Dark Florida

Episode 42: The El Paso Incident, Bigfoot at Quantico, and the Abduction of Nancy Guthrie In this episode of Dark Florida, we move from the sky… to the forest… to a disappearance that lingers in quiet uncertainty.We begin in El Paso, where a strange airport incident has fueled speculation about unidentified aerial phenomena. Witness reports and unusual activity have left many questioning what was really seen above the runway. What really caused them to shut down the airspace? Sometimes the most unsettling part isn’t what’s witnessed... it’s how quickly it’s dismissed.From there, we step into the woods with a former Marine who says he encountered something massive watching him from the tree line. This wasn’t someone prone to panic or fantasy. This was someone trained to observe, assess, and survive. His account includes details that echo thousands of other reports. But what stands out is what his experience may suggest about the mysterious tree structures often attributed to Bigfoot. If these structures are intentional, they may not be random at all. They could serve as markers, territorial boundaries, warnings, or even communication tools. His encounter gives us a possible glimpse into the intelligence and purpose behind those formations and why something might be shaping the forest in deliberate ways.And finally, we explore the unsettling abduction of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of journalist Savannah Guthrie. We explore the details around the case. We discuss conflicting reports and where the investigation lies now.Connect with Dark Florida 🌴🌙If you have your own encounter or unexplained experience you’d like to share, you can reach me directly at [email protected]📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/darkfloridapodcast☕ Support the show: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/darkflorida🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/darkflorida411Thank you for stepping into the unknown with me.Stay curious and stay strange! ✨

Episode 39: The Great Airship Mystery with MK UltraIn this episode of Dark Florida, we travel back to the late 1800s to uncover one of the most fascinating and overlooked mysteries in American history: the Great Airship Mystery. Decades before airplanes, decades before Roswell, and long before the term “UFO” ever existed, people across the United States were reporting massive, silent airships gliding through the night sky. Witnesses described cigar-shaped craft, strange lights, mechanical sounds, and even humanoid occupants who appeared to be piloting these machines. Newspapers from the time documented sightings from California to the Midwest, creating what many researchers now believe may have been the first documented UFO wave in history.We dive deep into the historical accounts, examining what people saw, how these sightings unfolded over time, and why they suddenly stopped. Were these airships secret human inventions, decades ahead of their time, hidden from public knowledge? Were they misunderstood experimental technologies? Or was something far stranger happening in the skies of the 1800s?From there, we go down the rabbit hole of theories, including the idea of a breakaway civilization. A hidden group that may have developed advanced technology separate from mainstream society. We explore the possibility that elements of history were intentionally buried, altered, or forgotten, and how the airship sightings may point to a much deeper story about suppressed innovation, lost knowledge, and hidden chapters of our past.We also discuss early concepts of anti-gravity technology, how inventors of the era spoke openly about propulsion systems that defy conventional physics, and why so many of these ideas seemed to vanish just as quickly as they appeared. Is it possible that the technology we think is “modern” actually existed far earlier than we’re taught? And if so, who had access to it and why was it taken from public view?This episode blends historical research, UFO lore, speculative science, and hidden history into one forgotten mystery that challenges what we think we know about technological progress and humanity’s relationship with the skies. Whether these airships were the ancestors of modern UFO sightings or evidence of something even more elusive, one thing is clear: this story was never meant to be forgotten.🎙️ Dark Florida is hosted by Brooke Moreland and explores eerie true crime, cryptids, paranormal encounters, UFOs, hidden history, and strange news from Florida and beyond.✨Connect with Dark Florida:Instagram: instagram.com/darkfloridapodcastYouTube: youtube.com/@darkflorida411Support the show: buymeacoffee.com/darkfloridaTo share your story or inquire about being a guest, email [email protected]✨ MK Ultra Links:MK's First Dark Florida Appearance: https://rss.com/podcasts/dark-florida/2175591/Mk's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@StrangeBackcountrywithMKultra

