The Beast of Mound Ridge Road

3/7/2025
On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off by discussing the powerful straight-line winds that recently tore through, destroying Kyle’s wife’s greenhouse. They also share their excitement about an upcoming trip to Tennessee, where they’ll be guests on the Ducks Unlimited Podcast. Next, they dive into a chilling story from the 1970s, where a young boy on a farm in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, witnessed strange lights and encountered three-foot-tall humanoid figures on his roof—and even inside his bedroom. Then, they explore a bizarre and terrifying experience involving what appeared to be an alien grey attempting to disguise itself as the cartoon character Charlie Brown. After the break, Cam takes listeners to Kentucky with the eerie tale of the Spottsville Monster. In 1975, the Nunnelly family’s home in Spottsville, KY, was plagued by towering, eight-foot-tall creatures. Their terrifying ordeal gained media attention, making headlines and appearing on TV broadcasts. But the mystery behind these strange beings remains unsolved. On Sunday, the team spoke with Bart Nunnelly, who shared firsthand accounts of what happened to his family, offering an inside look at the fear and confusion they endured on their farm.

Lost and Found

2/28/2025
In this episode of Expanded Perspectives Elite, the guys kick things off by discussing their favorite grills and the art of meat grilling. Then, a couple attending a motorcycle rally witnesses a bizarre disappearance when a young woman enters a porta potty—only to never come out. Next, a listener shares a strange family story involving their grandfather’s radioactive camel bones discovered near Area 51. The strangeness continues as a Costa Rican man recounts multiple encounters with Duende—one in Costa Rica and another in California. Apparently, offering these mysterious beings treats like milk, honey, rum, tobacco, or chocolate can keep them at bay. After the break, Kyle dives into eerie cases of missing children that defy explanation. Finally, an east London commuter witnesses a leprechaun playing a silver flute in the tube, mesmerizing passersby into handing over their money. Meanwhile, a couple in Tulsa, Oklahoma, encounters a bizarre entity during a late-night dog walk. All this and more on this thrilling installment of Expanded Perspectives!

Runnin With the Devil

2/14/2025
On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off by discussing the unpredictable temperature swings in central North Texas over the past few weeks before diving into the strange and mysterious. First, two hunters in Kansas experience a once-in-a-lifetime encounter—not one, but two Bigfoot creatures foraging on snails and clams while out deer hunting. Then, a possible Glimmer Man sighting shakes up two witnesses in Crooked Lake, Wisconsin. Meanwhile, in New Hampshire, a man hears multiple unseen entities moving around the forest near his sister’s property. What’s lurking in the woods, and why? After the break, Cam shares a chilling Arizona ghost story from the spring of 1883. With the men away tending their flocks, two women and their children were left alone in a remote cabin near Eagle Creek. One woman stepped out to fetch water—and never returned. The other, hearing screams and howls, rushed to the window, only to glimpse something so terrifying she could do nothing but pray and barricade the door. When the men came back that night, they discovered a gruesome scene: the woman’s body, brutally trampled, with massive hoof prints marking the ground. Witnesses would later describe an eerie figure—towering, red, and ridden by a devil. All this and more on this thrilling installment of Expanded Perspectives Elite!

The Crate

2/7/2025
In this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off by discussing the drastic temperature shift in North Texas, which leaves Kyle battling a stubborn head cold. Then, they dive straight into the bizarre, starting with a chilling eyewitness account from July 1990 in Kentucky. A group of friends, hanging out behind a factory, stumbled upon a strange wooden crate—something inside was desperately trying to break free. When it finally did, they were left in shock as a monstrous 3.5-foot-tall gnome or troll-like creature with glowing red eyes emerged. Next, a camper encounters a wild, feral woman digging in the dirt, while a Swiss army officer has a mysterious run-in with an eerie figure in the woods. Then, things take an even darker turn as a Glimmer Man or demon-like entity chases a group out of the forest—only to follow one of them home. Meanwhile, strange lights appear in the forest as hair-covered grey beings attempt to break into a house. And if that wasn’t enough, a witness observes a colossal snapping turtle locked in a fierce battle with a group of feral pigs. All this and more on this thrilling episode of Expanded Perspectives!

