In this episode of the Anglotopia Podcast, Jonathan Thomas is joined by Professor Patrick Nunn — geographer at the University of the Sunshine Coast, honorary professorial fellow at the University of Melbourne, and visiting fellow at Oxford — for a conversation that will permanently change how you look at the map of Britain. Patrick's new book, Whispers from Celtic Seas, published this month by Reaktion Books, makes an extraordinary argument: the legends of drowned kingdoms off the coasts of Wales, Cornwall, Scotland, Ireland, and Brittany are not fantasy at all. They are testimony — eyewitness memories of real catastrophes, passed down by word of mouth for as long as eight thousand years, which would make them quite literally the oldest stories we have. Patrick explains how a conventionally trained scientist came to take myths as seriously as data (via Pacific island oral cultures and Aboriginal Australian traditions), walks Jonathan through the twelve-thousand-year-old Colinda harpoon dredged from the North Sea in 1931 that first revealed Doggerland, describes the Storegga submarine landslide that severed Britain from mainland Europe 8,200 years ago, and unpacks the real histories buried inside the stories of Cantre'r Gwaelod, Lyonesse, and the sea-crossing giants of the Celtic fringe. Along the way: two islands drawn on the 1360 Gough Map that no longer exist, an eighteenth-century Cornish parson who got there first, why stone circles may have been climate mitigation strategies, and the Welsh mudflats whose name translates as "the place of weeping."

