After the phenomenal success of Jaws, other filmmakers smelled the blood in the water, making horror movies that essentially rip off the original film. So this week, John and I take a look at some of our favorite Jaws rip-offs! There's more sharks, killer whales, alligators & crocodiles, piranha, and even a grizzly bear! Plus we discuss how these films drew inspiration from historical events, cryptozoology, Forteana, and urban legends, like the shark attacks in Matawan Creek, New Jersey, and the alligators in the sewers of New York City! Are these rip-offs? Homages? Or simply inspired by Jaws? Let us know what you think in the comments!

Before the X-Files, before Bigfoot reality shows, before your uncle went down a YouTube rabbit hole and now won't shut up about lizard people—there was Charles Hoy Fort. A man who spent his life collecting the weirdest, wildest, and most WTF-worthy stories that science tried (and failed) to explain. From raining frogs to UFOs before they were even called UFOs, Fort cataloged it all and basically invented the field of Forteana—aka the study of all things bizarre, spooky, and questionably sane. AKA our bread and butter! But who was Fort? A misunderstood genius? A professional weirdo? The first-ever Reddit or 4 Chan mod? Join us as we dive into the life, work, and general badassery of the man who made the strange, well… stranger. Spoiler alert: he burned a lot of his own work: was it because even he couldn't believe what he was writing? Or it was all true and the powers that be made him do it? That's for you to decide... Buckle up, because this week we're getting Fortean as hell on Hysteria 51.

In the summer of ‘68, while stalking woodchuck in the West Virginia wilds, a teenage Jennings Frederick would come face-to-gargantuan-green-face with a bizarre, blood craving, botanical behemoth who he dubbed the “Vegetable Man.” Though this incredible incident was just the latest in a series of a puzzling paranormal episodes that plagued this young hunter, it would be the one that would—with the help of infamous author and ufologist Gray Barker—forever ever etch Frederick's name in the hallowed halls of Forteana.  The Cryptonaut Podcast Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/cryptonautpodcast  The Cryptonaut Podcast Merch Stores:Hellorspace.com - Cryptonautmerch.com  Stay Connected with the Cryptonaut Podcast: Website - Twitter - Facebook - Instagram - YouTube

This week on Black Hoodie Alchemy, we have a podcast-swaparoo with my homie Joe Rupe, host of Lighting the Void, and we're both celebrating the fresh release of my audiobook Dive Manual: Empirical Investigations of Mysticism. With the paperback released in 2020, Joe has lended his narration and editing talents to help me bring this book into audio form, and since he took the time to read the entire thing -- including all the outtakes and re-reads -- he now has quite a bit to say about it all. I admittedly have a hard time explaining this book briefly, but it is data-driven research about my own investigations into mysticism, magick, and the religious experience. I look heavily into scientific concepts like Jungian psychoanalysis, sleep paralysis, dream analysis, phantom limb syndrome, memetics, and chaos theory. In addition, I also investigate the mechanics and history of things like alchemy, astrology, tarot, numerology, reincarnation, the Trees of Life & Death, Hermeticism, Gnostic Christianity, Taoism, Buddhism, Kabbalah, Paganism, and much more. Lastly, it has at times a semi-fictional framework that includes me as the narrator guiding you as the reader through the proverbial diving experience. There's more I could say, but I will leave it at that for now! It's a winding journey about insanity, neuroticism, catharsis, unexplainable phenomena, and ineffable transcendence. Don't forget -- if you dig Dive Manual, check out my second work Hunt Manual: 21st Century Demonology & Forteana. Joe has plans to bring this to audiobook form soon as well!

The impact of Victorian writer and researcher Charles Fort on the world of the anomalous is nothing less than astounding. For the first time in the history of scientific enquiry Fort had given the unexplained validity by providing it with a category of its own. He fought fervently against scientific reductionism and managed to document what would in later years become scientific fact i.e. ball lightning. Jay and Aspasia look briefly at his successors. William R. Corliss, Rev Lionel Fanthorpe, and Fort's Great Grand nephew Pat Spain. They also trace the history of the world's longest running magazine dedicated to Forteana, Fortean Times on its 50th Anniversary.

