Arcanum Obscura

Hello hello hello, this week we have an Appalachian Cryptid, the Not-Deer. It's an interesting deer not-deer type creature, I find the Appalachian stories rather interesting because they tend to not be too far out there, at least the ones I've read and heard to this date. After that I (Chris) talk about a night terror I recently had, the first I've ever had, it was a short and unpleasant event.

We start off with a few cryptids and move into some small interesting philosophy theories and thought experiments. Nate has some rather... interesting cryptids this week, like the globster and the walking table.

We have a soup episode this week, which means we talk about anything and everything and jump all over the place, and for a portion we talk a little about missing white woman syndrome which came about from a docuseries I watched and I know we've talked about it before

A few episodes back we talked about the unsolved case of Jeannette DePalma who is thought to have possibly been a victim of the man we cover today, Richard Cottingham aka The Torso Killer aka The Times Square Ripper.

We love NoSleep so we're venturing back to some stories from there today, partly because our personal schedules have been so busy as of late, as well as working on our finale episode little by little and getting things in place for our new cast. We hope you enjoy these stories and we'll be back with a new episode as soon as we can.

This week we do our usual catching up with some of Nates academy stories and then he brings us this interesting story. A girl with seemingly everything, a second girl, the victim, with perfect grades and possibly a bright future. One party, one incident that changes everyone's lives around them.

Back to a little true crime, this was an odd case since there isn't much info and it stills remains unsolved today. There were plenty of rumors but not much evidence to work with, then the disappearing and reappearing case files. This case is possibly tied to a serial killer but after nearly 50 years it's still unsolved.

Due to job schedules and holidays we haven't been able to get together to record, and if your a listener you tend to know what that means. We ramble on and talk way too much to get to a story, so... that's what happened.

This week, UAP’s, this week is less about sightings and more about the gov’t acknowledging UAP’s, their definition of what constitutes a UAP and the federal site where we can go to view casefiles and conclusions investigations.

We are back, and as you know if we miss a week we tend to banter more then usual, now we've missed a month due to holidays and vacations and we did have a plan for the episode but decided we're going to ramble way too much so lets just do a soup episode. So, soup episode number three is here for your ears to devour.

This week we have some strange deaths to talk about. Nate comes with the always unusual spontaneous human combustion. Most of us have heard about the woman he talks about; images of the scene are pretty prevalent when you look into this strange phenomenon. After that, and too not get into too much detail here, I go into some hospitals in South Africa that seem to have a probably with bodies in ceilings.

We are back, the hurricane prevented recording last week but here we be. This week we are going with the idea Nate had a few weeks back, talking about strange stories that were reported by people in the military.

We've talked about skinwalkers before but this week I thought it may be interesting to dig through some subreddits and find personal encounters with skinwalkers, so we come with a few stories of different peoples experiences with possible skinwalkers. I read through several and decided on a few that felt pretty interesting.
