Ryan is a musician and founding member of the metalcore band Until I Wake. What began as a fan purchasing merchandise soon crossed a dangerous line. The fan became fixated on Ryan, flooding him with messages, changing their last name to match his, claiming they were married, and threatening to travel across the country to wait outside his home. Today, Ryan shares what happens when fandom turns into obsession, how stalking can impact musicians and public figures, and what it's like to continue performing and living his life while facing an active and ongoing stalking threat.

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys dive headfirst into a collection of strange encounters that blur the lines between folklore, the paranormal, and the truly unexplained.A witness near Big Bear Lake, California reports a terrifying encounter with a pale, four-legged humanoid that sprinted up a tree and leaped effortlessly through the treetops. In Tennessee, a hiker experiences what feels like an invisible shove while passing a historic cemetery, raising questions about whether the dead were offended by a careless joke. Another listener recounts witnessing six glittering, DNA-like spirals hovering above a freshly plowed field, accompanied by an unsettling bout of missing time.The strangeness continues with a report of a twelve-foot-tall "walking tree" crossing a northern Minnesota wetland, an encounter later connected to Ojibwe traditions describing spirit guardians of the forest. A childhood sighting of a shimmering, mirage-like humanoid leaves one listener wondering if they encountered a real-life Glimmer Man. Then, a Texas family shares a multi-generational mystery involving alien visitors, missing time near White Sands, cattle mutilations, and an unusual Air Force intelligence-testing program.Finally, a late-night commuter in rural Southern California comes face-to-face with a towering, stilt-legged "Not Deer" whose unnatural movements and monstrous proportions leave a lasting impression.From spectral encounters and strange entities to lost time, living trees, and impossible creatures, this episode is packed with the kind of listener experiences that keep us questioning what may be lurking just beyond the edge of our understanding.All of this and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives!Sponsors:IQBAR: Right now, IQBAR is offering our special podcast listeners 20% off all IQBAR products, plus get FREE shipping.

Dr. Christine Cocchiola is a social worker, professor, researcher, and internationally recognized advocate on coercive control and abuse. But even Christine didn't realize she was being stalked. Her ex always seemed to know where she was, who she was with, and even details about her finances. Whenever she questioned it, she was told she was imagining things. After leaving the relationship, Christine discovered her phone had been hacked, her car had been tracked, and she had been monitored for years. Today, Christine shares how stalking and surveillance were hidden behind years of gaslighting—and how she finally uncovered the truth.

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys don't waste any time getting into some truly strange encounters. They start off in Oklahoma with the chilling testimony of a retired Special Forces sniper who came face to face with a massive humanoid figure after returning home from a late-night rabbit hunt. Armed, experienced, and battle-tested, he admits the creature showed no fear of him whatsoever. Even his military-trained dog collapsed in terror.Then they head into the wilds of Texas, where a retired police officer recounts multiple encounters spanning decades. From mysterious screams in the night and carefully stacked stones left in hunting stands, to a thunderstorm encounter with a towering, silver-haired giant standing only feet away from him in the darkness, this story is one of the most detailed Bigfoot reports we have ever covered.Next, they explore a disturbing series of sightings from Mississippi and Tennessee involving what the witness calls a “Lycandroid” creature. A former law enforcement officer describes repeated encounters over nearly twenty years with a massive wolf-like being crossing highways, moving through swampy terrain, and appearing in broad daylight.Then, two boys exploring remote woods in western New York encounter something that seems impossible: violently shaking trees, an earth-shaking growl, and later, a terrifying invisible entity that allegedly reached through an open window and physically dragged one of them across the floor. Decades later, both witnesses still stand by what they experienced.Then, into the mountains of eastern Kentucky, where generations of folklore collide with one family's terrifying firsthand account. A skeptical war veteran opens his front door expecting to find a bear, only to come face to face with what he describes as a massive dog-headed humanoid creature standing on his porch in the middle of the night.These stories come from hunters, police officers, veterans, and lifelong outdoorsmen. People trained to observe. People who insist they know what they saw. Were these encounters with Bigfoot, Dogman, something stranger, or simply fear manifesting in the darkness?You decide.All of this and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives!Join the ConversationHave you experienced something unexplained in the woods, on the road, or near your home?

