Brandon Shane of "Beyond Formal" joins the show.

This episode unpacks the chilling night in 1955 when a Kentucky farmhouse was terrorized by "Goblins" and how that single event spiraled into a web of high strangeness. We trace the threads that connect Hellier’s unsettling rabbit holes, to the Goblins, from shadowy Mammoth Cave systems to the whispered name of Indrid Cold. Along the way, we dig into the eerie symbolism of the 37th parallel, Mothman, the Flatwoods Monster, and the unnerving synchronicities that refuse to be coincidence. Appalachia doesn’t just hold folklore; it holds secrets, and we went hunting for them.
