Tennessee's mountains, forests, rural communities, and abandoned places have produced some of the most extraordinary unexplained creature reports in Appalachia.In this episode of Phantoms & Monsters Radio, Lon Strickler presents eight disturbing eyewitness accounts from across Tennessee. These cases include a whitish-gray Bigfoot known locally as the Cherokee Devil, a massive creature that appeared to vanish through a dimensional opening near Roan Mountain, repeated encounters with a seven-foot black canine humanoid, a nearly invisible entity running through the treetops of Antioch, and a red-eyed, featureless being observed in an abandoned northeastern Tennessee town.The presentation also examines a bizarre white reptilian humanoid that approached a vehicle near a cemetery, a feathered winged humanoid seen ascending to the roof of a Columbia residence, and a mysterious yellow-eyed entity that remained completely unaffected after being fired upon with a shotgun near Jonesborough.Several witnesses reported missing time, slowed perception, glowing eyes, overwhelming dread, unexplained screams, apparent cloaking, and creatures capable of moving in ways that defy normal physical limitations.Were these witnesses encountering undiscovered animals, supernatural manifestations, interdimensional beings, or entities connected to the Appalachian landscape itself?Join Lon Strickler as he examines the testimony, patterns, and possible implications behind these compelling Tennessee encounters.Subscribe to Phantoms & Monsters Radio for additional eyewitness reports, paranormal investigations, cryptid research, UFO accounts, and unexplained phenomena.

Washington State is known for its volcanic mountains, isolated coastlines, ancient evergreen forests, deep river valleys, military facilities, and immense stretches of wilderness. It is also the setting for some of the most disturbing unexplained encounters ever reported.In this presentation of UNEXPLAINED WASHINGTON, Lon Strickler examines eight extraordinary cases involving UFO activity, missing time, transparent flying creatures, cloaked humanoids, upright canines, Sasquatch, military secrecy, and an unsolved disappearance that continues to haunt him personally.A ten-year-old boy camping near Beacon Rock awakens after hours of missing time with his boots on the wrong feet, wet socks, unexplained puncture marks, and no memory of what happened after his dogs began reacting to something in the darkness.A married couple in Bremerton watches two enormous, transparent creatures with prehistoric features glide silently above their heads. Their reflective bodies appear almost invisible in the moonlight.Campers near Table Mountain hear footsteps, faint drumming, and movement around their tents before one witness sees a long-limbed gray humanoid crouching between the trees.A man guarding a rural property encounters a partially cloaked humanoid suspended near an ancient cedar tree. The figure resembles rippling air and produces an immediate, overwhelming wave of dread.At a gas station in Grayland, a nearly seven-foot-tall employee confronts an enormous canine creature standing upright behind the building.Near Kirkland, a hiker claims to witness a violent confrontation between a Sasquatch and a translucent reptilian creature capable of producing a mysterious burning substance.A former United States Air Force serviceman describes a secret assignment following the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens. Armed guards were ordered to protect heavily concealed figures whose unusual height and proportions led him to question whether they were human disaster victims.The presentation concludes with the deeply emotional case of Mandy, a young Washington schoolteacher who contacted Lon after strange red-and-white lights appeared near her isolated farmhouse. Telephone failures, electrical blackouts, scratching on the roof, movement in the attic, and terrifying aerial activity followed.Days after Mandy asked, “Why is this happening to us?” she vanished from her bedroom without a trace.Her car, clothing, and personal belongings remained behind. There was no apparent forced entry and no known explanation for how she disappeared.These cases raise difficult questions about what may inhabit Washington's forests, mountains, waterways, and skies.Are these encounters evidence of undiscovered biological creatures, dimensional intrusions, spiritual entities, extraterrestrial activity, classified military operations, or phenomena that exist beyond our current understanding?Join Lon Strickler as he investigates the witnesses, patterns, and disturbing mysteries of UNEXPLAINED WASHINGTON.Please subscribe to Phantoms & Monsters Radio, activate notifications, and share this presentation with others interested in cryptids, UFOs, paranormal phenomena, mysterious disappearances, and the unexplained.Visit Phantoms & Monsters for additional eyewitness reports, investigations, commentary, and Fortean research.