Richard Sauder is a native Virginian, with an abiding interest in Forteana, unusual information and anomalous paradigm-busting data of all varieties. Beginning in early childhood he has experienced first-hand contact with a variety of paranormal phenomena that have left him a bit puzzled, flummoxed and thoroughly persuaded that there is much more to the Earth and to human perception and consciousness than the mainstream American culture believes. Some of Richard's favorite research and reading interests are underground and underwater bases and tunnels, electronic mind control, Freedom Technology, UFOs, E.T.s, human prehistory and remote antiquity, international politics, the Kundalini energy and alternative thought patterns. He presently resides in Ecuador."

First, Celestia goes over her high points and low points of CSI Con 2023, then we move on to a few tidbits Ben came across. Sharon Hill joins us again, this time for a main segment on Gef the talking mongoose, a celebrity on the Isle of Man back in the 1930s. A new movie delves into (and somewhat mangles) the mystery, featuring Simon Pegg as Nandor Fodor and Christopher Lloyd as Harry Price. The "mystery" of Gef tapdances around so many facets of Forteana... a talking animal, "earth spirit," clairvoyance, poltergeists, psychic manifestations, and a clever young girl with time on her hands. With Sharon's help, we go over what the records say, what British libel law curtailed the records from saying, and what the movie tries to say today.

VYS0029 | If There's Something Strange In Your Neighbourhood - Vayse to Face to Face with Field Lines Cartographer and Bob Freeman: Halloween 2023 - Show Notes Four middle-aged men bravely join forces to confront ancient evils, spooks, spectres and ghosts - ok, so, Vayse did Ghostbusters last Halloween but instead, this year, Hine and Buckley welcome back master of the liminal soundscape, Field Lines Cartographer and the Occult Detective himself, Bob Freeman to sit around the virtual camp fire as they each tell a ghost story from their home towns. FLC tells a tale of Warwickshire plague pits and feelings of stalking dread in the dark, Hine recounts a gruesome murder in Preston which led to bloody revenge from beyond the grave, Bob spins a classic American yarn of haunted houses in the deep, dark woods of rural Indiana and Buckley tells of the spirit of a young boy who haunts the picturesque town of Great Corby bringing those who encounter him great fortune followed by certain death. The conversation also turns to whether ghosts are actually, really all that scary, the differences between ghost stories in the UK and the US, the nature of reality itself (of course, this is Vayse)... and digitally transported flies... (Recorded 10 October 2023) Thanks again to Keith for the show notes and thanks to everyone for listening - please tell a friend (or benignly neutral acquaintance) and ask them to do the same!

VYS0026 | It's a Wand-erful Life - Vayse to Face with Douglas Batchelor Pt. 1 - Show Notes Hine and Buckley are back for the first episode of season 2 and they've brought Douglas Batchelor along with them! Doug is the host and creator of the incomparable What Magic is This? - a podcast about Magic, the Occult, the Esoteric, the Paranormal, the Supernatural and the Weird and surely the single most frequently mentioned magical resource throughout the first season of Vayse. In the first part of this two-part, slightly giddy interview, the roots of Doug's magical life are revealed as he talks about how he graduated from being a disillusioned materialist teenager to a punk-rock chaos magician to a self-styled-necromantic-performative-ritual-magician with an awesome occult podcast. The conversation bounces around: from synchronicities to Bob Ross, from how to start your own magical practice to Hot Wheels skating gear, from podcasting as a work of magic to the psychic influence of the Lost Boys soundtrack... and all whilst Hine and Buckley try their best to uncover and assimilate the source of Doug's seemingly inexhaustible enthusiasm and positivity... Recorded 3 August 2023 Big thanks go to Doug for being so generous with his time and enthusiastic with sharing his knowledge - we were not expecting for this to be a double episode!!! And thanks as always to Keith for the show notes! Give Keith a follow on Twitter @peak_flow for electronic music and weird stuff. Douglas Batchelor/What Magic is This?