On the Secret Witch Show today, Nicole is speaking to one of her own core medicine topics - reclaiming your voice as a wild woman, and sharing your story as a healer witch. Drawing on over a decade of writing, speaking, and being seen across media, podcasts, and live event spaces, she brings a deeply personal and lived perspective to what it truly means to express your truth in the world. This is not just about storytelling - it's about the initiation of visibility, the courage to be seen in our vulnerability, and the alchemy of turning our wounds into medicine. In this episode, we explore what it really takes to reclaim your voice and truth. Nicole shares her own journey from silence and fear to visibility and authentic expression, and opens a deeper conversation around the Witch Wound, the cost of being seen, and the identity shifts that come with stepping into your power. She explores how our stories are archetypal remedies for others - and how, when we heal and integrate our wounds, our story becomes medicine not just for ourselves, but for others (even just our immediate local community, family and friends). This is a raw, initiatory exploration of visibility, truth, and feminine power - and what it truly means to be seen, even exploring the fantasy of being seen by others, and how the real gold is truly seeing ourselves. What You'll Learn from this Episode: Reclaiming our voice is not about simply being more confident - it's an initiation into being fully seen in our truth, and it will ask us to meet fear, truth, and identity in a deeper way To be seen, we have to speak - and often that is vulnerable, but it's also worth it for the gift of being able to be fully ourselves The Witch Wound often lives beneath the fear of visibility - fear of judgement, rejection, or being too much - and our work is to recognise that this is part of our healing Your story is not just something that happened to us - it is our archetypal remedy, and when alchemised, it becomes medicine for ourselves and others The edge of visibility often begins when we stop sharing what is safe or universal, and start expressing our unique perspective and embodied truth Not everything needs to be shared - discernment is part of power, and knowing what is integrated vs still processing protects both ourselves and our work You don't need to be fully healed to be seen - but your power comes from owning where you are, rather than performing a version of yourself for acceptance We often have a fantasy that being seen and accepted will fulfil us, but the real person we want to be seen and loved by is ourselves.

In this episode of Ask and Answered by Soul, Jennifer Urezzio sits down with Deborah Keevan, founder of Highlander Press, bestselling author, and champion for women's voices, to discuss the power of sharing your story unapologetically. Together, they explore why storytelling begins with creating safety within yourself and how writing—or even speaking—your story can be a profound healing tool. Deborah shares that many people believe their stories aren't important enough to tell, when in reality, our experiences often become the very thing that helps others feel seen, understood, and less alone. Jennifer and Deb discuss how our past experiences, pain, and perceptions shape the stories we tell ourselves, and how revisiting those stories from a healed perspective can reveal new truths, gifts, and wisdom. They also offer practical advice for aspiring writers, including letting the first draft be messy, using voice-to-text tools, and focusing less on perfection and more on authenticity. The conversation ultimately reminds us that our stories are not just about us—they are invitations. Invitations for others to heal, connect, and recognize that they are not walking this journey alone. You can learn more about Deborah at https://deborahkevin.com/ About Deborah Deborah Kevin (KEY-vin) is the founder of Highlander Press, bestselling author of Shelf Life: A Field Guide to Long-Term Author Success, and an unapologetic disruptor of the status quo.

What began as a personal nightmare soon unraveled into something far more disturbing.

You don't need perfect words or all the answers—just a willingness to be real. Discover how your story can become a powerful way to bring hope, spark faith, and make an eternal impact in the lives of others.

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off by talking about Kyle and Luke's recent trip to the Texas Fright Fest, where Luke finally got the chance to meet horror icon Matthew Lillard along with several other legendary figures from the world of horror and the paranormal.Then, they dive headfirst into the strange and unexplained.First, the guys discuss the disturbing account of Homer, Alaska resident Lisa Merrell, who between 2013 and 2018 claimed to witness small crawler-like humanoids moving silently through the trees near her property. What began as fleeting glimpses through binoculars allegedly escalated into repeated sightings of numerous entities, followed by a horrifying transformation of the surrounding forest itself. Years later, when Lisa returned to the location with a television crew, they reportedly found the trees blackened, rotten, and dying.Then, a chilling encounter out of Red River, New Mexico involving a mysterious deer-like creature seen twice by the same man years apart. The story takes an even darker turn after his girlfriend witnesses the same entity for herself, leaving both of them convinced that whatever they encountered may have followed them home.Next, the guys explore a bizarre and deeply unsettling series of experiences connected to the Bear Canyon and Bear Peak trail areas near Boulder, Colorado. In the early 1980s, one resident experienced an intense nighttime vision warning him to stay away from the area near the Flatirons. Decades later, another individual described an eerily similar encounter involving overwhelming dread, psychological pressure, and an unshakable feeling that something unseen was watching. The mystery becomes even more compelling considering the region's deep Indigenous history and long-standing reputation for strange activity.After that, they cover a terrifying encounter from a West Texas patrol officer who found himself face-to-face with a tall, dark, foul-smelling figure while working a quiet late-night shift through isolated farmland lined with abandoned orchards and towering cornfields. What started as a routine stop quickly turned into something out of a nightmare. Even more disturbing, another deputy reportedly encountered the same entity a year later in the same area, leaving behind one unforgettable piece of evidence — a massive handprint pressed onto the patrol vehicle.Finally, a Canadian Armed Forces veteran recounts two unforgettable wilderness encounters from his military service. The first involved unexplained voices heard during winter training exercises near Algonquin Provincial Park. The second, far more physical incident occurred near Wainwright, Alberta, where he claims to have witnessed a massive reddish-brown, hair-covered creature violently attacking a white-tailed buck in broad daylight — an image he says stayed with him for the rest of his life.All of this and more on this eerie installment of Expanded Perspectives.Sponsors:LEAN: Right now they're having a HUGE Memorial Day Sale and LEAN is 25% OFF.

