In deep shadowed forests, down back alleys and desolate reaches of road, strange encounters echo. This is a haunted world. But there ARE THOSE who are called to seek these stories out; record and preserve them so that we all might peer more eagerly into the chasm of the unknown.



From Horse Skull entities lurking in Abandoned shacks to invisible giants thundering through the woods.



On this episode of Belief Hole, we invite Bestselling Author and Renowned Storyteller, Steve Stockton, to share some of his own brushes with the Bizarre, and explore the beliefs and theories of the unsettling, the uncanny, and the unexplained.

Through deep research and high-strangeness storytelling, three brothers explore paranormal encounters and unexplained events. Collecting freaky listener stories and scouring the dusty pages of classic Fortean texts, the brothers use high-production sound design to set the scene for alleged real encounters with, Dogman, Poltergeists, Bigfoot, Fairy Folk, Humanoids, UFOs, Shadow People, and Sky Creatures.. just to name a few.

Attempting to parse out the facts within folklore, the brothers of the Hole banter about everything from bizarre historical mysteries to emerging clandestine conspiracy theories, often challenging their own beliefs and sometimes each other's sanity. Good humor, good drinks, and good discussion! Have you ever overheard a co-worker shakily tell his story of a real encounter with a Dogman? Has your friend or weird uncle told you about his close encounter with a reptilian humanoid from the sewer? Looking to corroborate your grandma's true ghost stories? Were you born with a thirst for the mysterious? Well, sit back and pour yourself a big glass from the Belief Hole, my friend, and help us dig the weird!
