Podcasts about Dark Watchers

For centuries, travelers in California's Santa Lucia Mountains have reported seeing mysterious shadowy figures standing silently on distant ridges. Known as the Dark Watchers, these strange entities have become one of America's most fascinating and unsettling legends.But the mysteries don't end there.In tonight's episode of In the Dark: All Things Supernatural, we explore the chilling stories behind three infamous cursed objects:

A forest lookout sits alone in a glass tower at 2AM and spots flames crowning two distant pines — a fire only he can see. By dawn there's no smoke, no ash, no scorched earth... and no fire at all. From phantom flames that burn and vanish to the burned Bigfoot pulled from a Nevada blaze and the UFOs caught streaking through wildfire smoke, tonight we wander into the strange and unsettling things that appear when the forests burn.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources and full transcript): https://weirddarkness.com/ghostflamesREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yjwtx7awFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: The author of Frankenstein always saw love and death as connected. She visited the cemetery to commune with her dead mother. And with her lover. (Mary Shelley's Obsession With The Cemetery) *** A girl moves into a new apartment and discovers that a haunting doesn't necessarily have to be frightening. (Ghostly Happenings In My Old Apartment) *** The July 1886 murder at the Shawmut Avenue laundry was so shrouded in mystery that even the victim's name was uncertain. (The Wash-House Murder) *** Ghosts, high strangeness, and even Bigfoot – it appears they may all have something in common, and that would be forest fires. (Forest Fires and the Paranormal) *** How do you explain an experienced lookout reporting a blazing forest fire, only for it to disappear less than an hour later – leaving no trace?

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: March, 2021Weird Darkness opens a fire-themed descent that runs from a vanished forest blaze in 1976 Idaho through ghosts, Bigfoot, and UFOs born of wildfires, into Mary Shelley's graveyard education, a gentle apartment haunting, and an unsolved 1886 Boston murder.It opens with a U.S. Forest Service lookout stationed atop Pilot Peak in the Payette National Forest near Warren, high above the South Fork of the Salmon River, who woke sleepless at two a.m. in July 1976 and saw a bright orange triangle near a distant crest, then confirmed through binoculars two huge trees crowning out with flame. He calculated an azimuth with his fire-finder, radioed a two- to four-acre fire to the station fifteen air miles away, and watched it recede and vanish completely within forty minutes, leaving no smoke, no flame, and no charred ground at dawn six air miles out. Supervisors dubbed it the Pilot Peak phantom fire and sent smokejumper aircraft and hotshot crews to circle the ridge for nearly a week without finding a trace, until two months later a thousand-acre blaze on Zena Creek burned in roughly the same location he had reported.From there the episode widens into wildfires laced with the paranormal, beginning with the Curve Fire that struck South Mount Hawkins in the San Gabriel Mountains of California's Angeles National Forest on September 1, 2002, traced to a brittle 1935 wooden lookout tower and rumored to follow a cult ritual, after which hikers reported eyeless animals with hardened flesh and tall shadow figures akin to the Dark Watchers. It moves to the Battle Mountain Complex Fire near Battle Mountain, Nevada on August 6, 1999, where a letter forwarded to the Bigfoot Field Research Organization and a later call to investigator Thom Powell described firefighters capturing a burned, roughly seven-and-a-half-foot creature with a strong equine odor and near-human features. It closes with a July 2014 wildfire at West Kelowna near Vancouver, Canada, where a Castanet news video appeared to show an object shooting from a cloud, and a 2017 sighting by Arthur Frenette in New Hampshire's White Mountains, who watched a ball of fire plunge into Kinsman Ridge ahead of an out-of-control blaze.Next the episode turns to Mary Shelley, who in her 1831 introduction to Frankenstein traced her writing to her literary parents, though her mother, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman author Mary Wollstonecraft, died of puerperal fever days after her birth when Dr. Poignand removed the placenta with unwashed hands. Raised partly at her mother's grave in the St. Pancras churchyard, where she read her mother's work and escaped a strained home after father William Godwin remarried, the teenage Mary met Percy Shelley through the household and, at sixteen, declared love and reportedly first had sex among the tombstones. That fusion of reading, death, and forbidden knowledge surfaces in Victor Frankenstein's graveyard study of decay and in Godwin's 1809 Essay on Sepulchres, which framed visiting the illustrious dead as a form of communion the daughter carried into her novel of a creature assembled from corpses.From there the tone softens with a benign haunting recounted by a woman named Cassie, who moved into a larger, better-kept apartment over Christmas 2018 and lived there three months before moving in with her boyfriend. The internet blinked off repeatedly, cell reception failed in parts of the unit, electrical sockets quit working, bulbs burned out fast, and the shower switched itself on while she was away at classes. One night around one a.m. she and her boyfriend both heard the pitter-patter of bare feet in the kitchen, yet she never felt threatened, and when she left she said goodbye to whatever shared the space with her.The episode closes with the Wash-House Murder, the July 1886 killing of a Chinese laundryman found stabbed fourteen times in his Shawmut Avenue laundry in Boston's South End, his braided queue cut off and the five hundred dollars he had saved for a return to China gone. The victim's name was never certain, printed variously as Bin Chong, Ding Chong, and Wong Kong, and the case drew the Boston Police into a Chinatown governed by rival companies named Moy, Ching, Lee, and Sing. Detectives questioned the violent Moy company leader Ah Moy Chong and brought in New York interpreter Warry S. Charles, but the murder was never solved, and Charles himself was convicted of first-degree murder in 1908 after importing hatchet-armed assassins as a tong leader, leaving four dead in Chinatown.

