Ep 236: Your True Stories – Volume 1
“I just felt right then and there, that something was not right about that cave.”
Description:
We're marvelously fortunate and extraordinarily grateful that so many listeners have sent us their personal stories of mysterious experiences over the years. While it's not possible to respond to all of them, we can and should present some for the entertainment and edification of all. So as thanks to those who've shared, and a treat for us that love to hear them, we're featuring three stories from a recent call for submissions. Our first account comes from Terra Greenleaf, who managed to capture audio of strange animal sounds while at a facility in a deeply wooded area. Those familiar with Bigfoot research might classify them as typical "calls." However, this encounter is incredibly eerie because there appears to be a large semi-circle of the creatures and they might be hunting prey. Our next anecdote comes from Dr. Dominic Boyer, whose family occupied a house in Chicago once lived in by eminent physicist Enrico Fermi, known as the "architect of the nuclear age." Having died in the home, the Boyers believe his spirit haunted them while they lived there, as what they saw looked an awful lot like him, perhaps to Fermi's consternation. Our final interview is with Tom Delaney, who recalls several unnerving encounters with a mysterious force while hunting in the hills of central Pennsylvania. It seemed to stalk him and his hunting buddy, taunting with mimicry and snapping mid-sized tree trunks. Whatever this thing or things were, perhaps it was toying with them or delivering a stern warning.
We all know it takes no small amount of courage and confidence to publicly share a testimony that often leads to criticism and ridicule. We tend not to believe what we see on the internet because we're unsure of the source. On the other hand, we may doubt the narratives we hear from our family and friends. So in light of this losing proposition, we'd again like to thank our listeners for their bravery and generosity and let them know that they are not alone in their experiences. We all welcome them with open arms to our society of the strange.
Audio and Video Evidence From Our Guests:
Terra Greenleaf’s 1st smartphone video clip captured strange animal noises in the woods near the Red Lake reservation in northern Minnesota.
Video from our 3rd guest Tom Delaney shows a hunter’s recently abandoned game ground blind where two trees were unexplainably snapped over it from an unusual height.
Location:
The site where listener Tom Delaney and his hunting buddy saw a rather large, approximately 10-foot-tall shelter made of tree branches sitting on a narrow terrace on a steep and heavily wooded hillside. This location was only 5 or 6 miles away from where Tom had another mysterious encounter four years prior.