This week I'm talking to Lon Strickler about his book 'Alien Disclosure: Experiencers Expose Reality'. The question isn't, have we been visited by extraterrestrial beings, but what is their agenda? Human experiencers are providing us with actual accounts of alien abduction and close encounters with other worldly beings. Their stories are important, giving us a real sense of this global phenomenon and to the possible agenda behind these visitations. This book will detail numerous encounters which will help answer questions such as: Is the human species part of a grand experiment? Who are the Men in Black? Is our species, with the assistance of extraterrestrials, headed towards a technological and biological singularity? The experiences described in the accounts are brutally forthright and span decades. Some of the stories will shock you, some will offer greater clarity, and some will even frighten you. Either way, these experiences will present a vivid account and no doubt leave you questioning the origin of our species. Bio Lon Strickler is a Fortean researcher, author, and publisher of the syndicated 'Phantoms and Monsters' blog.

New Mexico is a land of ancient mysteries, isolated deserts, volcanic landscapes, secretive military installations, indigenous traditions, and persistent reports of unexplained phenomena.In this episode of Phantoms & Monsters Radio, Lon Strickler presents nine extraordinary witness accounts from across New Mexico involving winged humanoids, UFOs, transparent entities, mysterious portals, reptilian beings, unknown forest creatures, and a terrifying insectoid encounter.A motorist near Hobbs observes an eight-to-nine-foot winged humanoid clinging near the top of an electrical pole. The massive figure has black feathered wings, a bare or membranous body, a visible bony spine, and a small featureless head.On Tortugas Mountain, a hiker discovers a modern green doorway standing alone across a familiar trail. After stepping through it, the witness experiences intense déjà vu, distorted colors, visual flickering, an out-of-body sensation, and overwhelming dread. When the witness later returns, the doorway is gone.Near Cloudcroft in the Lincoln National Forest, teenage campers hear two enormous bipedal creatures screaming and communicating through deep clicking sounds. The entities approach the tent from different directions, with one stopping only a foot away.Two New Mexico patrol officers investigate mysterious whistling near an abandoned school. Something crawls through waist-high grass before standing upright and revealing a childlike humanoid form with illuminated blue eyes.At Holloman Air Force Base, a woman witnesses large transparent humanoids moving through the desert and appearing outside her home. The entities distort the background around them like wrinkled plastic or optical camouflage.During a childhood visit to Capulin Volcano, a witness experiences an apparent separation of consciousness and descends into an underground tunnel. There, she encounters a small robed reptilian being holding a tablet-like device.In Rio Arriba County, witnesses observe a bizarre creature with huge bat-like wings, yellow eyes, long fangs, hocked legs, and a white V-shaped marking across its chest.Outside Roswell, members of a touring band encounter a 15-foot luminous sphere that follows their van at approximately 75 miles per hour before stopping instantly above the roadside.Finally, near Valles Caldera, a stranded mail carrier encounters a six-foot insectoid with a grasshopper-like head, large antennae, and multiple pincers.What is occurring throughout New Mexico?Are these encounters connected to unknown animals, indigenous traditions, extraterrestrial intelligence, secret military technology, interdimensional phenomena, or something even stranger?Join Lon Strickler as he examines these chilling eyewitness reports from one of the most mysterious regions in North America.If you have experienced a cryptid, humanoid, UFO, alien encounter, paranormal manifestation, or other unexplained phenomenon, contact Phantoms & Monsters.

Wisconsin is known for its forests, lakes, farmland, old mining towns, rural highways, and quiet communities. But beneath that familiar landscape are reports of terrifying encounters with winged anomalies, strange humanoids, invisible entities, black-eyed children, cryptid beasts, and other unexplained phenomena.In this episode of Phantoms & Monsters Radio, we examine a series of disturbing Wisconsin cases, including a terrifying road encounter near Lake Geneva, the legendary Mineral Point Vampire, a winged humanoid seen at the Wisconsin State Fair, a possible angelic intervention in Madison, a Glimmer Man encounter near Sturgeon Bay, a demon-like animal south of Barron, the Man-Bat of Briggs Road near La Crosse, black-eyed children near Milwaukee, a massive figure in Kettle Moraine, and a flying witch-like being near Darien.These reports suggest that Wisconsin may be a corridor of roadside high-strangeness, where witnesses encounter something at the edge of headlights, tree lines, bridges, cemeteries, fairgrounds, and lonely roads.Are these misidentified animals, folklore brought into the modern age, unknown cryptids, interdimensional intrusions, or something even stranger?Join us as we investigate UNEXPLAINED WISCONSIN.Please like, share, comment, and subscribe to Phantoms & Monsters Radio for more eyewitness accounts, investigations, and unexplained case files.