  Wednesday night live, The Outer Realm welcomes for the first time, special guest Dr. Arlan Andrews Sr. Discussion : Dr. Andrews Book " KILLARUMIYOQ- Lost Secrets of the Shadow Machine" About Dr. Arlan Andrews Sr. An Ancient Enigma of Peru - RevealedA retired Professional Engineer, Dr. Arlan Andrews, Sr., held positions at White Sands Missile Range, the White House Science Office, Bell Telephone Laboratories, Sandia National Laboratories, and Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, Texas, in addition to co-founding several technology companies, one of which was listed on NASDAQ. A Life Member of the Science Fiction Writers of America (SFWA), Arlan has published over 500 articles, stories, books and columns in science fiction and on the subjects of ancient civilizations, UFOs, Forteana, the paranormal, futurism, technology, politics and humor, in over 125 venues worldwide. He was interviewed on the TV series Ancient Aliens for the episode “Ancient Engineers” and for other TV appearances in Canada and France. He is the proud author of the often-quoted sentence, “The first true spaceship will take off and land the way God and Robert Heinlein intended...”, a tribute to the DC-X reusable rocket, the launches of which he covered at White Sands as a correspondent for The New Scientist Magazine. In 1992-1993, Arlan was a Fellow at the Office of Science and Technology Policy of the Executive Office of the President, where he wrote the first Federal endorsement of nanotechnology.

Arlan was a Mechanical Engineering Consultant for the Mutual UFO Network and for the Aerial Phenomena ResearchOrganization (APRO). He served several years as a Member of the Board of Directors of the Rhine Research Institute, Durham, North Carolina, and is currently a Vice President of the Ancient Kentucke Historical Association. Investigations have taken him to Egypt, Saudi Arabia, England, Scotland, Mexico, and Peru. His trips to the Sacred Valley of Peru led to the discovery and analysis of an ancient solar calendar, the details of which are revealed in his latest book, Kllarumiyoq: Lost Secrets of the Shadow Machine. Arlan received his B.S., M.S., and Sc.D. degrees from New Mexico State University, where as an undergraduate engineer he was a co-op student and missile tracker at White Sands. Retired since 2013, he is married, with six children, eleven grandchildren, and one great-grandchild who lives in Hong Kong.

This week, we are joined by friend of the show and host of Our Strange Skies podcast, Rob Kristofferson. He's been at this a long time and it shows. His knowledge of the history of ufology and cryptozoology really is something to marvel at. But this is not just a recounting of case files. We get down to business discussing our personal perspectives on the nature of any and all paranormal happenings. This was a fantastic talk. Go support Rob in everything that he does!

Marvel and cringe at this collection of curious cases presented from a favorite Victorian volume. Tonight's episode includes a bit of proto-Forteana, namely the anomolies left in the wake of a particular lightning strike that fell on a small town in Hertfordshire in 1777. We also have  brief look at the wicked deeds of those popes … Read More Read More The post A House Struck by Lightning and Other Curiosities appeared first on Bone and Sickle.

Joining me for this episode of the podcast is previous guest and good friend of the show Matt Hopewell, AKA AP Strange. AP is a paranormal researcher, writer and self-described Discordian Flying Saucer Enthusiast, Certified Kook, Donut Wizard and Master of Mystical Flapdoodle. He has a distinctly fun and light-hearted method of exploring Forteana on his blog 'AP Strange's Weird Writings', with articles on an impressively varied array of unusual subjects. In the interview I talk with him about his approach to researching the paranormal and how helpful a sense of humour can be when doing that. Our conversation is a wide-ranging one, covering cryptids, poltergeists, UFOs, Star Trek, ancient Greece, the ideas of Robert Anton Wilson and much more.   AP Strange's Weird Writings can be found at https://www.apstrange.com/.   If you would like to support the upkeep of Some Other Sphere, you can make a donation via Ko-fi.

