California is known for its cities, beaches, mountains, redwood forests, and vast desert landscapes—but beyond the familiar scenery is a long history of unexplained encounters.
In this Phantoms & Monsters Radio presentation, Lon Strickler examines disturbing reports from throughout the Golden State, including a massive creature terrorizing a Northern California logging camp, mysterious staircases appearing deep inside the forest, a missing child recovered after living with an eyeless “Fuzzy Man,” and a monkey that inexplicably fell from the sky over Colma.
The presentation also includes a grotesque floating entity inside Santa Monica’s historic Georgian Hotel, a witness who believed she was involved with a shapeshifting extraterrestrial biological entity, and a married couple’s terrifying encounter with a massive winged creature in De Luz.
The investigation concludes in the deserts of Southern California, where decades of Yucca Man reports describe enormous hair-covered creatures, humanlike faces, eighteen-inch footprints, tremendous physical strength, and possible encounters near Twentynine Palms, Joshua Tree, Desert Hot Springs, Hemet, Lucerne Valley, and Yucca Valley.
Are these unknown primates, paranormal entities, extraterrestrial beings, interdimensional visitors, or something even stranger?
Listen to the reports and decide for yourself.