Nunn — University of the Sunshine Coast Academic Publications Places & Things Mentioned The Gough Map (c.1360) — Bodleian Library, Oxford Doggerland — Wikipedia overview The Storegga Slide Cantre'r Gwaelod, Cardigan Bay Isles of Scilly Conwy Bay & Traeth Lafan (Lavan Sands), North Wales Outer Hebrides — VisitScotland North Uist & the Monach Islands Crater Lake National Park, Oregon (Mount Mazama) Friends of Anglotopia Club Takeaways Patrick Nunn's central argument is that the coastal legends of Britain, Ireland and Brittany — drowned kingdoms, giants, mermaids, land-making witches — are not invented fiction but encoded memories of real environmental catastrophes, passed down orally for thousands of years. His challenge to skeptics is to explain the implausibility of the alternative: that pre-literate peoples had the leisure time to invent elaborate fictions and consign them to the river of history. The moment of realization came in two stages. Working in the Pacific Islands, Patrick listened to elders recount stories for hours as if reading from a book — proving oral cultures can retain and transmit enormous quantities of information with total precision. Then, after moving to Australia in 2010, he encountered 34 separate groups of Aboriginal stories from around the entire coastline describing when the sea was further out and the ocean rose to cover the land — events that ended around 7,000 years ago, meaning the stories must be at least that old. The Crater Lake example is Patrick's clinching argument. When European settlers reached Oregon, the Klamath people told them a mountain once stood where the lake is, that two gods fought, and that the mountain collapsed. Mount Mazama erupted and collapsed 7,600 years ago. There is no alternative explanation for how that story survived. The Colinda harpoon — a twelve-thousand-year-old carved deer antler dredged from the floor of the North Sea by a Lowestoft trawler in 1931 — was the first widespread realization that people had once occupied the seabed between Britain and Europe. That landmass is now known as Doggerland, named for the Dogger Bank fishing ground. At the coldest point of the last ice age, around 20,000 years ago, the ocean surface stood roughly 400 feet (125 meters) lower than today. Doggerland was not a "land bridge" — its inhabitants did not think of themselves as living on a bridge. It was simply a vast inhabited landmass supporting fishing, hunting, and free movement of people, animals, and vegetation between what is now mainland Europe and the British Isles. Around 8,200 years ago, a huge section of the Norwegian continental shelf collapsed into the ocean depths — the Storegga Slide — displacing an enormous volume of water and generating tsunamis that struck Shetland, Orkney, Scotland, and the eastern seaboard of the British Isles. Driving south through the North Sea, it smashed passages through the already-shrinking remains of Doggerland. That event, in effect, created the British Isles. The Welsh legend of Cantre'r Gwaelod in Cardigan Bay — sixteen cities lost when King Gwyddno's steward got drunk and forgot to close the sluice gates — has a genuine kernel of truth. People certainly lived in that area 10,000 to 12,000 years ago when sea levels were tens of meters lower, and those places were genuinely submerged. The drunken steward is later decoration added to make the story entertaining; the submergence is the empirical core. The Gough Map of around 1360 — the oldest surviving map of Britain, held at the Bodleian Library in Oxford — shows two islands in Cardigan Bay that do not exist today. Patrick doesn't believe the islands still existed in the 1360s, but the memory of them was sufficiently compelling that the cartographer drew them anyway. Patrick's explanation for giants is one of the book's most striking ideas. When a memory became too implausible for later generations — people walking across what is now thirty miles of open ocean — the story adapted rather than died. The walkers became giants, and the giants grew larger as the ocean gaps widened. Giants weren't invented; they were brought into narrative tradition specifically to keep true memories credible. Patrick's two recommended places to stand and feel this history: Conwy Bay in North Wales, where the mudflats at its head are called the Lavan Sands, whose old name means "the place of weeping"; and the Outer Hebrides, particularly around North Uist, where 19th-century collectors recorded remarkably detailed stories about the Monach Islands — including the names of the last people to cross the land connection and those who drowned attempting it. That connection was submerged 6,800 years ago. Soundbites "I don't think people five hundred years ago or even five thousand years ago had the leisure time to develop elaborate fictions and then consign them to the river of history and pass them down through the ages." — Patrick on why he takes ancient stories seriously. "When we look at stories of mermaids and giants, we're really looking into the minds of people hundreds, even thousands of years ago — the way they conceived the world and the way they encoded their observations of deep time." — Patrick on what folklore actually preserves. "It became clear to me that people in oral cultures are in fact able to retain and organize and pass on huge amounts of information without the benefits of being able to write them down." — Patrick on the Pacific Islands research that changed his thinking. "These stories by default had to be at least seven thousand years old. And that really blew my mind, as I guess it would that of any conventional scientist. But I was always trained: let the data speak." — Patrick on the Aboriginal Australian stories of coastal drowning. "That volcano erupted seven thousand six hundred years ago. There is no alternative explanation for the Klamath story having been passed on since this cataclysmic event." — Patrick on Crater Lake, Oregon. "Why are you skeptical that a story can be passed down for thousands of years? You're skeptical because it doesn't happen today. We've forgotten, if you like, what our ancestors in oral societies did." — Patrick's response to skeptics. "That event, if you like, created the British Isles. It destroyed the land connection between the British Isles and mainland Europe around about eight thousand two hundred years ago." — Patrick on the Storegga Slide. "We laugh about the drunken steward and the duties he failed to perform. But the essence of that story is that there once existed inhabited places on the floor of what is today Cardigan Bay, and these places became submerged. And of course that's absolutely true." — Patrick on Cantre'r Gwaelod. "Those people became giants because that was the way you could rationalize these stories and make them credible to each new generation. And the giants became bigger and bigger through time because the ocean gaps became wider and wider." — Patrick on the origin of giants in Celtic folklore. "The old English name for the Lavan Sands means the place of weeping. There is so much sadness associated with the loss of land in the past, and some of that sentiment is preserved in place names." — Patrick on Conwy Bay, North Wales.

