You all asked for this paranormal fever dream, and we're delivering. This episode is packed with haunted New Orleans encounters that will make you want to book a flight and immediately cleanse your suitcase afterward. We're talking ghostly figures caught in cemetery photos, possible time slips in the French Quarter, voodoo museums with seriously heavy energy, a Rougarou sighting, haunted hotels, and the very real fear that something paranormal might hitch a ride home with you after a weekend in the Big Easy. NOLA encounters include: A visit to a New Orleans voodoo museum is followed by a terrifying late night encounter with a towering horned entity standing beside a listener's bed. A cemetery tour photo captures what looks like a ghostly woman charging straight toward the crowd. Two friends experience what feels like a time slip after getting mysteriously transported nearly an hour away while walking through the French Quarter. A possible Rougarou sighting leaves one listener convinced something with glowing red eyes was stalking her from the shadows. A haunted French Quarter school becomes the setting for repeated encounters with the ghost of a floating little girl. Watch the video version here. Have ghost stories of your own?

Today's guest is a legacy and I've had many of his family members on the show. Welcome Patrick Michot to the podcast. Patrick may come from a legendary Louisiana zydeco family but he's forging his own path while paying homage to his family's legacy. So this is NOT a zydeco episode. I'm so thankful that Patrick's cousin, Louis Michot, introduced me to the music. It's been a wild journey, listening to a cajun version of black metal. But that's not all he does. How do ocarina and classical guitar covers of video game music sound to you? I KNOW! I thought it was awesome, too. I'm only scratching the surface here. If you like dichotomy, Patrick is your guy. He started playing triangle at age 3 in his father's zydeco band. He switched to guitar and got into black metal. He moved from Louisiana to Dallas-Fort Worth and has been immersed in the black metal scene there for years. He's even gotten recognition from one of his musical influences! He's played in some non-metal bands. In fact, he made a suggestion in one of them that MAY have gotten him kicked out of the band! This is a heavy, fun episode. I'm hoping you all enjoy it as much as I did. Go to extraterrestrial.network to get all of Patrick's projects, contacts, and social media pages. Follow us @PerformanceAnx on socials.

A new strain of cryptozoology is howling across the internet. It's less about stuff like “undiscovered birds” and more like “Bigfoot is interdimensional.” This week, we are joined by guest writer Jack LaRoche follow that trail straight into Louisiana's swampy heartland to meet the Rougarou: a Cajun loup-garou legend shaped by Catholic ideas about sin and control, then transformed through centuries of cultural mixing into something that's been feared, joked about, and even embraced as a local mascot. Along the way, we rewind to medieval France to untangle where “werewolves” actually come from, detour through the shaky math and moral panic of the werewolf trials, and trace how the Acadian diaspora and Indigenous storytelling traditions helped remake the monster on American soil. It's sometimes a trickster, sometimes a warning, sometimes protection. We end by asking what these stories do: how folklore polices behavior, manufactures outsiders, and rhymes with modern conspiracist fearcraft.