The Trout Lake Monster and More

1/29/2025
On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off by discussing Muay Thai and Cam's recent trip to Colorado—one that, surprisingly, did not include snow. Then, strange encounters unfold: A South Texas mobile home park resident witnesses shimmering humanoid figures engaged in an eerie, silent exchange. Who—or what—were they? Meanwhile, a 911 dispatcher receives a chilling phantom call from a woman who has already passed away. In Kentucky, an angry gnome manifests in the woods, causing a young girl to faint, while a persistent witness reports multiple sightings of the legendary Trout Lake Monster. Ontario, Canada, is known for its stunning lakes and rivers. Still, it also harbors tales of mysterious lake creatures—none more intriguing than the Trout Lake Monster. This elusive, serpent-like entity has been part of Native folklore for generations. In 2010, a bizarre 15-foot carcass with fur and a horned, gargoyle-like head surfaced, fueling speculation. Some hailed it as hard evidence of the creature's existence. Still, scientists identified it as a decomposing giant otter—yet before further study could be conducted, the corpse mysteriously disappeared. Was it a hoax or proof of an ancient cryptid? Next, a Michigan couple has two eerie encounters with a human-faced feline resembling the legendary Jinmenken—both on Halloween night. A flying humanoid is spotted elsewhere, and Bigfoot's handprints are discovered. All this and more on another thrilling episode of Expanded Perspectives!

No Ordinary Man

1/17/2025
On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, Kyle is flying solo in Skelekin Studios as Cam spends the week with his family in Colorado. Recently, Kyle and his son Luke checked out the new Wolfman movie, which tells the chilling story of a family at a remote farmhouse under siege by an unseen predator. As the night unfolds, the father undergoes a terrifying transformation into something utterly unrecognizable. While it takes a fresh approach to the classic werewolf genre, the film still delivers an enjoyable experience. Later, Kyle dives into some intriguing listener stories. The first comes from someone who believes their recently deceased grandmother tried to contact them through the telephone. The second tale involves a chilling encounter with a phantom light, rumored to belong to the ghost of a motorcyclist. After the break, Kyle shares even more strange and fascinating encounters.

Tree People and More

1/10/2025
In this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the hosts kick off the new year with personal updates, including Cam’s family bouncing back from illness and the rare sight of winter snowfall in Texas. A wave of nostalgia follows as they reminisce about childhood favorites like Jolt cola and giant Pixie Stix. After the casual banter, the episode takes a mysterious turn. The hosts delve into eerie encounters, beginning with the enigmatic Tree People of the Shenandoah Valley. This historically rich region, stretching 140 miles through northern Virginia, is nestled between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Alleghenies. Once the edge of the American frontier and later a pivotal Civil War battleground, the Shenandoah Valley’s past echoes through its preserved landmarks, unique architecture, and vibrant communities. The intrigue doesn’t stop there. The episode also uncovers chilling stories, including a Not Deer sighting in Chicago, a Skinwalker encounter in Arizona, a possible botched alien abduction, a haunted house built on protected faerie land, and the unsettling discovery of a green metal door standing alone in the middle of the woods. Was it merely an abandoned structure, or could it have been a portal to another dimension? All of this and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives!

Tales of Tinkers, Trolls and Troublemakers

12/20/2024
In this episode of Expanded Perspectives, Kyle takes the reins solo at Skelekin Studios. Don’t worry, he’s got plenty of fascinating stories to share! First, he dives into a chilling account of a Duende encounter that happened during a late-night basketball game in Mexico. Then, a listener calls in to recount a possible Bigfoot sighting in Washington state. After the break, Kyle explores the mysterious and seemingly impossible encounters people have had with gnomes, trolls, and Duendes. Few phenomena are as peculiar in the realm of the weird and unexplained as reports of real-life gnome sightings. These mysterious beings, complete with diminutive statures, beards, and iconic pointy hats, seem like something straight out of a fairy tale. While the idea of encountering such creatures might sound absurd—given their deep roots in mythology—numerous accounts from people across all walks of life suggest otherwise. This show will delve into fascinating stories of gnomes or duende sightings that defy explanation. All of this and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives!