In this stop on the Backwoods Cryptid Roadtrip, we drive into California and explore two of the most enduring cryptid traditions in North America. We begin in the Santa Lucia Mountains above Big Sur, where settlers, ranchers, schoolteachers, hikers, soldiers, and tourists have for centuries reported tall silent figures standing on the ridgelines.Known as Los Vigilantes Oscuros, or the Dark Watchers, these silhouetted beings appear at dawn or dusk, wear what witnesses describe as long cloaks and broad-brimmed hats, and vanish the moment anyone tries to close the distance. We trace the history of these reports through Salinan, Esselen, and Chumash traditions, into the Spanish mission era beginning with Padre Junipero Serra in seventeen seventy-one, and forward into the published work of John Steinbeck, whose nineteen thirty-eight short story Flight placed the watchers into American literature, and the poet Robinson Jeffers, who wrote of the same figures in his nineteen thirty-seven poem Such Counsels You Gave to Me.Then we travel north into the redwood country, into the Six Rivers, the Klamath, the Trinity Alps, and the Marble Mountain Wilderness, where the Hupa, Yurok, and Karuk peoples have spoken of Oh-Mah, the boss of the woods, for as long as their oral traditions reach back. We walk through the nineteen fifty-eight Bluff Creek story that gave the name Bigfoot to the world, beginning with bulldozer operator Jerry Crew, foreman Wilbur Wallace, and Humboldt Times columnist Andrew Genzoli, and we spend the bulk of the episode in encounter territory.Hunters who watched a hair-covered figure ford a creek and turn to look back. Families who heard screams answer each other across redwood campgrounds at midnight. Backpackers who listened to rhythmic wood-knocking trade across a Marble Mountain lake. Truckers who saw something step a guardrail in one stride on Highway 96. River guides on the Klamath, forestry technicians in the Trinity Alps, fishermen on the Smith River, hunters on the Mendocino, residents of the Hoopa Valley who simply live alongside what their grandmothers told them was there.This is a California most postcards never show. The watchers above, the giants below, and the question that connects them.Have you experienced a Bigfoot sighting, Sasquatch encounter, Dogman experience, UFO sighting, or any unexplained cryptid or paranormal event deep in the woods? We want to hear your story.Email your encounter to brian@paranormalworldproductions.com for a chance to be featured on a future episode of Backwoods Bigfoot Stories.Backwoods Bigfoot Stories is a paranormal storytelling podcast featuring real Bigfoot encounters, Sasquatch sightings, Dogman reports, cryptid experiences, and true scary stories from the backwoods.Follow the show and turn on automatic downloads so you never miss a chilling encounter from the forest.

