3 min - Tale of the Guglucanga
A fitting end to the show. I created this little skit about 3 years ago and it is uncanny how much it still resonates and expresses my views on cryptozoology, and by extension most of "paranormal investigation" as a whole.
Thanks to all the listeners who stuck around despite always hearing me say stuff they do not want to hear, but probably should.Thanks to all the guests who helped us better understand the complex linguistic, cultural, social and personal nuances of these odd interests and experiences.Outro sampled from Sequence (Mystery and Terror) 3 by Francisco Sánchez (@fanchisanchez) at pixabay.comFollow, Like, Support Francisco via his facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Francisco-S%C3%A1nchez-205622936184228....or his Jamendo page: https://www.jamendo.com/artist/370168/francisco-sanchezCheck out more of Francisco's music BELOW!!!Mystery and imagination stories - https://www.jamendo.com/album/195217/mystery-and-imagination-storiesMystery and terror sequences (on FREE SOUND LAB) - https://www.jamendo.com/album/195595/mystery-and-terror-sequences5 min - REWIND | Psychedelic Sasquatch Bedtime Cocktail - with UFO BigfootUFO Bigfoot snuggles with me in bed to discuss awesome paranormal books, the Bigfoot/UFO connection, Bigfoot as an egregore and a plethora of connections between the Fae and other liminal entities!He is a bit shy at first snuggling in bed with a stranger, but eventually opens up to share his own personal experiences: a childhood ghost encounter, the sighting of a light orb splitting into 12 pieces, and a shamanic initiation under the influence of 90s acid!DISCLAIMER: Please don't use drugs! They are bad for you, and will make you do horrible things. Like snuggling in bed with me and discussing the voluptuous bosom of Patty the Sasquatch! UFO Bigfoot did it so you don't have to!======================Huge THANK YOU!!! to UFO Bigfoot from Dark Notes Podcast for reading me weird ass bedtime stories which kept me awake until 6 AM!

- Hungry Hungry HipposMight river monster legends be projected ancestral memories of freakin' hippos, passed onto us from our earliest roots in Africa?Discussed are the Kelpie, Dobhar-chu, Ahuizotl, and their possible achetypal ties to the #1 deadliest animal in Africa!10 min
- Oogie Boogie BookmarksDo cryptids and ghosts serve as personified reminders of obscure historical events? And are we using them as middle men who allow us to gracefully disassociate ourselves from the errors of our past?Discussed is the idea that cryptids and ghosts may serve as bookmarks which help us rediscover our own history, with special emphasis on the Hull Werewolf and the Sliderock Bolter.15 min

- Catching the Idea ButterflyI have been pursuing the idea butterflies so intensely that my head has found its way up my butt! So as I am taking a break, my plans are to create audio blog content where I may ramble and pass these butterflies (and some gas) onto y'all!P.S. I was informed that "divinating" is not a real word, but since "divining" sounds very Christian for some reason I don't care 🤣14 min
- REWIND | Egregoric Humbuggery - with Jordan Heath
Jordan joins my attempt to piss off the cryptid community by endorsing them darn hoaxers!
We blatantly declare the Patterson-Gimlin footage a hoax, using its mangled remains alongside other fraudulent cryptid shenanigans to demonstrate how Bigfoot actually IS real, but not the way you want it to be!
Can hoaxes actually spark genuine phenomena? Can they manifest monsters in the form of egregores or tulpas? Or are these monstrous manifestations rather our instinctual projections which inspire us to form and maintain communities?
We hop across America discussing some favorite imaginal cryptid fugitives:
The elegantly coon-suited Selbyville Swamp Monster!
The bombastic radio-surfing Cole Hollow Road Monster!
The reckless vehicle-shredding Lizardman of Scape Ore Swamp!
The chonky finger-biting Beast of Busco!
...and the perpetually intoxicated horny bunny himself: The Jackalope!

1 hr 16 min - REWIND | Invasion of the Culture Snatchers - with Cracking Cryptids and Curios
Matt and Angel lose their minds digging through the questionable origins of beloved international cryptids!
Starting a cryptid podcast just as a fun way to talk about monsters, their desire for proper research oftentimes leads them head first into the dark underbelly of our historical past they never anticipate! Cultural appropriation, colonial imperialism, and even blatant racism have been a staple of cryptozoology since its inception.
Has this changed at all in modern times, or are we now repurposing these stolen cultural icons to sell cheap products to the masses? To answer this, we also take a brief dive into Matt and Angel's favorite pastime: Discussing shitty cryptid movies! We almost get eaten by ghost sharks along the way 🤣
======================
Huge THANK YOU!!! to Matt and Angel from Cracking Cryptids and Curios for sharing their first guest appearance with my show, providing so many hard laughs along the way and giving me a sense of hope that casual cryptid podcasts can actually do great research and focus on the cultural complexity of these topics ❤️

1 hr 22 min - SPOTLIGHT | Autopsy. Podcast - Elisa Lam
The autopsy of Elisa Lam. Much has been said and made of the tragic death of this young woman. Odd circumstances to be sure. The truth, however, is quite elementary.

About Tracing Owls
From the publisher's feed
An eccentrically nuanced exploration into Fortean philosophy, focusing on the roles of Mother Nature, the Trickster and the experiencer in shaping phenomena, with tremendous doses of absurdity,…
mischief, but also humility! Cryptids, UFOs, Paranormal phenomena, High strangeness and Fortean anomalies, do they all possibly originate from the same source? Are they actually a mirror to our own subconsciousness, and what may they teach us about ourselves? We seek to catalogue the overlooked, spotlight the disregarded, and remind that the cosmic expanse is much greater than our understanding of it!
