Mysteries and Monsters M&M Subscriber

In 1988, the small town of Bishopville was about find itself smack bang in the middle of a monster flap that attracted world wide attention. When locals began reporting some strange reports of damaged vehicles, the authorities appeal for help took a decidely strange turn.

What started as some unusual vandalism turned in to a collection of reports of encounters with some chilling and disturbing encounters with a weird bipedal creature lurking near Scape Ore Swamp.

Joining me to return to one of his earliest cases is author, researcher and rock god Lyle Blackburn. Lyle covers the witnesses and encounters he covered in his book along with some of the odder aspects to an already odd case.

Lyle's book and podcast can be found here:

My guest this week takes us on a journey in to history and cementing the paranormal connections to the past that can sometimes come up in a haunting. 

Penny Griffiths Morgan has built a reputation for being a researcher of esteemed merit who drills down in to the alleged histories of hauntings to see if there is any factual evidence to support the claims often put forward for alleged haunted histories.

The paranormal has many aspects to it that often get overlooked more often than not. One perplexing phenomena that rose to prominence in the late 1970's was reports of telephone calls from the beyond. 

D Scott Rogo and Raymond Baylis's seminal 1979 book, Phone Calls From The Dead investigated dozens of witness accounts of the bereaved receiving a call from the other side in some jaw dropping incidents. 

Thankfully, Dr Cal Cooper has picked up the mantle and has now re-released his update investgation in his book "Telephone Calls From The Dead".

Dr Cooper joins me to discuss the power of the paranormal to react to situations of grief, loss and bereavement along with some stunning cases and the possibilities of what such cases can mean in the investigation of parapsychology.

Dr Cooper's website is here:

The book can be found here:
