    The Timber podcast is an absolute gem for anyone who enjoys a thrilling combination of true crime, cryptozoology, and the strange and unexplained. Each well-researched episode leaves you wanting more, as the only problem with this podcast is that it is too short. The host, Tyler, expertly explores a range of topics and delivers them with a soft-spoken narration that adds to the eerie atmosphere. It's like listening to a spooky bedtime story that will send chills down your spine. The research and presentation are top-notch, making each episode feel like an immersive experience into the world of the unknown.

    One of the best aspects of The Timber is how meticulously well-researched each episode is. Tyler clearly puts in a significant amount of work to ensure accuracy and depth in his storytelling. This attention to detail shines through as he presents listeners with stories that are not run-of-the-mill or barely researched nuggets but rather the real deal. Whether it's true crime cases or regional spooky folklore, Tyler goes above and beyond to bring forth compelling narratives that keep you engaged from start to finish.

    Furthermore, Tyler's storytelling abilities are truly impressive. He has a knack for setting the scene and creating an ambiance that heightens the fear appropriate for the stories being told. His soothing yet spooky voice draws you in and keeps you on the edge of your seat, eagerly awaiting each twist and turn. The music and sound effects used in this podcast only add to its allure, taking it to an even higher level of immersion.

    However, if there was one downside to The Timber podcast, it would be its length. As mentioned earlier, each episode feels too short due to its captivating nature. It leaves you craving more information and eager for further exploration into these fascinating topics. While this may be seen as a testament to how engaging the episodes are, some listeners may find themselves wishing for more content per episode.

    In conclusion, The Timber is a podcast that should not be missed. Tyler has created something truly special with his unique blend of true crime, cryptozoology, and regional spooky folklore. The well-researched stories and expert delivery make for a captivating listening experience. The only drawback is that each episode feels too short, leaving you wanting more. If you enjoy being immersed in tales of the unknown, make sure to give The Timber a listen and show your support for this exceptional podcast.

    Every culture has a legend about werewolves. The Greeks have King Lycaon. The Romans have Moeris. The Norse have Sigmund and Sinfjotli. The list goes on and on. Loup-garous, vukodlaks, skin-walkers, Lobizons, Kurtadams, and the Beasts of Bray Road have been terrorizing humans for centuries. The State of Michigan is home to one of these fearsome beasts. Is it a flesh-and-blood animal brought into the open by deforestation? Is it a partially-psychic phenomenon like Bigfoot or the Mothman? Is it the king of the Anishinaabe underworld, visiting our realm to feed? Is it an ultraterrestrial being who normally resides in the dimensions next to ours, but can be seen by us when the veil is thin? In the case of the Michigan Dogman, the answer to all these questions might be "Yes". _________________________________________ Episode Written and Produced by Tyler Liston Music used with full permissions and licenses from Artlist.io _________________________________________ Want to be a part of a future bonus episode of The Timber?

    "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth". There are 4.8 billion people alive that believe this to be an accurate description of how our world came to be. In the 1920's, there was a man living in Detroit who believed that the true creation story was VERY different than the one were given in the Book of Genesis. So, he wrote his own. Soon, hundreds were coming to him for religious teaching, magic rituals, curses, hexes, and love potions. He was living the American dream, until one day in 1929 when someone broke into his home and murdered everyone inside with an axe. Someone who has never been caught.

    In the year 985 C.E., a group of Viking settlers led by Erik the Red settled on the frozen tundra of Greenland. Against all odds, they thrived there for almost 500 years. Then, they disappeared without a trace and without warning. Did they starve after the onset of the Little Ice Age? Were they wiped out by their neighbors to the North, the Thule Inuit? Did they cut off all communication, move deep into a frozen fjord, and continue to live out their lives there like a Norse version of "The Village"? Or, did they venture too far North, finding themselves lost in the realm of Niflheim? While there, did they stumble across the bubbling and roaring whirlpool Hvergelmir, and get sucked down into Hel? This is the story of the disappearance of the Norse Greenlanders, a mystery on par with the lost colony of Roanoke, and how one of the world's most famous cartographers and geographers might have proven that Norse mythology is real. _________________________________________ Episode Written and Produced by Tyler Liston Music used with full permissions and licenses from Artlist.io _________________________________________ Want to be a part of a future bonus episode of The Timber?

    In the fall of 1939, a mysterious being terrorized the streets of Provincetown, Massachusetts. As the season went on and the incidents became more and more violent, many started to believe that the thing haunting their town was the same entity that prowled the streets of Victorian London a century earlier.

    This is the story of the less-dead. This is the story of how sex workers, and those caught in the throes of drug addiction are viewed as less-than-human. This is the story of our failure to protect those who need us the most. This is the story of how reluctant we are to look into the shadows, and how this allows the monsters who call the darkness home to operate freely. This is the story of the New Bedford Highway Killer.

    The city center of Boston might house some of the world's finest doctors and scientists, there are still wide swaths of land in this state where the boundaries between science and magic are blurred. Where fact and fiction blend until the world around you becomes unrecognizable. One such place is probably the most paranormally active areas in the entire country. It has UFO sightings, cryptids, curses, poltergeists, and vengeful spirits. Many of you have probably already heard of this area, thanks to an early episode of The Last Podcast on the Left, but what you might not know is that every single one of these phenomena all spring from the same well.
