Strange Things with Chris James

The podcast is being downloaded in several countries so here is a selection of things from each country that is defiantly strange. India has the Monkeyman as well as the Golden Temple. From the United Kingdom I talk about the Wildman and the Screaming Skulls. The Philippines has a vampire creature called the Tiyanak. In Australia there is a new cryptid seen by six men but lacking a name. From Denmark comes Pesta and some UFO sightings. Off the coast of Greece there is a UFO base. Norway is the home of Trolls. In both Canada and the United States I talk about the Wendigo. 

From the Dismal Swamp Monster, the Van Meter Monster, to the Mountain Boomer, there have been some bizarre creatures seen over the years that vanish into legend only to resurface years later. Many are only known to those who live near by or have had a run in with them. Here are some unexplainable sighting to keep an eye out for next time you're out and about. 

I start out the show talking about some little known creature sightings. The Webb County Beast, the Enfield Monster as well as the Mogollon Monster. I also added some just weird things people have reported over the years. Things people have run into while traveling through cornfields. 

The first part of the show I'll talk about the Iron Gate in Bagdad. A spooky story. The rest of the show will be on the Tiny Coffins found near Edinburgh Scotland. Uncovered in 1836, seventeen tiny coffins, each with a wooden occupant. These bodies were made to look like real people dressed in handmade clothing. The coffins were decorated to look like actual coffins, with cloth linings. These strange objects mystified people until a bizarre theory came out that just might explain what they were used for. 

There is a relic that holds immense power. Everyone who has had this spear in their possession have won battles despite being vastly out numbered.  The relic has also healed people who were blind or had severe eyesight problems. There are many stories about how this spear has caused people to become rulers or dictators. Here is what I could find about the Spear of Destiny. 

In Massachusetts is a two hundred square mile area where all manner of bizarre activity has been seen. For hundreds of years people have seen UFOs, Cryptids, Ghosts, as well as other unexplainable things. There have also been many murders, some connected to Satanic Rituals. Here are some of the things going on in this triangular shaped section of land. 

In the 1590s over one hundred colonists vanished leaving only one word as a clue as to what happened, "Croatoan." These are not the only people to vanish from the area around Roanoke Island. Here is the story as far as I can find it. 

For thousands of years people have been seeing creatures flying through the sky that look like snakes with wings. Some folks have seen something they say look like pterosaurs even in resent times. Are these living, breathing creatures, or as some believe, some form of UFO. Here are some stories from way back right up to the last few years. 

People have been seeing an odd creature in the European Alps. It looks like a cross between a cat and a serpent. Some have said its blood will burn your skin. Others say it can breathe out toxic fumes. In the 1500s a body was found and studied by a Professor of Natural Science. He called it a dragon because he didn't know what else to call it. Here is what can be found about this weird cryptid. 

In 2002 a Special Forces Squad were in the mountains looking for a missing patrol when they ran into a thirteen foot tall monster. After the short gun battle the soldiers found the giant had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. There was a double row of teeth in its mouth. This was not the first time soldiers have had to do battle with enormous creatures. Here are some stories from all over our planet.