Mike's 1982 Oregon Bigfoot Encounter: Part 1In this episode, Brian welcomes Mike from New York for the first part of a terrifying encounter that has stayed with him for more than forty years. Mike begins by explaining how the Patterson-Gimlin film first sparked his interest in Bigfoot before taking us back to 1982, when he was traveling alone through Oregon on his way toward Crater Lake.After following a rough Forest Service road deep into the woods, Mike discovers two freshly fallen trees blocking the only way forward. Overcome by an intense and unexplainable sense of fear, he spends nearly ninety minutes cutting through roots and branches to clear a path.He eventually reaches an isolated, long-neglected campsite, where he sets up his tent, builds a fire, and settles in for the night.Another family later arrives nearby, lighting a massive bonfire and openly carrying a revolver. Not long after dark, something Mike assumes is a bear begins sniffing around his tent. When it presses close, he punches it through the fabric.Then the vocalizations begin.Soft, whispered “moo moo” sounds drift through the darkness and are answered by strange “bloop bloop” calls from another direction. The exchanges grow louder and more aggressive, followed by rock clacking and a powerful whoop so intense that Mike feels it strike his chest and cause the walls of his tent to billow inward. When Mike finally shouts into the darkness, everything goes silent. Moments later, the sounds begin again.Heavy footsteps approach the tent as though something is challenging him to come outside, forcing Mike to abandon camp and run for his car. When he reaches the other family's campsite, he finds it completely empty, their fire extinguished, and no sign of where they went.But instead of driving away, Mike makes a decision that could put him directly in the path of whatever is surrounding the campground.Be sure to come back Sunday for Part 2.Email BrianJoin Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

Crater Lake in Oregon is one of America's most beautiful natural wonders, but its history is filled with darker stories. Formed inside the collapsed remains of Mount Mazama, the lake is tied to Klamath sacred tradition, stories of Llao and Skell, vanished aircraft, an unsolved double murder, and the strange floating figure known as the Old Man of the Lake.The BOOKBY US A COFFEEJoin Sarah's new FACEBOOK GROUPSubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch Links:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/spooky-lakes-volume-2/id1379959217?i=1000697558240https://www.usgs.gov/geology-and-ecology-of-national-parks/geology-crater-lake-national-parkhttps://oe.oregonexplorer.info/craterlake/history.htmlhttps://www.nps.gov/crla/learn/nature/crater-lake.htmhttps://www.nps.gov/crla/learn/historyculture/index.htmhttps://www.craterlakeinstitute.com/smith-chronological-history-of-crater-lake/the-history-from-1900-to-1949/smith-history-98/https://www.craterlakeinstitute.com/smith-chronological-history-of-crater-lake/the-history-from-1950-to-1999/smith-history-135/https://www.craterlakeinstitute.com/crater-lake-new-archives/2000-3/2000-05-3/Thanks so much for listening, and we'll catch up with you again on tomorrow.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds," Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licenced under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licencehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

Travelers on the Kansas trail stopped at a lonely inn run by a family of Spiritualists — and the ones who sat in the seat nearest the curtain were never seen leaving it.

In this episode of Bigfoot Society, you'll hear a collection of firsthand Bigfoot encounters from across North America. A witness from the mountains of West Virginia shares ongoing nighttime activity around his home, including whoops, grunts, eerie baby-like cries from the woods, and unexplained events that have left an entire community on edge.You'll also travel to Butte Falls, Oregon, where an experienced hunter recounts an encounter involving a powerful unexplained odor, fleeing wildlife, and a series of tree knocks believed to be communication between unseen creatures. Another listener revisits a terrifying 1989 camping trip north of Crater Lake, where heavy bipedal footsteps approached within feet of their campsite before disappearing into the darkness.Additional reports come from Shelby and Gaffney, where unusual tracks, six-fingered handprints, broken trees, and ongoing activity continue to raise questions, along with encounters from Discovery Bay, Port Townsend, and Floras Lake that include chilling screams, whoop exchanges, and a close nighttime encounter around a remote campsite.These are real people sharing experiences that have stayed with them for years. Listen all the way through and decide for yourself what may be waiting beyond the tree line.

