    ADVENT OF EVIL: Wednesday, December 03 – Falling Star
    Dec 4 2025

    Extraterrestrial Sasquatch: Glowing-Eyed Bigfoot Creatures Emerged From a UFO
    Dec 4 2025
    From the towering peaks of the Himalayas to the swamps of Florida, hairy bipedal creatures have been reported for thousands of years under dozens of names — but the real mystery isn't just what they are, it's why they keep appearing alongside UFOs, vanishing into thin air, and showing up in locations where ancient tribes have long spoken of portals to other worlds.

  • Can Djinn Explain UFOs, Cryptids, Shadow People, and Other Paranormal Incidents?

    Can Djinn Explain UFOs, Cryptids, Shadow People, and Other Paranormal Incidents?
    Dec 3 2025
    Ancient legends describe the Djinn as beings made of smokeless fire — but modern researchers believe these shapeshifting entities from parallel dimensions may be responsible for UFO sightings, shadow people encounters, and alien abductions happening right now.

    IN THIS EPISODE: Could the ancient legends of the Djinn hold the key to understanding shadow people, UFOs, and other paranormal phenomena, or are they simply the unseen architects of myths and mysteries beyond our grasp?

    Dec 3 2025
    A new documentary features testimony from a Pentagon scientist who claims George H.W.

  • "The Monkey's Paw" & "Pickman's Model": W.W. Jacobs & H.P. Lovecraft, Masters of Dread

    "The Monkey's Paw" & "Pickman's Model": W.W. Jacobs & H.P. Lovecraft, Masters of Dread
    Dec 3 2025
    A grieving couple's desperate wish brings something to their door in W.W. Jacobs' 1902 classic, 'The Monkey's Paw.' Then, H.P. Lovecraft reveals the disturbing truth behind one artist's unnervingly lifelike paintings in 'Pickman's Model.

    IN THIS EPISODE: "The Monkey's Paw" was first published in England in 1902. Without giving any spoilers, in the story, three wishes are granted to the owner of The Monkey's Paw, but the wishes come with an enormous price for interfering with fate. It has been adapted to film and stage numerous times… and, of course, now, as a podcast episode. *** Famed horror author H.P. Lovecraft brings us his tale, “Pickman’s Model”. H.P. Lovecraft released the story in 1927, so you might want to consider that for context and perspective while listening. A classic in both the horror genre and science fiction!
