A terrifying sonic UFO abduction over the Wiltshire fields, Himalayan Yeti hunting, elite cloning theories, and multi-billion-year-old alien transmissions. Andy and Craig are back backstage at the Strange Days Festival for Part 2 of our special coverage!

We’re sitting down with an incredible lineup of researchers, artists, cryptid hunters, and comedians to explore local high-strangeness, global conspiracy lore, and the deep emotional connection behind searching for the unknown.

What We Cover In This Episode:

• The 2008 Barge Inn Sonic UFO & Abduction: Local artist JoJo shares an exclusive, terrifying account from the Honeystreet camping field. At 3:30 AM, a low-frequency tsunami-like rumble gave way to a blinding light beam and a violent acoustic pulse over the trees. Hear how temporary paralysis, telepathic contact with 7-foot entities, and physical reactions shook campers in the heart of Wiltshire’s crop circle country.
• Conspiracies & Cryptid Hunts with Dom Joly: Comedian and author Dom Joly joins us to chat about trekking through the Himalayas in search of the Yeti, hunting for Canada’s Ogo Pogo, the bizarre apocalyptic lore of Denver International Airport, and the wild world of conspiracy theories from his tour Mugwuffin.
• Bigfoot & Finding Your Tribe: Cryptozoology researchers Ryan 'RPG' Golembeske and Daniel Lee Barnett break down the emotional reality of Sasquatch investigations, the psychological impact of seeing the impossible, and why the cryptid community is all about community.
• HENGE’s Cosmic Transmissions: Extraterrestrial frontman Zpor details how the band engineers 75-minute sonic frequencies to dispel global sadness, his multi-billion-year history across clone bodies, and an astral connection forged at a Wiltshire Neolithic site.
• Hand-Sculpted Monsters with Mike Strick: Artist Mike Strick unboxes his incredible cryptid blind boxes, discussing ancient fossil discoveries in Swindon, the creation of the bootilshous lion, and a surprise appearance from the Enfield Poltergeist.