Linda uncovered an article about Crater Lake, Oregon, printed in the Winter 1980 edition of Beyond Reality Magazine. The magazine was published in Nanuet, New York, right here in the Hudson Valley, and misspelled the location as "Carter Lake."

Two unforgettable encounters from the Pacific Northwest take center stage in this episode of Bigfoot Society.A hiker exploring the rugged mountains of Washington's Olympic Peninsula describes a series of powerful four-part grunts that followed his group deeper into remote terrain before erupting from just beyond a wall of boulders. Years later, the experience still stands as one of the most unsettling moments of his life.Then travel back to Oregon in 1989, where two teenage backpackers stopped for the night at a quiet campground north of Crater Lake. Heavy bipedal footsteps entered their campsite, an unseen presence paused only feet away, and multiple eerie howls sent them racing into the night.These firsthand accounts are shared exactly as the witnesses remember them, offering another compelling look into the growing collection of experiences documented by Bigfoot Society.

Curt Dimmick returns to Crater Lake National Park as superintendent, with major infrastructure projects underway and the Cleetwood Cove Trail closed through 2029.

This podcast episode features a discussion with a Geological Survey and Services Program Manager Jason D. McClaughry regarding the unique characteristics of the Wildcat Mountain Caldera in Oregon. A caldera is described as a massive volcanic depression formed when a volcano collapses into its own emptied magma chamber. Unlike famous landmarks like Crater Lake, the Wildcat Mountain Caldera is approximately 41.8 million years old, meaning its circular shape has been hidden by millions of years of erosion. The experts use a puzzle analogy to explain how mapping and data collection allow geologists to reconstruct the history of these ancient, invisible landscapes.For more reading:DOGAMI Bulletin 108, Geology of the North Half of the Lower Crooked River Basin, Crook, Deschutes, Jefferson, and Wheeler Counties, Oregon, by Jason D.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by Topo Athletic, we sit down with Becca Beckham, trail name Little Bag, a Peace Corps veteran, thru-hiker and all around world traveler. Becca has hiked the Long Trail and PCT, and last year tackled the Colorado Trail, the Tour du Mont Blanc, and the GR20 in Corsica. In this one, Becca shares what it's like growing up in a military family bouncing across the country, to two years in Cameroon with the Peace Corps, to teaching English in France, to landing in the wonderful world of thru-hiking. She shares stories about floating a hippo-filled river in Central Africa, accidentally eating monkey, attending a rat festival, and what it's like to build community from scratch in a new place, over and over again. If you've ever wondered what it looks like to just keep saying yes, this is your episode. We wrap the show with some very big and ungood news for the future of this podcast- hint it involves Chaunce- hint it's probably what you think it is, hint we are all processing it together- hint it's not related to health or anything serious on that level- but yes it's sad and bad. We also share the tragic news about Ian MacLurg, a thru-hiker, Trek Blogger, and Trail Correspondent who recently passed away while hiking the PCT.  On a lighter note- we reveal details of a live podcast happening in Denver in late June, the triple crown of team sports, the funniest terms for boobs, and why Chaunce is looking at her phone all the time during the podcast.

A midnight drive through Oregon became a life-changing encounter when Jennifer and her family entered the remote Crater Lake corridor. First came the blinding lights in the forest. Then dozens of glowing eyes appeared along both sides of the road. Moments later, they stopped for something lying in the highway—a red-haired juvenile Sasquatch curled in the middle of the lane.Jennifer shares every detail of the night, why she refused to take a photo, and how years of research led her to discover that this stretch of Oregon is tied to countless reports of Bigfoot activity, strange lights, and unexplained phenomena.From Brookings to Highway 97, this episode dives deep into one of the wildest firsthand accounts ever shared on Bigfoot Society.If you've ever wondered what really moves through the forests of Oregon after dark, this is an episode you need to hear.

