Obscure Anomalies

Could a species truly be considered "discovered" if the only evidence is video?  For this one creature the answer is yes. This brings up a really good question.  Cryptozoologist, UFOlogists, and Ghost Hunters are discredited by scientists because their evidence is photographic.  If we can now identify new species based just on video, will things change for the paranormal world?

What do you get if you cross an Among Us Character and a Zoo?  You get Space Penguins of Tuscumbia of course. What about if you cross an Among Us Character and Lumberjacks?  Well that would be the Kinnula Humanoid.

Belize.  A Caribbean country located on the Northeastern Coast of Central America.  Considered ‘Mother Nature’s Best Kept Secret'.  After all it is one of the world’s last unspoiled destinations with Jungle Adventures, gorgeous waterfalls, and over 900 Mayan sites.  Belize is also known to have some of the best dive sites in the Caribbean, which makes sense seeing as they have the second biggest barrier reef in the world.  But while beautiful, Belize is home to a legend.  One that you may consider Un-Belize-Able, and yes I had to do it.

Imagine the forest of every fairy tale you ever heard.  Dark, mysterious, foreboding.  The type of forest where people mysteriously disappear.  The type of forest that villagers speak of, but never go out of fear.  The type of forest whose name sends chills down your spine.  The type of forest with weird lights and strange noises. What if I said that forest exists in this world?  Would you believe me?  Would you even want to go?  What if I added, it is in Transylvania?  Are you still in?  Grab a seat on the imaginary plane as we travel to the  Bermuda Triangle of Romania.

**This is a re-upload and fixed version of Last Wednesday's episode.** Join me today as I get a chance to talk to Chris and Jen of Vanished. From America's Sweetheart to America's Villain, we discuss it all. Chris is the project director of Chasing Earhart, along with Vanished.  He has been obsessed with Amelia since he was in third grade.  So this man is knowledgable to know ends. Jen is a lawyer through and through.  Her addition to Vanished was an interesting one.   She brings the balance to Chris, especially as Chris loves the obscure theories. Vanished is a product of ChrisEvan Films. It is the perfect balance between theatrics, history, and radio drama.  The first season on Amelia is out now as is the trailer for season 2, Vanished: John Wilkes Booth.

On today's episode, I am joined by Adam Benedict of the Pine Barren Institute to discuss his first book Monsters in Print along with his website. Adam Benedict, a native Wisconsinite, is a designer by trade and a researcher by choice. Drawn to the weird at a young age thanks to the likes of Robert Stack and Leonard Nimoy, Benedict has spent a good portion of his life studying up on the weirder parts of history. Realizing that the knowledge he had gained might be of some interest to others, Benedict founded The Pine Barrens Institute in 2015. Since its creation, The PBI has become a well-received online gathering point for general Midwest Strangeness. So sit back, relax, and enjoy. Monsters in Print will make the perfect Christmas gift for the seasoned or budding Cryptozoologist.  Monsters in print can be found here (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YMYQJLV/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i0) .

Welcome to Season 2 of Obscure Anomalies. When it comes to a superstitious group of people, the realm of oceanic navigation might be on the top of its list.  In fact, many of the superstitions used by sailors have become common place in the world.  From “ Red Sky at night, Sailors delight; Red Sky in the morning, Sailors take warning,” to the idea of Friday being considered on of the most unlucky days to begin a voyage,” to Davy Jones’ Locker.  The list of good and bad superstitions is endless.  But there may be one legend that stands above all others, and this would be the Mysterious Flying Dutchman. Join me as we discuss the legends, the origins, and the sightings of the mysterious and otherworldly specter. #JOINTHEOBSCURE Proud member of STRAIGHT UP STRANGE Productions Follow Obscure Anomalies on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to stay up to date on the latest news and behind the scenes info.

A little shorter Episode this week than normal, but still a good one. On todays episode we travel back in time 14 years to when a rural Thailand farming community claimed to have an encounter with a small, red-eyed, yellowish entity frolicking in the air above the fields.  Was it an alien? A ghost? A cryptid?
