    Episode 85: The Allagash Abductions Part 2 - We're All into Aliens

    Matt, Katie, and EJ continue their investigation of the Allagash Abductions, the story of four campers' alleged encounter with extraterrestrials in the Maine wilderness. A decade after the event, abductee Jim Weiner begins experiencing strange sleep disturbances. Assuming these are repressed memories of his encounter, he dives headfirst into the world of UFOs and alien abductions. Jim's research uncovers the case of Betty and Barney Hill, a pair of alleged abductees from the 1960s, and Betty Andreasson, who claimed she was acting as missionary for aliens. Convinced that he's the victim of a similar encounter, Jim Weiner seeks out the investigator spearheading the Andreasson Affair: MUFON correspondent Raymond Fowler. Unbeknownst to Jim, Fowler's flawed methods implanted false memories in his subjects, building an entire cannon of alien abduction experiences that never happened. And now, the Allagash Four are about to become the subject of his next erroneous experiment.  slayingmonsterspodcast.com Become a supporter:  supporters.slayingmonsterspodcast.com Slaying Monsters merch:  slayingmonsterspodcast-shop.fourthwall.com

    Episode 84: The Allagash Abductions Part 1 - Type 2 Fun

    In 1976, four men on a camping trip in the remote Allagash Wilderness Waterway experienced an otherworldly encounter. Allegedly, they were abducted by aliens who performed a series of experiments on them, before returning them to their campsite with no memory of the events. But when all four were independently studied, they all told the same story: one of shimmering lights in the sky, hypnotism, paralysis and horrifying surgical procedures by alien beings.    Investigated by renowned ufologist Raymond Fowler, the Allagash Abductions has been called "undeniable proof"that extraterrestrials are real, and are kidnapping people for horrifying experimentation. This is the story of their alleged experiences and of confirmation bias in the golden era of modern ufology. It’s a fascinating look into how mythology is built, and how dangerous it is to start looking for answers when you’ve already got them in mind.   slayingmonsterspodcast.com Become a supporter:  supporters.slayingmonsterspodcast.com Slaying Monsters merch:  slayingmonsterspodcast-shop.fourthwall.com

    Fortean Roundup: February - All the President's Aliens

    Matt, Katie and EJ tackle the latest Fortean news. Did Obama cheekily reveal that aliens are real? And will Trump finally be the president to get to the bottom of it? What's the betting odds that you'll be abducted by aliens? And did a secret Russian research program find out the truth about flying saucers? Plus, there's a Sasquatch loose in Quantico military base and EJ has a special announcement.    Obama says aliens are real https://nypost.com/2026/02/14/us-news/obama-says-aliens-are-real-but-i-havent-seen-them-in-out-there-new-interview/ https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/16/barack-obama-no-evidence-aliens-real-interview-podcast   Sports betting odds that you’ll be abducted by aliens https://www.kake.com/news/offbeat/kansans-have-1-03-chance-of-being-abducted-by-aliens-study-says/article_69ed7e96-7e2f-4b7f-9d1e-74b05d72449a.html   Stolen Russian documents reveal the Soviet Project Blue Book https://nypost.com/2026/02/07/world-news/ufo-intel-documents-stolen-out-of-russia-reveal-decade-long-probes-into-alien-encounters-and-abductions/ https://skepticalinquirer.org/newsletter/history-of-state-ufo-research-in-the-ussr/   Bigfoot sighted at Quantico Marine base https://www.outkick.com/culture/marines-restricted-military-training-area-quantico-marine-base-spot-bigfoot https://www.bfro.net/gdb/show_report.asp?id=79672   slayingmonsterspodcast.com Become a supporter:  supporters.slayingmonsterspodcast.com Slaying Monsters merch:  slayingmonsterspodcast-shop.fourthwall.com

    Episode 83: Sewer Cryptids Part 3 - Cow Tunnels and Trash Gators

    Matt, Katie and EJ conclude their investigation into the legends of Sewer Cryptids. Focusing on New York City, we examine the legendary cow tunnels that may have been used to move livestock underground in the 19th century. Then, we take a bite out of the most infamous sewer cryptid of them all: the sewer gator. Were New York residents actually flushing baby alligators into the sewers, where they grew to monstrous proportions? And are there any real reports of underground reptiles around the world? The dark tunnels and passageways beneath our feet will forever be a source of mythology and legend, one where monsters lurk in both reality and fantasy.    slayingmonsterspodcast.com Become a supporter:  supporters.slayingmonsterspodcast.com Slaying Monsters merch:  slayingmonsterspodcast-shop.fourthwall.com

    Episode 82: Sewer Cryptids Part 2 - A Load of Tosh

    Matt, Katie and EJ continue their investigation into the legends of Sewer Cryptids. During the mid-19th century, journalist Henry Mayhew chronicled the lives, work, and philosophies of London's lower class. He became particularly fascinated with the toshers, men who crept through the sewers looking for lost valuables. Their experiences, toiling away in the dingy tunnels, gave rise to fantastic tales. According to the toshers, a race of feral hogs roamed the underground, viscously attacking anyone they found. Even more unbelievable was the story of the Queen Rat, who could curse or bless a tosher, depending on her mood. Collectively, these legends paint a tapestry of folklore born from the darkness of an underworld just beneath London's feet.    slayingmonsterspodcast.com Become a supporter:  supporters.slayingmonsterspodcast.com Slaying Monsters merch:  slayingmonsterspodcast-shop.fourthwall.com

    Episode 81: Sewer Cryptids Part 1 - The Big Stink

    Beneath the streets of all major cities lie a mirror world of darkness. A sprawling network of interconnected tunnels and passageways, where all manner of monsters could lurk. As long as we’ve had sewers, we’ve had stories of the things that lived down there, in the dark, waiting for you to step just a little too far from the comfort of your home.    According to legends, our sewers are home for fearsome creatures, living amongst the filth and preying on interlopers. Vicious, wild hogs attacked anyone who ventured underground. Gigantic rats traveled in packs of hundreds, lead by a shapeshifting queen. Stampedes of cattle thundered below the streets, while blind alligators cruised the stinking waters hunting for prey. The stories of sewer cryptids serve as a rich foundation from which to explore human engineering, and the role that myths and legends play when technology and progress bumps up against the untamed world.   slayingmonsterspodcast.com Become a supporter:  supporters.slayingmonsterspodcast.com Slaying Monsters merch:  slayingmonsterspodcast-shop.fourthwall.com

    Episode 80: The Yeti Hand Heist Part 4 - Mr. Smith Goes to Nepal

    Matt, Katie and EJ conclude the saga of the Yeti hand heist. With Tom Slick’s plan in motion, Peter Byrne returns to Nepal and smuggles out a thumb and finger from the Pangboche Hand. To ally suspicion, the fragments are passed to Hollywood legend James Stewart and his wife Gloria. Using Stewart’s celebrity to bypass scrutiny, the fingers are hidden in Gloria’s lingerie bag and quietly flown to London. Once safely delivered, the fragments are passed to William Osman Hill and examined by leading scientists. Their results, and the fate of the Yeti hand, will become one of the controversial subjects in cryptozoology today.    Decades later, the mystery quietly continues, when the stolen Yeti fingers are rediscovered in a museum collection. In a symbolic act of restitution, a replica hand is returned to Pangboche Monastery in 2011, restoring what was lost—even if the truth is still to be revealed.    slayingmonsterspodcast.com supporters.slayingmonsterspodcast.com
