Bigfoot needs a perfect hiding place, right? Adirondack Park covers an area of over 9,000 square miles and contains 2,800 lakes, 30,000 miles of rivers and streams, and has 46 "high peaks" - mountains that exceed 4,000 feet. Perfect habitat for a large, bipedal cryptid that wants to remain undiscovered. This week I'll be looking at some strange encounters in the forever wild wilderness of New York, including a witness who had two f...

Sparta, New Jersey is home to one of the coolest UFO sightings you've probably never heard of. And while Sussex County has its fair share of Bigfoot sightings, Hoppie the Lake Hopatcong Monster, and hosts my favorite Renaissance Fair, there's a lot of strange things being seen over the skies of this beautiful part of the Garden State. Strange UFOs over New Jersey and a visit to the Sparta Renaissance Faire, all coming up, right now...

Last week's discussion about the Syracuse Figure photos sparked a lot of debate. Some people thought it was Bigfoot or some other cryptid, some thought it was just a man going for a swim, but others commented on how alien it appeared to be. So naturally, that got me looking into UFO sightings in Central New York. And there are plenty to be found. Are UFOs dropping off weird-looking occupants in the Central New York area? Listen to ...

Everyone loves a good Bigfoot photograph, right? Problem is, most Bigfoot photos are anything but good. They are usually dark, blurry, and too out-of-focus to actually see what they really are. But just a few weeks ago, a woman in Onondaga County, NY, took a photo of a very bizarre humanoid. It clearly looks like "something"...but is it Bigfoot? I'll analyze that photo in this episode, plus I'll be taking a look at some more Bigfoo...

Most people would be lucky to experience a single Bigfoot sighting in their lifetime. But can you imagine having two Bigfoot sightings, years apart, in the same general area? Well, that's exactly what happened to a Michigan man in Manistee County. Plus I'll be examining stories of strange, grayish Bigfoot creatures seen in the county, and you'll hear the story of one resident who had an encounter in Wellston - and he took a picture...

You may be asking yourself...didn't we just have a Bucks County UFO episode? And the answer would be yes. However, I got some of the information wrong. Turns out there was another Warminster UFO flap in the 1960s - but over in England. So this week, I'm correcting the information from the original Bucks County UFO episode, and talking about the actual Pennsylvania UFO flap in Bucks County from the 1960s. Plus I'll be discussing som...

Connecticut is a well-known hotbed for Bigfoot encounters. And just last month, a story out of New London County made headlines when a witness claimed he saw an enormous, eight-foot-tall creature crossing a road near the Pachaug River in the early morning hours.

So this week, I'm taking a closer look at exactly what this driver says he saw while making his way home to Rhode Island—and I'll also explore some of the other strang...

Urban legends are woven into the fabric of our culture. From eerie stories recounted around campfires, to the tales that inspired some of our most iconic horror films, these cautionary tales have become deeply embedded in our collective imagination. While many were originally created by adults hoping to keep children safe from real-world dangers, others have taken on lives of their own—and in some cases, the line between myth...

After last week's Bucks County Bigfoot episode, viewers took to the comments to mention UFO sightings in the area, and to share their onw UFO stories. Bucks County is home to one of the most famous UFO flaps in history, the Warminster Sightings. But people all over the county have reported seeing strange lights and objects in the skies for years. This week I'll be looking at some of the stranger sightings in Bucks County, including...

Pennsylvania has played an important part in America's History. And Bucks County hosted one of the most famous moments of our country's founding, Washington crossing the Delaware in December 1776. But there's a history of high strangeness in Bucks County, too, including ghost stories, haunted houses, UFO sightings, and of course, Bigfoot sightings. This week I'm looking at some of the ape-like creatures residents have been seeing t...

When you mention cryptids and strange phenomena in West Virginia, people usually think of Mothman, UFO sightings, encounters with Indrid Cold and the Men in Black, and other legends from Appalachia.

So stay tuned for road crossings, weird animals standing up and running off on two legs, and a med...

Summer is here, and for many people, that means summer camp! And if John is back on the show, that means we're discussing summer camp horror movies!

But we also take a look at a few hidden gems of the genre, discuss the urban legends of the maniac in the woods...

Wood Devils. That's what people in New Hampshire call their version of Bigfoot. Known to be lankier and more gaunt in appearance than their other Bigfoot brethren, they tend to be very shy, hiding behind trees or standing perfectly still so as not to be spotted by people. But the residents of New Hampshire spot them often, and this week I'll be looking at some truly spooky Wood Devil sightings, including one Granite State Sasquatch...

Coney Island was once home to some of the most famous amusement parks in the world. Still thriving today, the mere mention of it conjures up images of the Cyclone roller coaster, hot dogs at Nathan's, ice cream cones on the boardwalk, the parachute jump, summer days at the beach, and the New York Aquarium. But there is a dark side to Brooklyn's boardwalk. Its history is steeped in tragic fires, horrific accidents, criminal enterpri...

Alaska is often referred to as the last frontier. With its vast stretches of unmapped and unexplored wilderness and abundant food and water sources, it's the perfect habitat for Bigfoot. Indigenous folklore from Alaska has stories going back centuries telling of local man-beasts and forest people. This week I'll be looking at some startling Sasquatch sightings in Fairbanks, Alaska, including daytime road crossings, encounters with ...

The Great Smokey Mountains of North Carolina have a long tradition of eerie folklore, including ghost towns, haunted locations, strange paranormal phenomena, and of course, Bigfoot sightings.

A woman and her husband spot Bigfoot on a road along the Little Tennessee River; vacationers...

Gettysburg is practically synonymous with ghost stories and haunted locations. There are even reported Bigfoot sightings in the area.

This week's stories include encounters with two very unusual and atypical UFOs, strange lights in the sky maneuvering oddly, and ghost hunters seeing an object th...

Vermont is home to all sorts of bizarre cryptids, and most famously to Champ, the Lake Champlain monster. But like its New England sister states, it has its fair share of Bigfoot sightings as well. So this week I'm looking at Chittenden and Lamoille counties in northern Vermont. Stories include: a family driving at night near Colchester spotting a white Sasquatch in the snow; a retired nurse in Eden sees a Bigfoot walking on her pr...

Last weekend, I was back in one of my favorite places, Bantam Lake, in Litchfield, Connecticut. We were there to go to Robin Hood's Medieval Faire in Harwinton, and to camp at Point Folly. But anytime I'm in Bantam, my thoughts always turn to UFO sightings in the area, and the infamous UFO crash at Bantam Lake in 2012. I've discussed my own strange sightings there in previous episodes, but this week I'm looking at other UFO sightin...