Hidden within the dense cypress trees, shrouded in thick fog, lies a creature that has haunted Cajun stories for generations—the fearsome Rougarou.   Part man, part wolf, and entirely terrifying, the Rougarou is said to roam the bayous under the light of the moon, cursed to hunt endlessly through the tangled marshes. With roots in French and Cajun tradition, this shapeshifting beast has been passed down through centuries of storytelling. But is it merely a cautionary tale meant to keep children from wandering too far into the swamp—or could there be something real lurking in those dark waters?   We'll explore the origins of the Rougarou legend, tracing its lineage back to the French loup‑garou myth and its transformation into the Louisiana version known today. You'll hear how local superstition, Catholic influence, and the unique culture of the Cajun people shaped this chilling narrative. From whispered warnings in French Creole to modern-day eyewitness accounts, the Rougarou continues to hold a grip on the imagination of those who call the swamp home.   But the Rougarou is only part of the story. Louisiana's swamps are a realm unto themselves—alive with mystery and danger. Towering moss-draped trees, hidden sinkholes, and unseen creatures beneath the water create an atmosphere where fact and folklore intertwine. Hunters, fishermen, and swamp guides have long reported strange sounds echoing through the night: splashes with no visible source, low growls, glowing eyes peering from the brush. Could these be signs of the Rougarou—or something even more unknown?   In this episode, we take you into the marshes through vivid storytelling and chilling accounts from locals who swear they've seen something out there. We'll examine possible real-world explanations for the Rougarou legend, from mistaken identities to regional wildlife, as well as the theory that the swamps themselves are a natural breeding ground for supernatural lore.   We'll also touch on how the Rougarou legend has woven itself into Louisiana's culture today—appearing in festivals, parades, and local art, while still carrying that unsettling sense of danger. For many, the Rougarou isn't just a Halloween tale—it's a reminder that there are still wild, untamed forces just beyond the edge of civilization.   So, grab your lantern, step carefully into the pirogue, and join us as we paddle into the misty backwaters in search of truth, myth, and maybe even a glimpse of the Rougarou itself. Whether you're a skeptic, a believer, or just someone who loves a good swamp ghost story, this is one journey you won't want to miss.   Listen now to discover why the Rougarou remains one of America's most enduring—and most chilling—cryptid legends, and why Louisiana's swamps are the perfect place for such a creature to hide.   Welcome to the 222 Paranormal Podcast, your gateway to the captivating world of the supernatural. Immerse yourself in our expertly crafted episodes, where we delve deep into a wide range of paranormal phenomena, including ghostly hauntings, cryptid sightings, and unexplained mysteries that defy logic.

In June 2024, a woman in Columbia, Maryland, took her dogs out for a routine late-night walk—only to find herself locking eyes with an 8-foot-tall, white-furred entity lurking at the edge of a powerline field. It didn't growl. It didn't charge. She just watched. When she retreated into her apartment and locked the door, the knob rattled seconds later. A silent message was delivered: You are not alone. That same month, new reports have surfaced from Alabama, West Virginia, Oregon, and North Carolina—dozens of them—each describing eerily similar encounters with upright, canine-like beings.Are we truly facing a rise in cryptid canine activity? Or are we simply becoming more aware—more connected—through the digital lens of our curiosity and fear? In tonight's presentation, we'll explore the possibility that something fundamental is happening… but also ask the more complex questions. Are we witnessing a surge of actual phenomena—or a modern myth evolving in real time?Let's begin by walking the timeline: From historic Rougarou tales whispered in Louisiana's swamps, to the snarling beast that shattered a kitchen door in Clarksville, Maryland, to a man in Oregon who swears a creature watched him release a mouse into the woods before vanishing into the trees. These accounts span generations and geography—but now, they're being shared faster, louder, and more often than ever. Could social media, Reddit threads, YouTube videos, and even AI-generated visuals be shaping our perception? Could the so-called "Digital Dogman" be a modern folklore fed by virality, deepfakes, and algorithmic belief bubbles?At the same time, there are real-world shifts that can't be ignored. Wildlife habitats are shrinking. Climate extremes are forcing animals into new territories. The post-pandemic boom in hiking, camping, and rural living has driven humans into areas we once left alone. More people may be simply encountering what's always been there—or misinterpreting what they want to believe is there. And let's not forget the psychological factors: heightened global anxiety, uncertainty, and our deep-rooted tendency to anthropomorphize shadows in the dark.Still, we can't dismiss the sincerity of the people coming forward. Whether it's a mistake, a trick of the light, or something we haven't yet classified—what matters is that witnesses are being shaken to their core. And that demands our attention. So tonight, we look at it all: the genuine reports, the hoaxes, the social media influence, the science, the speculation—and the enduring mystery. Stay with me. And if you've seen something you can't explain, I want to hear from you.

