  • Episode 30: The Fresno Nightcrawlers & Palos Verdes Space Brains
    California is a land with many different faces. From the bright lights of Hollywood to the natural beauty of the state’s national parks, there’s something for just about everyone on planet earth. But as a few of our fellow earthlings can attest, it also seems to have an appeal to a more otherworldly type. In Fresno, a man was terrified in his own home by midnight visitors of unknown origins, while in Palos Verdes, two men would feel the repercussions of their close encounter for years to come. Has ET really visited the Golden State? Or are there more rational explanations? Tonight on Uncanny America, we go in search of the Fresno Nightcrawlers and the Palos Verdes Space Brains.Fact or Faked: Faked! by Karen Stollznow

  • Episode 29: The Beast of Bray Road
    It was a dark and stormy night, or so the story goes, when an 18-year old had a terrifying encounter as she was driving home on Bray Road. Her sighting of a fearsome creature was the first of a rash of sightings that terrified the residents of Walworth County, Wisconsin, and lay the foundations of one of the most infamous cryptids in the state that would go on to inspire both documentaries and shlock horror. Join us on Uncanny America, as we go in search of the Beast of Bray Road.

    A foul odor. A demonic cry. An eerie shadow cast by the light of the moon. For three nights in 1903, the small town of Van Meter, Iowa found itself terrorized from above by a creature out of their nightmares, or possibly from hell itself. What was it that caused several of the town’s most prominent citizens to risk their reputations and is it possibly still out there? Tonight on Uncanny America we go in search of the Van Meter Visitor.

  • Episode 25: The Nain Rouge
    Fairy tails are filled with ominous warnings being delivered by mysterious women in cloaks and veils. And almost as often, those warnings aren't heeded, much to the victim's peril.

  • Episode 24: The Gowrow
    In 1897 the image of a monstrous beast appeared in the Arkansas Gazette above a harrowing tale of a savage hunt. But the real story behind that day is more than that of a mysterious creature hidden deep within the Ozarks. Tall tales and the new style of "yellow journalism" came together to create one of the most enduring cryptids of Arkansas. Tonight on Uncanny America, we go in search of the Gowrow.

  • Episode 21: The Falkville Metal Man
    In 1973, a frantic call would be the first event in a night that would change the life of Police chief Jeff Greenhaw of the small town of Falkville, Alabama. Armed with his gun and trusty Polaroid camera, he would take four images that would ignite the imagination of ufologists for decades. Was his encounter with a strange, metallic creature another in a line of such encounters that spanned the decade? Or was it a hoax dreamed up by the mind of a bored agent of the law? Tonight on Uncanny America, we go in search of the Falkville Metal Man.
