Podcasts about Mothman

Dressed like a 17th-century priest and armed with a library of ancient texts, Montague Summers devoted his life to proving that witches, vampires, and werewolves weren't just folklore — they were terrifyingly real.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/montaguesummersREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/montague20260803FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Can a priest believe in witches, werewolves, and vampires? The answer is yes – and his name was Montague Summers. Was he a kook, or was he seeing the truth that others ignored? (Montague Summers Believed in Monsters) *** He smiled without speaking, appeared alongside UFOs, and promised to return – who, or what, was the mysterious Indrid Cold? (The Grinning Man – The Legend of Indrid Cold) *** Somewhere out there, another version of you made a different choice – that's the multiverse theory. And the key to proving it could lie in changing someone else's history. (Visiting Our Neighbors in a Parallel Universe) *** Anatoli Bugorski accidentally stuck his head in the world's most powerful particle accelerator in 1978; he saw a flash brighter than a thousand suns, and somehow lived to tell about it. (The Man Who Survived An Atomic Blast Through His Skull) *** In 1971, a massive glowing sphere hovered silently over a U.S. Navy carrier — and for twenty minutes, the entire ship went dark. (Code Black: The USS Kennedy UFO Incident) *** She was a Houston socialite raised like royalty, but Joan Robinson Hill's glittering life came to a mysterious end – followed by affairs, secret autopsies, a sensational trial, and a murder that still raises more questions than answers. (Murder in Texas: The Strange Death of Joan Robinson Hill) *** Imagine calling 911 because a perfectly healthy and alive loved one insists they're dead – and wants to be taken to the morgue to join the other corpses! (Walking Dead: The Syndrome That Makes You Think You Are Deceased) *** Locals whisper about witches and shadows at Blood's Point Cemetery, but the real horror lies in a forgotten tragedy no ghost story could match.

In this episode, we sit down with Jaci and Bill Kousoulas of Phenomenology Research Professionals (PRP). Jaci, a retired USPS Postmaster, business owner, and data analytics specialist, and Bill, who holds a PhD in psychology with a focus on positive psychology and post-traumatic growth, are qualitative researchers exploring the intersections of psychology, spirituality, trauma, and the paranormal.Together they authored Bridging the Tragedy: Silver Linings in the Mysterious Ohio River Valley, a study of the 1967 Silver Bridge collapse in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, the preceding Mothman sightings, and how communities experience growth after disaster.The couple shares their personal paranormal encounters—from ghostly apparitions and psychic phenomena to Jaci's striking experience with a gnome-like entity that seemed to follow them home. Bill's lifelong interest in the unexplained was ignited by the Project UFO TV series and deepened by the film The Mothman Prophecies.The conversation dives into the Mothman phenomenon and the Ohio River Valley's 13-month wave of high strangeness (UFOs, Men in Black, poltergeist activity) leading up to the tragic Silver Bridge collapse that claimed 46 lives. Jaci and Bill recount their extensive interviews with family members, survivors, locals, and witnesses who saw Mothman before and after the event, including conversations with figures like Jeff Wamsley (owner of the Mothman Museum) and others connected to the tragedy.They discuss post-traumatic growth—the positive transformations that can emerge from tragedy—and their broader work on how paranormal experiences often intertwine with trauma.

In a previous episode, we shared a chilling listener encounter from Little Braxted, Essex—a childhood memory of glowing red eyes and a winged silhouette that haunted two sisters for decades.Today, we return to that story with a special investigative update. Mark, a paranormal investigator from Paranormal Reason who lives just minutes from the original sighting location, joins the show to share his findings. Mark has spent his time on the ground researching the area's history and, crucially, has successfully located additional witnesses who describe near-identical encounters.We break down these new reports, analyze how this UK encounter compares to the lore we cover here in the States, and discuss the importance of documenting these localized sightings before they fade into local legend.Have your own story?

