Show notes
An enormous bird rises from a field in Ontario. A shimmering, humanlike figure appears across the Missouri River during a drum circle. A family in Arizona hears movement overhead, and discovers hundreds of white handprints on the roof.

• An Ontario reserve resident’s sighting of an enormous bird.

UNEXPLAINED NEW YORK: Big City Danger, Rural Horrors, & Shadowy Beasts!
Show notes
From the lights of Broadway to the wooded roads of upstate New York, eight unusual reports take us into the Empire State’s unexplained side.
In this episode of Phantoms & Monster Radio, we examine a family account of an alleged wolf-like creature on Broadway in 1911, an upright canine encounter in Sleepy Hollow, a towering horned figure in Freeport, and a tiny fairy-like being near Lake Erie.
We also explore a terrifying Christmas-night roadside encounter, a military veteran’s claims of Sasquatch activity at a nuclear storage area, Dan Aykroyd’s mysterious Manhattan encounter with a black sedan, and an extensive Hartwick report involving a dark flying humanoid, strange calls, and disturbing activity inside a home.
These accounts are presented as reported experiences, recollections, and interpretations, not verified proof of paranormal activity. Where details conflict or evidence is limited, we address those distinctions.

UNEXPLAINED MISSOURI: The Show-Me State's Most Disturbing Creature Encounters
Show notes
Missouri's quiet roads, isolated farms, deep woods, and small towns have produced some deeply unsettling reports
In this episode, we examine eight alleged encounters from across the state: a towering white-haired humanoid racing beside a moving car near Rolla; a pale, pig-faced creature seen by members of the same family years apart; a crawler-like figure opening a camper's tent at 3 AM; a mysterious being following teenagers from a storm-drain tunnel; a prehistoric-looking winged creature near Altamont; dark flying forms over Cape Girardeau; a silent winged humanoid near Joplin; and generations of "little grey people" reportedly visiting a farm outside Piedmont.
Are these stories the result of misidentified animals, darkness, sleep paralysis, folklore, and memory? Or do some point to something genuinely unexplained moving through the Missouri night?
Watch to the end for the Piedmont account - a family mystery said to reach back to before the Civil War.
Which report do you find the most difficult to explain? Share your thoughts - or your own encounter - in the comments.
This episode presents witness accounts and alleged events for discussion. Unverified claims are identified as such, and no account should be treated as established fact without supporting evidence.

UNEXPLAINED OKLAHOMA: Native Spirits, Local Legends, & Lights Beneath the Lake
Show notes
Journey into the dark woods, lonely roads, mysterious lakes, and haunted history of the Sooner State in UNEXPLAINED OKLAHOMA.
In this Phantoms & Monsters Radio presentation, we examine eight extraordinary eyewitness accounts from across Oklahoma:
A retired Special Forces veteran confronts a massive humanlike figure outside Maud. A teenager near Stillwater awakens to find red eyes watching through his bedroom window. An enormous bird attacks a rooster in McLoud. Three young witnesses in Tecumseh encounter a gigantic owl-like figure they associate with the Seminole Stikini tradition. A family preserves the story of a black, winged warning encountered near Mount Scott. Two witnesses report a mysterious light beneath Arcadia Lake—and possible contact with three tall, blond beings. Near Talihina, an upright canine creature emerges after nights of unidentified screams. Finally, a young child appears to see someone no one else can at the Oklahoma City Memorial Fence.
Were these encounters caused by known animals, mistaken perceptions, folklore, coincidence, or deliberate fabrication? Or do some point toward phenomena we still do not understand?
Listen to the reports, consider the evidence, and share your conclusions in the comments.
If you have experienced an unexplained encounter, document the details and contact Phantoms & Monsters.

Kentucky’s wooded hollows, isolated farms, cave systems, and dark country roads have inspired generations of unsettling stories. But what happens when the people telling those stories insist that the legends are real?
In this episode of Phantoms & Monsters Radio, we examine eight extraordinary reports from across the Bluegrass State.
The witnesses describe a Dogman pounding on a family’s front door, the bear-and-wolf-like creature known as Bearilla, a mysterious white Bigfoot seen by separate relatives, a violent Sheepsquatch encounter in Breckinridge County, tiny winged beings near Daniel Boone National Forest, a towering red-eyed figure on a western Kentucky road, human-like creatures in northern Kentucky, and a bizarre Falmouth encounter involving telepathy, multiple entities, a doorway of light, and missing time.
Are these cases examples of misidentified wildlife, Appalachian folklore, unknown cryptids, paranormal manifestations, or something even stranger?
Listen to the complete presentation and decide for yourself.