Some say Zozo is just a trick of the mind, but after countless chilling Ouija board encounters and centuries of whispered warnings, maybe it's something far more sinister.EPISODE PAGE (includes sources and transcript): https://weirddarkness.com/SummoningZozoIN THIS EPISODE: The Zozo demon has allegedly harassed hundreds via their Ouija boards. But is this demonic force from the spirit world or from our own minds? *** Citizens of Van Meter, Iowa were confronted with a tall, human-like figure with bat-like wings, a single horn on its head, and it, apparently, was bullet-proof. What was this supernatural creature people were seeing? *** A bride-to-be becomes worried when her fiance disappears – so she contacts a psychic friend to see if she can help. *** Something sinister creeps into a Christian boarding house. *** Bram Stoker wrote his classic novel “Dracula” in 1897… but vampires are much, much older than that. *** A supposedly cursed doll has remained in the protection of one family for over four generations. But why would this family keep hold of such a demonic item? *** They are almost always silent, enigmatic figures usually seen at a distance up on ridges silhouetted against the darkening twilight sky, always at around dusk or dawn, quietly looking over and surveying their domain with unknowable purpose and often vanishing in the blink of an eye.

In the rugged Santa Lucia Mountains of California, a shadow has a name. For centuries, hikers have reported being watched by tall, motionless figures in broad-brimmed hats standing on distant peaks, only for them to vanish the moment they are approached.In this episode, we track the "Dark Watchers" from local campfire tales to the pages of John Steinbeck. We peel back layers of fabricated history to find the true origin of the legend, and confront the terrifying science that might explain why these phantoms refuse to disappear. hauntedamericanhistory.comBarnes and Noble -   https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-forgotten-borough-christopher-feinstein/1148274794?ean=9798319693334AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQPQD68SEbookGOOGLE: https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=S5WCEQAAQBAJ&pli=1KOBO: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-forgotten-borough-2?sId=a10cf8af-5fbd-475e-97c4-76966ec87994&ssId=DX3jihH_5_2bUeP1xoje_SMASHWORD: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1853316 !!

Friends, we are firmly entrenched in Fall and it's high time we finally review Riley Silverman's "Dark Watchers of California" from Big Finish! Susie, fleeing a traumatic experience back in San Francisco, heads south to Big Sur (circa 1966...sur-ca, maybe?), but not only is she being pursued by the law, but she's also seeing the legendary Dark Watchers in the woods around her cabin. While on a hike, she crosses paths with The Doctor and Bill. Can our Team TARDIS help Susie fend off Finch and heal herself as well?

Around 21,000 years ago during the last ice age, many scientists agree that a huge land bridge existed which stretched between North American Alaska and Russia.This is now the location of the Bering Sea. It is widely believed that this land bridge enabled human settlers to migrate from the Asian Continent and to begin to forge a new life in this huge new world. But during their incredibly dangerous journey, did these early explorers unknowingly invade the territory of a mysterious creature, one that now features in almost all Native American fokelore?Stories and sightings of this mythical beast continue to crop up even today, ranging from fleeting glimpses, to full on encounters. This legendary creature is know by many different names including Dark Watchers, Ts'emekwes, Skoocooms and Sasquatch...but you and I know it better as Bigfoot...Do you have an interesting story which you'd be willing to share with the show?

Howdy, campers! In this spine-chilling episode, we delve into the eerie phenomenon of the Dark Watchers and the Night Marchers. Imagine being alone in the dead of night, sensing an ominous presence, and hearing the distant sounds of drums and chants. These tales, rooted in Native American and Hawaiian lore, explore the mysterious entities that haunt the shadows. We begin with the enigmatic Dark Watchers of California's Santa Lucia Mountains. These towering shadowy figures, often seen at dusk or dawn, have been part of local legends for centuries. From Native American oral traditions to Spanish settlers' accounts, and even immortalized in the works of John Steinbeck and Robinson Jeffers, the Dark Watchers continue to mystify those who encounter them. Are they mere optical illusions, or something far more sinister? Next, we journey to Hawaii to uncover the legend of the Night Marchers. These spectral warriors, said to be the spirits of ancient Hawaiian chiefs and warriors, march through the night, heralded by the sounds of conch shells and war drums. Those who encounter them must show proper respect to avoid a violent death. Are they guardians of ancient traditions, or something even more otherworldly? Join your camp counselors, Tyler Bence and Woody Brown, as they share spine-tingling stories, dissect various theories, and try to unravel the mysteries of these shadowy entities. Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, this episode is packed with eerie tales and thought-provoking insights that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

