This week, we investigate an ancient Greek legend that tells the story of a half-man-half-bull, CURSED to wander a giant hidden maze, killing all those who enter. This mythical creature is known as the Minotaur and was a popular part of Greek mythology... but could there be some truth behind the story? What if the rumours of this creature were based on a real cryptid?

True crime

In the world of the paranormal, cryptids are terrifying enough as they are. Sasquatch. Chupacabra. The Squonk. There are more than enough scary beasts roaming the earth to keep paranormal investigators up at night. Unfortunately for them, though, there are certain creatures to be even more fearful of… enter the Batsquatch. Deep in the Pacific North West, an area already famous for Sasquatch encounters, lives a Bat/Bigfoot hybrid beast. Fused together in the molten core of the earth inside Mount Saint Helens, it burst forth in the 1980s to stalk the population of Oregon and Washington. Time for Rory and Kit to track it down and investigate.

#363 Batsquatch - Terrifying Bigfoot Hybrid Stalking America

When we think of haunted castles, we think of Transylvania, Ireland and pretty much anywhere but America... but tucked away in the small state of Rhode Island is Belcourt Castle, a huge mansion erected in 1891 and stuffed full of ancient artifacts with paranormal baggage. From haunted mirrors to electric chairs, every room of this castle has something new to investigate.

#362 The Most HAUNTED Castle in America

In 2017 global history was made when two, apparently pre-pubescent (judging by their voices), 25 year old investigators known as Kit and Rory deemed the Loch Ness Monster to be a real paranormal cryptid, giving it a double yes in their investigation. But there was a problem - how could Nessie be the only sea serpent in the British Isles when Kit and Rory grew up only around 200 miles away (as the crow flies) from Loch Ness? There are countless lakes, some larger and deeper than Loch Ness, dotted around Britain and Ireland. Well it turns out that Ireland has more than its fair share of aquatic legends. Perhaps the most famous of all is Muckie, a beast incredibly similar to Nessie and has been spotted on and off for decades in Killarney National Park. To find it will require tenacity, grit, and a not insubstantial amount of dynamite. Time for Rory and Kit to investigate.

#361 Muckie - Ireland’s Loch Ness Monster

On March 16, 1967, a strange object was seen hovering above an Air Force Base in Montana. 60 seconds later, an entire fleet of nuclear missiles were knocked offline. What happened next was rollercoaster of secret investigations, government shutdowns and classified reports. But this incident wouldn't stay secret for long... after all, this wasn't the first time an object had appeared at Malmstrom Air Force Base...

#360 The Declassified UFO ATTACK - Malmstrom Air Force UFO

Imagine you could see anything on earth from the comfort of your sofa, what would you look at? Fair enough in our modern world of Ring doorbells and drones this is slightly less strange, but for most of human history this was a God-like ability up there with transforming water into wine and remaining calm in traffic jams. Crucially during the cold war the US government began to take this paranormal ability, known as Remote Viewing, very seriously indeed. With shady secrets, military bunkers, and piles of redacted dossiers, this is some of the most fascinating history in the paranormal world. Time for Kit and Rory to investigate.