In this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off by sharing what they've been up to lately. They talk about celebrating Luke's birthday (Kyle's son), Cam's birthday, Thanksgiving festivities, and Kyle dealing with being under the weather. After catching up, they dive straight into an "Off The Cuff" episode packed with a wild mix of bizarre encounters.

Death From Above

11/15/2024
In this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys start the show by talking about how Kyle over-ate right before the show. Then, a giant white lizard and a Sasquatch battle each other while the witness observes the confrontation while hiking in the Washington forest near Kirkland. Next, two disembodied voices lure a person near Lake Tahoe into the woods. What was trying to trick them into the forest? If the first story wasn't crazy enough for you, two Southern Georgia hunters encounter remarkable upright cryptids at the exact location. The hunters then watch the cryptid pair fight as one kills the other! After the break, Cam brings up some strange cases involving livestock being mutilated for some unknown reason. The bovine corpses stunned the ranchers who found them. The animals' ears, eyes, udders, anuses, sex organs, and tongues had routinely been removed, seemingly with a sharp, clean instrument. Their carcasses had been drained of blood. No tracks or footprints were found in the immediate vicinity—nor were any of the usual opportunistic scavengers. Between April and October of 1975, nearly 200 cases of cattle mutilation were reported in the state of Colorado alone. Far from being mere tabloid fodder, it had become a nationally recognized issue: That year, the Colorado Associated Press voted it the state's number one story. Colorado's then-senator Floyd Haskell asked the Federal Bureau of Investigation to get involved. Theories range from Satanic Cults to Extra-Terrestrials. Finally, a group of Native American teens went camping near a sacred tribal area. While sitting by the fire, a Javelina with glowing red eyes steps out of the bushes and instantly alarms the witness!

In this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the hosts kick things off by sharing highlights from their recent trip to Tennessee, where they appeared on the Duck's Unlimited podcast and saw some of their stories go viral on social media. They recount the excitement of their live show, Deep Thoughts with Expanded Perspectives, at Blurry Con in Franklin, Tennessee. Later, a listener writes in with a chilling childhood memory of a massive canine creature watching him through a window—standing upright on its hind legs. The hosts also dive into the tale of four young boys in Crimea who witnessed a strange, humanoid creature crawling over a fence, a being they later named “The Slug.” After the break, Kyle explores more bizarre encounters, including an attack by a giant bird and a possible dinosaur sighting in a lake.

Unsolved Mysteries with Lon Strickler

10/30/2024
On this eerie episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off with an update on their upcoming journey to Tennessee and the strange happenings around Skelekin Studios. But soon, things take a dark turn: a Michigan man and his daughter, driving through a torrential downpour, encounter a lone figure in the road—only to watch in horror as the man morphs into a monstrous, wolf-like creature! Next, a chilling story unfolds as a witness from Kentucky recounts a brush with an unnaturally tall, skeletal biped lurking in the shadows. Disturbed and seeking answers, he wonders: what did he encounter? After the break, they welcome the legendary Lon Strickler from Phantoms and Monsters. A renowned cryptid researcher and recent guest on Unsolved Mysteries, Lon shares insights into the wave of winged, Mothman-like creatures haunting North America. The conversation dives into terrifying encounters with Glimmer Man and the sinister Brown Crawlers. All this and more spine-tingling tales await in this installment of Expanded Perspectives!

