    164 - Not Deer

    What is the opposite of a yes deer? A Not Deer. *ba dum tis*. According to the Cryptid Wiki, "The Not Deer is a creature said to inhabit the Appalachian Mountains with most sightings being in the state of Tennessee." If you look at the common trends in the paranormal, a lot have to do with the high strange in the Appalachia areas. Specifically right around West Virginia. A lot of folk magik still be practiced in 2024, cryptid sightings up the wazoo, and occult like traditions like not to whistle at night. One of these stories is what we talk about this week. A Not Deer. A strange creature that looks like a deer, but does not act like one. Being able to run on its hind legs at fast speeds, incredible intelligence, and frightening features.

    163 - Ushi-oni

    163 - Ushi-oni

    According to Yokai.com, "A terror from Western Japan, ushi oni is a class of monster that lives near water. The name literally means “ox demon,” and it refers to a number of different monsters with bovine traits. Most Ushi oni resemble an ox from the head up and a demonic horror below. Many variations are known to exist; the body of an ox with a head like an oni’s; the head of an ox on a body like a spider’s or a cat’s; or even an ox’s head on the body of a kimono-clad human (a Japanese version of the minotaur)." This thing is wild. It's one part siren, one part spider, one part ox, and did we mention it BREATHES POISION GAS?!

    162 - Walking Sam

    162 - Walking Sam

    According to Galnet, "Walking Sam is an ancient being, according to Native American lore, tied in closely with spiritual beings known as the "Stick Indians." Stick Indians are the shadow people or dWark people. Even in childhood, children hear legends of these dark forces, demonic presences that will stalk reservations and try to lure unsuspecting victims to their doom. They have a cloud of death that hangs over them and follows them, no matter who they are stalking.You may know if one is nearby because you will hear it whistling to you. If you follow the whistling, these beings may have the ability to paralyze you, hypnotize you, or simply drive you insane. If you were to disrespect them somehow, they would hold the grudge and seek out vengeance upon you, no matter the cost. Some tribes still regard these beings with such fear and respect that they do not speak of them, and thus their full legend isn't known outside the indigenous communities. We do, however, know that Walking Sam is believed to be one of those beings and that he's one of the most powerful of them." This is a major scary creature for The Lakota Nation in South Dakota. Is this tall whistling nightmare something that's mystery can be cracked?

    161 - The Mineral Point Vampire

    161 - The Mineral Point Vampire

    Wisconsin is the home to many things. Beer, cheese, and cheese curds to name a few. However, what if I was to tell you that there was some dark lore going on in that dairy state. In the small mining town of Mineral Point, there was reports of people dressing like vampires running around scarring the public. However, one case in particular was a bit odd. One night, while chasing a caped wearing fellow in a cemetery, police stopped him and he ran off. They followed his foot prints in the snow until they got to a giant stone wall. Looking over the other side showed no foot prints what so ever. Was there really a vampire causing havoc?

    159 - The Vanishing Hitchhiker of Black Horse Lake

    159 - The Vanishing Hitchhiker of Black Horse Lake

    Stop me if you heard this one before...guy picks up young lady walking down a dark road. She needs a ride. She gets in, is awfully quiet, and asks to be dropped off at a cemetery. She gets out, and vanishes. Looking in the backseat, the driver sees she left her scarf. Tracking down where he thought she lived? Turns out she has been dead for 10 years. This is a common trope in ghost stories known as the vanishing hitchhiker. Being in Chicagoland, the story around us is Resurrection Mary on the South Side. This story comes to us from Black Horse Lake in Montana. According to hwy.com, "Black Horse Lake is just a few miles north of Great Falls in Cascade County in north-central Montana. This is a major crossroads where several highways come together, including Interstate 15 and U.S. Highway 87." So this remote area is also seeming to be pretty popular during driving. Hwy.com goes on to say, "The various accounts almost always describe the hitchhiker of Black Horse Lake as a Native American man with long, black hair. He wears either a denim jacket or overalls and stands on the side of the state highway, signaling for a ride. However, just as the driver passes, the hitchhiker suddenly lurches in front of the car." So, this is one spooky story you won't want to miss. Joining us this week is Steve Michaels, pro wrestling superstar and paranormal investigator.
