This week Josie shares her experience of seeing a cryptid fly overhead. We also ponder a few other odd sightings of possible cryptids in the state of Colorado. Have you seen what we have?

We had the opportunity to sit down with Greg Walter, author of Ridgewalkers: In Two Worlds. Greg talks to us about his personal encounter and extensive research into the cryptid popular culture knows as Bigfoot, but what we find is that this entity may actually be so much more than we realize. Greg also introduces us to a type of entity neither of us had ever heard of: The Little People or The Immortals. We hope you enjoy our discussion about the sacred elements of these creatures as much as we did.

The Fear Factory in Salt Lake City, Utah, is not your average haunted attraction. The address begins with 666, which should have been a suitable warning for the cement factory that originally occupied the space in the 1800's. Cursed by horrific deaths due to dangerous factory equipment, the cement company eventually closed its doors, leaving its six buildings and two underground tunnels to become a city for the homeless until it was transformed into the world-famous Fear Factory in 2011. Plagued by paranormal activity, there's a reason you have to sign a waiver to get in. Enter at your own risk...

The Annabelle movie franchise comes from terrifying origins. The real Annabelle is no more than a simple Raggedy Anne doll from 1970, when she was gifted to a young nursing student by her mother. Activity builds slowly until eventually Ed and Lorraine Warren get involved and confirm the three signs of demonic activity from the doll: Teleportation, materialization and the "mark of the beast".

Located along the Ohio River, the Bellaire House was built in 1847. It sits on top of both a ley line and an abandoned coal mine, close to sacred Shawnee burial caves and beneath a powerful planetary alignment. Consumed by grief after his sister's passing in 1947, Edwin Heatherington conducted dozens of seances in hopes of making contact beyond the grave. These activities resulted in numerous portals being opened throughout the home, letting in human spirits and non-human entities alike. The home is wildly active with paranormal phenomena to this day. In part 1, we talk about why you shouldn't cross the sinister Emily Davis entity. Next, we share the incredible séance that connected to beings who referred to themselves as Star People.