Episode 38: Kubrick's Hidden Messages with Sean McCann of Wake the DeadIn this episode of Dark Florida, we dive deep into the mysterious and unsettling world of Stanley Kubrick through the lens of Sean McCann of Wake the Dead. Sean shares his theory of the Fidelio experiment, exploring the idea that Kubrick’s films overlay with themselves, creating layers of hidden meaning that connect his entire body of work. From The Shining to Eyes Wide Shut and beyond, we uncover the subtle threads linking his films, the patterns that most viewers miss, and the powerful symbolism embedded in every frame.Sean walks us through the connections between Kubrick’s work and the hidden structures of trauma, power, and control, revealing how these themes repeat and echo across his films. We examine the psychological weight of The Shining, the ritualistic undertones of Eyes Wide Shut, and how seemingly unrelated films can carry overlapping messages about identity, observation, and perception. For anyone curious about the deeper layers of Kubrick’s work, or the ways film can communicate hidden truths, this conversation is both unsettling and illuminating.Connect with Dark Florida 🔗🌴Instagram @darkfloridapodcastYouTube: youtube.com/@darkflorida411,Email: [email protected] the show: buymeacoffee.com/darkflorida.Sean McCann can be found here: https://onegreatworknetwork.com/sean-mccannJoin us as we explore the patterns, the mysteries, and the stories Kubrick may have left behind, and get ready to look at his films in a way you never have before.

Episode 37: The FBI Bigfoot File: What Do They Really Know? With Marian Gant For more than forty years, the FBI quietly held onto a Bigfoot case file that most people never knew existed. A slim, 22-page document created in the 1970s, involving a suspected hair sample and one of the most respected Bigfoot researchers of the era, sat sealed away in government archives until it suddenly resurfaced in 2019. In this episode of Dark Florida, host Brooke Moreland opens the official FBI Bigfoot file and looks beyond the surface-level conclusion to ask the questions that actually matter. Why did the FBI agree to analyze Bigfoot evidence at all? Why preserve the case for decades if it was insignificant? And why release it during the same period the U.S. government began publicly acknowledging UFOs and UAPs?Brooke is joined by seasoned field researcher Marian Gant to discuss the role of investigator Peter Byrne, the controversy surrounding the FBI’s “deer hair” conclusion, and whether a researcher of Byrne’s caliber would have submitted such a mundane sample. Together, they explore the idea that this file feels less like a closed case and more like an X-File. Carefully trimmed, selectively released, and possibly only a fragment of a much larger story.The conversation also dives into long-standing claims of government monitoring within Bigfoot research, including reports of Men in Black encounters, unmarked helicopters appearing near research sites, and evidence allegedly being removed from the field. While none of these claims can be easily proven, their persistence across decades raises an unsettling question: is Bigfoot research still being quietly watched?This episode isn’t about definitively proving what Bigfoot is. It’s about secrecy, timing, and patterns. And what it means when the government briefly pulls back the curtain, only to leave us with more questions than answers.Stay Connected with Dark Florida ✨If you’ve had a strange encounter, a sighting, or an experience you can’t explain, or if you’d like to be a guest on the show, you can reach out anytime at [email protected]📸Instagram: @darkfloridapodcast🎬YouTube: youtube.com/@darkflorida411,☕Support the podcast at buymeacoffee.com/darkflorida.Listen with the lights low and your mind open...

