Ep 429#429: E.S.M.B. Listener Stories Part 42: The Obelisk and Area X

E

A quiet drive home ends with dead lights, screaming static, and a chunk of missing time. At Area X, UAPs dart across the sky, the forest throws rocks back, voices echo yours, and a black shape steps from the shadows.

Ep 428#428: The Lacerta Files Part 4: End Game

E

After shattering a once-pragmatic journalist's grip on reality with a mind-bending tour through good and evil, magic and consciousness, UAPs, psychic powers, soul extraction, and the confounding five-tiered architecture of reality, the saurian siren changed course. Leaving the metaphysical maelstrom behind, Lacerta turned to the nuts and bolts of ufology; legendary crashes, controversial UFO photographs, and the shadowy agenda of the Greys… and at last, the curtain lifts on the elusive figure who made these encounters possible: the mysterious facilitator known only as E.F.

Ep 427#427: The Lacerta Files Part 3: Reality Unraveled

E

Though he couldn't tell whether it was a government agency or some shadow-drenched cabal, journalist Ole K. became certain of one thing: he was being watched. After a string of nerve-shredding, too-close encounters with whoever, or whatever, was tailing him, Ole managed to secure a second meeting with Lacerta. This time, the enigmatic saurian didn't just dip into ancient history. She dove headfirst into the nature of souls, psychic phenomena, the principles behind what we call magic… and, casually, the underlying framework of reality itself.

Ep 426#426: The Lacerta Files Part 2: Hidden History & Secret Wars

E

Questions and answers flew fast and furious between the once skeptical reporter and the exotic entity sitting across from him. With each new exchange, they forged a deeper understanding of our species shared history, but—fascinating though the ties that bound us may have been—it would be the revelation of the existence of a group of "others" that filled the room with dread. The reason why? These others were ancient, insidious, and brought with them the unmistakable threat of a reality bending, world shattering, extinction-level event… And what was worse? They're already here.

Ep 425#425: The Lacerta Files Part 1: Meeting The Neighbors

E

In 1999, a Swedish journalist and UFO debunker prepared for the strangest interview of his career. In an empty room, he watched as the door opened and a strikingly beautiful woman entered. She told him that she was there to reveal the truth of humanity's origins and our place in the cosmic hierarchy. The reporter had spoken with others making similarly outlandish claims but the key difference here was that the stunning woman now sitting across from him was poised, confident and anything but human.

Ep 424#424: Zhiguli Ice Tombs: Russia's Frozen Horror

E

In the 1930s, a horrific cave in nearly took the life of a Soviet prisoner. Having barely survived the ordeal, little could this man have imagined that destiny would lead him into an icy mausoleum filled frozen nightmares before sending him on a collision course with one of paranormal lore's darkest of denizens.

E

Whether surrounding a small town or a major metropolis, the back roads of our world are filled with intriguing sights and bucolic backdrops, but for an unlucky few, this potentially pastoral paradise can be a gateway to… high strangeness.

Ep 420#420: The Lizard Queen: Mistress Of Copper Mountain

E

For some the intersection between folklore and real world is cut and dry; one is fact, the other fantasy. But those who've peered through the cracks in consensus reality know the truth; our world exists at a crossroads between the seen and unseen; the known and the unfathomable; and that, when we least expect it, these realities can come crashing together in ways that shatter our perceptions… and for one Russian miner an encounter with a beautiful, in-humanoid would offer this mere mortal a glimpse into a world beyond imagination.

Ep 419#419: Hellzapoppin: The Devils Of Bracken County

E

There are places where trauma—both physical and metaphysical—festers like a cancer; corrupting the soil, sinking into the dark earth with tendrils born of violence and fear; venomous, black roots that sink so deeply into the land that time itself seems unwilling to move on. Bracken County, Kentucky is one such place. A nexus where the history is rich, the land is bloody, and—if witnesses are to be believed—the Devil himself once took a midnight stroll.

E

Beginning in the late 1960s, an array of French kids began having bizarre run-ins with a bevy of diminutive, pot-bellied, elf-like entities that left investigators wondering if this might not be the opening of a new era of high strangeness.

Ep 416#416: The Kinnula Humanoids: Scourge Of Finland

E

In what has to be one of the most intriguing, confounding, and flat-out jaw-dropping flaps in the annals of ufology, a roughly 300-day stretch in 1970 and '71 plunged Finland into an unprecedented wave of high strangeness. Citizens across the country were left stunned by the sudden emergence of tiny, space-suit-clad beings—entities that seemed to hail from a reality heavier, slower, and infinitely stranger than our own… creatures who proved more than capable of harming anyone foolish enough to try to capture one.