Jennifer is a career nanny who says an ordinary job search became something far more disturbing after she declined a position through a nanny agency. What began as routine professional communication soon escalated into hostile messages, fake identities, relentless phone calls, and harassment that followed Jennifer for more than a year — even reaching her on her wedding day. As she tried to figure out who was behind it, Jennifer began discovering other women with eerily similar stories. For Jennifer, what should have been a simple job opportunity spiraled into a campaign of stalking, intimidation, and obsession.

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off by talking about what they've been up to lately, including pruning tomato plants, flinging arrows at the range, attending graduation ceremonies, and even making a stop at a moonshine distillery deep in the countryside.Then, the show takes a hard turn into the strange. First, they discuss reports of a possible Bigfoot encounter near Sherman, Texas back in 1960. Then, two teenagers riding a motorcycle through the backroads of rural Kentucky come face to face with a towering bipedal creature crouched in the road, feeding on the carcass of a dead horse.After that, a listener from Kentucky shares a deeply unsettling encounter that has haunted her for years. While sitting beside a dark lake during a moonless October night, she and her boyfriend witnessed glowing humanoid figures emerging from vacant lakeside homes and gathering silently along the shoreline. Moments later, three massive bioluminescent objects rose from the water and glided across the lake while the strange entities appeared to greet them. What followed left the couple terrified and questioning everything they thought they knew about reality.Later, the guys cover a bizarre phantom van witnessed by a group of fishermen before it seemingly vanished into thin air, along with stories of a deeply haunted house that may hold something sinister within its walls.All of this and more on this eerie installment of Expanded Perspectives!Sponsors:Mars Men: For a limited time, our listeners can get 50% off for life plus Free Shipping AND 3 Free Gifts at MenGoToMars.com.

Vanessa Reiser is a therapist whose life became the focus of a relentless campaign of surveillance and intimidation. After her relationship ended, the harassment didn't stop — it escalated. A private investigator was allegedly hired to follow her, and someone posing as a patient infiltrated her therapy practice. As Vanessa fought to protect herself, she turned to the courts for help. But when her request for a restraining order was denied, the fear and harassment only intensified. Now, Vanessa is speaking publicly about what happened behind the headlines — and what it feels like when the system meant to protect you leaves you vulnerable instead.

Welcome to another episode of Hitting the Streets Podcast!Today on the show, I'm sitting down with the wonderful Michelle Castle for a real and reflective conversation about success, burnout, priorities, and what it truly means to build a life that feels aligned, not just impressive on paper.Michelle wears many hats, mortgage strategist, business coach, author, wife, mom, and leader, but in this episode, she opens up about the moment she realized that constantly carrying it all was not the same as living well. We talk about the pressure of being “the dependable one,” redefining success, learning to say no, and asking the hard question many people avoid:Is your business supporting your life… or quietly consuming it?Michelle also shares the heart behind her book, Rethink Everything You Know About Business Planning, and why she believes so many people are building businesses around expectations instead of intention.This episode is honest, relatable, and filled with reminders that it's okay to pause, reevaluate, and rebuild something that actually fits the life you want to live.Be sure to connect with Michelle Castle and learn more about her upcoming June 24th workshop focused on intentional business planning and alignment.Visit her website: www.michellecastle.info

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off by talking about Kyle's trip to the coast, the heartbreaking end of the Dallas Stars' playoff run, and the destructive tornadoes that recently swept through the area.