🌙 EPISODE 36: They Only Come Out at Night - Sleep Paralysis & Spiritual Warfare with Vicki Joy AndersonIn this episode of Dark Florida, we journey into the unsettling world of sleep paralysis and the unseen forces that move in the dark. I sit down with author and researcher Vicki Joy Anderson, whose book They Only Come Out at Night has become one of the most talked-about explorations into nocturnal attacks, spiritual vulnerability, and the thin line between nightmares and true encounters.Our conversation dives deep into the nature of sleep paralysis and the entities many people claim to see during these episodes. Shadow figures, beings on the chest, presences that feel intentional rather than imagined. Vicki explains how to discern the difference between an ordinary dream state and a genuine demonic night terror.We explore the darker side of spiritual warfare, the psychological and spiritual mechanisms behind nighttime attacks, and why certain people seem to be more targeted than others. Vicki breaks down the crucial distinctions between an exorcism and a deliverance, explaining why these two practices are not interchangeable and how each serves a different purpose in confronting spiritual oppression.Throughout the conversation, we discuss warning signs, vulnerabilities, generational patterns, and the types of doorways. Emotional, spiritual, and environmental. That can allow unwanted encounters to begin. Vicki shares insight into how individuals can protect themselves, how to close these doorways, and what to do if someone feels they are experiencing targeted nighttime visits.This episode is for anyone who has questioned what truly happens in the borderland between sleeping and waking, or who senses that there may be more to the shadows than the mind alone can explain. Vicki brings clarity to a topic that is often dismissed, misunderstood, or minimized, and she offers grounded, compassionate guidance for listeners who may be facing these experiences themselves.👤 Guest: Vicki Joy Anderson Book: They Only Come Out at NightVicki's Website: https://www.vickijoyanderson.com/Vicki's Book "They Only Come Out At Night": https://lamarzulli.net/product/they-only-come-out-at-night/ 🌑 Connect With Dark FloridaIf you enjoy the show, want to share your own story, or would like to be a guest, you can reach me here:📸 Instagram: instagram.com/darkfloridapodcast 📧 Email: [email protected] ☕ Support the show: buymeacoffee.com/darkflorida 🎥 YouTube: youtube.com/@darkflorida411🖤 Want to be on the show?If you’ve encountered something strange, spiritual, paranormal, extraterrestrial, cryptid, or unexplained....

Episode 35: The Hidden People of Iceland - Huldufólk, the Supernatural, and the Hidden Realms with JonIn this week’s episode of Dark Florida, we journey far beyond the cypress swamps and into the stark, enchanted landscape of Iceland. A place where ancient stories linger in the wind and the unseen still walks beside us. 🌋🌫️My guest, Jon from the 21CD podcast, takes us back to the moment that forever altered his understanding of reality: his encounter with Iceland’s Hidden People at the infamous Killing Poles. What he witnessed wasn’t a flicker in the corner of his eye or a tale handed down through folklore. It was real, undeniable, and deeply transformative.As Jon recounts this experience, we explore the deeper meaning behind these elusive beings and the role they may play in the greater supernatural world. Our conversation weaves through the surprising parallels between Icelandic elves, the Fae, and the Algonquin lore, and into the idea that these legends may be describing the same interdimensional forces through different cultural lenses. 🧚🏼‍♀️✨What begins as a story rooted in Icelandic folklore quickly expands into a much wider discussion. One that touches on government cover ups, hidden realms, ancient beings, and the threads that connect supernatural traditions across continents. 🗻This episode isn’t just about what Jon saw that day. It’s about how encounters like his change us, calling into question what we believe about our world. And what we’re taught to dismiss, and what may be watching us from the places where myth and reality overlap…🔗 Follow Jon & His WorkYouTube: https://youtube.com/@21cdpodcast?si=4H1FkVNdrsUPAfIe🔗 Dark Florida LinksInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/darkfloridapodcastYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@darkflorida41Email: [email protected] the show: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/darkflorida