This week, we're sitting down with one of the 38 hosts of Spooks, Creeps, and Assorted Devilry; Rick Belcher. We got together for one reason and one reason only: religion. We talk faith in forteana, the adoption of the paranormal as a religion, the nature of ghosts, a little of our personal histories with religion, and we bond over a shared hatred of tv evangelists. Go and support Rick in everything that he does. Enjoy! Campfire: Tales of the Strange and Unsettling is created for adult audiences only.

This week, we had the distinct pleasure of welcoming a new friend to show. It isn't very often that you come across someone with a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering that is assessing Forteana through a sociological lens but Chris Cogswell, the host of the Mad Scientist Podcast, is just that. We had an amazing talk about the development and societal implications of folklore throughout history, the importance of recognizing the roles we play in that development and the possible effects of modern folklore on the future. Chris is an infectiously gregarious guy. Talking with him was an absolute pleasure. Get ready for a good time.   Campfire: Tales of the Strange and Unsettling is created for adult audiences only.

This week, we're beginning our long-awaited series that on one of the most incredible time periods in American history. Many fans of Forteana are familiar with the Mothman, but precious few are aware of how truly mind blowing the flood of Fortean phenomena that surrounded those events in Point Pleasant, West Virginia were. This, our opening salvo on the Mothman mythology, attempts to lay that groundwork. Setting the scene for the Mothman's arrival with a bewildering series of UFO sightings and alien encounters.

My special guest tonight is author and researcher Brent Raynes, who's here to discuss the late John Keel and the many years he spent looking into strange phenomena.     Brent Raynes is the author of Visitors from Hidden Realms (2004), On The Edge of Reality (2009), and John A. Keel: The Man, The Myths, and the Ongoing Mysteries (2019). He is the editor of the online magazine Alternate Perceptions (apmagazine.info) and has been researching and investigating UFOs and other high-strange phenomena for 55 years, going back to age 14. He has worked with the Dr. Edgar Mitchell Foundation for Research into Extraterrestrial and Extraordinary Encounters (FREE), contributed a chapter for their book Beyond UFOs (2018), and worked with the UFO Contact Center International.     John Alva Keel, born Alva John Kiehle (March 25, 1930 – July 3, 2009), was an American journalist and influential UFOlogist who is best known as the author of The Mothman Prophecies.  Early life[edit]  Keel was born in Hornell, New York, the son of a small-time bandleader. His parents separated, and his grandparents raised him. He was interested in magic and had his first story published in a magicians' magazine at age 12. He left school at 16 after taking all the science courses.  He was a freelance newspaper contributor, scriptwriter for local radio and television outlets, and author of pulp articles such as "Are You A Repressed Sex Fiend?" He served in the US Army during the Korean War on the staff of the American Forces Network in Frankfurt, Germany. He claimed that while in the Army, he was trained in psychological warfare as a propaganda writer.[1]  Career[edit]  After leaving the military, he worked as a foreign radio correspondent in Paris, Berlin, Rome, and Egypt.  In 1957, he published Jadoo, a book describing his time in Egypt and India investigating the Indian rope trick and the legendary yeti. 1966, he produced the "spy and superhero" spoof novel The Fickle Finger of Fate. Influenced by writers such as Charles Fort, he began contributing articles to Flying Saucer Review, investigated UFOs, and assorted Forteana as a full-time pursuit. Keel analyzed what he called "windows" and "waves" (or flaps, as they are often called) of reported UFO events, concluding that a disproportionate number occurred on Wednesdays and Saturdays.[2] A member of the Screenwriters Guild, Keel reportedly wrote scripts for Get Smart, The Monkees, Mack & Myer for Hire, and Lost in Space.[3]  In 1967, Keel popularized "men in black" in an article for the men's adventure magazine Saga, entitled "UFO Agents of Terror."  Rejection of Extraterrestrial Hypothesis [edit]  Like contemporary 1960s researchers such as J. Allen Hynek and Jacques Vallée, Keel initially hoped to validate the prevailing extraterrestrial visitation hypothesis somehow. However, after one year of investigations, Keel concluded that the extraterrestrial hypothesis was untenable. Indeed, both Hynek and Vallée eventually arrived at a similar conclusion. As Keel himself wrote:  I abandoned the extraterrestrial hypothesis in 1967 when my field investigations disclosed an astonishing overlap between psychic phenomena and UFOs... The objects and apparitions do not necessarily originate on another planet and may not even exist as permanent constructions of matter. We are more likely to see what we want to see and interpret such visions according to our contemporary beliefs.[4]   It's super easy to access our archives!   Here's how:   iPhone Users: Access Mysterious Radio from Apple Podcasts and become a subscriber there, or if you want access to even more exclusive content, join us on Patreon.   Android Users: Enjoy over 800 exclusive member-only posts to include ad-free episodes, case files, and more when you join us on Patreon.    Please copy and Paste our link in a text message to all your family members and friends!