Author here! This an older, more cosmic underwater horror story of mine from two years ago, a two parter that got a lot of positive reaction on Reddit. It has some flaws, but I hope you enjoy it, and the upcoming second part as much as you did my Abandoned Ship story, Exploding Whale and Crater Lake stories MCP has done. And also, I hope you caught the tributes to horror movie characters, directors and writers with names like Carpenter, Alten, King and Windows.

#WDRadio WEEK OF FEBRUARY 01, 2026==========HOUR ONE: It all started one night in June 2018. The screams coming from underneath the house. It was so intense, the homeowners simply abandoned the property. I'll even share audio of the screams so you can decide for yourself if it's real. (Screams From The Basement) *** Weirdo family member Elis Helmersson shares a story passed down the generations about a true ghost sighting in her family. (My Great Grandfather Saw a Headless Ghost) *** Have investigators finally solved the strange disappearance of Pan Am's Flight 914?

(The Raven Mocker) *** Betsy's Mysterious Flowers *** A girl's younger sister keeps seeing things that don't exist – until the truth is revealed when older sis is moving out. (Secrets Between Sisters) *** It's called the Chronovisor – and it is said the device can look into events in the future as well as the past. Is it true? We may never know – the Vatican, the supposed owners of the device, are refusing to cooperate when questioned. (Does The Vatican Have a Time Machine?) *** An Alaskan hunter claims to have found a boy that had been kidnapped… not by humans or aliens, but by a mysterious creature knows as the ircenrraat. (Abducted By The Ircenrraat) *** It is considered to be one of the most beautiful lakes in the United States.

If oral traditions can preserve truth across millennia, we have to ask: what about the stories we still dismiss? Every culture on earth tells of beings who share this world with us but exist by different rules. The Irish Sídhe, the Icelandic Huldufólk, the countless traditions of little people and hidden folk that span every continent. We've been taught these are primitive fantasies. But we said the same thing about Troy. We said the same thing about the giant squid. At what point do we start wondering what else the old stories got right?​​Follow Viking Superpowers here! --- ​https://www.youtube.com/@vikingsuperpowers and get the book here ​https://www.amazon.com/Viking-Superpowers-Suppressed-Technology-Spacefaring/dp/1764091817/ref=sr_1_1​​If you are having a mental health crisis and need immediate help, please go to​ ​​​https://troubledminds.org/help/ and call somebody right now.

But since this actually happened and he saw what he saw (along with a witness) -- he has no choice but to leave the door to the paranormal open.

Send us a textHave you ever been to a place in California called Medicine Lake? It lies near Mount Shasta, its infamous cousin, but they both have volcanic parentage.

⁠Help keep our podcast going by contributing to our Patreon! Crater Lake is a caldera lake in the Cascade Mountains in Oregon—the remnants of an ancient volcanic eruption. It's the deepest lake in the country and one of the deepest in the world. And this place is steeped in lore: unexplained events, murders and suicides, disappearances and hauntings, and a strange 200-year-old floating log that probably controls the weather. But the history of this lake goes back even farther: to the volcanic eruption that created it 7,700 years ago. People were there to witness that event—and its memory is preserved, both in archaeology and an ancient mythological tradition that describes the eruption with scientific precision.