These accounts span generations and geography—but now, they're being shared faster, louder, and more often than ever. Could social media, Reddit threads, YouTube videos, and even AI-generated visuals be shaping our perception? Could the so-called "Digital Dogman" be a modern folklore fed by virality, deepfakes, and algorithmic belief bubbles?At the same time, there are real-world shifts that can't be ignored. Wildlife habitats are shrinking. Climate extremes are forcing animals into new territories. The post-pandemic boom in hiking, camping, and rural living has driven humans into areas we once left alone. More people may be simply encountering what's always been there—or misinterpreting what they want to believe is there. And let's not forget the psychological factors: heightened global anxiety, uncertainty, and our deep-rooted tendency to anthropomorphize shadows in the dark.Still, we can't dismiss the sincerity of the people coming forward. Whether it's a mistake, a trick of the light, or something we haven't yet classified—what matters is that witnesses are being shaken to their core. And that demands our attention. So tonight, we look at it all: the genuine reports, the hoaxes, the social media influence, the science, the speculation—and the enduring mystery. Stay with me. And if you've seen something you can't explain, I want to hear from you.☕ Support the show: Buy Me a Coffee - https://bit.ly/3TRBrGM

Is the Superdome cursed by spirits from the past? Is the Rougarou just folklore, or something far more real, scary and hairy?