🎙️Episode 33: Seam in the Dream: Demons, UFOs, and the Paranormal with Nathaniel GillisIn this chilling and thought-provoking episode of Dark Florida, host Brooke Moreland welcomes Nathaniel Gillis, a respected researcher, demonologist, and author whose work explores the haunting overlap between demonology, UFO encounters, and the paranormal.Gillis proposes that what humanity has come to call “the Phenomenon." Whether alien abduction, shadow entities, or spiritual possession. That it may in fact be the same ancient intelligence manifesting under different masks throughout history. Are we being deceived by something far older and far more cunning than we realize? Is the “alien” presence in our skies really a spiritual or metaphysical force wearing a new disguise for the modern age?Together, Brooke and Nathaniel dive deep into questions that blur the lines between faith, fear, and reality: the true nature of possession, the manipulation of consciousness through dreams, and the role of deception in extraterrestrial contact experiences. From whispers of demonic mimicry to encounters that defy explanation, this conversation peels back the veil on what might be hiding behind the phenomenon itself. A protointelligence that has shaped our myths, our fears, and perhaps even our evolution.Tune in as they explore the unsettling possibility that the Phenomenon is not what it seems and that it has always been with us, lurking in the spaces between our understanding and our nightmares.💀👁️ Expect a deep, intelligent conversation that ties together theology, ufology, and the supernatural.

31: The Mysterious Death of Ellen Greenberg - What Happened in Apartment 603?

The mysterious death of Ellen Rae Greenberg.Ellen was a beloved 27-year-old schoolteacher living in Philadelphia, newly engaged, planning her wedding, and adored by her students, family, and friends. But in January 2011, she was found dead in her apartment with twenty stab wounds, including several to the back of her neck. And yet, her death was ruled a suicide.From the moment first responders arrived at the scene, questions began to surface. Why were key witnesses never interviewed? Why was a search warrant issued after people had already entered the apartment and removed evidence? And why did the medical examiner change the ruling from homicide to suicide after meeting with police and the district attorney’s office?Over the years, Ellen’s parents, Josh and Sandee Greenberg, have fought tirelessly to uncover the truth. Their heartbreaking pursuit of justice has exposed troubling inconsistencies, shifting narratives, and questionable handling of evidence. Despite the mounting forensic doubts and expert testimony, the official cause of death was once again reaffirmed as suicide in 2025. Reigniting public outrage and renewing calls for transparency and accountability.In this episode, Brooke unpacks the timeline, the crime scene, and the ever-growing list of unanswered questions surrounding Ellen’s death.

30: The Crystal Beach Killing - Madman with M.F. Gross🕯️ 1949 – Crystal Beach, Florida. A peaceful town. A brutal crime. A story too shocking to be fiction.This week on Dark Florida, I sit down with author M.F. Gross to dive deep into his new book Madman, a chilling true account of one of Florida’s most shocking and forgotten crimes.At the center of this story is John Calvin “Rastus” Russell. A drifter with a troubled past, a string of arrests, and demons that followed him everywhere. When Russell brutally murdered Norman Y. Browne and viciously attacked his wife in their seaside home, the crime shattered the tranquility of Crystal Beach and left the community reeling. Fear turned neighbors into vigilantes, and what followed was nothing short of chaos: a frantic manhunt, shocking revelations about the victims and their hidden pasts, and a string of twists that could rival the darkest crime fiction.But this case didn’t end with Russell’s arrest. Secrets emerged about the Browne's, entangling the story in layers of betrayal, scandal, and questions that lingered long after the crime scene was cleared. When Russell escaped custody, the entire state was on edge. With a hurricane bearing down and law enforcement in pursuit, the chase for a madman became one of the most dramatic manhunts in Florida history.Together, M.F. Gross and I explore the crime, the trial, the escape, and the broader social forces at play in 1940s Florida. From organized crime to the inner workings of Chattahoochee State Hospital. This case, nearly lost to time, is a haunting reminder of how violence, secrecy, and desperation can change a community forever.If you’re drawn to true crime that reads like a gothic thriller, this episode will transport you back to post-war Florida and into the shadows of a town forever marked by one man’s brutality.🔗 Connect with M.F.

🎙️ Episode 29: In the Shadow of Big Red Eye: Bigfoot with Mike FamilantThe Florida woods hold secrets, and tonight we’re venturing straight into them. On this episode of Dark Florida, I, Brooke Moreland, sit down with full-time Bigfoot researcher and investigator Mike Familant.Mike’s story begins right here in the Sunshine State, where a strange encounter in 2011 changed the course of his life forever. Since then, he has dedicated himself to uncovering the truth about Bigfoot through countless expeditions, late-night investigations, and hours of analyzing mysterious evidence. He’s the producer and lead investigator behind the long-running docuseries In the Shadow of Big Red Eye, which documents his raw, unscripted adventures into Bigfoot territory. He’s also the creator of Squatchables, a series that helps new researchers learn how to take their very first steps into the field.In this conversation, Mike shares his journey from that first eerie encounter in Florida to years of chasing Bigfoot across the Eastern United States. We talk about what it’s like to live the life of a squatcher—what really goes on during a night in the field, and the moments that have left him convinced that Bigfoot is out there. He also opens up about the challenges of being both a researcher and a storyteller, balancing skepticism with passion, and what it takes to keep going after more than a decade of searching.

That early connection to the other side laid the foundation for a life deeply intertwined with the supernatural.Our conversation travels through the shadowy woods of the Everglades and the Ocala National Forest, where Natalie had class B Bigfoot encounters that left lasting impressions. But Bigfoot is just the beginning. We also talk about her spine-tingling experience with the Hat Man—a dark figure known in paranormal lore for making terrifying appearances during sleep paralysis episodes—and mysterious orbs that have followed her along the way.Natalie opens up about her involvement with Relic Films and their upcoming documentary The Vanished, a project that aims to shine a light on the people and mysteries the world tries to forget. Her work and experiences are not only powerful, but deeply inspiring—especially for women navigating the world of fringe research.To wrap things up, we talk about what it means to step out of your comfort zone and follow your calling, no matter how strange or wild it may seem. Natalie leaves us with a message of encouragement and strength: you can do anything you put your mind to—and sometimes, walking into the unknown is exactly where you’re meant to be.💬 Ready to believe?

🎧 Episode 24: Watched in the Wild: Bigfoot in the Rockies👣 with special guest RachelIn this episode of Dark Florida, I’m joined by the brilliant and bold Rachel. A triple science major with an academic background in biology, genetics, microbiology, and geology. Whose lifelong curiosity about the natural world led her straight into the heart of high strangeness.We dive deep into her chilling Bigfoot sighting in the Colorado Rockies back in 2001, where she felt an undeniable presence... something watching, something waiting. Could Bigfoot have been playing a game with her that day in the mountains? We unpack that moment and how it shifted her understanding of the world.But that was just the beginning. Rachel opens up about a new sighting, this time, involving her young son at Lithia Springs. And the eerie connection it shares with a Missing 411 case that happened in the same area 60 years earlier. We talk about what it means to be a "marked person" after these types of encounters, and whether belief itself makes you more open to the phenomenon… or if the phenomenon finds you.We explore the science behind the folklore. From the truth hidden in old stories to the hard questions about DNA. What would it take for Bigfoot to be accepted by the scientific community? Why do so many alleged Bigfoot DNA samples only show mitochondrial DNA? Rachel shares her insights and theories with clarity, skepticism, and an open mind.And just when you think it can’t get weirder, we head to a haunted hotel in New Orleans where Rachel had a terrifying, visceral encounter she still can't explain.This episode is a wild mix of science, mystery, folklore, and fear. And it might just leave you wondering what’s really out there, lurking just beyond the trees.🎙️LISTEN NOW🕸️ Stay connected and support the show:📸 Instagram: https://instagram.com/darkfloridapodcast📧 Email: [email protected]☕ Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/darkflorida▶️ YouTube: https://youtube.com/@darkflorida411Keep watching the woods… 🌲👁️