Tonight on Phantoms & Monsters Radio, we examine a disturbing collection of unexplained Ohio encounters, including the return of the Loveland Frogman, the 1972 Defiance werewolf panic, humanoid sightings in Mount Vernon, a shiny black white-eyed quadrupedal creature near Hillsboro, multiple winged humanoid reports from Toledo and Chesterland, a strange Men in Black style incident in Medina County, upright canine beings near Lake Erie, and a possible cloaked or invisible Bigfoot encounter in southeast Ohio.These reports span decades and regions, yet they share recurring elements: fear, shock, intelligent behavior, unusual movement, glowing eyes, physical dread, and the lasting psychological impact left on eyewitnesses. If you are interested in cryptids, Fortean phenomena, winged humanoids, Dogman reports, Men in Black, and high strangeness in the Buckeye State, this presentation is for you.

Some objects are said to carry more than age, memory, or history. In tonight's Phantoms & Monsters Radio presentation, we examine disturbing accounts involving allegedly possessed, cursed, and haunted objects, including dolls, a Ouija board, an antique chair, a haunted vehicle, and the infamous painting known as The Anguished Man.These cases raise a deeper question. Can an object become a vessel, trigger, or focal point for paranormal activity, or are fear and suggestion enough to create the appearance of a haunting?• Haunted clown wall decoration linked to nightmares, animal fixation, and a missing-time style blackout• Ouija board cases involving obsession, attachment, household collapse, and long-term oppression• The Anguished Man painting chronology, based on reports initially sent directly to Lon by Sean Robinson

Indiana has long been a crossroads of strange and terrifying encounters, but some reports go far beyond the familiar haunted house or ghost story. In this episode, I present a chilling collection of Indiana cases involving winged humanoids, dark sentinels, bizarre roadside creatures, possible reptilian entities, graveyard horrors, and other unexplained beings that have left witnesses shaken for decades.From Wanatah to Rolling Prairie, from Shelbyville to Harrison County, these reports reveal a landscape marked by recurring high strangeness, where fear, mystery, and the unknown seem deeply rooted in the land itself. Some witnesses describe towering flying beings and horned entities. Others recount men in black coveralls, glowing child-like figures, and things seen in the woods and caves that simply do not fit accepted reality.If you have had a similar experience in Indiana or elsewhere, please leave a comment and share your account.

Florida has long been known as a land of extremes. Swamps and pine barrens, remote prairie, coastline, farmland, and dense suburban development all exist side by side, creating a landscape where the natural and the unnatural often seem to overlap. Over the years, witnesses from across the state have described things that do not fit any accepted category. Some reports involve winged humanoids, others monstrous canines, bizarre upright predators, or strange entities glimpsed only for a moment, yet remembered for a lifetime. Tonight, we are going to examine nine such accounts, each one different in appearance and circumstance, but all carrying that same unmistakable mark of the unexplained.What makes these cases so compelling is that they do not point to one simple answer. Instead, they suggest a broader pattern of anomaly that runs through Florida itself. These are not stories from a single town or a brief wave of sightings. They come from the Panhandle, Central Florida, the Gulf Coast, South Florida, the Keys, and beyond. Some witnesses were children at the time. Others were hardened adults who believed only in logic and ordinary explanations. But each of them came away with the same conclusion. They saw, heard, or felt something they could not explain, and in many cases, something they have never forgotten.Florida has always occupied a peculiar place in the American paranormal map. It is famous for Skunk Ape lore, ghost stories, phantom cats, and unexplained lights, but beneath those more familiar legends lies another layer of testimony that is far harder to classify. These are reports that blur the lines between cryptid, supernatural manifestation, and something perhaps even stranger. A flying gargoyle near Zephyrhills. A giant feline thing that rises upright in broad daylight. A dark entity in the water that seems to move with intent. An owl-headed being stood calmly at the edge of the woods. Each report sounds different, yet together they form a body of evidence that deserves serious attention.So tonight, we are not looking at folklore in the abstract. We are looking at firsthand testimony from people who insist that, for a few moments, the world stopped behaving the way it should. These are not polished legends. They are fragments of lived experience, strange, personal, and deeply unsettling. As we move through each account, one after another, a bigger question emerges. Are these isolated anomalies, or glimpses of a hidden reality that has been surfacing in Florida for far longer than most people realize?