Muffins! This week, Emily and V are... surprisingly heartwarmed? Pleasantly shocked? Tentatively on board with a fandom they were very nervous to cover? We're talking about Bronies this week, which is to say, adult (mostly male) fans of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. This week in fandom history, they were acknowledged by their show canon with the inclusion of their fandomwide blorbo, a backgrounder named... well... therein lies the wank. It's a rare thing when both Emily and V agree with all sides of a fandom argument, but this is one of those cases. Everyone was right, and everyone was wrong, and while nobody won, nobody really lost, either.

How are they connected to cryptids and paranormal activity?Sharing numerous evidential case studies, Jonathan Kendall explores the seemingly irreconcilable physical and spiritual aspects of UFOs/UAPs.

We dive deeper into the phenomenon known as the Men In Black!  We talk about whether Aliens are an extraterrestrial phenomenon or an extradimensional one, and also how we have obtained physical evidence if they are extradimensional.  And Dr. Kendall will tell us why he thinks Aliens probably have more in common with Faeries and the Djinn than with human beings!Get your copy of "The Metaphysics of UFO's: Evidential Case Studies on UAPs, Paranormal Phenomena, and Spiritual Experiences" here:  https://bit.ly/4ysg2aiWant a new spot to hang out, have that perfect dinner, and see some great entertainment?

In this episode of Spooky Appalachia, we confront the legend head-on through the eyes of those who claim to have survived an encounter with the Mothman. We explore three distinct, harrowing experiences: a high-stakes, paralyzing roadside confrontation in rural Tennessee; a fog-drenched, unsettling night in the hollers of Point Pleasant; and an inexplicable mid-90s sighting at an Ohio gas station that forever changed a skeptic's perspective.These aren't just stories of shadows and mist—they are accounts of being studied by something with intelligence, intensity, and an unnatural, wing-spanned presence that defies biological explanation. Whether you believe these are encounters with an interdimensional entity, a piece of living folklore, or something else entirely, these testimonies will make you think twice the next time you drive a lonely road after dark.Have your own story?

Jaci and Bill Kousoulas July 16th, 2026, Thursday, 6 PM ET Topic: Mothman Tragedy: The Untold Story of Loss, Mystery, and Post-Traumatic Growth BIO Jaci and Bill Kousoulas Jaci, a retired USPS Postmaster and current business owner/operator, is a holistic teacher and lecturer specializing in Reiki, Crystals, and Research. Bill, a seasoned professional with 30 years of experience in sales and sales management and holds degrees in English and Psychology. Our shared mission is to assist others by delving into research, crafting insightful writings, and publishing books that explore growth after trauma and related subjects. Additionally, both of us harbor a profound fascination with the paranormal – Jaci as an experiencer and Bill as an unwavering student. In 2021, we embarked on a research journey to investigate the 1967 Silver Bridge Disaster. This catastrophic event was preceded by a thirteen-month paranormal onslaught featuring UFOs, Men in Black, Cattle Mutilations, and Poltergeist activity. Notably, over 100 reports described a black, winged being known as Mothman. The culmination of our eighteen-month qualitative study, titled "Bridging the Tragedy: Silver Linings in the Mysterious Ohio River Valley," showcases interviews with several Point Pleasant natives, including Jeff Wamsley, Denny Bellamy, and Andy Colvin. Our upcoming book will delve deeper into the connection between trauma and paranormal experiences, extending beyond the confines of the Ohio River Valley. We extend a warm welcome into our lives and eagerly anticipate hearing from you! Feel free to reach out, and let's connect.

