Episode 52 - The Strange Disappearance Of Granger Taylor
Trains, planes, and UFOs. Granger Taylor was a bright and shy young man. Known to his friends as "Gentle Ben," he was a great friend. He was a wizard mechanic, but soon found that the machines of Earth weren't quite enough for him. So Granger did what any typical person would do when bored--found a way to contact aliens and have them invite him on a 42-month interstellar journey. Did Granger actually enter a spaceship back on the night of November 29, 1980 and travel across space? Or did something much more tragic happen to this gentle giant? We also have two listener tales where one we get a two-for-one and they are spooky! And the other is a chance encounter with the spirit of a murder victim. For Video Evidence we watch a video that makes Isabell laugh every time she sees it. We finish out the episode with a cryptid that just wants you to leave his trees alone. Okay, man?

Episode 51 - The Jersey Devil And A Burrito Party
The Jersey Devil is an interesting creature with an interesting background. Is it a creature straight from hell? Did a woman really birth this beast? Probably not... but it's definitely, for sure a dragon. Or, at least Isabell thinks so. We also have two listener tales where one is an unexplained visit from a vengeful family member from beyond the grave, and the other is a spirit seemingly asking for his murder to be solved. For Video Evidence we watch two videos where one has a textbook example of what we think of as a ghost and another that loves to play with Snapchat filters. We finish out the episode with a cryptid that loves to disembowel men. Is she just super angry? Or is she an undead vigilante?

Episode 46 - The Chilling Ghosts Of The Alaskan
The Alaskan has an interesting history behind it. Between being built on a gold-rush town, having a man jump from the third-floor window from a blood-soaked room, and three people gunned down in a double murder-suicide, it's no wonder this place is super haunted. It's definitely somewhere that we will check out in the future, and we highly recommend others check it out as well... unless you have a problem with seeing blood oozing from under the doors during your stay.

Episode 45 - The Tragic Death Of Elisa Lam
Elisa Lam--a smart, funny, and bright 21-year-old taken from this world too soon. She wanted to take a solo trip from Canada to the US and was unfortunately found dead during her travels. But how did it happen? How did she end up in a water tank on top of the hotel she was staying in? Could she have been tormented by an evil spirit she had written about before her death that she'd called "The Creeper?" Was another person involved in her death? Or was it all just a tragic accident? You will not want to miss this intriguing and heartbreaking story.

Episode 44 - The Gold-Obsessed Ghosts Of Deadwood
Deadwood is one of those ghost towns that we find fascinating. Between the history of gun-slinging, violence, death, and the greed that comes with so much gold, it's no wonder this place is overflowing with the paranormal. We also dive into two listener tales where one is a frightening, possible possession and the other makes us just happy that the listener is still here with us. For Video Evidence we watch a video that might just prove that the spirits of children still love to play outside. We finish out the episode with a cryptid that loves to howl at the moon, attack anyone it comes across... and can't count to 13.

Episode 43 - Old School Medical Treatments
Heads up, Fiends. This one gets a little gruesome...
Wow... we did some pretty messed up things back in the day under the name of medicine and science. On one hand, a lot of these old school treatments led to some pretty good current treatments. Trial and error is the way of life and has saved so many people. BUT, that doesn't excuse the horrific things we've done to people under the guise of advancement of medicine. Join us as we go through a few different medical treatments that might just make you thankful for modern medicine.

Episode 42 - Loftus Hall And A Man-Eating Tree
Loftus Hall is said to be one of the most haunted locations in Ireland. And for good reason. Did the devil really visit the hall on one dark and stormy night? Did he potentially impregnate the lord of the hall's daughter? You do not want to miss this WILD story. We also dive into two listener tales where one makes Isabell even more afraid of deep water and the other is devastatingly sad (but spooky, as well). For Video Evidence we watch a video that proves why you should NEVER perform a summoning game. We finish out the episode with a cryptid that is a... tree. Yep, you read that right. A man-eating tree.
