Expanded Perspectives

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives Classic Rewind we’re going all the way back to November 25, 2013, when we spoke with author, researcher, fellow Texan, and friend Lyle Blackburn about two of his books The Beast of Boggy Creek and The Lizard Man of Scrape Ore Swamp! During his research, Lyle has often explored the remote reaches of the southern U.S. in search of shadowy creatures said to inhabit the dense backwoods and swamplands of these areas. He’s a real hands-on guy. When he’s not investigating these mysterious legends, he is also the frontman and founder of the rock band Ghoultown!   He’s written many books and appeared on many television shows like Monsters & Mysteries in America, Finding Bigfoot, the CBS Morning Show, and some Small Town Monsters documentaries.

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys start the show off talking about Kyle's recent trip to Six Flags over Texas and how he's too old for that sort of thing. Then, fossil footprints show humans in North America for more than 21,000 years. Then, a listener writes in about a story about cops being called out to an old lady's house who claimed that Satan was in her basement. After the break, the boys get into some strange stories about Shadow Beings. Have you ever been reading or watching TV when suddenly, in the periphery of your vision, you catch glimpse of what appears to be a shadowy figure in the room with you? Dark, shadowy, humanoid figures like these are commonly known as shadow people, and they can be extremely scary and unsettling to the people who experience seeing them. But defining exactly what shadow people are (and if they’re paranormal) is up for debate. Descriptions of shadowy, human-like figures have appeared in folklore and religious texts throughout history and cultures. Some e

On today’s show, we’re going all the way back to May 5th, 2014 when we did an exclusive interview with the legendary John Anthony West. This is perhaps our favorite interview we’ve ever done. John Anthony West was an American author, lecturer, guide, and proponent of the Sphinx water erosion hypothesis in geology. Influenced by R.A. Schwaller de Lubicz,  in 1993 his work with Robert M. Schoch, a geologist and associate professor of natural science at the College of General Studies at Boston University was presented by Charlton Heston in an NBC special called “The Mystery of the Sphinx” that won a News & Documentary Emmy Award for Best Research and a nomination for Best Documentary. The documentary contends that the main type of weathering evident on the Great Sphinx and surrounding enclosure walls could only have been caused by prolonged and extensive rainfall during the time period from 10,000 to 5000 BCE and was carved out of limestone bedrock by an ancient advanced culture. This challenged the conventi

This week on Expanded Perspectives Classic Rewind we go all the way back to April 7th, 2014 when we spoke with Rick Osmon about Romans in America prior to Christopher Columbus. Rick Osmon was selected for the United States Air Force Academy right out of high school. He later attended Vincennes University and earned an Associates of Science in Laser and Electro-Optics Technology. He worked for defense contractors a number of years and then took a job with the US Navy as a civilian with an engineering support field activity, specializing in radar, night vision, and laser equipment for surveillance and munitions guidance. Most of this work was in direct support of Special Operations forces equipment acquisitions. In that capacity, Rick also became familiar with video-teleconferencing technology. But all those years, Rick was also reading everything he could find about the weird and unusual, history, archeology, paleontology, geography, cartography, cryptozoology, cryptography, and hollow earth theory. After lea

This week on Expanded Perspectives the guys start the show off talking about the recent passing of Cam's mother-in-law. How Kyle's dad recently came home from a long stint at a rehab center and more recent happenings around Skelekin Studios.

The stories vary from a group of friends being chased by some glowing orb, a person who has dreams of a parallel dimension, a person who is haunted after messing around with a spirit board to a couple of terrifying encounters with Feral people in the woods.

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys start the show off by talking about how Kyle has been trying out all kinds of new bottled or canned water and an update on his father in New Jersey. Then, Cam is officially a grandfather now! Then, they get into the news! After the break, Kyle brings up a recent Alien Abduction story that was sent in from a listener!  Many people claim to have been in contact with aliens. For some, this contact is a matter of aliens visiting their bedroom at night, but for others, it can mean being abducted, taken aboard a spaceship, and once there, being subjected to medical experimentation including the removal of eggs or sperm. Some abductees claim to have formed sexual relationships and produced hybrid offspring with their abductors, as well as having received important information about the fate of the Earth. The prevalence of these beliefs is unknown, but estimates vary from ‘at least several thousand worldwide’, to 3.7 million in American alone. If aliens are visiting

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives Classic Rewind, we’re going all the way back to November 11th, 2013 when Cam and Kyle talked about the Rock Apes of Vietnam as well as 4 out of place objects! Now almost everyone knows what Bigfoot is or Sasquatch, not nearly as many people know about the BAtutut or Rock Ape. sightings of these mysterious creatures by American troops in the jungles of Vietnam throughout the course of the Vietnam War were surprisingly numerous, with many witnesses giving extremely detailed accounts of sightings. One particular hill in Vietnam was the site of so many rock ape sightings that it became known as Monkey Mountain. While no corpses of these strange creatures were ever recovered, or any clear pictures taken of them, the fact that sightings of them were so widespread and common throughout the war makes them worthy at least of a conversation.  Then we talk about Some out-of-place objects like the Coso Artifact, The Aluminum Wedge of Aiud, The Antikythera Device, and the London Ha

