    Dyatlov Pass Incident - Dead Mountain (Ep. 45)

    In this week's episode, we'll be talking about the nine hikers that died during a hiking/ski expedition in the Ural Mountains of Russia, the area now known as Dyatlov Pass.  The hikers set up camp on the slopes of Kholat Syakhi, which is a Mansi name translating to "Dead Mountain."  Something caused them to leave their tent in a panic and scatter about in subzero temperatures.  They left most of their supplies in the tent and were not dressed properly to survive the bitter cold. Six died from what was determined to be hypothermia, while the other three died from violent injuries.   The Russian officials claimed it was weather related, while others believed it was a military cover up or a Menk (Yeti) that attacked and killed them.  Listen to the official autopsy reports and come to your own conclusion.  We believe it was a Yeti.

    Enfield Monster - The Three Legged Blob (Ep. 42)

    In this week's episode, we'll be talking about a strange little creature called the Enfield Monster.  Hanging out in Enfield, Illinois, he created quite a panic in a small community.  He had been shot a few different times, but apparently was not harmed by bullets.  Police reports are on file and evidence was located that suggests he actually did exist.

    Lake Worth Monster - The Greer Island Goatman (Ep. 41)

    In this week's episode, we'll be talking about a Texas cryptid called the Lake Worth Monster.  He is a humanoid hybrid - resembling a goat.  He is seven feet tall, 250-350 pounds and very aggressive.  This is not a petting zoo friendly animal. He is known to attack without provocation. You definitely want to be very careful if you run across this guy.

    Giants - Nephilim - Anakim - Rephaim - Kandahar (Ep. 39)

    In this week's episode, we'll be talking about giants of the past and present.  Is it possible that some people were 450 feet tall in the days of Noah.  Did our military have an encounter with a giant in Afghanistan - only to deny it later?  Is the Smithsonian Institute hiding evidence of such giants?  Listen to our take on giants and decide for yourself what to believe.

    Flatwoods Monster - The Owl With A Cowl (Ep. 38)

    In this week's episode, we'll be talking about the Flatwoods Monster of West Virginia.  In 1952, he made his appearance on Fisher's farm after crashing or landing his craft on a nearby hillside.  Witnessed by many, the 10 foot tall creature hovered over the ground and emitted a purplish haze that made them sick. One man saw the craft leave, the morning after the incident.  The Air Force and the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry said the witnesses saw an owl and were exposed to mustard gas.  We think it was real.  Listen in and see what you think.
