Perhaps it’s not the best-known cryptid, but the Michigan Dogman has crept across the Midwest’s imagination—and embedded itself in the region’s nightmares—largely thanks to a single event in 1987. Was it an attack? A sighting? A mysterious footprint? No, strangers, it was something even more powerful: a voice drifting out, over the radio waves.

Special Thanks: Alvin WIlliams of Affirmative Murder for his vocal talents!

A mannequin with human hair became a doll, and lifelong companion and/or scapegoat, for an eccentric Floridian artist. The rest is (haunted? possessed?) history, and it’s exactly as unsettling as you might guess. And then some.

The legend of Kentucky’s Pope Lick Monster is inexorably tied to the train bridge it supposedly guards—but what is the real danger: the goat-sheep cryptid, or our human need to seek out danger?

The Gulf Breeze UFO Sightings are among the most infamous in US extraterrestrial canon; Floridian Ed Walters claimed that for six months ranging from late 1987 through the spring of 1988, he experienced a number of close encounters with aliens and their space crafts: ones that he allegedly captured on film. MUFON investigators, skeptics, scientists, and even the X-Files’ Agent Fox Mulder have weighed in on Ed’s story: now, we invite you to consider whether the Gulf Breeze Sightings were one of the most remarkable instances of alien contact in history, or simply an elaborate hoax.

South Florida’s Coral Castle is a marvel of human creativity, talent and engineering — so much so that how exactly it came into being is a mystery. But it’s also a monument to love, and loss, and some of the… weirder… corners of the human spirit.

Introducing our podcast, The Fall Line, which focuses on cold cases that have not received enough attention—a clip from our recent three-part series on the case of Chairo Garibay. On December 11th, 2005, 20-year-old Chairo disappeared; she’d planned on attending church with her family in Olivehurst, California, but she never showed. She was reported missing to the Yuba County Sheriff, and both her family and law enforcement began a search that extended through Christmas. It would be five weeks before Chairo was found. Though there would eventually be a 50,000-dollar reward authorized in Chairo’s case, no one has been arrested for her murder.

In the 1940s, two Midwest families faced the same bizarre circumstance: unexplained fires that seemed to spring up from nowhere, burning all over their homes—with no clear source. Was it, as many in the small town of Odon, Indiana suspected, the work of a “fire poltergeist,” or some other supernatural force? Or could it be one of the many theories Air Force investigators floated at the second location, in Macomb Illinois?

In 1973, CB radio enthusiasts all over the U.S. — and apparently, the world — heard the panicked transmissions of a little boy calling himself "Larry," who claimed to be in danger. So why couldn’t an army of New Mexico volunteers and law enforcement find "Little Lost Larry?"

In the late 1970s, a rural Ohio family came face-to-face--or maybe it’s fur-to-fur--with the Midwest’s most infamous version of Bigfoot, the Grassman. Whether you call it Orange Eyes or The Minerva Monster, the creature who allegedly lurked in Paris Township in 1978 created much unwanted attention for the unhappy objects of its attention.

Throughout the history of conventional archeology, artifacts have been found that seem to defy what we know about what we know. Did the Maine Penny, the Shroud of Turin, and the Antikythera Mechanism simply evade our previous understandings of what ancient societies were doing, and where, and when — or is there a case to be made for otherworldly intervention?
