Tracing Owls

An encounter they don't want you to know! A visitor from a faraway place! A man hellbent on revealing the truth so much he literally travels down to the molten core of the Earth!

All main sources of this story have been erased from history, though our belief still remains. One day we may locate them. We will never stop searching, as long as we know that the truth is out there!

A pair of Dreadheads help me dissect the legend of snuff films and our obsession with death on camera!

TRIGGER WARNING: Apart from obviously discussing filmed murders and suicides, we will also be exposing our morbid curiosity over gore videos and violent underground cinema. Jon and Jo are also sick fucks with a dark sense of humor (as am I), so don't go whining if you are offended by our jokes today!

Yes, as you may have noticed, today we are putting our edgelord fedoras on to discuss the origins of the snuff film urban legend, exploitation movies like Snuff or Cannibal Holocaust which contributed to the legend unfolding, the role of gore sites in preserving lost media, and even the Vietnam war's role in introducing an American audience to televised depictions of blood and guts, in living color!

======================

Huge THANK YOU!!! to Jon and Jo for bravely emerging from the shadows, allowing an oblivious audience to be exposed to whatever atrocious mental STD they were carrying! ❤️

Shibble nerds over Dungeons & Dragons as we discuss the franchise's most prosperous days: the Satanic Panic!

But beware, as we are dissecting D&D through the lens of 80s mass hysteria we will also be talking about triggering topics such as child abuse, teenage suicide and crazed conservative right-wingers!

Shibble breaks down the history of Satanic Panic through the stories which inspired books like Remembering Satan, The Dungeon Master and even Michelle Remembers, while I attempt to crap all over regressive hypnosis yet again, by tying the alien abduction craze back to satanic ritual abuse hysteria. 

Shibble also shakes his head in disappointment as I try to make the case that D&D truly is magic, and may be used for divination! Hey, maybe we trigger some conspiracy nuts along the way!

===============

Huge THANK YOU!!! to Shibble from Uncle Monster's Spooky Time Fright Hour for purging all of his D&D and Satanic Panic obsessions upon us, allowing me to profit off his knowledge without doing a sliver of research myself! 🤣

A psychedelic exploration into the subconscious mind of a creative weirdo! Yes, that's what most paranormal experiences actually are... but also the plot of this episode.

I present you a recycled compilation of very introspective psychedelic scenes I created for my old show, culminating in more ranting from our buddy Aaron!

WARNING: This episode is full of juvenile toilet humor! This is to be expected if we are exploring the imaginal innerspace of my own psyche!

Puxley and Fred join a weird-ass roundtable on advocating high strangeness and re-weirdening the weird!

After not much convincing by myself and Fred, we dragged Puxley out of his shell to have an open-ended discussion about the mainstream's tendency to shed away the high strangeness, and our own efforts to counter this by spreading awareness of the weird!

But as our tricksterish minds cannot stay on topic, we deviate into intricate discussion on hypnotic states, past-life regression, quantum entanglement, acid dreams of UFO chimneys, shadow-stealing goblins, and even mysterious trains full of masquerading aliens! Yes, it just gets weirder and weirder!

==============

Huge THANK YOU!!! to Barbara Fisher for allowing me to use her amazing artwork as the episode art!

Huge THANK YOU!!! to Puxley for emerging from under his rock and allowing the world to hear his incredible mind once more!

Huge THANK YOU!!! to Fred Andersson for sharing so many weird stories, and leaving off on an adventure in the ghost train! Thankfully he returned safely and alive, though he claims to feel dead inside, as usual.

Fred returns to share tales of ghost rockets, Scandinavian trolls, clowns, mummies, and even floating boxes!

Fred Andersson is an author, Fortean researcher, and a producer of Scandinavia's #1 paranormal streaming show Spökjakt. His upcoming book "Northern Lights: High Strangeness in Sweden" chronicles some of the most bizarre cases of UFO weirdness dug up from the annals of Swedish ufology.

Along the way we lose our sanity discussing flaps of vampire, mummy and even clown sightings, attempted alien abductions which I misheard as involving freakin' dragons, trolls stuck in people's houses, gnomes emerging from floating light orbs, and how sharing ghostly experiences often serves as a gateway to safely talk about high strangeness!

==============

Huge THANK YOU!!! to Fred Andersson for sharing so many weird stories, becoming a close friend, and even quoting me in his upcoming book!

I go off on a solo rant discussing high strangeness as a catalyst for perceptual diversity!

After doing a whole roundtable with 3 artists about the Kelly-Hopkinsville goblins, I have been left pondering whether the cultural influence of these strange cases are a much more relevant subject of study than the reality of the event itself.

Whether they were alien, fairies or just a bunch of barn owls, the Kentucky goblins have transcended any possible physical existence from bygone days, persevering to this day through art, media, language and storytelling as a globalized cultural entity.

Check out my prior roundtable where we analyze this case through the perspectives of digital artists: Kentucky Goblin Fairy-Go-Round - with Todd Purse, Kris Galeano and TheCrescentHare

Huge THANK YOU!!! to Kris Galeano for providing his amazing artwork of the eyewitness sketches in a police lineup! ❤️

Garett shares his zany adventures sleuthing for, and ultimately embodying, a mysterious shrimp creature!

Garrett Kelly is the co-founder of Liminal Earth, a crowd-sourced online map of the weird and unusual. In his spare time he also enjoys investigating anomalous occurrences in and around the urban environments of Bremerton and Seattle... sometimes while dressed in a shrimp costume!

So what's the deal with the shrimp? Well... upon moving to Bremerton, WA, he learned of an old magazine article detailing a witness's terrifying encounter with a 5-foot tall shrimp creature lurking in her basement.

This case sent Garrett on a wild goose chase, encountering clues and synchronicities leading him to piles of peeled oranges, a mysterious goggled man, hidden shrimp-infested creeks, an abandoned dream park, child-stealing snail women, and a profound realization that such strange journeys help remind us of the innate magic hidden within our own cities!

======================

Huge THANK YOU!!! to Garrett Kelly of Liminal Earth for sharing these hilarious glimpses into the unknown and his efforts to reintroduce a bit of mystery in his urban community! ❤️