GO FUND ME TO HELP SCOT'S WIFE, HANNAH GET BACK ON HER FEET HERE - https://www.gofundme.com/f/nehemiah-3-many-hands-make-light-workWhat happens when a man trained to decode ancient rock art discovers that the symbols aren't just history — they're warnings?In this moving memorial episode, we revisit the life and field research of Scott Violette, Native American cultural anthropologist, Desert Storm veteran, and founder of Squatch America. Traveling across the country with his wife Hannah, Scott spent years uncovering the hidden connection between ancient pictographs and modern Bigfoot encounters.From the Blue Mountains to Wendigo Pass, Scott documented tribal stories that described Sasquatch not just as legend, but as living kin — sometimes a teacher, sometimes a killer. You'll hear about the time he tested their intelligence by leaving puzzles and toys in the forest — and returned to find 500-pound rocks rearranged in response.And after Scott's story, listeners share their own encounters — truckers, veterans, and wilderness workers who say they've seen what the rest of the world denies.A heartfelt tribute to one man's search for the truth — and the mystery he left behind.In this episode, Scot recounts his experiences from investigating sightings in the Blue Mountains of Oregon, where he encountered Bigfoot firsthand near Marble Creek. Discover how his studies of Native American pictographs have revealed ancient depictions of Bigfoot. Scot also shares his theory about Bigfoot as an older version of humans, and discusses the remarkable vocal abilities these creatures may possess, including infrasound. Hear about his travels across the U.S., from capturing reports in Texas to investigating hotspots near Crater Lake and Wendigo Pass in Oregon. Learn valuable tips for aspiring Bigfoot researchers and how Scot's unique, community-engaging approach, like holding Bigfoot town halls, helps gather vital information. Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, Scot's stories and insights will leave you captivated and curious.Resources:https://www.youtube.com/@SquatchAmericaSee Scot's Bigfoot finds here - https://squatchamerica.com/unique-bigfoot-finds-from-squatch-america/Scot's video on his pictograph find - https://www.youtube.com/live/nFLm4qRWVOUMore information on the Tule River Pictographs (with photos) - https://www.isu.edu/media/libraries/rhi/research-papers/Mayak-Datat-Hairy-Man-Pictographs-1.pdf

Boat tours on Crater Lake are among the top bucket list experiences in Oregon, but after this past summer, it will be a few years before they head back out on the water. On this week's episode of Peak Northwest, features reporter Janet Eastman recounts her ride on one of the last Crater Lake boat tours until 2029, which took her and a group of tourists around the blue-hued lake and to the famed Wizard Island. With the season now over and the trail that leads down to the boats about to close for a major renovation project, the boat tours will need to be pushed back to bucket lists in the future. But as Eastman's experience shows, it will be well worth the wait. Here are some highlights from this week's show: How being on the water offers a whole new perspective of Crater Lake. What it's like to hang out on Wizard Island. Boat tours offer not just scenic beauty but fascinating history as well. Why are the boat tours cancelled for the next few years?

Host Zach Urness breaks down how the government shutdown is impacting Oregon's public lands and three other news stories focusing on wildfires, salmon and Douglas fir trees. Urness talks about the status of national parks and monuments such as Crater Lake and the Painted Hills during the closure, before talking about how bad the 2025 wildfire season was compared to recent years. Finally, he talks about the rebound of coho salmon on the Oregon Coast and the historic "dieback" of Oregon's Douglas fir trees in southwest Oregon and in the Willamette Valley.

Author here! After the reception you guys had to my Crater Lake story a day ago, I'm hoping you'll like this series just as much! It's the first part of a four parter, one that is a slow burn in the vein of Alfred Hitchcock, with a mixture of horror, suspense, and thriller. It's one of my favorite stories I've written so far. And if you have a keen eye to the ending lines of this first part, you'll get the first inklings of where this is going! Enjoy! ~ J.L. Goodwin

Author here! It's been a hot minute since MrCreepyPastanarrated one of my stories, and especially since the popular Abandoned Ship story of mine, but here you guys are! It is one of my older ones, as I'm currently working on a new, rather ambitious project I'm wanting to turn into a manuscript, but I hope you enjoy it anyways! ~ J.L. Goodwin

Spooky Lakes time, everyone! Alaina brings us to Big Moose lake in New York State and shares the tragic story of Grace Brown's murder. Grace's ghost has been seen many times at the lake since she was murdered in 1906 and at the nearby Covewood lodge. We then follow Ash across the country to Oregon, more specifically Crater Lake in Crater Lake National park. Ash shares about all the mysterious disappearing planes, a double murder from 1952 and of course she could never forget the Old Man of the Lake.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
