Back in 1980 soldiers at a US airforce base in the UK began seeing strange lights in the sky.
For days they saw and reported crafts and lights of no known origin above and in the forest surrounding their base. They even went so far as reporting their sightings to the local police, but as you can imagine they were not taken seriously at all.

Lets head back to the West Coast as we look at one of the most haunted houses in the US.
Built in the 1850's the Whaley house was made as a home for Thomas and Anna Whaley and their 6 children. But it would be so much more than that. It housed a theater troupe, a courtroom, and a general store.
But even before there was a house there, this land was used as the local gallows. One of the last executions was that of a...
This week we are taking a more historical look at a person who seem to be super human rather than just human.
Jack Churchill was not born a war hero but it didn't take long for him to get that title when he finally join the military. During WW2 troops were given machine guns, rifles, bombs and all manner of weapons to fight against the nazis, but that was not Jack's style.
Mad was added to Jack's name due...

One of the most famous ships in the world is the Queen Mary. Stationed in Long Beach the Queen Mary spent decades taking passengers back and forth across the sea.
Whether it was as a luxury ship or a military transporter this ship saw thousands of souls cross through her doors, and not all of them have left.

Come with us to my birthplace as we look at two of my favorite places in the whole world.
Built in the late 1800's for the mentally ill in NC Dorothea Dix Hospital stood as a beacon of hope for many people in the state until her doors were closed in 2012.
On the same plot of land stands the majestic NC State. Go Wolfpack!! Built in the late 1800's as well this university has taught some of the brightest minds ...
This week Ian gives us a taste of Rethinking Our History with a paranormal twist.
The Nazis are known for the many atrocities they committed during the Holocaust but not many people know of their more occult beliefs. Well, if you're a Supernatural fan you knew it already due to the several Nazi related episodes.
More than just using the occult to control and intimidate his followers, many people believed Adolf Hitl...
In the largest desert in the world, the Gobi Desert, there is a legend of a creature so deadly that a touch and kill a man.
The Mongolian Death Worm is the stuff of nightmares, a worm that can grow up to 5 feet long, has spikes at both ends and shoots venom at it's victims.
But it is real? Or is what people have reported seeing for years nothing more than an unknown species of snake or legless lizard?
We may never k...
This week Ian brings us into the piedmont of our home state to look at an area that has been talked about for centuries.
Out in the woods of Chatham County NC is a circle of barren ground that can not grow plants. There is some grass these days, but no trees, no flowers, nothing other than the hardiest of grasses.
What is it about this place that can grow nothing? Are the rumors of large bear like creatures chasing peop...
We are back in NC this week, kinda, to look at a place that since it was found by white colonist has been best described by one word, DISMAL.
For thousands of years before colonizers ever saw the coast of NC and Virginia the native people of the area hunted and cultivated the swamp. When enslaved people were able to flee to freedom, they found a place of peace and safety within the boundary of the swamp.
But there is ju...
This week Ian takes us on a journey around the world to look at different cultures and their legends and lore on tree folks and dryads.
Believed to be a protective spirit that resides as part of the tree itself, many cultures have legends of these creatures.
As with most creatures of lore, different people see them differently, some as a guardian, others as a menace. But in the end their lesson is all the same, respect ...
I'm real damn sorry about this one folks. Of all the dark evil cults I could have covered, this has got to be the worse one to date, and for that, I am truly sorry.
In the 1970's, French Canadian Roch Thériault began amassing followers for his doomsday cult. After being kicked out of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, he built a community where he and his followers would wait out the apocalypse.
But when his ch...
We are back in West Virginia this week looking into the visits from the one known as Indrid Cold.
Over several days Indrid and a local West Virginia man got to know each other and learn about the cultures of both worlds. But Indrid really seems to be an outlier for his race.
Many people have had reports of nightmares of a grinning man, most waking up screaming after he enters their dreams. And he is also tied into the l...
We are back this week to look at one of our favorite topics, Lost Cities. In particular we are looking at the search for the Lost City of Z that took the life of explorer Percy Fawcett, his son Jack, and a friend Raleigh.
Percy's life was one of adventure and service. He served many years in the military, even volunteering in his 50's when WW1 started.
But the biggest , and most infamous exploration Percy woul...
Well we are starting off the next 100 episodes with a bang. And a smile.
In the 1960's reports of strange "people", tall men, some bald, others with slicked back hair, began coming in.
Some of the people who experienced the person known as The Smiling Man or Indrid Cold, said he was a nice guy who was curious about our planet, while others only saw the figure run at them and got the hell out of there.
Epis...
We finally made it, number 100!!!! We have covered many topics over the last two years and this week we wanted to sit down and take a look back at some of our favorites.
We take a look at three different alien/ UFO incidents we covered, visit those blasted stairs in the woods again, fly over to Hawaii, then come back to WNC to have a chat with a member of the EBCI.
AND THEN, there is also a special look at Rethinking ...
We're gonna party like it's 1999! Well not really but next week will be our 100th episode, can you believe it?
This week Ian takes us up to New England where we look into a legend of an escape plan gone wrong.
For years Fort Warren stood as the first line of defense in the Boston Harbor. Like most forts it housed many prisoners, and it was the wife of one of those prisoners who made a plan to free him from cap...
Hello friends and welcome to Season 3!!! Can you guys believe it?!
This year we will be traveling to our first convention as vendors at Hauntlanta on Lake Lanier. Which makes this the perfect time to cover this lake, her sordid history, and the curse that is said to take the lives of more people every year than any other lake in the country.
Said to be the deadliest body of water in the US, the deadly history of this la...
This week Ian takes a look at a phenomnom known as Unidentified Submerged Objects, or UFOs of the ocean.
Back in the day we hosted an episode with Paranormal Misfits in which we spoke to Leslie and Stephen Shaw about there theories of inner terestrials. That leads nicely into the reports of USO's that will go from air to water from the US Navy and others.
For years there have been reports of these ships going in an...
This week was supposed to happen a few weeks ago but we had the guest so she got pushed back a couple weeks.
We look at the legend of the Deer Woman, a figure that has been terrifying generations of indigenous people. She is know to take on the form of a deer, or at least some part of it, as she goes out hunting victims.
But her victims are not great to begin with as many of her legends begin with her rape and murder so...