Ep 414#414: Ultra-Cryptids: Reality-Shattering Tales From The W.T.F. Files

E

For those who find themselves slipping into the untethered realms of high strangeness, the only thing weirder than a run-in with an anomalous animal: is a confrontation with an un fathom able "thing" that not only defies classification but is in possession of powers beyond comprehension. These curious critters range from the merely odd to the utterly insane, but one thing is absolutely certain… once you've see one, your world will be never be the same again.

E

In 1949, a man driving along the Pan American Highway en route to Lima, Peru, caught sight of a large, glinting object hovering over the desert floor. Though he could have little expected it, this chance encounter would send him careening into the world of high strangeness and make him the focus of one of the most bizarre cases in the whole of ufology.

Ep 411#411: The Glamis Abomination

E

For centuries an aristocratic Scottish family were said to hide a terrible secret; one that gave rise to rumors of a quasi-humanoid creature kept hidden from the world within the crumbling stone walls of the highland castle they called home; a diabolical descendant who's appearance—thanks to a witch's odious spell—was so distressing; so damnably revolting that it was dubbed the "Monster of Glamis".

E

In what has to be one of the strangest sagas in paranormal lore, a star-crossed British family endured a maelstrom of moist mayhem when, in 1933, they became the victims of what was referred to as a "water ghost" but which modern supernatural scholars have re-branded a "hydro-geist". This wet wraith's reign of terror lasted for 6-months and left both paranormal historians and the soaked survivors perplexed as to why it had chosen to attack them The Cryptonaut Hotline:315-370-6853 The Cryptonaut Podcast Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/cryptonautpodcast The Cryptonaut Podcast Merch Stores:Hellorspace.com - Cryptonautmerch.com Stay Connected with the Cryptonaut Podcast: Website - Instagram - TikTok - YouTube- Twitter - Facebook

E

Across time, space and the infinite bandwidth of consciousness itself, individuals from all walks of life are clashing with a nefarious breed of etheric arthropods that feed not on flesh and blood but psychic energy; leaving their victims a hollow shell of their former selves and exposing a thus far hidden—and for many horrific—realm of reality.

Ep 407#407: Arachnid Anarchy Part 3: War Spiders

E

Anyone who's served in a time of armed conflict knows that few things can compare to the chaos, confusion and constant fear of war. The stress that puts on a human being is tremendous and, for many, debilitating. But, for an even unluckier few, these already anxiety inducing situations were made all the worse by the addition of aggressive eight-legged atrocities who were as eager to kill as their enemies at the front.

E

For many the sight of a spider of any size is enough to trigger an anxiety attack, but—lurking in some of the most remote pockets of the world (and sometimes far too close to home)—are an array of enigmatic arthropods; massive monstrosities so aggressive, so utterly terrifying that they'd make even the most ardent spider lover's blood run cold.

E

In the 1990's, a military doctor found himself serving in one of the most remote outposts on Earth: McMurdo Station, Antarctica. It would be during his 11-month stint that the doctor's worldview would be shattered by a stupefying series of disclosures involving colossal kaiju, international intrigue, mad science, black budget genetic atrocities, archaic abominations and—as if it could get any worse—an army of mutated man-spiders with a taste for human flesh; all of which confirmed that the world's superpowers were not only aware of the malevolent monstrosities roaming the White Continent, but that they were, in fact, doing their best to weaponize them.

To some, Antarctica is a pristine, windswept landscape filled with austere beauty.

In most children, the dread of bedtime stems from equal combination of FOMO and a fear of the dark. But for some kids, and even a few you adults, that fear is founded on all too real experiences with anomalous and sometimes highly aggressive entities that's prove—beyond the shadow of a doubt—that humankind's millennia long fear of the dark is not unfounded.

E

Of all the bizarre claims made about the arid patch of government owned Nevada desert known as Area-51, among the strangest—and most disturbing—has got to be the alleged escape of a highly predatorial, non-human prisoner and its horrifying encounter with an unsuspecting family who had the bad luck of running into this vile vermin while camping in the high desert.

Ep 388#388: Holy Death: Curse Of The Chihuahua Man Bat

E

In 2009 a spate of sightings involving a massive, multi-winged monstrosity held Mexico's municipality of Guerrero in a thrall of fear. While some believed this thing was a denizen of hell; others were just as sure it was a divine apparition. But from wherever it hailed, all who stared into it's burning red-eyes and lived to tell the tale knew that this bizarre being was the embodiment of total terror… and what's worse, it might not have been alone.