As the 2025 Kickstarter draws to a close (there's still time to back!) we're looking ahead at one of the major projects we have coming this year - Dawn of The Dogman. But not that, because it's not out yet! Instead Mark, Heather and Seth are talking about the some of the other Monsters of Michigan.  Back the 2025 Kickstarter Campaign  email Monsteropolis@smalltownmonsters.com BONUS: - Aaron's Unedited Producer Notes: Monsteropolis Monsters of Michigan WELCOME BACK KICKSTARTER is still running. Last episode before the campaign ends. To keep the excitement going we're talking about one of our upcoming projects - DAWN OF THE DOGMAN, but not THAT, because that's what the movie is, and you can't see it yet. Instead we're looking at the OTHER Monsters of Michigan. At least a few of them. There might be more.  Wendigo – cannibalistic humanoid monster. Strong association with winter and extreme cold. Comes from native legends.  Has gained a lot of popularity in the modern era, frequently placed alongside other cryptids, but very much its own Native legend.  Comes from the Algonquin language/dialect spoken by tribes like Ojibwe, Kree and Saulteaux.  You can kill a Wendigo by putting hot tallow down its throat, which melts its icy heart and kills it. Otherwise they're pretty much invincible. At least in some legends.  Like a lot of native lore/older legends, as the Wendigo has become more popular it's been adapted as a storytelling motif. A lot of horror/narrative podcasts use it as the “monster of the week,” the video game Until Dawn features the Wendigo as it's primary antagonist (the special edition or secret ending bonus or whatever for that game has Chad Lewis in it talking about the Wendigo)  Loup Garou - You'll have to wait for Dawn of The Dogman. Dogman and Loup Garou aren't exactly the same thing (Rougarou also) and if we wanted to we could get in the weeds and pinpoint differences between what we consider the modern “Dogman” phenomenon and the Loup Garoux vis a vis the term's roots in France but nah, we savin' that.  Sasquatch - The BFRO lists 225 sightings for Michigan, and those are just the ones that made the cut.  I don't really know what else to say about this. Michigan is big and cold and there's woods, so like, Bigfoot can hide there. Hey, here's a cool Class A report from the BFRO!  Spring of 1999, near Copemish/Thompsonville “I was walking in the woods down a two track by Thompsonville in the early spring morning. On these early morning walks I often scare up deer and occationally a bear so when I heard the noises of something running in the woods I expected to see some such animal. Instead I saw what looked to me like a large man dressed in white running at an incredible speed. He was about 50 yards away and I tracked him for some distance. I was amazed at how he ran so fast through the dense undergrowth. He had to have long legs to be able to traverse the fallen trees and swampy areas. The next day I was walking in that same area and discovered tracks that confirmed to me it was not a man I had seen. They were quite large - about 18 inches or so. I could only see three toe prints thought there may have been more that didnt inprint and what may have been claws or long toenails that left a mark. The distance between them was about three of my strides long.” Pressie - five bucks you already know what this is. That's right baby, a WATER MONSTER, ERRBODY got a water monster these days. ERRBODY also be stealing Nessie's alliteration. What happened to originality. Just kidding, no really though I don't like this trend, kind of glad it's died off, anyway PRESSIE is, Supposed to be whale tailed and horse headed and have whiskers. Sort of sounds like a big manatee. It hangs out in Lake Superior. Lots of water there, plenty of places to hide. Very good monster place.  Is Pressie a manatee? Must investigate.  Probably not. It's supposed to be 75 feet long.  First spotted in 1894! Wow. From there it jumps to 1977 with a few sightings in between, and conjecture over rumors of sightings in “the 1990s” Named for Presque Isle River where it has frequently been seen.  Nain Rouge - bon nuit, The Red Dwarf AKA Red Man AKA Little Red Man. I did a House of Monsters on this guy. He's a favorite.  Said to be a harbinger of bad luck and ill fortune Shows up before something bad happens Ya'll know Detroit be real french? City was founded by Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac in the 1700s. ONE DAY this guy is on a stroll with his wife, when suddenly a TINY RED MAN jumps out of the bushes. Antoine yelled at the tiny man and hit him with his cane, after which he was CURSED. He eventually lost his fortune and died in poverty.  The Nain has been blamed for a number of tragedies over the years, though whether he's supposed to be causing them or is just showing up to give people a warning seems to be a matter of interpretation. 1763 - The Battle of Bloody Run - 60 british soldiers are massacred by Native inhabitants (OH BUT OF COURSE this had nothing to do with the European settlers encroaching upon land and devastating their populations, sure, totally unprovoked, blame the nain, sorry feeling fighty today, been binging Cobra Kai) The great fire of 1805 - Massive city wide fire, destroyed nearly the entire thing. Massive loss of life and property. In the wake of the fire the city's flag was changed to include the phrase “Speramus meliora; resurget cineribus,” which means “We hope for better things; it will arise from the ashes.” Man I get chills every time, that's  inspiring. 1967 - The 12th Street Riot - one of the deadliest examples of civil unrest in the United States at that time. Precipitated by a number of onerous conditions, such as racial segregation and over-policing, the riot would result in 43 deaths, nearly 1200 injuries and over 700 arrests. It went on for five days. 1976 - a huge blizzard knocked out and crippled much of the city's infrastructure And other tragic events throughout the years.  The city would eventually embrace the Nain as a local symbol, holding an annual parade where they chase the Nain out of the city to usher out the bad luck. Fun fact, there's an OLDER story about Napoleon taking advice from a Little Red Man who advised him on battle tactics. He only lost when he didn't listen. He's supposed to have met the guy in an ancient egyptian tomb before declaring himself Emperor of France.  PRODUCER'S NOTE - I'm very much of the opinion that the Nain Rouge is a direct folkloric descendent of Napoleon's little red man, not literally but like, there's clearly a lineage there.  Giant Green Squirrel of Amble: “It is literally just a very large, green squirrel.” - Reddit Okay so. I guess this is a squirrel the size of a cow or a small car.  It makes a lot of loud chirping and squeaking noises, and it's also green There, uh... There doesn't seem to be a lot more to this. Or anything else. I like it though, let's make a movie about it.  https://99wfmk.com/monster-squirrel-amble/ Okay also though, there are apparently giant squirrel legends present in some native cultures in Nova Scotia (The Micmac Tribe) - some researchers believe these were derived from stories about giant ground sloths, which were (are?) a thing. So there is some background to this one. No idea if theres a direct link to the Michigan one.  There are OTHER weird Michigan monsters, but because the movie doesn't come out for a bit we're gonna save ‘em. Thank you for listening, and be sure to go back the Kickstarter RIGHT NAAAOOO - Link in the show notes. There are only four days left (counting today at time of air), and then a brief window for late backing with much higher rates due to kickstarter specific policies beyond our control.

