This week on Turtle Island Talk, we’re bringing you some powerful updates and stories from across Indigenous nations — from justice long overdue to spiritual encounters that defy explanation.

We begin with a major update in the Jeremy Skibicki case out of Winnipeg. After continued advocacy, the remains of Morgan Harris and Marcedes Myran have been found, and “Buffalo Woman” has now been identified as Ashlee Shingoose.

Next, we turn to a rare win for land back: Illinois has returned stolen ancestral land to the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation — a long-overdue act of restitution.

In New Mexico, lawmakers have passed a long-fought-for alert system specifically for missing Native Americans, a critical step toward addressing the epidemic of MMIW.

Down in Peru’s Amazon, the Wampis Indigenous Guard continues to push back against illegal mining, defending their territory with bold resistance and deep tradition.

And finally, we end this episode on a chilling note — with former Navajo Ranger Stanley Milford Jr., who has broken his silence about the paranormal investigations he led on the Navajo Nation. From skinwalkers to Bigfoot to things you simply can't explain, his stories give us a glimpse into the unseen.

She checked into the Cecil Hotel and never checked out. 

In Part One, we head deep into the shadows of Los Angeles, where 21-year-old Elisa Lam vanished without a trace. Her last known moments — caught on an elevator camera — are disturbing, confusing, and unforgettable. 

Was it paranoia? Possession? Or something stalking her in that hotel? The Cecil has secrets, and Elisa’s story is just the beginning.

Deep in the canyons of northern Mexico, the Rarámuri people tell stories about giants—real ones. They're called Ganokos, and they’re not friendly spirits or misunderstood creatures. These things are tied to an ancient vegetation god named Ganó, who was said to steal and eat children.

In this episode, we break down the legend of the Ganokos and how it's still very real to the Rarámuri today. We’ll go through their deep history, the culture they’ve protected for centuries, and the places they still refuse to go, because something might be waiting.

We’re talking about modern sightings, missing people, and what the Ganokos could actually be—giants, guardians, or something even worse.

This one’s packed. Thanks for listening

In the heart of 12th-century England, a bizarre tale emerged from the small village of Woolpit—one that still puzzles historians and paranormal enthusiasts to this day. Two children, with skin as green as fresh spring leaves, appeared seemingly out of nowhere, speaking an unknown language and refusing all food except for raw beans. Were they lost souls from an underground world, fae folk who wandered too far, or something even stranger?

In this episode of True Terror on Tap, we dive deep into the eerie legend of the Green Children of Woolpit. We’ll explore the historical accounts, possible explanations, and the supernatural theories that have kept this story alive for centuries. Were these children truly otherworldly, or is there a darker truth hidden in medieval folklore? Grab a drink, settle in, and prepare for a journey into one of history’s most chilling and enigmatic tales.

🔪🖤 True terror awaits.

The Ucumar, often called the Andean Bigfoot, is said to roam the remote mountainous regions of Argentina and Bolivia. Unlike its North American counterpart, it is typically described as shorter, stockier, and faster—ranging between five to seven feet tall. The body is covered in thick, dark fur, and most accounts claim it walks upright like a human but can drop to all fours when moving at high speed.

Most encounters occur at night or in heavily wooded areas, making it almost impossible to track. Some accounts say it watches people from a distance, staying just out of reach but making sure it is seen or heard enough to warn trespassers. Others claim it chases people away from certain areas, as if defending its territory.

What do you think it could be? A bear, a hermit, or maybe a spirit?

This week? Power players in trouble. Hollywood’s burning—maybe literally. Secret societies? Oh, they’re here. And love? It’s messier than ever.

You know you’ve always wanted to know what’s inside these pages. So grab a drink, strap in, and prepare for a ride where the truth takes a backseat to pure, ridiculous drama.

Up next on… True Terror on Tap.

This is satire!

Israel Keyes was unlike any serial killer we’ve ever seen—methodical, patient, and terrifyingly precise. In Part 2 of our deep dive, we pick up where we left off: Vermont, June 2011. Keyes had just arrived, retrieving a kill kit he had buried a year earlier, and searching for his next victims. What followed was an execution of a double murder that would later become the key to understanding his nationwide crimes.

But the Curriers weren’t his only victims.

We take you step by step through Keyes’ terrifying admissions, his confession tapes, and the twisted games he played with the FBI. He revealed just enough to haunt investigators—but never enough to solve the full mystery. He talked about murders in Washington, New York, Texas, and the Midwest, but refused to name names. He hinted at bodies that would never be found. He told law enforcement, 

‘You’ll never catch me the way you want to.’

“nd in the end, he was right.

Before he could be executed by the state, Keyes made sure to execute himself. But even in death, he left one last message—an eerie suicide note and 11 blood-drawn skulls found under his prison bed, possibly a tally of his true number of victims. How many did he really kill? What secrets did he take to the grave? And how close could he have come to getting away with it forever?

Join us as we unravel the final chapter of one of America’s most terrifying predators. This is True Terror on Tap.

History isn’t just something we read about—it lingers. It listens. And sometimes… it reminds us it’s still here. In this episode of Nightmares of the Americas: Indigenous Tales, we dive into listener-submitted stories that bring us face-to-face with the unexplained.

From Mission San Luis de Apalachee in Florida, where voices from the past still echo in locked rooms and empty churches, to the shadowed roads of the Navajo Nation, where something unnatural watches and waits, these stories reveal the thin line between history and hauntings.

We thought we were just telling stories. But halfway through a story on a Navajo reservation, Joseph’s equipment completely shut down—no warning, no explanation. Maybe it was just a technical glitch. Or maybe, we were talking about something we weren’t supposed to.”

Some places don’t want to be forgotten. Some stories don’t want to be told.

In the first episode of our deep dive into the life and crimes of Israel Keyes, we trace his journey from an isolated childhood in rural Washington to his time in the U.S. Army, uncovering the early signs of a predator in the making. Raised in a strict and extremist household, Keyes developed a fascination with violence, control, and meticulous planning—skills that would later define his reign of terror. We explore his early criminal activity, his obsession with evading law enforcement, and the disturbing tactics he honed long before his first known murders. As he begins traveling the country, burying "kill kits" and perfecting his methods, Keyes moves closer to the crime that would bring him national attention. This is the origin story of one of the most calculated serial killers in modern history.
