Deep within the swampy jungles of Central Africa lurks a legend: Mokele-mbembe. This name, translating roughly to "one who stops the flow of rivers" in the Lingala language, refers to a creature said to inhabit the Congo Basin. Described as a monstrous, long-necked sauropod, Mokele-mbembe has captured the imaginations of cryptozoologists and locals alike for centuries, sparking debate over whether it's a relic from the dinosaur era or a product of folklore. Join Ivan and Nate as they pack their heaviest weaponry and head out on a journey down the Congo River, not in search of Kurtz, but rather, what some believe to be the last remaining dinosaur on Earth: Mokele-Mbembe.

In August of 1993, the hit television series Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers dropped on the Fox Kids network and took America's youth by storm. Toys, Halloween costumes, and other merchandise were flying off the shelves, and the creators of the show were flyin' high. To this day, the series is still running; proving its staying power and giving birth to multiple generations of fans; bridging the gap between young kids and old crusty neckbeards who refuse to grow up. However, a suspicious amount of death, bad luck, greed and other negativity has loomed over many of the show's cast members over the last few decades, causing many to wonder: Is there a CURSE on the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers?

Imagine over 60 children claiming to witness a UFO landing and telepathic communication with strange beings. You might be inclined to believe it to be an urban legend, but that's exactly what happened at the Ariel School in Ruwa, Zimbabwe in 1994. During recess, dozens of schoolchildren witnessed a shocking sight: A silvery craft swooped down from the sky, landing in a field beyond the playground. Small, large-headed beings emerged, delivering a chilling message: a telepathic warning about Earth's bleak future caused by human environmental neglect. Nearly 30 years later, most of the witnesses, now as adults, claim that the experience was real and as serious as a heart attack, and some still suffer from PTSD because of it. But was it all real, or merely imagined? Join Ivan and Nate as they journey to the majestic continent of Africa and try to get to the bottom of this most legendary close encounter of the 3rd kind.

Indiana Jones had nothing on Jim Thompson. This American-born architect-turned-war-hero-turned-silk-tycoon lived a life like no other; throwing away his successful, well-paying, and highly prestigious career as a New York City architect and ballet director to join the US Army prior to its involvement in World War 2. He became a highly decorated soldier and expert in guerilla warfare and espionage, and after the war, fell in love with and settled down in Thailand only to leave an indelible mark on his new adopted home city of Bangkok. Jim has been credited with almost single-handedly snatching the entire Thai silk industry from the jaws of irrelevancy, having revived the industry through his own personal investment and entrepreneurship, and heavily promoting it in the West, where it became high fashion among Hollywood elites. He devoted his life toward preserving Southeast Asian artwork and artifacts, and immersed himself into a culture which he was not born into but adopted as his own. Jim was one-of-a-kind, with an unparalleled taste in fine art and an eye for design. Yet, the final chapter to the remarkable life of this renaissance man remains tragically unwritten. While on vacation in the Cameron Highlands of Malaysia, Jim disappeared during an afternoon stroll on Easter Sunday of 1967. He was never seen or heard from again, and his disappearance continues to haunt the Southeast Asian region to this day. What happened to Jim Thompson?

Heavy metal icon, voice of a generation and pillar of the community Dee Snider can be called many things, but one thing you can’t call him is a disbeliever in the paranormal after he had his own shocking experience with the shadowy world of the paranormal. After his brother-in-law was gunned down in cold blood, and the killer remained a free man, strange, inexplicable happenings began happening all over the Snider family home, culminating in a message for the family from beyond the grave; a message of hope – to just move on, and that there's nothing they can do.

In early 1993, just outside the small town of Moxee, Washington, an unidentified man was struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver while out walking in the middle of the highway late one evening. Without any form of identification on his body, or any known missing persons to link him to, he became known to local law enforcement as Moxee John Doe. By 2004, through a groundbreaking new technology called Google, a break would bust the whole case wide open, revealing his true identity: a man by the name of David Glenn Lewis. However, this did nothing but raise far more questions than it answered….   Join Kyle and Nate as they attempt to get to the bottom of this mystery, once and for all.   SOURCES & FURTHER INFORMATION https://thecrimewire.com/true-crime/The-Strange-Disappearance-and-Death-of-David-Glenn-Lewis https://www.seattlepi.com/local/article/1993-hit-run-victim-is-finally-identified-1156263.php https://www.cbsnews.com/news/google-helps-solve-john-doe-case/ https://www.doenetwork.org/media/news73.html https://unidentified-awareness.fandom.com/wiki/David_Lewis https://987thebomb.com/the-strange-case-of-missing-amarillo-lawyer-david-glenn-lewis/ https://wickedness.net/murders/david-glenn-lewis/ https://lostnfoundblogs.com/f/david-glenn-lewis-cross-country-conundrum https://strangeco.blogspot.com/2020/05/the-mysterious-death-of-david-glen-lewis.html https://img1.wsimg.com/isteam/ip/b081b982-3862-491a-bb0a-2c3d61b6e56c/20210128_175017.jpg/:/cr=t:0%25,l:0%25,w:100%25,h:100%25/rs=w:1280 --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nate3901/message

It’s the film that’s generated unparalleled controversy. The granddaddy of all bigfoot footage. A mere 954 frames of grainy footage taken deep in the wilderness of Northern California that continues to make heads explode over 56 years later. To some, it’s obviously just some bonehead in an ape costume, because they can tell by some of the pixels. But to others, the subject in the video is absolutely a real-life, living, breathing, sasquatch, because they can tell by some of the OTHER pixels. For nearly 60 years, this footage has been the subject of intense debate and scrutiny. If it’s a hoax, it’s caused thousands of middle-aged men to waste their precious lives slamming baseball bats into trees really hard, and screaming as loud as they can into the woods for no apparent reason (Which is awesome in and of itself). But if authentic, it’s arguably one of, if not THE most important pieces of footage mankind has ever recorded. Was the Patterson-Gimlin footage authentic, or a clever ruse?