For years, Eric Cooper of Forest Moon Paranormal, based in Concrete, Washington, has investigated some of the Pacific Northwest's most intriguing mysteries. From haunted locations and ghostly encounters to cryptid sightings, Sasquatch reports, UFO activity, and claims of extraterrestrial contact and abduction, Eric has dedicated himself to searching for answers where conventional explanations often fall short. His investigations combine traditional field research with an open mind, allowing him to examine the strange through multiple lenses while documenting evidence from some of the region's most active paranormal hotspots.Tonight on Spaced Out Radio, Eric joins Dave Scott to explore a compelling question that continues to challenge researchers around the world: Are ghosts, Bigfoot, UFOs, ET encounters, and other unexplained phenomena all connected? The conversation dives into remote viewing, consciousness, and the possibility that these seemingly separate mysteries may stem from the same underlying source. If the paranormal is more interconnected than we've ever imagined, what does that reveal about our reality—and our place within it? Prepare for a fascinating discussion that crosses the boundaries of the unexplained.Spaced Out Radio is your nightly source for alternative information, starting at 9pm Pacific, 12am Eastern.  We broadcast LIVE every night. #UFO #UAP #AlienDisclosure #UFOSightings #UFOCoverUp #Aliens #SpacedOutRadio #Paranormal #UFOCommunity #disclosure -------------------------------------------------------You can now join the Space Traveler's Club;Join us at  https://www.patreon.com/sor_space_travelers_club  --------------------------------------------------------Grab Our Latest Spaced Out Radio Gear At:http://spacedoutradio.com/shop  It's a great way to support our show!--------------------------------------------------------OUR LINKS:TWITTER: https://www.twitter.com/spacedoutradio   FACEBOOK:https://www.facebook.com/spacedoutradioshow  SPACED OUT RADIO - INSTAGRAM:https://www.instagram.com/spacedoutradioshow  DAVE SCOTT - INSTAGRAM:https://www.instagram.com/davescottsor   TWITCH: https://www.twitch.com/spacedoutradioshow  WEBSITE: http://www.spacedoutradio.comGUEST IDEAS OR QUESTIONS FOR SOR?Contact Klaus at bookings@spacedoutradio.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spaced-out-radio--1657874/support.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: August 29, 2023Every state in America is hiding something. Cross the country from Alabama to Wyoming and you'll find a haunted playground where swings move on their own, a vampire buried in a Colorado cemetery, a goat-headed man lurking under a Kentucky railroad trestle, and black-eyed children knocking on car windows in Texas. Some of these urban legends are pure fiction. Others have a disturbing amount of truth buried underneath them — which is exactly what makes them stick.This episode of Weird Darkness travels through all fifty states to uncover the eeriest tale each one has to tell. There's the Alaskan Triangle, where thousands have vanished without a trace, and the shape-shifting otter people the Tlingit say are responsible. There's Resurrection Mary, the ghostly hitchhiker still searching for a dance partner outside Chicago. There's the Villisca ax murders, an unsolved 1912 slaughter that turned a family home into a haunted museum. There's Mothman over Point Pleasant, the skunk ape in the Everglades, the Jersey Devil in the Pine Barrens, and Bigfoot stalking the forests of the Pacific Northwest.Cryptids and creepy clowns. Cursed roads and phantom trains. Witches, wendigos, and vampires. Alien crash sites and portals to hell. You'll meet the "watcher" who terrorized a New Jersey family through the mail, the Bunny Man of Virginia, Walking Sam on the Pine Ridge Reservation, and the Candy Lady of rural Texas. Whether these stories were born around a campfire or dragged out of something that really happened, they've survived because nobody can quite prove they're not true.So bolt your doors, lock your windows, and find out what's whispered about in your own backyard — because every state in the Union has its own creepy collection of urban legends, and some of them might be closer than you think.

John Keel did not believe UFOs were simply metal spacecraft arriving from distant planets.After years of investigating flying saucers, monsters, psychic encounters, Men in Black, strange phone calls, failed prophecies, and the events surrounding Mothman, he began to suspect that the phenomenon was much older, much stranger, and far less honest than most people imagined.In the first part of this Idiot Mystic series, we begin exploring Keel's extraordinary book The Eighth Tower. We look at his life, the experiences that changed his thinking, and his theory that human beings may only perceive a narrow slice of reality.Keel called the larger hidden system the superspectrum. He believed UFOs, demons, fairies, religious visions, cryptids, and other impossible encounters could be different forms produced by the same intelligence, shaped around the fears, beliefs, and expectations of whoever witnessed them.The entities seemed to communicate. They offered warnings, predictions, and grand explanations about where they came from.The problem was that they kept lying.Instagram & TikTok: @idiotmysticJoin the Discord: https://discord.gg/dXKjhZrZmM