Kelly thought it was just another shift—until a customer she had never met asked for her by name. He wouldn't take no for an answer, pushing for her number and warning he'd just keep coming back. But it wasn't random. Kelly later learned he had been watching her online for weeks—studying her videos and tracking details until he found where she worked. She reported it. She took action. But the experience didn't end there—and it's changed how she lives her life.

This episode of Expanded Perspectives brings together a set of encounters that all share one thing in common: something happened, and no one involved has ever been able to fully explain it. Kyle and Cam talk about a long-haul drive across the country that should have been routine, until a stretch of empty highway near Roswell, New Mexico seems to break the rules of distance and time. What should have been a two-hour drive somehow loops back on itself, complete with a witness who remembers it happening.From there, a late-night search for a local legend in rural Virginia turns into a face-to-face encounter with something that looks almost like a deer… but isn't. And it doesn't end there.They also hear from a former Air Force airman who was quietly reassigned during the aftermath of Mount St. Helens, tasked with guarding something in a remote, high-security site. Decades later, he's still not convinced they were dealing with human victims.Out in the Arizona desert, two brothers come across something massive, silent, and completely unlike any known animal. No eyes, no face, no clear shape—just a presence that passes over them and disappears.And in the mountains near Yellowstone, a couple driving through the snow encounters a lone figure walking the road in clothing from another time… untouched by the falling snow, and possibly missing something even more unsettling.No conclusions. No easy answers. Just firsthand experiences that don't quite fit into the world as we understand it.

Alissa was first stalked by a woman obsessed with her boyfriend — until the fixation turned on Alissa herself. What followed was relentless: fake accounts, rumors, and harassment that bled into every part of her life — from her relationships to her school and work. She did everything she was told to do. Documented it. Went to court. Got a harassment order. It still didn't stop. Now, in this update, Alissa shares what's happened since — and why, even with the system on your side, justice can still feel out of reach Share Your Story on the Show: strictlystalkingpod@gmail.com Our Sponsors QUINCE Go to https://www.quince.com/strictly for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns.

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off with some easygoing chatter about an unusually cool, rain-soaked spring—before heading straight into far darker territory. Because once the sun goes down and the trees close in, something changes… and everyone feels it.First, a listener shares two chilling encounters with a creature known only as the Hoof Man, said to stalk the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation Reservation in Arizona. What begins as a family cookout quickly spirals into confusion, fear, and missing meat… but the second encounter? That's when things get up close—and far more terrifying.Then, we head deep into the swamps of Louisiana, where another listener recounts a night of illegal hunting that turned into something he's never been able to explain. Step for step, something walked alongside them in the darkness—always just out of sight, always just beyond the beam of their lights. Was it the legendary Honey Island Swamp Monster… or something even stranger?After the break, Cam brings a collection of truly unsettling camping and backpacking encounters that all circle back to one question:Why is being in the woods so unnerving?Is it just our imagination playing tricks on us… or is there something primal—something ancient—watching from between the trees?Lighthearted moments, eerie stories, and a deep dive into that universal, creeping fear of the wilderness… all of that and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives.Sponsors:Mars Men: For a limited time, our listeners can get 50% off for life plus Free Shipping AND 3 Free Gifts at MenGoToMars.com.

Linda is a county prosecutor who became the target of relentless stalking—by someone inside law enforcement. Even with a protection order in place, she says the intrusion never stopped. She's been followed, her home entered, her privacy shattered—until even her own phone calls no longer feel safe. Now, as an investigation unfolds, Linda is forced to navigate a chilling reality: she's not just prosecuting the system—she's fighting to survive it. Hers is a story of power, betrayal, and what happens when the people sworn to protect you become the ones you fear most.

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys discuss what happens when a heart is transplanted… but something else comes with it?The guys explore one of the strangest and most unsettling medical mysteries of our time—reports of personality changes, vivid dreams, and unexplained emotional shifts following organ transplants.From documented cases like Claire Sylvia, who experienced sudden cravings and haunting dreams after receiving a donor heart, to chilling stories of recipients who felt drawn to people and places they had never known… the question begins to surface:Is it possible that our organs carry more than just biological function?Could fragments of memory, emotion, or identity somehow persist… even after death?The guys also dive into the controversial work of Paul Pearsall, who collected accounts of transplant recipients reporting changes that seemed to mirror their donors' lives—fueling the debated concept of “cellular memory.” But not all of these stories are grounded in documented cases. Some drift into darker territory… including disturbing accounts of children who, after receiving transplants, began recalling details they should have never known. Are these simply psychological responses to trauma and survival? The brain trying to make sense of a second chance at life?Or is there something deeper happening beneath the surface—something science has yet to fully understand?Join us as we step into the space between medicine and mystery… where the line between identity and biology begins to blur. Because sometimes…the heart doesn't just keep you alive. Sometimes… it remembers.All of this and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives!Sponsors:Claude AI: Ready to tackle bigger problems?

