SHOW NOTES: S4-E06   TERRIFYING CHARLES MILLS LAKE MONSTER!!! In this episode we take a look at the Charles Mills Lake Monster. Much like Scotland and its famous Loch Ness, Ohio is seemingly a hotbed for reports of unique alleged aquatic-based cryptids. Charles Mills Lake Reservoir, near Mansfield, Ohio, is said to boast its very own aquatic monster. Nestled in between Cleveland and Columbus, the lake is said to be the home of a unique amphibious creature that is unlike any other cryptid ever reported. In 1959, three young men from Ohio claimed to have had a face-to-face encounter with one of the most bizarre creatures ever to emerge from a murky lake bed. It was an encounter so brief and perplexing that even many cryptozoologists don’t know what to make of it.

SHOW NOTES: S4-E05   THE MYSTICAL SPEAR OF DESTINY!!! In this episode we’ll tell you all about the Spear of Destiny, also called the Holy Lance or the Holy Spear. It’s allegedly the lance that pierced the side of Jesus as he hung on the cross during his crucifixion. For lovers of history and the occult alike, there are ancient objects which continue to intrigue and puzzle us. Among these are the Holy Grail, the Shroud of Turin and the Holy Lance or ‘Spear of Destiny’. For some, the lance is a medieval artifact only half as old as some claim. For others, the spear is an object of vast occult power. It does exist, but trying to chase down the various legends about it can be challenging. But we’ll give it a shot so you can decide for yourself whether this relic from history actually exists.

SHOW NOTES: S4-E04   10 Alien Encounters Debunked!!! In this episode we tell you of ten alleged alien encounters with humanity that initially were believed, but eventually were debunked and discredited… at least by skeptics! These demystified encounters were first believed to be actual instances where humanity came into contact with or were influenced by alien beings, potentially proving extraterrestrials actually exist. But not so fast! As these cases have been more thoroughly investigated over the years, they appear to be readily identified as mistakes or outright hoaxes. That is, skeptics believe these are easily explained. It’s a new and unique episode for the show as we step fully into the skeptics perspective of ten well known alien experiences.

SHOW NOTES: S4-E03   THE CHICAGO BAT CREATURE!!! In this new episode, we look into a really strange creature that has been spotted in Chicago… a bat creature!!! A winged bat-like humanoid creature to be exact!  It made its presence known with sightings in the city of Chicago back in 2011. And the sightings seem to spike every summer. That could be a big problem, as it seems whatever showed up in 2011 has decided to stay! Sightings of the bat creature were also reported throughout Chicago in 2017, when several high-profile and terrifying encounters occurred. In fact, by the second week in August 2017, there had been nearly 30 sightings of a "large, flying humanoid" in the Chicago area. So what is this strange cryptid that looks like a giant bat, but also has humanoid features? What did witnesses report seeing? You’ll find out!

SHOW NOTES: S4-E02   THE ARIEL SCHOOL ALIEN INCIDENT!!! In this new episode, we look into a truly chilling UFO and aliens case in Africa! On 16 September 1994, there was a UFO sighting outside Ruwa, Zimbabwe. 62 pupils at the Ariel school, aged between six and twelve, said they saw one or more silver craft descend from the sky. These craft landed in a field near their school. Some of the children claimed one or more creatures dressed all in black then approached them! The beings telepathically communicated to them a message with an environmental theme, frightening them and causing them to become hysterical. Fortean writer Jerome Clark has called the incident the “most remarkable close encounter of the third kind of the 1990s”. But do skeptics agree? Was it a case of actual alien contact or just mass hysteria? And what was the message imparted to the children? We’ll find out!