Phantom Vehicles

10/25/2024
In this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off with exciting news about their upcoming trip to Tennessee, where they’ll make their first in-person appearance on the Ducks Unlimited Podcast. They also read a listener’s email detailing a wild encounter with an enormous, upright-walking creature—described as a “Not Deer.” Next, they share a story from a Mississippi eyewitness, recounting a memorable sighting in 1972 of a glowing white creature with membranous wings—a vision that’s lingered with them ever since. After the break, Kyle dives into the eerie world of Phantom Vehicles. The road often has unexpected hazards—harsh weather, unpredictable conditions, and the constant risk of accidents. The atmosphere grows even more foreboding at night as headlights flicker over lane markings and shadows dart across the pavement. These natural dangers blend with an unsettling, almost supernatural quality, hinting at mysteries beyond our usual understanding of what lurks on the open road. Tales of ghostly apparitions and inexplicable events are familiar along highways, covering everything from haunted places to spectral figures and unearthly encounters that defy logic. Among these are stories of phantom-like vehicles and their mysterious drivers—seemingly otherworldly presences that vanish as quickly as they appear, evading any attempt to comprehend them fully.

Into The Fringe: Alien Abduction

10/18/2024
In this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off by chatting about the warm weather and Kyle's recent experience watching the new Candyman movie, among other things. Then, they dive into a series of strange encounters, starting with a woman from Missouri who, along with her friend and brother, recalls a chilling encounter with a massive, pig-faced dog they spotted near their childhood home. Next, they explore the fascinating and unsettling story of Bruce Cornet, M.S., Ph.D., one of two witnesses allegedly abducted by unknown entities near the Massanutten Mountain ski resort in Virginia. Cornet, a long-time AOP researcher and contributor to the National Institute for Discovery Science, brings a unique perspective to the strange events that occurred that evening. After the break, Cam delves into haunting tales of alien abduction—stories where the line between nightmare and reality blurs. These eerie encounters raise a troubling question: What do these extraterrestrial beings want from us? While many focus on cold, clinical experiments, there seems to be a darker, more disturbing purpose behind many abductions—impregnation. And it's not just women who are subjected to these unearthly tasks; men, too, are drawn into an unimaginable role. Alien abductions, once dismissed as fantasy or hoax, may represent recovered memories—fragments of truth that are often bizarre, unsettling, and hard to believe. The challenge of distinguishing between real memories and false ones has long troubled psychiatrists and abductees alike, especially as these claims echo the controversial cases involving childhood trauma, satanic cults, and other difficult-to-prove experiences. Finally, Cam shares one of the wildest stories ever told on the show: a man from Rogersville, PA, recounts an extraordinary encounter he and his two brothers had with three strange 'Dogwomen.' Incredibly, one of the brothers even fed these mysterious creatures! All of this and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives!

Elliot Lake Creature and More

10/11/2024
On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the hosts kick things off by sharing their experience at the Texas State Fair. Held annually in Dallas at the historic Fair Park, the State Fair of Texas has been a beloved tradition since 1886, with only a few interruptions during World War I, World War II, and in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The fair typically runs from the last Friday in September for 24 days. Kyle then shares a story about his recent outing to the movies with his youngest son, Luke, to see the gruesome Terrifier 3. Next, they dive into some intriguing news stories. An outdoorsman and mushroom forager spots a small, bipedal humanoid wandering through the woods—something far from a typical forest animal. Then, they explore a chilling encounter in the mountains near Gatlinburg, TN, where a couple comes face-to-face with a human-sized creature that shapeshifts into a smaller entity. Later, two women driving near Hillsboro, Ohio, witness a strange, pitch-black quadruped with eerie white eyes emerging from the tall grass. After the break, a hiker in Wisconsin believes they may have encountered a "Glimmer Man" while walking on a park trail. Finally, a grandfather recounts a childhood memory of encountering several "ape-men" while panning for gold with his family near Elliot Lake, Ontario.

