PPR57: Ill Wind of the Wendigo
The booger boys approached the news with some levity, as much of the evening would be shrouded in icy darknesss. For- after a report from the Tennessee Wildman and CryptidCon- they focused on the cannibal monstrosity which has long haunted the northwest. This included a look at two humans who, some claim, fell into the pit of "Wendigo Psychosis".

PPR56: Ghosts on Parchment
We wished a/an (un) fond farewell to all trolls and hucksters.
The news segment spilled over into a thought experiment concerning time travel and UFOs. If we see tiny gaps in space/time, could particles such as photons be sent into the past? How would they materialize on the other side?
In a tribute to solid research, we welcomed Courtney Block to the cabin. A distinguished librarian, she educated us on paranormal collections and research methods.

PPR55: Invasion of Ghosts
The news reached the nadir of believability with the revelation of THE YETI BLOOD OATH! We also addressed the NEWSWEEK article that suggested all of us are stark raving airheads.
Then, Troy Taylor pulled up a chair. He reigns as author extraordinaire and founded the Haunted America Conference. He unpacked the incusion of yesteryear involving BLACK GHOSTS!

PPR53: Intruders and Hypnotists
At long last, after having the topic of alien abduction- a topic many see as passe- brought to their attention, the booger boys examined one of the most high profile cases: the Brooklyn Bridge Abductions of 1989. They also critiqued the research method associated with the phenomenon: hypnotic regression. Do either stand up to the challenge of logic and reason?

THE GRAND RETURN OF AARON CROWDER!!
The Ambassador of Reason helped LW unpack the news. Then they explored a pair of mysterious rampages: the Phantom Stabber of Bridgeport and the Mad Gasser of Mattoon. The second hour consisted of a delightful chat with Amy Bue as she discussed her amazing organization: Project Zoobook. It has serious implications for the scientific study of our friend, Bigfoot.

PPR51: Once BITTEN, Twice Conspiracy
Conspiracies and conspiracy theories have troubled humanity throughout history. They have cost lives and curtailed liberties. Do they continue into our postmodern, sensible world? Kris Newby thinks so, and we examined her book BITTEN, placing it in historical context and seeking an appropriate, reasonable approach of deducing what is going on behond the scenes.

This program is in memory of the crew of the USS Indianapolis.
With LW's fiftieth birthday on the horizon, and with a lump of nostalgia in his heart, the booger boys examine another entity reaching the half-century mark: Steven Spielberg's JAWS. The movie helped form the young holler booger, and is not without ties to the paranormal . . .

Prayers and condolences encouraged for Aaron Crowder after the loss of his mother.
Returning to the cabin with a spiffy new logo, LW and Patrick contemplated the horrors of Artificial Intelligence. Will it forcibly take over the Earth, or worse . . . will we give our world away?

Loretta Swit, November 4, 1937- May 30, 2025. Requiescant in Pace.
The holler booger boys banter about the (lack of) UFO news and the future of time travel. Then, enter a procession of specters and ghouls from our medieval past. What can such tales tell us about the nature of the soul and the quest to understand what lies beyond?

We perused the news in preparation for BIGFOOT MONTH! We also window shopped at Seymour's Captive Cryptids and heard his story while getting the inside scoop on his products.
Hour two belonged to Tobias Wayland, a Singular Fortean, who educated us on the Mothman outside of Point Pleasant. It seems the presence of "winged humanoids" has a far greater lineage, covers the globe, and is intent on spreading fear . . .

PPR37: Hopkinsville, Revisited
The year 1955 abounded in tales of small humanoids, each episode more bizarre than the last. L.W. and Aaron sort through many of these incidents, as recorded in the book Encounter at Kelly and Others of 1955, published by the Center for UFO Studies.
Dewey Edwards joins the conversation to unpack the ultimate example of this activity in our state: The Kelly/Hopkinsville Goblins. His latest book, Ten Hours of Hell, offers new insights into this affair.

PPR26: The Legend of “The Legend of Bigfoot”
Aaron and LW break the ice off their microphones to cover a bit of news, including the possibility of time travel, a one million year old jaw found by a dentist, and the release of one of the perpetrators of the 2014 Slenderman stabbing.
Afterward, the main (hairy) man in the cryptid rogues gallery takes center stage. A major award is handed out in Sasquatchery, and two Oregon men lose their lives searching for the beast. And Les Stroud is planning a documentary to answer The Question of Bigfoot. This leads to a perusal of Bigfoot i...
PPR25: The Maestro, Seth Breedlove
LW treads through the snow to the cabin with a heavy heart, the situations in California and North Carolina in mind. While one filmmaker keeps hope alive for the Tar Heels, Joe Rogan predicted doom for LA residents. The latter raises the question; how much of psychic ability is simple intuition?
What are the facts concerning the Anunnaki?

PPR24: To Enigma, or Not To Enigma
The boys return to the (snow covered) cabin to kickoff 2025! After offering condolences to a fellow Fortean, they discuss a disturbing development in Artificial Intelligence and the UK's "Bionic Girl". LW shares a personal reflection on the late "Mama Kingcaid"--a sorrowful story with a clear paranormal moral--and elucidates on the myth of the jackalope!
A close inspection of the Missing 411 phenomeon consumes hour two. Is there a mysterious element to the disappearence of so many in our national parks? Does even a single case point to the possibility of the fantastic? The late researcher Butch Witkowski provi...
PPR23: The Deadliest Animal
LW and Aaron suspect the news has reached the apex of incredulity as a “ silent” alien invasion takes place, Krampus roams our neighborhoods in search of naughty children, and a concussion leaves a young lady trapped in a two-hour memory loop. Oxford has also chosen their “Word of the Year”. Meanwhile, The Beast of Bladenboro is our CRYPTID OF THE WEEK.

LW and Aaron ponder humanity’s interactions with Artificial Intelligence, a discussion that sparks a call for a PHILOSOPHICAL RENAISSANCE! Then Ron Murphy pulls up a chair to introduce his new book on Earth lights, Lights in the Mist.

A critical and baffling element in UFOlogy remains the omnipresence of the owl. Why are these birds associated with sightings of strange craft and unknown beings?
