The Vanishing Hitchhiker

Monday Oct 30, 2023
Need a lift?
We're hitting the road to investigate the legend of the Vanishing Hitchhiker! We've all heard the old tale of a weary motorist giving aid to a stranded stranger on the side of dark road.
In these twice-told legends, the driver offers the hitchhiker a ride home... only for the strange passenger to VANISH before arriving at their destination - which is often revealed to be a long-abandoned home or spooky graveyard. This story is nothing new. Long before our modern era of automobiles, travelers on horseback have crossed paths with lost souls in need of transportation.
Is there any truth to this urban legend? Buckle up and find out...
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

An Alien Affair: The Antônio Vilas-Boas Abduction
Monday Sep 25, 2023
Monday Sep 25, 2023
We're back with an EXTRA close encounter of the Third Kind!
...
In 1957, Brazilian farmer Antonio Vilas-Boas was plucked from his tractor and brought aboard an alien spacecraft. Unlike other tales of alien contact, Antonio's account centers around an experiment in hybrid breeding. You know what they say: one man's traumatic event is another man's x-rated Star Trek fanfiction.
Join us as we dig through the salacious details of a benchmark alien abduction story. Was Antonio's experience an exotic fantasy or otherworldly nightmare? You be the judge!

The Montauk Project
Tuesday Aug 22, 2023
Tuesday Aug 22, 2023
We're back with a new episode that covers two interweaving government conspiracy theories about secret military experiments. First, the testing of a controversial new cloaking device leaves a WW2 battleship in uncharted waters.
This event known as the "Philadelphia Experiment" would bring about bizarre consequences that inspired a decades long study into electromagnetism and psychic powers. That rumored military study was known colloquially as the "Montauk Project". Set in the coastal New York town of (you guessed it) Montauk, this tale of obscene human experimentation borrows heavily from our favorite tropes about shadow governments and psychic phenomena.
If you enjoy crackpot conspiracies, unreliable narrators, and time travel - you are in for a treat!

The Dark Watchers
Monday Jul 03, 2023
Monday Jul 03, 2023
"It always feels like somebody's watchin' me." - Rockwell
Have you ever found yourself alone when suddenly you catch the feeling of watchful eyes? It might manifest as an unwanted specter peeking through the crack in the closet door, or the burning stare of some invisible voyeur watching from beyond a darkened window. In these moments of unexplainable panic, we often tell ourselves that it's the mind playing tricks - but for the citizens and visitors of California's central coast, its all too real.
The Dark Watchers are one of Cali's strangest secrets. Be it natural phenomenon or supernatural forces, the one thing that IS known about "Los Vigilantes Oscuros" is that they've haunted Californians for centuries. Starting in the 1700s when Spanish scouts first braved the central mountain ranges, the Watchers were reportedly seen in large numbers staring down from clifftops and waiting along the horizon. Silent, towering silhouettes of men in black shrouds and wide-brimmed hats. Looming, waiting, watching.
Listen as we unravel the mystery of these shadowy guardians. But first: take a good look around. Someone may be watching you...
