelling insights into why they've remained so elusive despite countless sightings across North America.

Have you been keeping an encounter to yourself? Perhaps it's time to share your story and discover you're not alone in what you've experienced.

A late night in the Pennsylvania woods turned into a nightmare when something followed our guest home. While taking photos of items he was selling, he heard movement unlike any animal he knew. As an experienced outdoorsman familiar with the sounds of deer, raccoons, and other wildlife, these footsteps stood out as distinctly wrong. When his camera flash illuminated the darkness, the footsteps stopped momentarily before accelerating toward him.

Fleeing to the safety of his home, he thought the encounter was over—until he glimpsed movement at his back door. There, hunched down and peering at him with glowing yellow eyes, was a gray, skeletal humanoid creature. Its skin appeared sunken around the bones, giving it an emaciated appearance despite having recognizably human features. When our guest moved, the entity darted away on all fours with unnatural speed.

The location adds another layer of intrigue to this terrifying encounter. Situated in Pennsylvania's Chestnut Ridge area, reportedly on former Native American lands, the property already had a reputation for paranormal activity. Our guest later discovered his description matched internet folklore about an entity known as "The Rake," though he had no prior knowledge of these stories. Unlike Bigfoot or other well-known cryptids, this creature defies easy categorization, challenging our understanding of what might be lurking in the shadows.

This encounter raises profound questions: What exists in the liminal spaces between our world and others? How do ancient Native American legends of skinwalkers and wendigoes connect to modern sightings? And most unnervingly—what happens when these entities follow us home? Join us for this bone-chilling firsthand account that will make you think twice about what might be watching from just beyond your doorway.