In this episode, Geoff and Katrina celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States declaring independence from Great Britain. Katrina wanted to acknowledge the occasion by indulging in the story tradition of "tall talk" or more commonly "tall tales". Geoff retells the story of Stormalong, which is a great story to represent America because while these tales became common in the northern east coast, they have old sea shanty roots from African song traditions that traveled through Mobile Bay. Then Katrina retells the tale of The Iron Moonhunter, which is a west coast legend of new Chinese immigrants who built the railroads while holding onto the spirits of those they loved and lost. Stories Told: “Stormalong” found in American Tall Tales by Mary Pope Osborne “The Iron Moonhunter” retold by Kathleen Chang Books and Essays Cited: American Tall Tales by Mary Pope Osborne Shanties from the Seven Seas collected by Stan Hugill From Sea to Shining Sea: A Treasury of American Folklore and Folk Songs compiled by Amy L. Cohn Other Episodes Mentioned:  #80 Mothman and Other American Cryptids  #5 The Legend of Sleepy Hollow #42 Sea Shanties and Folk Songs 

Cryptid folklore and encounters shape regional identity across America.

Discover why local legends aren't just scary stories—they're the mythology that communities use to understand themselves and their land. A dark journey through cryptid encounters that reveal us as much as they terrify us.

Desde hace algunos años se han hecho públicos muchos testimonios que hablan sobre las aterradoras apariciones de una misteriosa criatura en la Laguna de Zumpango, ubicada en el Estado de México. Quienes la han visto la describen como un ser de complexión humanoide, pero que tiene dos enormes alas que salen desde su espalda. Una especie de demonio que tiene un gran parecido a la famosa criatura vista en la película Jeepers Creepers, también conocida como El Demonio.Una persona que nos pidió mantener su identidad en el anonimato nos contactó para contarnos como fueron alguno de estos avistamientos de los que muchos en el Estado de México hablan.¿De que se tratara esta criatura? ¿Una gárgola? ¿Un demonio? ¿El mítico Mothman u Hombre polilla? En realidad no se sabe a ciencia cierta, pero es un hecho que la Laguna de Zumpango guarda una enorme cantidad de misterios, pues además de ser el sitio en el que se ha visto a este humanoide con alas, también es conocido por sus avistamientos de brujas en formas de bolas de fuego.¿Te atreverías a caminar por los alrededores de la Laguna de Zumpango ya por la noche?

In the spring of 1976, two young sisters exploring a churchyard in Cornwall claimed they encountered a towering feathered creature with glowing red eyes perched atop an ancient church tower. What followed was a wave of sightings, terrified witnesses, and one of Britain's strangest cryptid legends. Tonight, we journey into the mist-covered woods of Mawnan to investigate the mystery of the Owlman—a creature that has haunted Cornwall for nearly fifty years.

