    Why 12,000-Year-Old T-Pillars Just Appeared in the Euphrates River THE WEEKLY STRANGE Episode 72

    The map of the Neolithic revolution just changed forever. In January 2026, receding waters of the Atatürk Dam in the Adıyaman province of Turkey revealed something archaeologists thought was confined to a small cluster: monumental T-pillars identical to those found at Göbekli Tepe. This discovery proves that the "Pillar Religion" of the Stone Hills (Taş Tepeler) was far more widespread and sophisticated than previously believed.

    Sasquatch In My Back Yard? Jon's Possible May 2025 Bigfoot Incident THE WEEKLY STRANGE Episode 71

    You don’t expect to find a legend just miles from a bustling city, but something changed in Jon's suburban Boston back yard last May. We often think of Sasquatch as a creature of the deep Pacific Northwest, but what Jon experienced made him question all of his assumptions about Bigfoot. In this video, Jon breaks down exactly what happened—strange noises, awful smells, and eerie sensations. Was it a black bear passing through, or something else entirely?

    The Mapinguari: Brazilian Bigfoot That Guards Amazon’s Lost Cities THE WEEKLY STRANGE Episode 70

    Deep within the "Terra Firme" of the Amazon Rainforest, where human footprints are rare and ancient ruins are swallowed by the canopy, lives a creature that shouldn't exist. It is known as the Mapinguari - the Brazilian Bigfoot. Witnesses describe a 7-to-9-foot-tall monster with matted red fur, a paralyzing "stench of death," and skin so thick that bullets bounce off it like pebbles. Is this a mere indigenous legend, or are we looking at a living prehistoric survivor? Don't forget to Like, Subscribe, and Hit That Notification Bell!

    Bigfoot in the Backyard: The Shocking Proximity of Sasquatch to Boston THE WEEKLY STRANGE Episode 69

    We often think of Bigfoot as a creature of the deep, untouched wilderness of the Pacific Northwest or the vast North Woods of Maine. But what if the world's most elusive apex predator is living right on the edge of the Boston skyline? In this episode, Jon explores the "Urban Fringe" theory. He looks at the green corridors that lead directly into the heart of the Greater Boston area—from the rugged terrain of the Blue Hills Reservation to the dense, rocky thickets of the Middlesex Fells. These aren't just parks; they are part of an "Emerald Necklace" of connected wetlands and forests that allow a large creature to move unseen within miles of Fenway Park. Boston may be a concrete jungle, but the shadows on its edges are deeper than you think. Don't forget to Like, Subscribe, and Hit That Notification Bell!

    The First Abduction? The Story of Betty & Barney Hill THE WEEKLY STRANGE Episode 68

    September 19, 1961, changed the landscape of the paranormal forever. While driving through the dark mountain passes of Franconia Notch, New Hampshire, Betty and Barney Hill encountered a craft that would result in the world's most famous "missing time" event. But was it just a story? Or is there something more to it? Jon looks at the events that took place and also into the often-overlooked corroboration from the 764th Radar Squadron at East Mountain Radar Station in Vermont, where an anomalous object was tracked the very night the Hills were taken. Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, the Hill case remains the "Gold Standard" of ufology because of the physical and technical evidence that refuses to go away.

    The Impossible Mystery of Bigfoot on Cape Cod THE WEEKLY STRANGE Episode 66

    Is it possible for a 8-foot-tall apex predator to cross one of the most guarded waterways in America? Cape Cod, Massachusetts, is famous for its beaches, but for cryptid researchers, the real story lies in the dense pine barrens and the restricted acreage of Joint Base Cape Cod. In this video, Jon tackles the "Canal Problem," and explores the polarizing theories of how a Sasquatch could possibly reach the peninsula—from swimming the treacherous, high-velocity currents of the Cape Cod Canal to making a high-stakes midnight dash across the Railroad Bridge. Jon focuses on the sightings that shouldn't exist—but do. Don't forget to Like, Subscribe, and Hit That Notification Bell!

    Hidden Highways: Tracking Sasquatch Migration Routes in Massachusetts THE WEEKLY STRANGE Episode 65

    Is Sasquatch hiding in the Bay State? While many associate Bigfoot with the Pacific Northwest, Massachusetts has a dense history of sightings that suggest a sophisticated, seasonal migration pattern. In this deep-dive documentary, Jon explores the three primary "Hidden Highways" used by these elusive beings: the Berkshire-Taconic Corridor, the mysterious "Monsterland" of Central MA, and the high-strangeness of the Bridgewater Triangle. Whether you're a seasoned researcher or a skeptic, the data reveals a fascinating pattern of movement across one of America's most densely populated states.