Wrinkles In Time

10/4/2024
In this episode of Expanded Perspectives, Kyle is solo in Skelekin Studios, as Cam has been under the weather all week before heading off on vacation in Oklahoma. Wasting no time, Kyle dives straight into some eerie stories. First, he shares the unsettling experience of a Pennsylvania teenager haunted by visions of a Goatman appearing in his bedroom at night. However, the creature hasn’t returned in the 22 years since the man still feels lingering anxiety from the encounters. Next, Kyle recounts the story of a Wisconsin resident who ventured into the Northwoods backcountry. After stopping his truck to get some rest, something mysteriously rocked the vehicle. Though he didn’t see anything, he quickly drove away, unnerved by the experience. After the break, Kyle brings us some strange stories about time slips. We encountered a peculiar story several years ago while working on the show. Some hikers had reportedly spent the night at the Wythburn Inn, only to be later informed that this was impossible—the inn had been submerged during the creation of the Thirlmere Reservoir in 1894. A similar tale emerged from France, where British travelers stayed at an old-fashioned hotel but, on their return journey, found that it no longer existed. Another account involves tourists on a bus who spotted an appealing hotel, got off at the next stop, and walked back, only to find the area wholly different and the hotel nowhere to be seen. There's also the story of two young women who set off one evening to attend a village dance a few miles away but traversed an eerie and unfamiliar landscape that seemed far from the one they knew. These strange anecdotes are examples of what's known as a "time-slip"—a type of psychical phenomenon. These incidents seem to fall into two main categories: in the first, people inadvertently find themselves in a place that existed only in the past; in the second, they enter a familiar place that is altered, leaving them confused and disoriented. Explaining these occurrences rationally is challenging, especially when those involved appear genuinely shaken or perplexed. Dismissing them as fabrications seems unfair, and in cases where the experience is shared, attributing it to hallucination feels overly simplistic. Like many paranormal phenomena, rational explanations may be more comfortable, but these stories remain mysterious and difficult to explain fully.

Roadway Trolls

9/27/2024
In this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off by discussing the upcoming deer season and their plans to visit the Texas State Fair. Kyle shares his love for donuts and chocolate milk, admitting that he has to avoid donut shops to resist temptation consciously. Then, the show turns into the strange as an upstate New York resident recounts a sighting his partner had, followed by the witness's eerie encounter with an upright goat-human hybrid. Next, an Oklahoma teen has a chilling experience when he wakes up for a drink and spots a red-eyed humanoid outside his window, radiating malevolence. In another disturbing encounter, a young boy faces a strange humanoid figure crouched in the corner of his bedroom, its features unnervingly inhuman. After the break, Cam delves into bizarre encounters with what can only be described as "Road Trolls." These unsettling creatures, explored in detail by author Jerry D. Coleman in his books Strange Highways and More Strange Highways, are frequently reported by truckers traveling along dark highways in the Southern and Midwestern U.S. Witnesses often describe a prominent, hairy, troll-like figure dressed in tattered clothing, sometimes with a wooden peg leg. What begins as a sighting of a drifter quickly escalates into something far more disturbing as the true nature of these road-dwelling creatures becomes apparent. All of this and more is on this installment of Expanded Perspectives!

The Hunger

9/13/2024
On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the show kicks off with Kyle trying out a new ion-infused water, which he claims is far superior to Cam's usual choice. The conversation takes a nostalgic turn as they reminisce about the days when Gatorade still came in glass bottles. The episode then dives into the strange and mysterious. First, a bizarre incident involving an unknown creature—possibly a Bigfoot—repeatedly knocking on and even urinating on a listener's front door. Neighbors have also reported similar odd occurrences. Next, an Alabama woman and her son encounter something eerie on their property. As they explore outside at night, they hear a mysterious clicking sound, and their flashlight beam is suddenly "blocked" by an unseen entity. Another story recounts a family mystery dating back to 1957 in North Carolina, where a young girl may have encountered two time travelers while on the road between Reidsville and Greensboro. Then, things get even stranger when a New Yorker, driving home from Baltimore, Maryland, experiences something inexplicable on I-83. As they approach Harrisburg, PA, the truck ahead of them vanishes, and they suddenly find themselves 50 miles back in Maryland. After the break, Kyle dives into the world of vampire lore. While the classic portrayal of vampires—like those in Bela Lugosi’s films—are pure entertainment, Kyle explores real-life vampire sightings that have been reported for centuries, with stories continuing into modern times. Finally, Cam shares an intriguing story about a woman seeking answers to her unsettling encounters with an unknown entity. All of this and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives!