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives the guys start the show off talking about the warmer weather here in the United States as well as how Kyle's father has fallen and hit his head again and is in a hospital in New Jersey! Then, they get into the news where a listener calls in with a Centaur sighting his grandfather had in rural Alabama back before the Great Depression. Then a woman sees a Jinmenken walking near her house. After the break Cam brings up some very strange sightings of both Deer Man and Not Deer!  Sightings of the Deer Man have been reported from several U.S. states, although there is some variation in the descriptions given. A hybrid animal, Deer Man has the antlered head of a great stag, a human's torso, and legs described as similar to either those of a man or deer. In addition, it is usually said to be well-muscled, and surprisingly fast for its size. Other accounts gift the beast with the power to transform itself from a regular deer into something else entirely. The same can be said a

Paul lives near Ft. Worth, Texas, with his wife of 34 years and two grown sons. However, his exploring wanderlust has always kicked in and drawn him out into the world looking for adventure. His mother always accused him of leaving good jobs to take up an “exciting job way out in the middle of nowhere.” His early years included many outdoor activities which well suited him. He has always loved working with animals, including birds, dogs, cows, and horses. Because his In-laws are ranchers, this gave him many opportunities to work with and take care of many different kinds of animals.At the age of 16, Paul and five other young men canoed the Boundary Waters Canoe area in Canada for two weeks. During summer breaks while in college, he worked for a boys’ camp in Hinkley, Minnesota, teaching horseback riding and leading horse trips of up to a week into the remote Minnesota woodlands. After marriage, Paul worked as a youth camp manager near Houston, Texas, where he organized canoeing, cycling, and camping trips as

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys start the show off with a bang. They get started with an interesting "Not Deer' sighting and then a "Deer Man" sighting. Then, a sheriff's Deputy writes into the show about how he saw a "Hat Man" walking down a lonely dirt road way out in the country in the middle of the night. After the break, Kyle brings up some more strange sightings of the "Glimmer Man". Encounters with strange entities and creatures can really run a range between the almost plausible to the flat-out absurd. From time to time there appear out of the blue such bizarre cases that they seem to be without any precedent or reason. Among these must surely be those reports of beings or entities that seem to have some sort of invisibility technology, and which appear to be something very much akin to the cloaked aliens of the popular Predator movie franchise, with which they are often compared. They are called Glimmer Man sightings. What are they? Where do they come from? What do they want? All

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys start the show off by talking about how Kyle recently fell into a giant hole filled with water! Then, they get into the news where a listener writes in to talk about a memory they and a friend had of a yellow roller coaster that no one else seems to remember. Is it a shared false memory, a time slip, or proof of parallel universes? Then a soldier recounts a horrifying encounter he had one evening with a pale crawler! After the break Cam brings up some real-life encounters with what can only be described as a Centaur! Centaurs, or creatures with the torso and head of a human and the lower part of a horse, occur in art and literature from very ancient times but are today most commonly associated with Greek and Roman mythology. However, believe it or not, there have been quite of few actual sightings of real-life Centaurs! Are they flesh and blood? Or are they something else?

In 1997, Art Bell, of “Coast to Coast AM,” the popular syndicated late-night radio talk show, received a fax from a man named Mel Waters. The fax explained that Mel had what appeared to be a bottomless pit on his property near Manastash, Washington. Soon thereafter, Art booked Mel on his radio show, where Mel explained what would become known as “Mel’s Hole” to the world. Mel was interviewed over the phone, and at the time of the interview he was not at home, but in the town of Ellensburg, WA. Mel had bought this property a few years earlier, and the previous owners had owned the land for over thirty years prior to that. The neighbors knew of the hole quite well, and would regularly dump their garbage in it, but the hole would never fill. It was a round pit, with a stone retaining wall surrounding it, and extending down, about 15 feet below the ground surface. Beyond the wall, the hole bore through dirt and bedrock, and from there, darkness as far as the eye could see. Mel had never met anybody who could reme

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives the guys start the show off by talking about how Kyle is still terrified about the ongoing Alien invasion as a new video has been released by the government. The video shows a black orb moving above and descending down into the water while following a fleet of ships. Then Cam talks about his recent plumbing adventures and then they get into the news. After the break, Kyle brings up some more upright walking canine sightings, sent in from some of our listeners. Werewolves are present in legends around the world. They were men with the ability (or compulsion) to turn into wolves, either through being bitten by a (were)wolf or through a satanic pact. Werewolves have obvious symbolic overtones. Man and wolf have long been enemies, and culture has typically seen the two as opposites: the essentially good and rational man, and the inherently evil and irrational wolf. To call someone a wolf was rarely a compliment (warriors excepted): in Anglo-Saxon law, outlaws were known a

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives Classic Rewind,  going all the way back to April 21, 2014 when we spoke to the researcher, author, and podcaster Christopher O’brien. Since 1992, Christopher O’Brien has investigated over one thousand paranormal events reported in the San Luis Valley–located in South-central Colorado/North Central New Mexico. Working with law enforcement officials, ex-military, ranchers, and an extensive network of skywatchers, from 1992 to 2002 he documented one of the most intense waves of unexplained activity ever reported from a single geographic region of North America. His ten-year investigation resulted in the four books of his “mysterious valley” trilogy, The Mysterious Valley, Enter the Valley, Secrets of the Mysterious Valley, and Stalking the Herd. His meticulous field investigation of UFO reports, unexplained livestock deaths, Native American legends, cryptozoology, secret military activity, and the folklore, found in the world’s largest alpine valley, has produced one of t