Flora welcomes author WT Watson back to the show to discuss his new work, Mysteries in the Mist: Mist, Fog, and Clouds in the Paranormal. Folklore and Fortean researcher WT Watson brings his expert clarity to foggy topics in Mysteries in the Mist. Just about every Fortean topic is covered in Watson's new book. From aliens and cryptids to Fae folk and physics, there's a little bit of a lot that he found in his research. Fog and mist happens all around the world, as does the odd phenomena that sometimes occurs in/with it. Colorful fogs, sentient mists, teleporting clouds and more have been reported, and Watson has collected many anecdotes to compile them in one work. Bottom line, if you run into some weirdly-colored, foul-smelling, or hot fog, run the other way! And don't let the clouds rain on your parade - check out other episodes on the Blurry Photos website!   Don't forget to check out Travis' book Mysteries in the Mist Biography from Amazon W. T.

Perhaps most everyone listening to this show is familiar with the term "Fortean," meaning something related to the paranormal, the supernatural, or just generally strange phenomena. But where did that term come from? How did "Forteana" come to describe many of the topics we cover on the podcast? We owe that cognomen and a good deal of our inspiration for our reportage to the work of one man, Charles Hoy Fort. Fort (b. August 6, 1874 - d. May 3, 1932) was a journalist, author, and researcher best known for his collection of accounts of extraordinary incidents and bizarre phenomena. These reports and Fort's commentaries and speculations on them mostly ended up in four books: The Book of the Damned (1919), New Lands (1923), Lo!  (1931), and Wild Talents (1932). Within these volumes of nonfiction are found testimonies of rains of meat, frogs, blood, manna, black rain, and unbelievably large stones, poltergeists and spontaneous human combustion, vampires, animal mutilations, UFOs, and alien abductions – anomalies we're familiar with nowadays. Fort is also widely credited for coining the term "teleportation." However, there were likely no other compilations of these incredible tales in Fort's time or before, aside from local newspaper reports. For that reason alone, those of us who are fascinated by such subjects owe him a debt of gratitude. For over 30 years, Fort pored over magazines, books, newspapers, and scientific journals in New York and London libraries and had amassed thousands of notes on odd occurrences. By his own account, Fort would become discouraged by the futility of his endeavors and purpose and claimed to have tossed into the wind around 48,000 notes once while sitting on a park bench at The Cloisters in New York City. Yet his defiance at the dismissal or ridicule from contemporary scientists, or the mystification by religious thinking about these happenings, kept him working until the end. Fort's theories about the causes of such impossibilities would evolve or vacillate throughout his oeuvre, sometimes even within the same book. Whether speculating that the paranormal is the prank of some kind of "Cosmic Joker," to these aberrations being the vestigial byproducts of extraordinary primordial human survival skills, Fort remained compelled by their occurrences regardless. As suggested by the title, The Book of the Damned, Fort postulated that the facts of these cases were "damned" to be excluded by science. Yet no amount of scoffing from anyone would keep the data from these baffling events from proceeding – "they'll march" on, and so did Charles Hoy Fort. We're glad that they, and he, did.
