    Crop Circles Explained? Mystery, Hoaxes, and Unanswered Questions
    2026/06/09
    What if crop circles are more than just pranksters with boards and rope?In this episode of the Wondering Monsters Podcast, we dive deep into one of the strangest paranormal mysteries of the last century: crop circles. From the famous Stonehenge fractal formations and the mysterious Arecibo “response” circle to claims of microwave radiation, burned wheat nodes, and impossible overnight designs, we explore the evidence, the skepticism, and the unanswered questions.Were Doug and Dave really responsible for the world’s most famous crop circles? Could plasma phenomena or ball lightning explain some formations? Why did interest in crop circles suddenly disappear after the 1990s “debunking”? And what do ancient folklore, UFO theories, and government coverup claims have to do with all of it?Topics discussed include:The Stonehenge 'Julia Set' crop circleThe Milk Hill spiral formationThe Arecibo Answer crop circleMicrowave radiation and 'ghost circles'Ball lightning and plasma theoriesMedieval crop circle accountsOperation Blackbird and alleged government involvementWhy some formations still defy explanationWhether you think crop circles are elaborate hoaxes, natural phenomena, or something genuinely unexplained, this episode explores why the mystery refuses to go away.=================================================================Timestamps:0:00 - Crop circles Intro2:56 - Crop circles made by people4:12 - Microwave energy and radiation6:11 - Crop circles made by natural phenomenon7:12 - The problem with Doug and Dave, pioneer crop circle creators13:17 - Why cover it up?16:53 - Control?22:21 - Crop circles and math24:54 - Milky Way Crop Circle29:08 - Stonehenge and Crop Circles29:43 - Arecibo Message31:49 - Take credit for creations33:25 - Stonehenge Surprise, copycats, and Doug and Dave36:26 - Nazca Lines, Nazca Sand Circles37:52 - Robert Ridge, Roswell, New Mexico42:40 - Crop circle science, altered DNA45:51 - Ghost Circles from Crop Circles47:21 - Oliver's Castle Crop Circle (1996)50:04 - Strange natural phenomena51:12 - Arecibo Response51:40 - Possible explanations54:27 - Best evidence for non-human origin59:03 - Squashing crop circles1:04:01 - Crop circles are machine parts?1:07:08 - The REAL Explanation for Crop Circle Formation1:08:50 - Intro to Gaia Theory1:10:42 - Rankings1:19:04 - A warning and outro=================================================================Also Mentioned in This Episode:What are Liminal Spaces and Why Do They Feel So Weird?Are Theaters REALLY Haunted Places?Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and the Wild Man TraditionCurses, Haunted Dolls, and Cursed TreasureLeprechauns: Real History of Irish Folklore, Fairy Law, and Hidden TreasureHistory of Witches, Witchcraft, and FolkloreAre Real Psychics Actually Able To Predict The Future?=================================================================Full Show Notes and Licensing Information.Wondering Monster Links:Official Website: Wondering Monsters Podcast WebsiteYouTube: Wondering Monsters Podcast on YouTubeSpotify: Wondering Monsters Podcast on SpotifyApple Podcasts: Wondering Monsters Podcast on Apple PodcastsMore Podcast Platforms: Wondering Monsters Podcast on Other PlatformsBluesky: Wondering Monsters Podcast on BlueskyInstagram: Wondering Monsters Podcast on Instagram

  • Got Goblins in Your House?

    Got Goblins in Your House?
    2026/05/26

    Are goblins real… and could they actually be hiding inside your house?

    In this episode of the Wondering Monsters Podcast, we dive deep into the strange folklore, paranormal history, and modern mythology surrounding goblins. Forget the fantasy RPG version — traditional goblins were believed to be chaotic household spirits that hid in walls, crawled beneath floorboards, stole objects, caused disturbances, and thrived wherever disorder ruled.

    We explore:

    • The origins of goblin folklore in medieval Europe
    • Goblins as “chaos spirits” tied to messy homes and emotional turmoil
    • The differences between goblins, brownies, hobgoblins, boggarts, and red caps
    • Welsh mining goblins and dangerous trickster spirits
    • The bizarre 1955 Kelly-Hopkinsville Goblin encounter
    • Connections between goblins, UFO sightings, and paranormal entities
    • How movies, fantasy games, and pop culture changed the modern image of goblins

    Could goblins simply be folklore… or are they part of a much larger paranormal phenomenon?

    From glowing-eyed creatures hiding in dark corners to unexplained noises in the walls, this episode examines one of mythology’s strangest and most overlooked monsters.

    If you enjoy paranormal investigations, folklore, cryptids, supernatural mysteries, UFO encounters, and strange creatures from legend, this episode is for you.

  • Witchcraft: What's REALLY Behind the Tales of the WITCH!

    Witchcraft: What's REALLY Behind the Tales of the WITCH!
    2026/05/12

    What exactly is a witch?

    In this episode of the Wondering Monsters Podcast, we explore the strange and fascinating history of witches, witchcraft, folklore, and supernatural fear across centuries of human history. From the terrifying Strix of ancient Rome to the legendary Baba Yaga of Slavic folklore, we trace how witches evolved from mythical monsters into some of the most feared figures in society.

    We dive into the Salem Witch Trials, medieval witch hunts, curses, black magic, Wicca, flying broomsticks, witch folklore, and the moral panics that shaped the modern image of the witch. Along the way, we explore how fear of outsiders, women, wilderness, and the unknown helped create the legends that still haunt popular culture today.

    This episode also examines:

    Baba Yaga and the chicken-legged hut

    The origins of witch stereotypes

    Witchcraft in medieval Europe

    The Salem Witch Trials and social hysteria

    Wicca and modern witches

    Witch folklore across cultures

    Black magic, curses, and superstition

    Why witches became symbols of fear and rebellion

    Are witches supernatural beings, misunderstood healers, or victims of history? The answer may be stranger than fiction.

    If you enjoy paranormal history, folklore, mythology, cryptids, supernatural mysteries, and strange historical legends, this episode is for you.