Tonight on Phantoms & Monsters Radio, we explore the ancient ghoul tradition of the Middle East and compare it to a disturbing series of modern witness reports involving pale humanoids, cemetery crawlers, battlefield scavengers, mountain screams, and deceptive entities that seem to imitate human behavior. From Iraqi Kurdistan and Kuwait to Illinois, Montana, and Gettysburg, these accounts reveal a striking continuity between Islamic folklore and contemporary high strangeness.In this presentation, I examine how classic ghoul traits, graveyard association, corpse predation, mimicry, liminal settings, caves, ruins, and psychological aftermath, continue to surface in modern encounters. Whether these reports reflect folklore carried forward, misunderstood cryptids, ultraterrestrial manifestations, or something else entirely, the similarities are too strong to ignore.Please like, subscribe, share your thoughts in the comments, and let me know if you have had a similar experience.If you have experienced an unexplained encounter or sighting, visit Phantoms and Monsters https://phantomsandmonsters.com to submit & share your story.

What happens when the unknown stops being a distant mystery and becomes a direct personal encounter? In this presentation, I examine a chilling series of experiencer reports involving aliens, reptilian entities, mantis beings, transparent humanoids, Men in Black, subterranean creatures, and other unexplained intelligences that witnesses say entered their lives in unforgettable ways.Tonight's cases span bedrooms, military bases, levees, farms, tents, hotel rooms, and remote landscapes, each one offering a different face of the same underlying mystery. These are not just UFO sightings. These are deeply personal testimonies of contact, fear, warning, paralysis, missing memory, and lasting psychological impact.Witness reports include mantis entities, greys, reptilian humanoids, transparent beings, and shadow-like manifestationsSeveral cases involve military proximity, altered states, shared witness confirmation, or recurring visitation patternsThe deeper question remains whether these encounters point to extraterrestrial contact, ultraterrestrial intelligence, psychic intrusion, or something even strangerIf you have experienced an unexplained encounter or sighting, visit Phantoms and Monsters https://phantomsandmonsters.com to submit & share your story.

In 1903, two hunters tracking moose through the frozen Yukon wilderness stumbled upon a massive furrow in the mud — thirty feet long, flanked by clawed footprints the size of a man — and followed the trail straight to something that shouldn't exist. What a French traveler, a gold prospector, and a Jesuit priest would witness clambering out of a remote Arctic ravine defies every assumption about what still roams the Canadian wild.*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*IN THIS EPISODE: Is it possible that dinosaurs lived recently? Like, in the 1900s? Even more bizarre… could they have been living in the 20th century in, of all places, the Arctic Circle? (The Monster of Partridge Creek) *** On May 3, 1881, Mena Muller and Louis Kettler took the ferry from New York City to Hoboken, New Jersey. They were going to be married in Hoboken, although they each had a spouse already. The legality of the marriage did not concern them; they were returning to Germany and would start a new life there. But somehow their plans went awry; that night Louis Kettler returned to New York alone and ten days later Mena Muller's body was found in New Jersey with a fractured skull. (The Guttenberg Murder) *** Timothy Trespas lives in his home in Brooklyn. And I do mean in his home – as he rarely leaves the house, because he feels he is being stalked everywhere he goes by gangs of individuals. And he's not the only one. (Gang Stalking Paranoia) *** They say walking is good for you… but that depends on where you walk, when you walk, and who you bump into, as one person found out late one night just trying to alleviate the boredom. (The Smiling Man) *** We've all slept in longer than we planned. What's the longest you ever slept in? Three hours? Thirteen hours? Did you ever sleep three days straight? I think I see maybe two hands raised out there. You two are amateurs. One man slept 300 days out of the year. (Never Enough Sleep) *** A man had several unexplained incidents while hiking in a German forest. Shaken by the events, he eventually encounters a man with bright green eyes. Was this a Guardian Angel or was it a gray alien?