Their whiskey, "Cut Above," has been distilled for over nine years, named after the family's ranch, and inspired by the area's history as the moonshine capital of the Gulf Coast. The episode kicks off with their Bottled in Bond Wheated Bourbon, a 100-proof bourbon with a distinct peppercorn spice, designed for the refined palate. They follow it with their Single Barrel Family Reserve, a six-year-old rye bourbon at 122.5 proof, boasting flavors of caramel, dried figs, and Girl Scout Samoas cookies, offering a rich, long finish. Next up is a five-year-old rye whiskey, finished with black cherry staves, coming in at 122.5 proof. This whiskey delivers a spicy, orange zest flavor that balances its heat. The show wraps up with the BO-RY-RU, a blend of bourbon and rye whiskeys finished in a rum cask. Named after the Rougarou, the Cajun werewolf of Louisiana folklore, it features salty caramel, sweet tea, and chocolate notes that evoke a wild, roaring experience.

It's a fascinating discussion and we all learned that we all want to experience this unique hunt. We know first-hand how devastating pigs can be to a property, but these guys have found a way to keep the pressure on them and help their local farmers AND have FUN!  If you have feral pigs in your area, there may be local farmers that would welcome you to help reduce their numbers.  The trappers are using thermals and suppressors to clean up the pigs they can get in traps. We aren't glorifying pig hunting, but pointing out a way to help put the pressure on these destructive vermin. We also learn what a Rougarou is and how did we miss that?

IN THIS EPISODE: An Oklahoma man strangles his fishing buddy to death… and then blames it on Bigfoot! We begin with that story! (Bigfoot Killed My Fishing Buddy) *** As you know, I'm not just a podcaster but also a professional voice artist. One of the many things I do is narrating audio books. But up until recently I had no idea who some of my competition was for narrations. It turns out the voice behind many best-selling audiobooks is actually a serial killer. (Murderous Narration) *** Reports of werewolves are worldwide throughout history – from the English moors to the western United States you can find sightings of dogmen, werewolves, and the like. But Louisiana has one of the most interesting entries into Lycanthropy – at least it has an interesting name and history. It's called the Rougarou. (Rougarou) *** X-ray photos are fascinating, but they are only for the eyes – not the ears, right? Well don't be too sure about that. People in the Soviet Union found a very unique way to use X-rays in order to smuggle in their favorite tunes from West! (Bone Music) *** He roams the earth, and has done so for the past 2,000 years.. doomed never to die until the end of the world. His crime? Taunting Jesus at the Crucifixion. Is this simply an urban legend, or could there be some truth behind what has come to be known as “The Curse of the Wandering Jew?” (The Curse of the Wandering Jew) *** In 1922, Charles Osbourne was in an accident involving a hog… but that's not the strange part. It's the after-effects of that accident which caused him to continue to hiccup non-stop for almost seven decades! (My Hog Gave Me The Hiccups For 68 Years) *** In the 1980s workers in an English peat bog unearthed a body. And then another… and then yet another, and another… all apparent victims of violence.

Uncle Si returns from the infamous Hazard Fest with Martin, Godwin, and Jay, along with fresh stories of the world's most interesting lineup of guests and fans. Godwin wistfully remembers a time before diabetes when he could eat a dozen of the best donuts in North Louisiana. Martin and Jay are confused when Si calls himself an "active" person and the boys remember the other truly active Robertson brother, Tommy. Si claims he doesn't believe in Bigfoot, but he does agree with Jay about the existence of the Rougarou from cajun Louisiana folklore. https://www.factormeals.com/duck50 — Get 50% off right now when you use code duck50!