IN THIS EPISODE: Did the Comanche Indians defeat a race of white, red-haired giants? (White Giants) *** The Illini people have had numerous encounters with a mysterious dragon-like creature that existed thousands of moons before the pale face came. (Piasa - The Native American Dragon) *** The Cherokee have an interesting tale of how disease and medicine came into existence – and the story also explains why Native Americans respect all life. (The Legend of the Little Deer) *** The Cherokee people talk of an ancient light-skinned people whose blue eyes were so sensitive to light that they lived in the dark, underground. (The Moon-Eyed People of the Cherokee) *** The Chumash Indians in California first spoke of the dark watchers in legends and their artists painted images of them on cave walls. Who or what were they? (The Dark Watchers) *** Native Americans in North America have a well known cryptid that is believed to live even today – it's cannibalistic, it can shapeshift, and it's called the Wendigo. (Wendigo – The Native American Cannibal) *** All cultures have tales of heroes defeating evil. The Algonquian tribe is no different – and their mythical hero defeated evil sorcerers and the sorcerers' demon followers.

This month we're talking about the dark watchers of the Santa Lucia mountains in Big Sur, California. We talk about Steinbeck and a little about the art scene at the end.

IN THIS EPISODE: The Zozo demon has allegedly harassed hundreds via their Ouija boards. But is this demonic force from the spirit world or from our own minds? *** Citizens of Van Meter, Iowa were confronted with a tall, human-like figure with bat-like wings, a single horn on its head, and it, apparently, was bullet-proof. What was this supernatural creature people were seeing? *** A bride-to-be becomes worried when her fiance disappears – so she contacts a psychic friend to see if she can help. *** Something sinister creeps into a Christian boarding house. *** Bram Stoker wrote his classic novel “Dracula” in 1897… but vampires are much, much older than that. *** A supposedly cursed doll has remained in the protection of one family for over four generations. But why would this family keep hold of such a demonic item? *** They are almost always silent, enigmatic figures usually seen at a distance up on ridges silhouetted against the darkening twilight sky, always at around dusk or dawn, quietly looking over and surveying their domain with unknowable purpose and often vanishing in the blink of an eye.

I was asked about the Albatwitch, and the Vegetable Man. I'd never heard of either, so I did what I do, I researched. The Albatwitch is a small, hairy creature that eats apples. The Vegetable Man was an alien that attacked a man in 1975. I also looked into the Beast of Bladenboro, the Dark Watchers, and the Hodag.  Here are some little-known encounters with the strange.

Examples of Evidence of the presence of Dark Watchers on Earth maybe few and far in between but the examples are quite compelling. From the discovery of giant humanoid bones to the secrets hidden by the Smithsonian, the Vatican, and Mystery Babylon cults who are more than capable of hiding such evidence. It leaves a lot of room for further discovery and it validates the questioning of the narrative we have given. But where are the Dark Watchers today? Have they left any evidence behind that we don't know about? And who was Sir Charles Warren? Why did they hide his discovery pertaining to the Dark Watchers on Mount Hermon?

Imagine hiking through the mountains of California only to discover you're being watched in the distance by a large, shadow entity. That is exactly the lore of the Dark Watchers, these tall shadow figures that are known to gaze at hikers in the Santa Lucia Mountains. But, could they be real?

He is usually seen in bedrooms during sleeping hours, but we share some stories where he is actually seen outside. We discuss the origins of this strange phenomenon. We share eyewitness testimonies, discuss similarities and even talk about the strange correlation the Hatman seems to have with the phantom Dark Watchers.
