Our first episode... and already we are taking a vacation... to the Bahamas! We talk about the owl-like cryptid-pixie-imp thingy named the Chickcharney, such a magnificent beautiful creature, not at all weird looking...no really, don't offend it! It will curse you! This thing caused World War II, so it means business! Along the way we also discuss its doppelganger, the extinct owl species Tyto pollens, and how scientists are wrong just because I said so! ====================== Send us suggestions and comments to tracingowlspodcast@gmail.com Follow us on Instagram @tracingowls Intro sampled from "Something strange lurks in the shadows" by Francisco Sánchez (@fanchisanchez) Sound effects obtained from https://www.zapsplat.com (Episode image is heavily edited, the image owner reserves all rights to their image, and is not affiliated with our podcast) SOURCES: Wikipedia: Chickcharney Wikipedia: Tyto pollens Wikipedia: Bahamian hutia Cryptid Wiki: Chickcharney Cryptid World: Journey to Find the Chickcharney Owls, Part 3: Giant Fossil Owls and Chickcharney, by Lisa G.

Yet, when pressed, most people will divulge that either they or someone they are close to have experienced something that defies explanation. Usually only entrusted to their inner circle of confidants, these tales almost always stay closely guarded.Author Linda Godfrey (Real Wolfmen, Weird Michigan, etc.) has heard numerous unimaginable and bizarre accounts. One of America’s foremost authorities on modern-day monsters, Godfrey’s intensive research spanning twenty-three years has unearthed a repository of chilling tales from reliable eyewitnesses. In MONSTERS AMONG US: An Exploration of Otherworldly Bigfoots, Wolfmen, Portals, Phantoms, and Odd Phenomena (A TarcherPerigee paperback, on sale October 11, 2016), she shares some of these inexplicable reports, including:• A woman’s transformation into a wolf-like creature – in front of a church congregation of 200• A virtually transparent, 8-foot creature – seen by nearly fifty people in one community• A four-hundred-pound creature emerging from a portal – in front of a pair of scientific investigators• A shapeshifter trying to lure a girl into a manhole – also witnessed by her brotherAnalyzing each occurrence through an objective lens, Godfrey explores all possible explanations and analyzes factors impacting the environment, witnesses, and location. Utilizing logical, scientific, and imaginative concepts to elucidate these truly baffling accounts, Godfrey provides readers with the tools to draw their own conclusions and to reexamine their own understanding of the world around them.Link to book on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Monsters-Among-Exploration-Otherworldly-Phenomena/dp/0399176241/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8Linda's website: https://lindagodfrey.com/

In tonight's episode, Scott interviews journalist, author, and Paranormal Investigator Linda S. Godfrey. We discuss her latest book, Monsters Among Us: An exploration of otherworldly Bigfoots, Wolfmen, Portals, Phantoms, and Odd Phenomena. Linda has appeared on numerous TV shows such The History Channel's Monster Quest, Inside Edition, Sean Hannity and of course as a guest on the Coast to Coast AM radio program. She is the author of over a dozen books, such as Real Wolfmen: True Encounters in Modern America, American Monsters: A History of Monster Lore, Legends and Sightings in America, and Weird Michigan. If after considering all of the encounters Linda has researched and all of the witnesses she's interviewed, you conclude that monsters are indeed among us, you must also come to terms with the idea that they're everywhere, and it might just be a matter of time until you see one yourself. Tonight's Quote: “The beast grabbed my ankle tightly, but I managed to slip away from his fingers that were turning into longer, more strong nails or paws of some sort.” — Linda S.

For a change of pace, we present Linda Godfrey, author of a recent new book,“American Monsters: A History of Monster Lore, Legends, and Sightings in America.” According to the publisher, “From pre-Columbian legends to modern-day eyewitness accounts, this comprehensive guide covers the history, sightings and lore surrounding the most mysterious monsters in America — including Bigfoot, the Jersey Devil, and more.” As with our previous session with Linda, this episode will focus more on amazing and sometimes frightening case histories than just about theorizing.
