Welcome to another episode of Believing the Bizarre! This week, we have two submitted stories that we will be discussing. The first is sent to us by Megan, co-host of Hidden in the Shadows Podcast.

We also touch on Liam's encounters which range from shadow figures to potentially aliens and skinwalkers. But, are all of these stories believable? Listen now!

Welcome to another episode of Believing the Bizarre. This week, we go back into the wonderful world of hauntings. In a small district of Greater London, England is Thornton Heath.

This month we discuss a major, popular topic that Tyler particularly loves very much: zombies. Of course, the pop culture, Walking Dead style of zombies and the George Romero zombies are not how they originated. Actually, Haitian voodoo is where you can trace the idea and folklore of a zombie back to. But are they real? A lot of existing parasites and illnesses tell us potentially.

This week, we finally venture back into the wonderful world of aliens. But first, let’s take a trip to the 90s! Back in 1997, thousands of folks in Arizona saw what they claimed as a huge object in the night sky - 6000 feet long - with countless lights. It blocked out the stars and was completely silent as it moved across the sky. Could this be proof of aliens? Or perhaps an unknown military ship? Listen now!

This week we tackle another Listener Submission story, coming to us from Sarah in Dover. As you can tell by the title - things are about to get pretty spooky in this hospital. Hospitals are already full of intense energy, but if you add in a few entities that like sneaking up behind you and ripping a vacuum out of your hand, things escalate pretty quickly.

In today's episode, we discuss why we shouldn’t trust pretty ladies in green dresses that appear out of nowhere offering food we have always craved. Maybe a fairy can help us find something that “went missing” but at what cost. And what is a fairy’s favorite food? Probably some natural honey or something like that?

He is known to wear rags of clothes, stand on his hind legs, and wave a magical wand that shoots fireballs. Crazy? Perhaps. A ton of fun? Absolutely. We even find a way to tie Pokemon Go into this.

Leap Castle is in Offaly county and has been around for centuries. It was even burnt down in 1922 due to tension of loyalties between Britain and Ireland. However, there are many that say ghosts, and other spirits, have deep roots in Leap Castle, like The Priest in the bloody chapel,or Emily and Charlotte who play in the main entrance, or the slaughtered Red Lady who died a tragic death.

The Not DeerIn this episode of Believing the Bizarre, we dive into the mysterious world of the "not deer" - a cryptid that's been haunting the forests of Appalachia and gaining traction on social media.These creatures appear to be ordinary deer at first glance, but upon closer inspection, something is terrifyingly off.We explore witness accounts describing deer with predatory forward-facing eyes, mismatched proportions, too many eyes, or legs that bend the wrong way. Some even report these creatures standing on two legs and maintaining unnerving eye contact with humans. The not deer has become a modern folk cryptid, with many comparing it to skinwalkers due to its uncanny valley effect and seemingly intelligent behavior.Throughout the episode, we examine possible rational explanations, including chronic wasting disease - a condition that causes deer to literally waste away while still alive - as well as rabies and mange.We share chilling firsthand encounters from Reddit users and explore the lore surrounding these creatures, including one particularly unsettling story about a massive buck that maintained eye contact while standing over an unusually large dead raccoon.Patreon: Support Believing the Bizarre and get tons of extra content by joining our Patreon.For updates, news, and extra content, follow Believing the Bizarre on social media:InstagramFacebookTwitterDiscordShop Merch: You can rep Believing the Bizarre and buy some unique merchWant to send BTB something?
