CRYPTID: The Wendigo Re-Visited

Join Josh as he revisits one of the most haunting and misunderstood cryptids in North American folklore. From Indigenous legends and early written accounts to chilling real world cases and modern encounters, this episode explores the Wendigo as both a monster of myth and a reflection of very real human fear.

We examine the original purpose of the legend, the Swift Runner case, Wendigo psychosis, and unsettling sightings that blur the line between folklore and reality. Is the Wendigo simply a warning meant to protect communities from isolation, hunger, and desperation, or is there something darker still lurking in the forests of the north?

UNEXPLAINED: The Phoenix Lights

Join Josh as he dives into one of the most mysterious mass sightings in modern history — the Phoenix Lights. On a calm March night in 1997, thousands of people across Arizona reported seeing something impossible: a massive V-shaped craft gliding silently across the sky, followed later by glowing orbs hovering over the mountains.

From military flares and experimental aircraft to mass misidentification, this episode unpacks every angle behind one of America’s most unforgettable unexplained events. Was this a secret craft being tested over civilian areas? Or did something truly unknown pass over Arizona that night?

CRYPTID: The Beast of Bray Road

Join Josh as he dives into the eerie and tangled world of the Beast of Bray Road — a creature said to stalk the backroads of Wisconsin with glowing eyes, hulking shoulders, and a hunger for fear. For decades, locals have reported encounters with something standing upright, wolf-like, and impossibly fast.

From werewolf legends and Native American lore to Bigfoot, bears with mange, hoaxes, and everything in between, this episode unpacks every theory behind one of America’s most iconic modern monsters. Are these sightings simple misidentifications, clever pranks, or evidence of an undocumented creature hiding in the Midwest shadows?
