    The Raven Mocker

    The Raven Mocker We explore the terrifying Cherokee legend of the Raven Mocker (Kâ'lanû Ahkyeli'skï ), one of the most feared entities in Cherokee mythology. The Raven Mocker is described as an ancient shapeshifting witch that preys upon the dying, consuming their hearts to steal their remaining years of life through supernatural means. According to Cherokee tradition, these malevolent beings appear as withered elderly humans but can transform into fiery, raven-like creatures that soar through the night sky, invisible to all except Cherokee medicine men. It is said that Raven Mockers must feed every seven days to survive and can supernaturally extract their victims' hearts without leaving any physical wounds. We discuss several historical accounts and modern encounters, including a chilling story about an oil field worker's face-to-face encounter with a feathered humanoid creature and a medicine man's lifelong battle against these entities.

    Audrey and Bella | Paranormal Investigators - Interview

    Paranormal investigators and content creators Audrey and Bella, who met in high school through their shared love of K-pop and ghost hunting shows, have grown their YouTube and TikTok following by documenting their investigations at haunted locations. In this interview, Audrey and Bella discuss their investigation process, which includes extensive planning via Google Docs, using equipment like spirit boxes and REM pods, and taking turns handling editing and social media duties for each investigation. They discuss some of their most compelling evidence, including intelligent responses through the Estes Method (where one investigator is blindfolded and wearing headphones while attempting to communicate with spirits), physical touches, and unexplained sounds at locations like Madison Seminary and Hotel Conneaut. Despite their rapid success on YouTube, they maintain a grounded approach to investigating, emphasizing the importance of showing respect at haunted locations, proper research, and careful planning for those interested in pursuing paranormal investigation.

  6. The Manhattan Alien Abduction

    The Manhattan Alien Abduction

    The Manhattan Alien Abduction In a 1989 case known as the Manhattan Alien Abduction, Linda Napolitano claimed she was lifted through her apartment window in a blue-white beam of light and taken aboard a UFO, with 23 witnesses reportedly observing the incident from various locations including the Brooklyn Bridge. UFO researcher Budd Hopkins, known for his regression therapy work and theories about alien-human hybrids, investigated the case and documented additional claims from Linda about subsequent alien encounters involving her son Johnny, who suffered persistent nosebleeds afterward. The case took an even stranger turn when two mysterious men named Richard and Dan, who initially came forward as witnesses, began stalking Linda for over a year before kidnapping her twice at gunpoint to question her about the abduction. While skeptics including Hopkins' ex-wife Carol questioned the credibility of the investigation and suggested the case was embellished for media attention, the high number of witnesses and physical evidence like Linda's x-ray showing an unexplained object in her nose have made this one of the most compelling and well-documented alien abduction cases.

    Bizarre News and Top 10 Horror Movie Villains Blind Ranking

    It's time for December 2024's Bizarre News! This month, we discuss four strange news stories. Phantom Neuro, an Austin-based startup, is developing a groundbreaking muscle implant that allows amputees to control prosthetic limbs through thought alone, with clinical trials planned for 2025 showing 94% accuracy across different gestures. Multiple oarfish, rare deep-sea creatures typically found 3,000 feet underwater, have mysteriously washed up on California beaches since August, leading scientists to suggest changes in ocean conditions or El Niño might be responsible. Researchers have developed an "Earworm Eraser," a 40-second audio track that switches between different tempos and musical styles to help eliminate unwanted songs stuck in people's heads, while a 106-year-old woman from Loveland, Ohio named Florence "Fireball" Smith celebrated her birthday by going skydiving and attributes her longevity to staying active and having a daily shot of Fireball Whiskey. For our monthly Blind Rankings, we have to rank the top 10 Horror Movie Villains.

  8. New Jersey Drone Sightings

    New Jersey Drone Sightings

    New Jersey Drone Sightings Since November 2024, residents across the northeastern United States have reported mysterious large drones, approximately 6 feet in diameter, appearing in coordinated formations at night over populated areas and military installations. These unidentified drones possess unusual characteristics: they're undetectable by radar, demonstrate advanced evasive capabilities when pursued, and have been spotted coming in from the ocean, leading to various theories ranging from foreign surveillance to military testing of new technology. While thousands of sightings have been reported, government agencies including the FBI, DHS, and Pentagon have downplayed the incidents, stating they've found no evidence of threats to national security and suggesting many sightings may be misidentified conventional aircraft. The lack of clear explanations and minimal government response has frustrated local officials and residents, with some state leaders calling for expanded authority to track and neutralize unauthorized drones in their airspace.
