This is a FLASHBACK to episode #224, when we investigated a creature known as the Michigan Dogman. For years, this cryptid has stalked the residents of Wexford County, Michigan. Those who have seen it describe a creature with a striking resemblance to the Beast of Bray road. Could these two cryptids be linked together? Or maybe, they're one in the same...
For over 100 years, the people of Walworth County, Wisconsin have been stalked in the night by a demonic, wolf-like creature known as the BEAST of Bray Road. Rory and Kit are a little too afraid to investigate this one alone, so joining them this week is Rhys Darby and Dan Schreiber from The Cryptid Factor!

It’s said that Beethoven’s death was like a biblical scene — he shook his fist at the heavens and a clap of thunder roared across Vienna as he left this world. His contemporary, Mahler, would become obsessed with his death because of another strange coincidence surrounding it: he died composing his tenth symphony, making Beethoven one of a long line of composers to die after completing their ninth symphony. Mahler would call this t...
In 1994, game designed Steve Jackson released a card game titled "Illuminati: New World Order", a game where players would role play as puppet-master organizations fighting for world domination. Sounds fun, right? Well things took a paranormal turn when years later, players realised that those cards from the 90's were giving away information on actual real life events… from the future.
In 1966 a Canadian tourist visiting London, Reverend Ralph Hardy, took a photo that would become notorious as one of the greatest pieces of paranormal evidence ever captured. Despite consulting photographic experts and even Kodak themselves, it has never been proven to be a hoax. On this episode of This Paranormal Life, Kit and Rory investigate the site of this event: the Tulip staircase within the Queen's House in London, try to u...
In 1966, the small town of Wanaque, New Jersey was visited by a strange light in the night sky. Locals watched in awe as it zipped around at impossible speeds and even shot a LIGHT BEAM down towards the icy ground. Witnesses were told it was simply a helicopter, but that explanation was hard to agree with when only 9 months later... it appeared again
As paranormal investigators, we DREAM of the day that we finally make contact with extraterrestrials... but what if that day has already come? In 1966, banana farmer named George Pedley saw something truly bananas. A UFO emerged from underneath the water of a lagoon and disappeared into the sky above him. The encounter only lasted a brief moment but this strange craft had left something behind - the first ever 'crop circle'.
By the 1970's, the once beautiful 'Stanley Hotel' looked like it was headed towards total demolition... That was, until one fateful night when the hotel received an unusual guest - Stephen King. King and his wife were the final two guests of the season and after what they experienced that night... it was no surprise. This was the hotel that would go on to inspire King's next book, THE SHINING
In the world of the paranormal, cryptids are terrifying enough as they are. Sasquatch. Chupacabra. The Squonk. There are more than enough scary beasts roaming the earth to keep paranormal investigators up at night. Unfortunately for them, though, there are certain creatures to be even more fearful of… enter the Batsquatch. Deep in the Pacific North West, an area already famous for Sasquatch encounters, lives a Bat/Bigfoot hybrid be...
When we think of haunted castles, we think of Transylvania, Ireland and pretty much anywhere but America... but tucked away in the small state of Rhode Island is Belcourt Castle, a huge mansion erected in 1891 and stuffed full of ancient artifacts with paranormal baggage. From haunted mirrors to electric chairs, every room of this castle has something new to investigate.
In 2017 global history was made when two, apparently pre-pubescent (judging by their voices), 25 year old investigators known as Kit and Rory deemed the Loch Ness Monster to be a real paranormal cryptid, giving it a double yes in their investigation. But there was a problem - how could Nessie be the only sea serpent in the British Isles when Kit and Rory grew up only around 200 miles away (as the crow flies) from Loch Ness? There a...
On March 16, 1967, a strange object was seen hovering above an Air Force Base in Montana. 60 seconds later, an entire fleet of nuclear missiles were knocked offline. What happened next was rollercoaster of secret investigations, government shutdowns and classified reports. But this incident wouldn't stay secret for long... after all, this wasn't the first time an object had appeared at Malmstrom Air Force Base...
Imagine you could see anything on earth from the comfort of your sofa, what would you look at? Fair enough in our modern world of Ring doorbells and drones this is slightly less strange, but for most of human history this was a God-like ability up there with transforming water into wine and remaining calm in traffic jams. Crucially during the cold war the US government began to take this paranormal ability, known as Remote Viewing,...
Saint Patrick's Day - A time to celebrate all things Ireland: the music, the culture, tayto crisps and seeing how many pints of Guinness you can drink before you go blind. But many people don't realise that Saint Patrick was more than just a saint, his life was full of bizarre and mystical paranormal events, from magical battles against druids, to raising the dead. It's time for the history lesson no one asked for - the PARANORMAL ...
Imagine one of your loved ones disappeared into thin air. Not like they jumped state but they literally physically ceased to exist. What would you do? This is exactly what happened to the family of David Lang in Sumner county in the 1800s. Thankfully, for this monster investigation Kit and Rory have a mighty third paranormal investigator joining them - Jack Wagner from the hit podcast Otherworld.
In 1963, two retired air traffic controllers were exploring a Louisiana swamp called 'Honey Island'. Despite sounding like somewhere Winnie the Pooh would live, the swamp is actually home to an array of deadly and dangerous wildlife... NONE more dangerous than the Honey Island Swamp Monster - an ancient BEAST unknown to science that's lived in the swamp for hundreds of years (or it might just be an escaped monkey convict)
Around this time of year in 1855 residents of a sleepy town in Devon woke to a strange and disturbing phenomenon - completely unrecognisable footprints were covering the town. Only they weren't just on the ground, but in impossible locations: on top of houses, over giant walls, and most alarmingly of all these tracks covered over 100 miles. With no satisfying explanation from the animal kingdom they were left no choice but to accep...
Happy Valentines Day! On this week's episode, it's time to celebrate love, and what better way to do that then to tell the story of David Huggins - the man who claims he lost his virginity to an alien...

Art has always documented human history. From 10,000 year old cave paintings to, I don't know - Banksy, visual art has depicted the world around us and its major events. In some ways it's evidence of these events, so what if it could also be evidence of the paranormal? In famous paintings from around the world there are hidden references to paranormal experiences, particularly aliens and UFOs. On this episode we peek behind the vel...
As someone who spent many of their teenage years browsing the weird and wonderful pages of Ebay, I've seen a lot of bizzare objects for sale... but NEVER have I seen an object so dangerous and cursed that it comes with an official legal warning, explaining to potential buyers that if you end up winning this painting you may get more than you bargained for...
