    UNEXPLAINED NORTH CAROLINA: Disturbing Encounters from the Swamps to the Smokies

    What followed a hunter out of Green Swamp? What approached a lone hiker near Waynesville on two legs? Why did two children insist they could see a wolfman in their grandfather’s backyard when the adults beside them saw nothing? Tonight on Phantoms & Monster Radio, UNEXPLAINED NORTH CAROLINA brings together eight unsettling reports from the state’s swamps, rural communities, and western mountains. The presentation includes: • The historical account of blood-colored rain in Chatham County in 1884. • A hunter’s reported pursuit by an enormous black cat in Green Swamp. • An upright canine encounter near Waynesville in July 2021. • A clothed wolfman reportedly visible to two children in Cleveland County. • A childhood encounter with a strangely shaped figure near Brown Mountain. • A camper’s account of a reptile-like humanoid in the Smoky Mountains. • A search for a missing cat that led to a disturbing discovery in the woods. • An unverified claim of a military operation against aggressive Sasquatch in western North Carolina. These accounts are presented for discussion and examination. They include personal recollections, a secondhand report, historical claims, and an unsupported allegation of military involvement. Their inclusion does not prove the events happened as described. Have you experienced something unexplained in North Carolina? Share your account in the comments, including the approximate location, date, and what you observed. Which of tonight’s reports do you find most puzzling?

    UNEXPLAINED ALABAMA: Compelling Encounters, Disembodied Voices, & Beasts in the Trees and Skies

    A towering figure in Bankhead National Forest. Orange eyes outside a farmhouse near Guntersville. A silent winged humanoid above the University of Alabama. And voices calling “Come inside” from a dark drainage tunnel in Mobile. Tonight on Phantoms & Monster Radio, UNEXPLAINED ALABAMA brings together eight unsettling accounts of unusual creatures, mysterious lights, and encounters that witnesses say changed the way they see the world. In this presentation: • Two encounters on the same stretch of road near Auburn: a massive, maned canine and a silent three-light object. • A fisherman’s frightening encounter with a dark-haired figure in Bankhead National Forest. • A pale, long-limbed humanoid watching from behind a tree in north-central Alabama. • Recurring disturbances and a wolf-like visitor at a farmhouse near Guntersville. • A huge, leathery winged animal reported near Big Creek Lake outside Mobile. • A student’s sighting of a silent winged humanoid over Tuscaloosa. • A reported reptilian visitor at an isolated farm; the location is unspecified in the supplied account. • A 1989 Mobile drainage-tunnel encounter involving strange voices, glowing eyes, and an unusually dressed family. These are witness narratives presented for discussion, not independently verified events. Creature identifications and proposed connections reflect the interpretations described in the accounts.
