Ep 65The Jumping Frenchmen
Episode 65: What information could be so weird that it has even our resident skeptic, Alison, questioning her skepticism? We explore the Jumping Frenchmen - could they be a possible link between Flannel Man and the Mirrored Men? Could the Jumping Frenchmen be responsible for some or all of the Flannel Man sightings?

Ep 63It Was a Witch! ... or a Sasquatch! (part one)
Episode 63: Alex and Colin tell of a strange series of events that lead to a night of terror in the woods. A strange old woman directed them to a camping area. After an exchange of fruit with something unseen, they decided to return to the area for a three-day camping trip. Weirdness followed with bad smells, odd vocalizations, and other unexplained sounds. The trip culminated with Colin, separated from Alex, experiencing an intense and frightening night in the woods. Was it bigfoot or something even stranger? How is the old woman connected?

Ep 60Belsnickel, the Christmas Wild Man
Episode 60: For our holiday episode, Timothy and Alison talk Belsnickel, the wild man of Pennsylvania Christmastime. Much fiercer and stranger than a simple proto-Santa Claus figure, Belsnickel was called a "bad faerie" and "half-man, half-beast" - which came from the forest at night to haunt children. Timothy and Alison read multiple historical accounts of the frightening Belsnickel smacking walls, peeking in windows, speaking in unknown languages, and generally behaving like a bigfoot creature. Timothy also presents an old song and a poem about Belsnickel uncovered in the research for this episode.

Ep 42Paranormal Bigfoot with Strange Brau
Episode 42: Timothy talks with Tobe Johnson from Strange Brau. Tobe relates some incredible stories of synchronicity, poltergeist-like activity, gifting, apports, and other weirdness which seems to be associated with ongoing bigfoot activity he is experiencing.

Ep 41Black Eyed Children
Episode 41: Timothy talks with David Weatherly about the phenomenon of black eyed kids (BEKs) and his book, Black Eyed Children. Strange children are approaching people across the globe. They are asking to be let in to homes, vehicles and businesses. Their awkward mannerisms, plain clothing, and pale skin suggest there is something odd about these children, but their solid black eyes inspire terror. Are they related to vampires, the Men in Black phenomenon, or alien greys? What happens when these beings are let in?

Ep 38Chasing the Elusive Pennsylvania Bigfoot
Episode 38: Timothy discusses the recently published book Chasing the Elusive Pennsylvania Bigfoot with Brian Seech. While Brian did not write the book, he has worked closely with the author, Paul G. Johnson, for many years. We cover some of the ideas and cases from the book including a few of the stranger aspects of Pennsylvania bigfoot sightings: UFOs, disappearing bigfoot creatures, and more – and the idea that some of this “spooky” activity may be explained by quantum physics. Brian also talks about some of his research with the Center for Cryptozoological Studies.

This rusty smith will be your love For all your maiden pride. Well may you dress my lady fair All in your robes of red. Before the morn at this same time I’ll gain your maidenhead. Away, away you coal blacksmith Would you do me wrong To think to gain my maidenhead That I have kept so long. I’d rather I were dead and gone And buried in my grave Than a rusty stock of coal blacksmith My maidenhead should have. The lady she held up her hand And swore upon her soul That she’d not be that blacksmith’s love For a whole chest full of gold. The blacksmith he held up up his hand And swore upon the Mass: I’ll have you in my bed lady In a half an hour or less. The lady she became a dove And flew up in the air And he became a cock pigeon And they flew pair and pair. She was woe, he held her so And still he bade her bide. This lusty smith her lover was For all her maiden pride. The lady she turned into a hare And ran across the plain And he turned into a greyhound dog And chased her down again. And she became a little mare As dark as the night was black And he became a gilt saddle And rode upon her back. She became a silken plaid And stretched upon the bed And he became a green covering And gained her maidenhead. And she became a corpse, A corpse all in the ground, And he became the cold grey clay And smothered her all around.
