Tracing Owls

An eccentrically nuanced exploration into Fortean philosophy, focusing on the roles of Mother Nature, the Trickster and the experiencer in shaping phenomena, with tremendous doses of absurdity, mischief, but also humility! Cryptids, UFOs, Paranormal phenomena, High strangeness and Fortean anomalies, do they all possibly originate from the same source? Are they actually a mirror to our own subconsciousness, and what may they teach us about ourselves? We seek to catalogue the overlooked, spotlight the disregarded, and remind that the cosmic expanse is much greater than our understanding of it!

    Tale of the Guglucanga

    A fitting end to the show. I created this little skit about 3 years ago and it is uncanny how much it still resonates and expresses my views on cryptozoology, and by extension most of "paranormal investigation" as a whole. Thanks to all the listeners who stuck around despite always hearing me say stuff they do not want to hear, but probably should. Thanks to all the guests who helped us better understand the complex linguistic, cultural, social and personal nuances of these odd interests and experiences.

    Hungry Hungry Hippos

    Might river monster legends be projected ancestral memories of freakin' hippos, passed onto us from our earliest roots in Africa? Discussed are the Kelpie, Dobhar-chu, Ahuizotl, and their possible achetypal ties to the #1 deadliest animal in Africa!

    Oogie Boogie Bookmarks

    Do cryptids and ghosts serve as personified reminders of obscure historical events? And are we using them as middle men who allow us to gracefully disassociate ourselves from the errors of our past? Discussed is the idea that cryptids and ghosts may serve as bookmarks which help us rediscover our own history, with special emphasis on the Hull Werewolf and the Sliderock Bolter.

    A Roswellian Utopia

    As July is nearing an end, we attempt to milk the Roswell cow dry of its spoiled trendiness, plucking at the nerves of old-school UFO fanboys like a marionette! Was Roswell a myth perpetuated by our own puppet masters, and if so, why have they abandoned their baby? Exchanged spooks for kooks, and saucers for tic-tacs? It's not just a mint... it's a sugar daddy! ====================== Send us suggestions and comments to ⁠tracingowlspodcast@gmail.com⁠ Follow us on Instagram ⁠@tracingowls⁠ or Twitter ⁠@TracingOwls⁠ Check our Linktree: ⁠linktr.ee/tracingowls⁠ Outro music obtained from ⁠https://www.zapsplat.com

    The Superspectrum of Gaia - with Barbara Fisher

    Barbara opens a never-ending can of worms as we tackle animism, Gaia, light phenomena, consciousness and death! As the host of 6 Degrees of John Keel, Barbara talks with various experiencers and researchers of high strangeness. She is also a bookworm who memorizes every book she reads! Thanks to this vast knowledge, and her own personal experiences, Barbara has been developing a theory proposing that the origin of The Other lies within its purest form: anomalous lights. She puts her Keelian cap on to talk about ultraterrestrials and light beings, while I put my Gaianist cap on to discuss whether our consciousness is connected to the Earth, and the role of microbes in forming our psyches! ====================== Huge THANK YOU!!! to Barbara Fisher for putting in the most minimal effort to censor herself, resulting in a hilariously entertaining 2-hour experience! ❤️ Check out her podcast 6 Degrees of John Keel HERE or visit their website at 6degreesofjohnkeel.com Follow them on Instagram @6degreesofjohnkeel or e-mail them at 6djk67@gmail.com Check out her episode I guested on Episode 82: Science, Gaia and Archetypes with Darwin ====================== Episode artwork by Barbara Fisher @6degreesofjohnkeel Send us suggestions and comments to tracingowlspodcast@gmail.com Follow us on Instagram @tracingowls or Twitter @TracingOwls Check our Linktree: linktr.ee/tracingowls Intro sampled from "Something strange lurks in the shadows" by Francisco Sánchez (@fanchisanchez) Sound effects obtained from https://www.zapsplat.com

    One of Us - with AP Strange

    AP Strange returns to carefully tap-dance around the miraculous yet ethically questionable history of sideshows! Our idea was to discuss the 1932 Todd Browning movie "Freaks", emphasizing the amazing careers and inspirational life stories of its diverse cast, who came in all shapes and sizes. But as is the case when discussing the old timey sideshow circuit and its performers, we quickly ended up having to navigate through a minefield of controversy, exploitation, moral dilemmas, and a giant mirror reflecting back at ourselves! Nevertheless, we kept ourselves in the safety of the spotlight, sharing insight into the lives of these exceptional individuals, who overcame tremendous physical and societal challenges to master skills and talents which convey the magic and power of human will. ====================== Huge THANK YOU!!! to AP Strange for soothing our ears with his delightful voice! Hopefully he decides to narrate a few audiobooks and not get sued in the process ❤️ Follow him on Twitter @AProdigiosus or Instagram @apstrange23 Visit his website as well at www.apstrange.com (yes, he is semi-professional, and a nice guy too!) ====================== Send us suggestions and comments to tracingowlspodcast@gmail.com Follow us on Instagram @tracingowls or Twitter @TracingOwls Check our Linktree: linktr.ee/tracingowls Intro sampled from "Something strange lurks in the shadows" by Francisco Sánchez (@fanchisanchez) Sound effects obtained from https://www.zapsplat.com

    Small Strangeness: The Alien Head in a Croatian Graveyard

    Are alien tourists losing their heads while vacationing in Croatia? Is the Cosmic Trickster just messing with our heads via mundane tree roots?

Enjoy this oddity for what it is, allow it to briefly disrupt the stagnation of your mundane existence, and then just move on with your life! ====================== Send us suggestions and comments to ⁠tracingowlspodcast@gmail.com⁠ Follow us on Instagram ⁠@tracingowls⁠ or Twitter ⁠@TracingOwls⁠ Check our Linktree: ⁠linktr.ee/tracingowls⁠ Sound effects obtained from ⁠https://www.zapsplat.com⁠ ====================== FURTHER READING: ⁠Alien Head Dug Up In Croatian Graveyard Smells Like Male Perfume | Huffington Post⁠ ⁠Alien head discovered by workers digging in Croatian graveyard | Mirror⁠ ⁠Mayor asks scientists to examine alien head | Open Minds⁠ ⁠ALIEN HEAD UNEARTHED IN CROATIAN GRAVEYARD | Museum of the Weird⁠ ⁠Svemirac u Međimurju?!