EPISODE 23: Ghosts, Graveyards, Cryptids & Bigfoot Conspiracies with Jason Tapp of Spooky Charlotte 👻In this episode of Dark Florida, I sit down with Jason Tapp, the man behind Spooky Charlotte. To explore the eerie intersections of haunted history, conservation, and cryptid folklore.Jason shares his work restoring old cemeteries and preserving forgotten pieces of Charlotte’s past, but the conversation quickly takes a turn into the paranormal. He makes some bold claims about the infamous Patterson-Gimlin footage. The legendary Bigfoot video filmed at Bluff Creek. According to Jason, the whole event may have been staged… and he believes the Bigfoot costume was created by none other than Charlotte’s own showman, Phillip Morris. Even more chilling? He says he got that information directly from Phillip Morris’s ghost. 👀We also dive into the legend of Normie, the creature said to haunt the waters of Lake Norman. With a serpent-like body and the head of a horse, this cryptid may have ties to the Catawba tribe and the region’s deeper spiritual history. 🐉And if that wasn’t enough, we also talk about a terrifying shapeshifter lurking in the shadows of Charlotte—a hybrid creature with the body of a panther and the wings and head of an owl. 🦉Ghosts, conspiracies, cryptids, and forgotten graves—we cover it all in this one.Follow Dark Florida for more strange stories and haunted encounters:📸 Instagram: instagram.com/darkfloridapodcast📧 Got a story or want to be a guest?

21: Strange News Roundup - Bigfoot, UFO's, Deception, and Antarctica Welcome back to another episode of Dark Florida but today, we’re taking things beyond the borders of the Sunshine State and diving into some truly bizarre and fascinating strange news from across the globe 🌍✨ This episode is absolutely packed, so get cozy, grab your favorite spooky beverage, and settle in.First up, we’re heading north to Michigan, where a brand-new Bigfoot sighting has made waves in the cryptid community 👣🌲 This isn’t your typical blurry photo or vague rumor, this one comes from a credible witness with details that are hard to ignore. Could this be the real deal? Is Bigfoot on the move? You know I couldn’t resist breaking it down and digging into the facts.Then we’re shifting gears into full-on conspiracy mode, because some serious accusations are swirling around the Pentagon and their use of UFOs as a decades-long distraction tactic 🛸🕵️‍♀️ What have they been hiding? And why now are we seeing more leaks, more whistleblowers, and more attention on what’s flying in our skies?Speaking of strange things in the sky, I’ll also be talking about a newly leaked video of a disc-shaped UFO that’s unlike anything we've seen before. This thing is sleek, eerie, and surrounded by a swirl of questions. Is it alien? Is it tech we’re not supposed to know about? Or something even stranger?And just when you think we’ve reached peak weirdness, we head south, way south, to Antarctica, where scientists are picking up mysterious electromagnetic pulses deep beneath the ice 🧊📡 Some are calling it natural. Others? Not so much.

This isn’t just a guest appearance... it’s a true swapcast, where two worlds of weird collide.We kick things off with my own personal encounters with Bigfoot, diving into the experiences that pushed me deeper into field research and the unexplained. But this isn’t just a retelling of sightings... We get into the why and what ifs. What is Bigfoot, really? Is it a flesh-and-blood creature hiding in remote wilderness or something much more? We explore the possibilities of interdimensional beings, ancient guardians, and the way energy might be playing a role in these phenomena.From there, the conversation takes a turn into even darker territory. We talk about cursed towns. And that leads us into the idea of generational curses. Not just folklore, but energy, patterns, and things that are passed down through bloodlines. Have you ever felt haunted by something that wasn’t yours? This is that kind of episode.We also touch on the paranormal, sharing stories that hint at something far beyond what our five senses can explain.

It’s raw, real, and full of the exact kind of eerie, soul-deep storytelling that Dark Florida listeners love.

We’ll delve into Ed’s obsession with ancient Egypt, his theories about magnetic forces, leylines, and the possibility of hidden Earth energy at play. Could he have uncovered secrets lost to time, or is there another explanation waiting to be uncovered?💌 Have a strange story, theory, or want to be on the show? I'd love to hear from you!