Cody met her stalker through her small business—just another friendly customer, until it wasn't. The messages didn't stop. The visits got too close, too frequent, too intentional. What felt like a connection quickly turned into something obsessive… and controlling. And when Cody tried to walk away, it didn't end—it escalated. Because the truth about who this woman really was—and how far she was willing to go—made it clear this was never just a customer.

Send us Fan MailFaria Ash on Building the Autism Foundation, Training, Advocacy, and Safer Care in the UK Host Tony Mantor welcomes back autism advocate Faria Ash, who returns to share her progress since discussing her book on toilet training for autistic and SEND children and adults, based on her nonverbal daughter Aia's real-life story. Faria explains that the book's success led her to form the Autism Foundation in the UK (officially launched October 2023), expanding from workshops into autism training for communities, professionals, schools, and care homes, with a focus on communication, social interaction, repetitive behaviors, sensory impairments, and reducing challenging behaviors to improve quality of life. She describes launching an advocacy service to help parents navigate UK processes such as EHCP reports and school documentation so children receive appropriate support. The conversation addresses misconceptions about autism—especially the idea that “autism is a superpower”—and outlines autism “levels” (1–3) through the core assessment areas of communication, social interaction, and repetitive behaviors. Faria also discusses the overlap between autism and anxiety, emphasizing routines and structure as key supports, and shares challenges including resistance from authorities and difficulties fundraising to create a safe care facility amid reports of abuse in care settings. For Autism Awareness Month, she emphasizes that true inclusion requires asking autistic people and families what practical accommodations would help them participate in schools, workplaces, and communities, and she shares how to find her online via autismfoundation.co.uk and her social media profiles.

Megan Mitchell is an attorney who specializes in Title IX cases on college campuses, including stalking. While many people think of Title IX as addressing sexual misconduct, it also covers stalking—often in ways that are uniquely complicated. On close-knit campuses, shared classes, dorms, and social circles can make it nearly impossible for victims to avoid someone who refuses to respect boundaries. Today, Megan helps us understand how stalking shows up in the Title IX system—and why these cases can be especially challenging for students trying to feel safe at school.

Jordan thought her divorce would bring freedom — but instead, the abuse followed her online. What began as a whirlwind romance turned into control and fear. After leaving the marriage, she was met with texts, emails, fake accounts, and disturbing messages from her ex — who even impersonated others to reach her and sent wedding photos years later. For over a decade, he resurfaced at her most vulnerable moments, blurring the line between digital harassment and real-world danger — until she finally took legal action to stop him.  Share Your Story on the Show: strictlystalkingpod@gmail.com  Guest Links: Jordan TikTok  Our Sponsors Factor factormeals.com/strictly50off and use code strictly50off to get 50 percent off and free breakfast for a year.

Are you the gatekeeper?When I first started my degree in journalism  and PR, we often talked about the gatekeepers in traditional media… the publisher, the producer, the journalist, the editor. Other people were in charge of deciding if your voice would be heard on television, in print media, or on the radio. The gatekeepers controlled the access.Podcasting allows you to share your story in the most real, deep, authentic way...simply as you. You don't have to wait until someone gives you permission or grants you access.Take this episode as your permission slip to open the gates! Stop being your own gatekeeper. Share your story. More women need to be sharing so we can dream into the possibilities and examples we hear. It matters more than you know.Now, you can watch guest podcast episodes on YouTube HERE!! Contact Info:Julie Berman - Hostwww.womenwithcooljobs.com@womencooljobs (Instagram)Julie Berman's LinkedIn Profile Send Julie a text!!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I absolutely LOVE being the host and producer of "Women with Cool Jobs", where I interview women who have unique, trailblazing, and innovative careers.

More than 45 years ago, Terri was stalked for nearly five years by a man who followed and watched her relentlessly. Decades later, while watching a documentary about the unsolved murder of Dorothy Jane Scott, she realized the stalking behavior and timeline were chillingly similar to what she experienced.

