Belief Hole

What fantastical fragments of lost technology lie beneath the sands of time? What has already been discovered, yet remains cloaked in mystery?  Whispers of ancient nano-tech discoveries in the rivers of the Ural mountains?! Rumors of 20-ton, monster-made sarcophagi in narrow pyramid passageways?! Seemingly man-made nails, driven into Jurassic rock?! These mysteries (and more) we explore, on today’s Journey- millions of years deep into the ever-deepening Belief Hole! Also.. “Honey, have you seen my limonite concretions?”, the simulation exposed in the studio, and Chris is a courageous man!

On this out of this world (sorry, i had to) episode, we dig into the concept of Paleo Abduction, with an 1892 case of alleged alien abscondence - the first published account! On the heels of this is an incredible mini-van twirling write-in of an extraterrestrial campground encounter, as well as a most compelling clip from Small Town Monsters documentary series, 'On the Trail of UFO's'! Then we top it all off with an intriguing interview with Daniel Kraus about his enthralling novel of Americana Abduction, 'Bent Heavens', as well as his future work with George A Romero's zombie legacy and its surprising connection with research into Haitian Voodoo practices.

You might think 'Gnome'-body is scared of gnomes, right? Oh.. well you'd be dead wrong, my friend. All throughout the world, there are stories, legends and beliefs of the 'hidden folk'. Whether it be the Huldufólk of Iceland, the pointed-tooth, people-eating Nirumbee of the Crow in native North America, or your friendly fox-riding, forest protecting 'David the Gnome'-style Nisse of Nordic lore, these elemental-type others are just another reason to be reverent of nature, and in some cases, fearful to dim the flame of your campfire. Coming up on this episode, we recount some captivating and bizarre modern encounters with gnome-like creatures and other hidden folk and examine the potential reality and cultural connections of these folkloric beings. So, leave some food out for the fairies and some iron for the dwarves, and lets dig down deep to uncover the inner workings of the Hidden Folk. Also... Paracelsus Gnome Naming, Horse Hair Braiding, and Fiendish Fairy Shadow Theft

** This is a Special Expansion Episode Release - More Available on Patreon! The mysterious winter nights continue with this probing exploration into the dark side of Native American witchcraft and lore. In this episode, we present real stories of skinwalker encounters- creatures turned from man to monster by the practice of a dark occulted magic, kept secret by the Navajo and other native tribes, for fear that to even speak the name ‘Skinwalker’ would invite a most grave and sinister retribution. So burn some sage, and keep the lights low as we respectfully but inquisitively conjure the dark magical mystique of the American Southwest in an effort to cast some light on the those things kept hidden: shapeshifters and Skinwalkers.
