Almost Canon

This week we talk with Antediluvian Landfill, an Instagramer who's uncovered something incredible! This guy has uncovered something that I think most people who talk about this kind of stuff only scratch the surface of. We're talking extremely ancient, extremely large earthworks, strange serpent head iconography, as well as stone fragments that scatter the wilderness, not only around him but the world! There is something big here. Like a giant piece of the puzzle has been uncovered. So if ancient history and forgotten civilizations like Atlantis or Lemuria is your thing then this is an episode you won't want to...

This week we dive deep and investigate Merfolk! We take a look at the history behind these ancient creatures and how they were once worshipped as gods. We look at a handful of recorded accounts made by famous explorers like Columbus, John Smith and even Blackbeard the pirate. We take a look at the Aquatic Ape Theory, which suggests our early ancestors slip and while we went off to the savannah some stayed on the coastline and actually went out into the ocean.

You’ve heard of meteor strikes. You’ve heard of nuclear tests. You’ve heard of alien crash landings. But what if I told you there was an explosion in 1908 so powerful, so sudden, so completely unexplained—that it flattened 80 million trees, lit the night skies in Europe, and shook the world’s scientific community for over a century?

This isn’t fiction. This isn't myth or legend. This is the story of the Tunguska Event—a real-life cosmic mystery buried in the frozen swamps of Siberian tygga. 

So on this weeks episode of Almost Canon...

We often hear that 'we know more about the surface of Mars than we do of our own oceans'. So is it possible that there are still large undiscovered species out there to find? After all, we have hundreds, if not thousands, of years worth of sailing stories that tell of the monstrous kraken, a creature so large its arms could reach the tallest sail and pull ships beneath the waves. But is there any evidence of their existence? Check out this weeks episode for more!

In honor of Jurassic World: Rebirth, we're sticking with Dinosaurs this week. We start out by digging deep into history and visiting the ancient city of Babylon, where it's believed by some that the priests kept a dinosaur in the great temple to be worshipped as a Sirrush. Then we venture back to Africa and check out some modern day expeditions into the swamps and rivers of the Congo as well as the Amazon rainforest where a few reports of dinosaur-like creatures have come from, including reports by explorer Percy Fawcett.

ON this weeks episode we look at several Missing 411 cases which we believe are the strangest and most perplexing. these cases would include: Stacy Arras 1981, Yosemite; Samuel Boehlke 2006 Crater Lake; Tom Messick 2015, Lily Pond, New York; Bart Schleyer 2004, the Yukon.

On this weeks episode we look through the historical record at a handful of giant races and ask the question: "could they be Nephilim?" There certainly seems to be certain traits that these giant races share even though they are often separated by thousands of miles. Could it all be a coincidence? We don't think so. After all, all myths and legends have some sort of truth.

Nick also gives his short review on Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, a video game that was recently released on the PS5 and has some surprising connections to the...

This week we dive into the Hexham Head mystery and the paranormal happenings that followed as well as take a closer look at the accounts of spectral dogmen.

We ask ourselves were the Hexham Heads cursed or were they some sort of gateway to another realm? Was the werewolf seen in the Hexham Heads case the result of a Celtic curse or was it an actual, physical, dogman with some kind of spectral ability to traverse this gateway?

We also take a look at a couple other reported cases of dogmen/werewolves with suspected spectral...

We believe Folklore is incredibly important when it comes to cryptozoology and even the paranormal. Cryptids like Sasquatch and mysterious entities like the Skinwalker have been talked about in folklore long before they were ever popularized by newspaper articles or the internet. But it doesn’t stop there. North American folklore is full of mysterious creatures and evil entities. and this week we explore a handful of them with Ryan Paul Tremblay, an expert on North American folklore and an investigator of cryptozoology and the paranormal.

In this episode we look at several different cryptids and entities se...

On this weeks episode we talk about giants seen in folklore from around the world. Whether its the giant behind how the city of Antwerp got its name; or how one of WW2's most fought over piece of land is actually a hotbed for giants; or the interesting history behind a band of giants said to once have invaded Ecuador in the "distant past". If giants are your thing then check out this episode, you won't be sorry.

The Wild West is not only a time period in American history that I personally find fascinating but it’s also a region of the world ha that calls to me. There’s just something about the craggy mountains; remote canyons; dry, desert, landscape and lmysterious history that truly pulls me in. And I’m not the only one, which is why countless TV shows, movies and radio plays were set in the wild west. And it’s this romanticize idea of the west, mainly the real life  lore and legends coming out of the south west that really grabbed my...

“Fee. Fie. Foe. Fum. I smell the blood of an English Man” is synonymous with one thing in this world…..giants. 

    These enormous beings were and are a force to be reckoned with, one that man has battled with throughout History.

While Nick's away at the Childrens Hospital in Boston, we look at two cryptid creatures from the frozen North, the Tupilaq of Greenlandic folklore and the Chenoo from Wabenaki folklore. Due to the fact that it's the dead of winter, we thought it was be best to discuss two creature of folklore who thrive in the freezing cold. This will be a shorter episode but its packed full with exciting cryptid lore!

Within the early hours of 2025 the United States was rocked by two terrorist events. but it wouldn't take long for investigators to find out that one of those events was aimed to be more of a wake up call than anything else. As the details trickled in, a web of information began to make something clear. The suspected cyberyruck bomber was in fact a whistleblower with knowledge of not only covered up warcrimes but highly advanced technology. So, in this weeks episode Nick dive into those events with Mick Strange and they pick apart the pieces. Pieces that sound...

The world is full of cursed places. Places that have seen some sort of horrific event, which in turn has caused the ground to go sour, as Jud Crandall would say. Places like Roanoke Island, off the coast of north Carolina or the Hoya Bacu Forest in Transylvania. 

    Then there are places where the ground has just always been sour, like Glastenbury Mountain here in Vermont or the suicide forest in the shadow of Mount Fuji. 

    And then there are places where someone has physically cursed the land, like The Saco River in Maine, or Dudleytown...

History is full of mysterious and supernatural events. The sinking of Atlantis;  the building of the sphinx and great pyramids; the arrival of the Tuatha De; the resurrection of Jesus Christ; …… I mean there are just so many different events and people we could spend all year listing them all.

     But when it comes to history and the supernatural, there’s nothing better than digging through mythology and folklore. Because when it comes to myths and legends, we here at Almost Canon have always believed there’s some sort of truth behind the story and when it comes to a good...