For more than a year, a seven-foot creature with glowing red eyes and folded wings terrorized Point Pleasant, West Virginia—and just weeks after the sightings stopped, the Silver Bridge collapsed and killed 46 people, leaving the town to wonder whether the Mothman had been a monster, a warning, or something far worse.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources and full transcript): https://weirddarkness.com/RedEyesOfMothmanREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode:https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8s2fxtFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Most everyone is familiar with the King James Bible, but did you know that King James also wrote a book on demonology during the witch hunts and trials? (The King James Book of Demonology) *** Her gravestone, decorated with a cross and flowers, reads “Jerrilynn S. Mullins — Beloved wife and best friend.” It could also be added, “a victim of a crime that will likely never be solved.” (The Unsolved Mystery of Jerrilyn Mullins) *** It was on November 15th 1966 that Point Pleasant, West Virginia had its first experience with what later became known as the Mothman. Many believe it was either the cause of a horrific bridge collapse, or perhaps a harbinger of the doom that was soon to come. The mystery remains to this day – as do some of the eerie happenings in the area.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: November 15, 2021This episode of Weird Darkness, hosted by Darren Marlar, moves from a winged cryptid haunting a West Virginia river town to a Georgia teenager found dead inside a rolled wrestling mat, a Minnesota newlywed who vanished from a restaurant parking lot, and a king of England who wrote a manual on demons.It opens with the Mothman, first reported on November 15, 1966, when two young married couples driving past an abandoned World War II TNT plant near Point Pleasant, West Virginia, spotted a six- or seven-foot gray figure with folded wings and glowing red eyes that rose into the air and pursued their car down Highway 62 at over 100 miles per hour. That same night, contractor Newell Partridge of Salem watched his television fill with a strange pattern before his dog Bandit chased two red eyes toward the hay barn and disappeared forever, and the next day Roger Scarberry described passing a large dog's body near the city limits that was gone minutes later. Over the following year roughly 100 people, including Marcella Bennett, reported the creature alongside UFO sightings and men in black, and on December 15, 1967, the 700-foot Silver Bridge linking Point Pleasant to Ohio collapsed during rush hour and killed 46 people, cementing the belief that the Mothman had been a harbinger of the disaster.From there the episode turns to Kendrick Johnson, the 17-year-old three-sport athlete found dead on January 11, 2013, stuffed head-down inside a rolled wrestling mat in the old gym at Lowndes High School in Valdosta, Georgia. Investigators ruled the death an accidental positional asphyxia, theorizing the boy fell in reaching for a shoe, but his 19-inch shoulders could not fit through the mat's 14-inch opening, an hour of footage from all four gym cameras was missing and altered, and his organs were found removed and replaced with newspaper. A second and third autopsy revealed blunt force trauma to his neck and right chest, a fabricated confession recording sold to his family for $1,000 was exposed as a hoax by Sheriff Ashley Paulk, and the case, which once entangled FBI agent Randy Bell's sons Brandon and Brian Bell, was officially reopened on March 10, 2021.Vanishing from a restaurant parking lot is what happened next to Jerrilyn Mullins, a 28-year-old Oakdale, Minnesota, newlywed who left the dinner table at a Chi Chi's in Richfield around 9:00 p.m. on November 15, 1978, and was last seen by her husband's coworker Patrick Melbourne, who said he drove her 22 miles back to a Howard Johnson's and left her there. Her decomposed body surfaced in a Lake Elmo swamp on June 30, 1979, identified through dental records and jewelry, with two autopsies unable to determine a cause of death though her stomach contents placed her killing within an hour of leaving the restaurant. Melbourne, who carried a long record of sexual assault allegations and was later convicted of crimes against a 10-year-old girl, remained the prime suspect; husband Ron Mullins lost a 1989 wrongful-death civil suit for lack of evidence, and the Washington County case stayed unsolved when Melbourne died in 2015.The episode closes with King James VI and I, who returned from a 1589 trip to Denmark obsessed with witchcraft and published Daemonologie in 1597, the only treatise of its kind written by a reigning monarch. In its pages he catalogued the signs of demonic possession, describing superhuman strength exceeding six men, iron-hard skin that could not be pierced, and victims speaking languages they never learned, while arguing that demons inhabit the corpses of the pious and that only prayer and fasting, not Catholic ritual, could repel them. He acknowledged werewolves as men suffering an excess of melancholy rather than cursed creatures, dismissed fairies as illusions sent by the Devil, fixed the ratio of female to male witches at 20 to 1 by reasoning that women were more easily deceived as Eve had been, and produced a work that fueled the European and colonial witch hunts and shaped the weird sisters of William Shakespeare's Macbeth.

It has been proposed that the Mothman could very well be the angel of death, as sightings of the ominous and feared entity foretell impending disaster. This winged human-looking creature was first reported by citizens of West Virginia during the year prior to the horrible collapse of the Silver Bridge in Point Pleasant. Curiously, on November 20, 2016, an unidentified man allegedly captured images of what he believed to be the Mothman. The alleged return of Mothman happened 5 days after the 50th anniversary of the original sightings there in 1966. On this captivating episode of Ground Zero, Clyde Lewis talks with Mothman researcher and Cryptozoologist Ken Gerhard about THE RETURN OF MOTHMAN. The original broadcast was on December 2, 2016.