Mysteries of Antarctica

8/30/2024
In this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the journey begins with a chilling tale from the shores of California. A woman and her cousin claim to have witnessed something otherworldly near the Santa Monica Pier—creatures they described as 'mermaids,' though their eerie glow and malevolent presence suggest something far more sinister. The story then shifts to the Appalachian Trail, where a father, his son, and their loyal dog spend the night in a remote shelter. But as darkness falls, they encounter a mysterious entity known only as the "Brown Man." The unsettling realization soon dawns that this being might have attacked their dog without ever touching it. Amidst these strange encounters, Kyle shares a lighter yet equally puzzling experience of his own. Despite no intention of doing so, he's found himself walking miles after running out of gas and, in a stroke of misfortune, locking himself out of his office twice in just two weeks. The episode concludes with a tale from southcentral Ohio, where a lone driver on a deserted country road encounters something bizarre—a sight that defies explanation, floating eerily near the road's edge. After the break, Cam brings up some mysteries surrounding Antarctica. In the heart of the Earth's most desolate and unforgiving expanse, whispers echo through the icy winds, carrying tales of the unknown. Antarctica, a land untouched by time, shrouded in secrecy and bound by an unspoken pact among the world's nations, remains a blank page in the story of our planet—a page that invites both wonder and trepidation. The Antarctic Treaty, a veil of diplomacy, cloaks this frozen wasteland, rendering it off-limits to the eyes of ordinary men and women. But what truths are buried beneath the layers of ice, hidden from all but a select few? In the shadowed years before the world plunged into chaos, a group of Nazi explorers ventured to the White Continent under the guise of "research." Their true purpose? Shrouded in darkness, leaving us to speculate what they sought—and perhaps found—in this remote corner of the Earth. Did they establish a foothold, a secret stronghold far from prying eyes? As the war raged on, the United States, vigilant and wary, kept a watchful gaze on their adversaries. In a move that has fueled speculation for decades, the celebrated Admiral Byrd led Operation Highjump, an expedition that some say uncovered more than ice and snow. What did Byrd witness in the icy abyss, and what secrets did he bring back that might have changed the course of history? The tales do not end there. Rumors swirl like the Antarctic blizzards, telling of Nazi technology far beyond their time, perhaps even of extraterrestrial origin. Did they unlock the secrets of flight and machinery, not of this world? And what of the persistent murmurings of alien presence, of unidentified objects cutting through the endless night of the Antarctic sky? Satellite images, innocuous to the untrained eye, reveal cracks in the ice, jagged peaks, and distant research stations. Yet to some, these are not mere geographical features but signs—clues pointing to hidden cities beneath the ice, to places where the unimaginable might dwell. UFO crash sites, they whisper, alien civilizations encased in ice, waiting. Antarctica holds its secrets close, wrapped in the cold embrace of its icy plains. And as long as it remains unexplored, the mysteries of the White Continent will continue to beckon, daring us to uncover what lies beneath.

Up and Gone

8/23/2024
In this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off by discussing the intense heat in Texas, with Kyle sharing his experience of changing a flat tire in the scorching weather. They also delve into how tire manufacturers intentionally keep run-flat tires away from the public to boost their profits. Kyle then reflects on how some iconic 80's action movies, like Missing in Action and Lone Wolf McQuaid, don't quite hold up today. The conversation shifts to bizarre sightings of flying humanoids reported across North America, Europe, and Asia. Additionally, they explore the strange tale of a Malaysian youth who was reportedly rescued by a mermaid at Tanjung Aru Beach. However, not all mermaids are so kind—especially in the case of a vehicle carrying children that plunged into the waters of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, where divers encountered evidence suggesting the presence of underwater humanoids! After the break, the guys dive into the mystery of several unexplained disappearances. Were these victims involved in a sophisticated escape plan? Could it have been an alien or Fae abduction? Or did they unknowingly step through a portal to another dimension? All this and more in this episode of Expanded Perspectives!
