THE FIRE MOVED ON ITS OWN

What if fire didn’t behave the way it’s supposed to?

Steve Kelb—a career firefighter and seasoned blacksmith—knows fire. He’s worked with it, controlled it, and understood it for years.

But one night at his coal forge… everything he thought he knew changed.

While working a billet of glowing steel, Steve watched as a single flame separated from the main fire.

Then it did something impossible.

It moved.

Not like a flicker. Not like heat distortion.

It danced—back and forth between the billet and the forge—as if it had intent.

No wind. No explanation. No control.

Just a flame… that shouldn’t have been able to do what it did.

In this episode, Steve shares his firsthand encounter with something he still can’t explain—through the eyes of a man who understands fire better than most.

So what was it?

What stood just feet from their tent was something Greg believes was a Sasquatch.

Tonight, we step into the shadows of Indiana… a place where the forests whisper, the waters hide something ancient, and the legends refuse to die. From towering creatures in the wilderness to things lurking just beyond the treeline, the Hoosier State holds secrets that few dare to speak about.

These aren’t just stories… they’re sightings.

Welcome to 50 States of Fear: Indiana — where the unknown isn’t just out there… it’s already here.

In this episode of The Cryptid Podcast, Joey shares a terrifying encounter that took place in Lino Lakes, Minnesota—one that still doesn’t make sense.

While driving home late at night with his girlfriend, Joey noticed movement off to the side of the road. Moments later, he looked in his rearview mirror… and saw a large creature standing behind his car.

Then it started moving.

Traveling at around 50 miles per hour, Joey watched as the creature chased his vehicle, closing the distance faster than anything he’s ever seen. Within seconds, it was just 10 feet behind him.

He hit the gas and got away—but what he saw that night has stayed with him ever since.

The size. The speed. The way it moved.
Everything points to one possibility…

Was this a Bigfoot encounter?

Press play and decide for yourself.

It Stepped Out of the Creek

After appearing on Episode 149, Nick from Florida reached out with something you don’t hear often…He wanted to make it right.

Too much background noise, too many distractions—he didn’t feel like he gave you the episode you deserved. So he came back.

And this time… there’s no holding back.

As a kid in Kentucky, Nick had an encounter that never left him.

He was watching a creek bed when something massive started moving through the water. At first, all he could see was the head—low, gliding just above the creek like it didn’t belong there.

Then it happened.

It stepped up the steep embankment…and onto level ground.

That’s when he saw how big it really was.

Just 70 yards away.

What started as confusion quickly turned into something else entirely.

In this episode, Nick shares the full story—along with other encounters from his childhood that still don’t sit right to this day.

No distractions. No interruptions.Just the truth… the way it was meant to be told.

️ Tune in and hear what he saw.

This is one of those encounters that stays with you.
