On a quiet Kansas farm in 1971, a teenager claimed to witness a glowing, silently hovering object in the night sky. By morning, a perfectly formed luminescent ring was etched into the ground where the craft allegedly appeared. The soil was hard, water-repellent, and oddly resistant to being disturbed. Over the years, investigators, skeptics, and believers have all taken their turn trying to explain what really happened.

In this episode, we explore:

1. The Night of the Sighting

The witness account, the conditions on the farm, and how the glowing ring was discovered.

2. The Physical Evidence

What multiple investigations found in the soil, why the ring behaved so strangely, and how it compares to other alleged landing traces.

3. Skeptics vs. Believers

From hoax theories and natural explanations to claims of a genuine close encounter – we lay out the strongest arguments on both sides.

4. Science, Memory, and Myth

How eyewitness testimony, media coverage, and time itself can transform a local oddity into a legendary case.

Was the Delphos Ring a genuine trace of something not-of-this-world, a misunderstood natural phenomenon, or an elaborate story that got out of hand?

First, we head to Louisville, Kentucky, to stand under the twisted branches of the infamous Witches’ Tree and talk curses, lightning strikes, and maypoles.

Then we track down the Squonk, the saddest cryptid in Pennsylvania. So ugly it literally cries itself into a puddle. We discuss how this weepy woodland creature somehow became one of the most relatable monsters of all time.

Next up is the 100 Steps Cemetery, where legend says you can glimpse your own fate if you’re brave enough to climb the steps at midnight.

Finally, we hop over to the story of the Bunny Man, because nothing says “nightmare fuel” like a possibly axe‑wielding figure in a bunny suit lurking under a Virginia bridge. We untangle how this bizarre tale started, why it refuses to die, and what makes it so strangely funny.

This is the perfect episode for anyone who likes the creepy, strange, and often hilarious stories of things that go bump in the night.

In this episode, we dive deep into the Kecksburg UFO Incident, one of the most enduring and controversial UFO cases in American history. We’ll explore:

• Eyewitness accounts of the mysterious object and the strange acorn-shaped craft some locals say they saw on the ground

• Reports of a sudden military presence, roadblocks, and a rapid “clean-up” operation in the middle of the night

• How the official explanation—“a meteor”—has been challenged for decades by researchers, journalists, and residents

• The ongoing legal battles and FOIA requests that tried to force the government to reveal what really happened

• Theories ranging from a secret U.S. or Soviet space object, to a failed satellite, to something not of this Earth at all

Was it a top-secret military recovery operation, a misidentified space object, or a genuine UFO encounter? We break down the evidence, the inconsistencies, and the myths that have grown around Kecksburg over the last 60 years.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have everything you need to decide for yourself: was Kecksburg simply another Cold War mystery—or one of the clearest cases of a covered-up UFO crash on American soil?

We start with EMF meters—devices used to detect unusual spikes in electromagnetic fields that some investigators believe can signal a spirit’s presence. From there, we turn to thermal imaging cameras, which reveal hot and cold spots, strange silhouettes, and temperature anomalies the naked eye would never catch.

Next, we step into the world of Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP), where investigators capture unexplained voices and sounds on digital recorders—often heard only on playback. We also explore the Estes Method, a sensory deprivation technique that combines spirit boxes, noise isolation, and blindfolds in an attempt to create a more direct channel for potential spirit communication.

Along the way, we break down the major types of hauntings you’ll hear about in paranormal circles:

• Residual hauntings, like energetic echoes replaying the same scene over and over.

• Intelligent hauntings, where entities seem to respond, interact, and communicate.

• Poltergeist activity, focused on movement, chaos, and physical disturbances.

• Demonic hauntings, the darkest and most feared, said to involve malevolent non-human entities.

Are these tools really detecting the dead—or just revealing the limits of our perception? Join us as we examine the tech, the theories, and the different kinds of hauntings investigators claim to encounter, and decide for yourself what might be waiting on the other side.

In this episode, we dive into the dark and fascinating history of Waverly Hills, from its early days as a tuberculosis hospital to the chilling legends that emerged after its doors closed. We’ll walk through the infamous “body chute,” talk about reported apparitions like the mysterious Room 502, and explore why this abandoned building still captures the imagination of ghost hunters and skeptics alike.

There's so much to cover on this topic that we barely scratch the surface, so we'll definitely do more on Waverly Hills in the future. Stay tuned.
