For most the Easter Bunny is a beloved childhood icon offering up sweet memories of simpler time. But, for an unlucky few, the Easter Bunny is less a cherished fantasy figure and more of a haunting reality wherein this furry, long-eared fiend has become the stuff of living nightmares.

The already weird world of High Strangeness is chock full of guano-caliber craziness, but few phenomenon compare with the outlandishness of a category or creature known as Mimics. These bizarre beings evidently have the ability to imprecisely "mimic" the appearance of both human beings and animals with results that are—according to various eyewitnesses—disturbing to say the least.

In what is indisputably one of the most horrifying paranormal encounters on the books, three Girl Scouts were playing flashlight hide-and-seek in the woods when they suddenly found themselves being stalked by a ghastly inhuman entity that seemed hellbent on tearing them limb from limb… and one of the girls has the scars to prove it.

Throughout the world terrified eyewitnesses have encountered an array of odd entities that seem to have a strange synthesis of animal and human DNA: Bat and Lizard-Men.

In 1975, a man named John Womack was cruising down a rural Alabama road never once suspecting that he—like a cosmic Alice in Wonderland—was just seconds away from hurtling down a ufological rabbit hole inhabited by silver saucers, sentient fireballs, liquid light, octo-plants and an increasingly outlandish array of enigmatic entities engaged in an epic crusade to rid the galaxy of invisible, evil spirits through the use of "anti-demon pills" The Devil's Academy: https://www.amazon.com/The-Devils-Academy/dp/B0B8528ZB6/ Research by Cole Herrold:https://newworldexplorerssociety.blogspot.com/2023/02/the-john-womack-abduction.html The Cryptonaut Podcast Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/cryptonautpodcast The Cryptonaut Podcast Merch Stores:Cryptonautmerch.com - Hellorspace.com THIS EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY LUMI LABS & MICRODOSE Free shipping & 30% off your first order. https://www.microdose.com Promo Code – HELLORSPACE Stay Connected with the Cryptonaut Podcast: Website - Twitter - Facebook - Instagram - YouTube

In the mid-1970s, a man driving through a rural region of Alabama would find himself thrust into one of the most psychedelic alien abduction episodes ever recorded: one which involved liquid light, an extraordinary ensemble of extraterrestrial entities, a conversation one might concoct while tripping balls and a celestial conflict between these alien beings and their sworn enemies—the ultimate evil in the universe—demons.

A staple of Halloween dioramas, biology classrooms and fright flicks, the human skeleton has been, since a time immemorial, a source of both fascination and fear. But as haunting as images on the silver screen or etchings in old books may be, they pale before the real-life encounters that many have reported with allegedly undead skeletal remains.

During the scorching summer of 1973, a secluded Pennsylvanian Amish community was terrorized by a mammoth, mutant monstrosity in a frightening 3-day flap that would prove to be every bit as brief as it was baffling; making it a small, but essential part of one of the strangest series of paranormal events in American history.

In the midst of what seemed to be a full-scale alien invasion, the city of Varginha became the epicenter for a pitched battle between dedicated UFO investigators seeking the truth and the military leaders doing their best to conceal it—and the cover-up that followed would prove to be every bit as bizarre as the incident itself.

Starting with a warning from NORAD regarding an incoming unidentified object on January 13th, 1996, the Brazilian city of Varginha would host what would prove to be one of the most fascinating, frightening and frenzied episodes in the history of ufology; one that involved deadly aliens, a panicked populace and an anxious army tasked with transporting the fetid fiends.

With multiple alleged alien encounters occurring throughout Varginha, January 20th, 1996 would prove to be one of the most eventful dates in Brazilian ufology, but even after the sun set the day was far from over. Arguably the most terrifying incident of that incredible 24-hour period had yet to transpire… and for one unfortunate individual the result would be nothing short of tragic.

Following the crash landing of a UFO just outside the city, citizens surrounding Varginha, Brazil began reporting sightings of bizarre, red-eyed creatures darting in and out of the forest. Before long these accounts began coming from the city proper and by the end of the day of January 20th, 1996, there would be dozens of eyewitnesses who claimed to have seen or come into direct contact with these tiny, inhuman entities… The Cryptonaut Podcast Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/cryptonautpodcast The Cryptonaut Podcast Merch Stores:Cryptonautmerch.com - Hellorspace.com Stay Connected with the Cryptonaut Podcast: Website - Twitter - Facebook - Instagram - YouTube

In the mid-1990s, the small, industrial town of Varginha, Brazil was plagued by an array of unnerving occurrences beginning with the fiery crash of a UFO and resulting in multiple sightings of small, oily, red-eyed entities whose reign of terror has to be considered one of the most significant events in South American ufology; an incident that has come to be known the world over as "Brazil's Roswell."

On Earth, the undulating, uncannily intelligent aberration of natural selection known as the octopus is relegated either to the oceans' murky depths or the controlled confines of an aquarium. In the last episode we explored an array of cases wherein human beings were forced to contend with cephalopods of a supernatural nature, but today we turn our attention to cases where these tentacled terrors seem to be less from a paranormal plane and more likely of extraterrestrial origin.

Those of us who've had horrific nightmares of floating alone in a vast, dark ocean only to feel the slippery, sinewy grasp of an unseen tentacled terror wrap around our leg before yanking us down into the briny depths have always woken up to the dubious comfort that to actually confront one of these malignant molluscs we'd have to choose to go to the sea… but for an unfortunate few, encounters with a new breed of decidedly phantasmagorical, undulating abominations can happen anytime and anywhere.

What began as a staring contest between a nurse and a pair of E.T.s just before dawn on New Year's Day, 1970, quickly blossomed into one of the most harrowing UFO flaps in North American History; one that not only involved a wide variety of alien craft, but which may hold one of the keys to the aliens' otherwise enigmatic agenda.

In days of yore parents used fairy tales to invoke images of wild-eyed monsters to keep their children away from the very real ravenous beasts that dwelt in dark corners of our world. In the 20th century, as many wild places were tamed and once apex predators were driven away in droves, belief in these bellicose beasts began to fade. But, in the summer of 1987, one unfortunate French boy would find that—despite everything he had been taught—monsters were all-too real.