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, Kyle dives into a collection of spine-chilling, one-off encounters that blur the line between the ordinary and the truly inexplicable.We start in the dense woodlands of central Indiana, 1985, where a routine squirrel hunt turns into a nightmare. One man's tranquil afternoon shatters when he witnesses something immense and ape-like descend from the treetops—a creature so enormous, so unnatural, it leaves him certain he is staring death in the face. This isn't an isolated sighting; the region has a history of strange, upright figures and encounters that suggest the forest may hold more than just trees and wildlife.From the shadows of the Indiana woods, we move to the sun-scorched deserts of Kelvin, Arizona, where four men searching for turquoise make an encounter stranger than science fiction. A UFO descends silently from the sky, revealing not monsters or aliens, but a family—two men, two women, and three children—dressed in casual clothes, unpacking a barbecue, toys, and a picnic in broad daylight. And when one of the men approaches the witnesses with an oddly human comment about rocks, the mystery deepens: are these beings extraterrestrial, or something far closer to home?Finally, we step inside the quiet terror of home, with two chilling “creature-in-the-house” stories. In The Corner Man, a young boy awakens to find a shadowy, humanoid figure watching him from the darkest corner of his bedroom. In The Hallway Crawler, an eleven-year-old faces something crawling down the hall at night—its movements disturbingly human, yet painfully wrong, leaving a lasting fear of the darkness itself.All of this and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives!Sponsors: Claude AI: Ready to tackle bigger problems?

Kelly was stalked by the man she escaped. She thought leaving would end the violence. Instead, it escalated. The relationship was over—but the monitoring, intimidation, and constant fear of being watched had only just begun. As she navigated restraining orders and safety plans, Kelly was forced to rebuild her life in a world that no longer felt safe. Years later, she would finally speak publicly about what happened—and turn that trauma into something powerful: training personal protection dogs for survivors still living in fear.

Victoria was just 13 when a boy from her church became her stalker. It started with him showing up at her house. Then he was watching her sleep. Soon came the carved name in his skin, the bloody razor blades in the mail, and the promises to kill her — and anyone she loved. She went to police. But in her small town, his family was the police. More than twenty years later, he still comes back looking for her. Share Your Story on the Show: strictlystalkingpod@gmail.com Our Sponsors Progressive Insurance Press play on comparing auto rates.

Lori Morrison is a retired private investigator, former host of The Unlovely Truth, and founder of She Shepherds, where she works to expose physical, emotional, and spiritual safety failures within churches. She's also the author of multiple books on personal and institutional safety and is preparing to launch a new podcast, Shielded, through the National Police Network. Today, Lori joins us to unpack the unique and often hidden dangers of stalking by a religious authority — the added layer of coercive control, the importance of trusting your instincts even when the person targeting you holds spiritual power, and what churches must do to stop protecting perpetrators and start protecting survivors.

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys delve into the dark, unnerving world of shadow beings. From fleeting silhouettes at the edge of your vision to the infamous Hat Man, these shadowy figures have haunted human consciousness across cultures and centuries.Witnesses describe tall, featureless shapes that evoke a feeling of dread, sometimes accompanied by paralysis or an oppressive presence. Are they merely neurological tricks—products of sleep paralysis and hypnagogic hallucinations—or is there something far more sinister lurking in the corners of our reality? The guys explore some terrifying reportsAll of that and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives!Sponsors: Claude AI: Ready to tackle bigger problems?

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the boys emerge from the grip of a recent storm, only to step straight into something far colder and far stranger.From the frozen woods of Virginia, a group of U.S. Marines find themselves stalked by something massive—something that should not exist. In Ohio, a quiet night shatters when a mother and daughter come face-to-face with a shimmering Glimmer Man. Half a world away, an Australian listener recounts a disturbing encounter with something small, ancient, and very much alive.Then Kyle takes us deep into the world's darkest green hells—the Amazon and the Congo—where the jungle swallows light and reason alike. Tales of impossible creatures emerge from the shadows: living dinosaurs, colossal serpents, and giant man-eating spiders. Alongside whispers of lost cities and forbidden places, one truth becomes clear—the jungle is not just alive… it is watching.All of this and more on this chilling installment of Expanded Perspectives.Sponsors: IQBAR: Right now, IQBAR is offering our special podcast listeners 20% off all IQBAR products, plus get FREE shipping.
