On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys start the show off by talking about Kyle and Luke's recent trip to the Dallas World Aquarium in downtown Dallas, Texas. Then, a listener writes into the show about multiple encounters they had with the Hat Man. The Hat Man is a phenomenon in which witnesses report seeing a shadowy entity dressed in an old top hat on some occasions, and on others with a "fedora" type hat. Next, two men in the summer of 1990 were out fishing one night in Rhode Island when they had a run-in with some strange-looking illuminated entities running around on the shore of the lake. What were they doing? After the break, Cam brings up some bizarre military encounters from around the world spanning many years, miles, and wars. They say battle proves mankind doesn’t need to invent monsters, as the monsters were inside us all along. Yet sometimes soldiers report sightings of what can only be described as actual monsters, or in other cases, otherworldly beings. Are these battlefield stresses, or are men whose lives literally depend on remaining alert and aware, seeing things that the rest of us might miss? Do mythological beasts stalk our battlefields? Do curious entities observe from a distance, making notes on our primal, savage nature? All of this and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives! Sponsors:

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys start the show off by talking about how due to some bad weather, the Philson home has been without the internet for days! Then, a person tells a crazy story about a flying humanoid just like in the movie Jeepers Creepers! It took place around 3:00 am in Ohio. Next, a person writes in about a strange encounter they had with what they think was a skinwalker. After the break, Kyle brings up some strange stories about the Bogeyman! Also spelled boogieman or boogie man, any of a variety of fictional and oftentimes folkloric monsters described in stories designed to frighten children. Tales of the bogeyman and various analogs have been used for centuries all across the world to influence children to behave as their parents command and to exercise caution in dangerous situations or areas. The term is also sometimes used more generally to describe any fearsome or dreaded thing.  This creature varies from person to person, as it has no definite appearance and is simply the embodiment of terror. Although usually depicted as a masculine entity, it can be female or genderless. While the description of the Bogeyman differs on a cultural level, there are often some shared similarities to the creatures. The Bogeyman is depicted as having claws, talons, and sharp teeth. Along with that, the Bogeyman is of the spirit variety, while the minority are demons, witches, and other legendary creatures. Some are even described to have certain animal features such as horns, hooves, and bug-like appearances. All of this and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives! Sponsors:

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys start the show off by talking about the ridiculous amount of pollen, ragweed, and other allergens blowing around in the north Texas air. Then, a person claims to have possibly spotted the Jersey Devil near the pine barrens of southern New Jersey. Next, a person writes in with a possible Sasquatch encounter that happened while out looking for gold in Humbolt County, California. After the break, Cam brings up some chilling tales of inventors who created something that led to their own demise. The phrase “fake news” has become almost meaningless as people use it to describe anything going on that they don’t like, but the original purpose was essential. There are websites out there that present conspiracy theories as actual facts when they’re not, and we’ve learned that they actually convince vast amounts of people sometimes. It’s pretty scary. Even though most conspiracy theories don’t hold water, some situations are disturbing enough to warrant another look or two. Over the years, scientists have been on the cutting edge, making pivotal discoveries that have changed the course of the world. It’s understandable that some people might not want those discoveries getting out into the world. All of this and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives! Sponsors:

If it had worked out differently, the group of settlers that came to be known as the Donner Party would have slipped over the Sierra Nevada into California—and obscurity. But poor planning, a series of bad decisions, and early snowstorms caused 60 of the original pioneers to become stranded in the mountains during the winter of 1846. And as hypothermia set in and food ran out, many resorted to that greatest of human taboos: cannibalism. All of this and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives! Show Notes:

The United States is full of historical homes with interesting (and spooky) stories attached to them, and it's not too hard to find "real" haunted houses if you know where to look. Anyone who is a fan of ghost hunting or paranormal investigation shows can tell you where you might run into some of the country's scariest real-life ghosts. Famous homes like the Whaley House, the Winchester Mystery House, and Lizzie Borden's Fall River home all have well-known reputations for scaring visitors out of their wits. We get it, abandoned hospitals, morgues, funeral homes, old sanitariums, and creepy old houses are often times haunted. But what about places you never think of like Police Stations? Turns out a lot of Police Stations are haunted! All of this and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives! Show Notes:

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys start the show off talking about the recent UFO activity over North America. Over the last couple of weeks, the US military has shot down four UAP's. What are they and where did they come from? Then, a person writes into the show about a possible time slip they experienced while working on an undisclosed military base. After the break, Kyle brings up some more strange tales of guardian angels or the Third Man! Some people who are in dire situations will and have experienced something paranormal. An Unseen Assistant! A presence, a guardian angel, a guide, perhaps a passed on loved one, or even a Christ-like figure. We know them now as the Third Man. But what is the Third Man? Over the years, various theories have been proposed to explain the Third Man. These attempts at understanding are themselves a record of man's changing conception of himself. They begin with the guardian angel, followed by the sensed presence and the shadow person. As clerics and then psychologists, and finally neurologists, theorized about the phenomenon, the trend has been a gradual reduction from the outside in, from God, to the mind, to the brain. The Third Man represents a real and potent force for survival, and the ability to access this power is a factor, perhaps the most important factor, in determining who will succeed against seemingly insurmountable odds, and who will not. And yet, in these stories in situations where success appears to be impossible, or death imminent something happens. There, amid the anxiety, fear, blood, sadness, exhaustion, torment, isolation, and fatigue, is an outstretched hand another existence, proffering a "transfusion of energy, encouragement, and instinctual wisdom from a seemingly external source." A presence appears, a Third Man who, "leads you out of the impossible." All of this and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives! Show Notes:

Next, some police officers back in the summer of 1989 in Washington state, see a strange glowing orb with a creature walking inside! After the break Cam brings up the strange legend of the Victorio Peak Treasure and Milton Ernest "Doc" Noss. Victorio Peak, a craggy outcropping of rock barely five hundred feet tall, lies in the center of a dry desert lake known as the Hembrillo Basin. Beyond the Hembrillo Basin is a hundred-mile stretch of desert known as the Jornada del Muerto. Victorio Peak, located in northern Dona Ana County, now lies within the White Sands Missile Range in south-central New Mexico. However, long before Victorio Peak was encompassed by the government, a man by the name of Milton Ernest “Doc” Noss spent some time exploring Victorio Peak while on a deer hunt. Inside he found a hoard of treasure including coins, jewels, saddles, and priceless artifacts including a gold statue of the Virgin Mary. He also found some old letters, the most recent of which was dated 1880. This treasure was only the beginning. In a deeper cavern, Doc found what he thought was a stack of worthless iron bars. He estimated there were thousands of these bars, each weighing over forty pounds stacked against a wall. He was barely able to lift one, much less think of carrying it back to the surface. Later, the wealth in the cave would be calculated to be worth more than two billion dollars. But he would never obtain all of the treasure, it seems that the government swooped in and took it all. Others claim it was a giant hoax! All of this and more on this week's episode of Expanded Perspectives! Sponsors:

Hosted by Ash Kelley and Alaina Urquhart from the hit show Morbid. When 90-year-old Laurence Pilgeram drops dead on the sidewalk outside his condo, you might think that’s the end of his story. But, really, it’s just the beginning. Because Laurence and others like him have signed up to be frozen and brought back to life in the future. And that belief will pull multiple generations of the Pilgeram family into a cryonics soap opera filled with dead pets, gold coins, grenades, fist fights, mysterious packages, family feuds, Hall of Fame baseball legends, and frozen heads — lots of frozen heads.
