Expanded Perspectives

On this special edition of Expanded Perspectives, the guys start the show off by talking about how this is the 10th year of the show. Then, they revisit the subjects that they explored in the very first episode. Bigfoot, Copper Mines, and Mysterious Rock Lake. In the heart of Michigan's Lake Superior, are the Ancient Copper Mines of Isle Royale, a place where human ingenuity met the Earth's ancient treasures. These mines, shrouded in antiquity, have confounded scholars and left us wondering about the secrets they may hold. Next, we explore the tranquil waters of Rock Lake in Wisconsin, where submerged in its depths lie the enigmatic Mysterious Underwater Pyramids. These submerged structures have ignited imaginations and sparked debates, their origins and purpose cloaked in mystery, inviting speculation about forgotten civilizations and possibly even extraterrestrial influences. Throughout the annals of time and across the diverse landscapes of our world, countless individuals have reported Bizarre Encounters with entities and beings that defy rational explanation. These eerie tales stretch the boundaries of our understanding and challenge our perceptions of reality. All of this and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives!

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys start the show out talking about how summer is not quite over yet in northern Texas. Kyle has been sick with something Luke brought home from school, and how a little illness from time to time is good for the immune system. Then, a person in upstate New York sees an insectoid-like being in a suit and top hat back in 1980. Next, some people witness a large bat-like creature in rural Louisiana. And, a person might have seen a giant ground sloth. After the break, Kyle is going to explore some strange accounts of Creepy Companions also known as haunted dolls. True tales of creepy dolls have fascinated and terrified people for generations, tapping into our primal fears and the uncanny valley between the inanimate and the lifelike. Dolls, often associated with innocence and companionship, become unsettling when they deviate from our expectations. Their glassy eyes seem to hold secrets, their unmoving faces can hide unknown intentions, and their silence becomes an eerie presence. Dolls' longstanding connection to the supernatural may stem from their historical role in rituals, where they were imbued with spiritual significance or used as vessels for magical intent. Over time, some dolls have been connected to dark forces, as they can carry the weight of negative energy or evil spirits, causing eerie occurrences and unexplained phenomena. The belief that dolls can be haunted might be rooted in their human-like appearance, making them conduits for paranormal activity. These stories serve as cautionary tales, reminding us that even the most innocent-looking objects can harbor an unsettling darkness, exploring the depths of our collective fear of the unknown and the supernatural.

Law enforcement personnel are criminal investigators trained to navigate through a world of deception in order to separate facts from fiction. But what happens when these professional witnesses encounter unexplained phenomena, I mean who makes a better witness than a cop? Since police officers are skilled observers who regularly delve into the unknown, it’s no surprise that some of the strongest paranormal encounters we’ve ever heard have come from police officers. All of this and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives!

About 71% of its surface is covered in water too deep and dangerous to explore. Even on land, unexplained mysteries creep up on all sides, beneath ceilings of dangling stalactites. Caves - and the creatures that live in them - are unlike anything you've probably ever seen before. If anything, they’re more akin to space aliens and the monsters drawn up by science fiction authors. But what about real monsters? Believe it or not, there are lots of strange sightings in and around Caves. From trolls, ant people, to giant spiders like the J'ba Fofi, there are loads of mysterious creatures lurking below the surface of our planet still un-discovered.

Over 1000 accounts of seven-foot and taller skeletons have reportedly been unearthed from ancient burial sites over a two-hundred-year period in North America. Newspaper accounts, town and county histories, letters, scientific journals, diaries, photos, and Smithsonian ethnology reports have carefully documented this. These skeletons have been reported from coast to coast with strange anatomic anomalies such as double rows of teeth, jawbones so large as to fit over the face of the finder, and elongated skulls, documented in virtually every state. Why are we not told about this lost race of giants while in school? All of this and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives!

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys start the show, talking about how fast their summer has gone by, shark week, and Kyle's upcoming vacation down on the Texas coast.

After the break, Cam brings up some strange stories about The Yucca Man and other strange sightings of this Bigfoot-like creature. It goes by a number of names, including the Mojave Bigfoot, the Sierra Highway Devil, and even the slightly endearing nickname "Marvin of the Mojave." His appearance isn't limited to the relatively recent arrival of the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center. The local native tribes have been telling stories of "hairy devils" who have lived in the deserts among the Joshua Trees for as long as native tribes have been around. As the area around the San Bernardino mountains began to develop in the middle of the 20th century, it seems the wild man, the Yucca Man, were pushed out of their native habitat and headfirst into developing civilization. Strange reports of large, bipedal beasts were reported as far west as Palmdale and Edwards Air Force Base. All of this and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives!

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys get the show off talking about the Texas heat and Kyle's failures at becoming a great traditional archer. Then, Cam almost dies from a near heat stroke he had over the last couple of days. Next, a listener from Poland writes into the show with a crazy encounter their grandfather had with a horse headed humanoid. Then, a man and his dog are in their car late at night in rural Monroe County, Pennsylvania when what appears to be an ordinary deer is anything but that. After the break, Kyle brings up some strange stories of possible slips in time! Time is seen as a force eternally impenetrable and displays itself as normally past, present and future. Human beings have always seen themselves as controlled by time. They complain there is never quite enough of it, yet time is infinite. So why do certain people witness instances contrary to what we traditionally perceive as time? The so-called time slip phenomenon has been defined as an event where a moment from the past spontaneously intrudes on the present through seemly unexplained means. Involving one person or even a group of people, many of those who claim to have experienced time slips say they merely observed a past scene, lasting only a few minutes. Others allege that they have been fully immersed in the scene visited. It is also reported that the surroundings witnessed are still, under lit, out-of-place, with a muffled or unfamiliar sound. So what are they? What is time? All of this and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives!

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys start the show off talking about the recent Texas heat wave, Kyle and Luke's Indiana Jones marathon, and the tragic sinking of the Titan submarine near the Titanic wreck site. Then, two bow hunters in Pennsylvania have an extraordinary experience in the woods with a ghost, some strange space gel, and possible time distortion. After the break, Kyle brings up some horrifying tales of murderous children. With stunning frequency, new stories appear about one of the most perplexing of all crimes - homicide committed by children. As recent research has shed light on children who murder, experts have become troubled about an apparent intensification of youthful homicidal behavior. For instance, Dr. Elissa P. Benedek, director of research and training at the Center for Forensic Psychiatry in Ann Arbor, Mich., said she had seen many more youths engaged in ''mass murder,'' the killing of more than one person, in the last few months than in all her previous experience. A pattern that disturbs scholars is that youthful homicide rates still remain near the very high level of the mid-1970's. Statistics compiled by the Federal Bureau of Investigation show 9.88 of 100,000 Americans were arrested for homicide in 1982. But the rate among 17-year-olds, for instance, was more than double the rate for all ages: 22.6 per 100,000. Concern about youth violence has changed the way grown-ups walk in cities and prompted Congressmen to prod the executive branch to focus on youth violence. The Attorney General recently named a task force on family violence which will include the study of murders by youths in its work. What drives these children to kill?

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys start the show off by talking about the terrible heat and terrible storms in the southeast portion of the nation. Then, they get into some strange sightings including dogman, bigfoot, alien abduction, and even a possible Leprechaun sighting. After the break, Kyle brings up The Nameless Thing of Berkley Square. The Nameless Thing of Berkeley Square is a particularly gruesome and feared entity from British folklore, specifically from the English city of London, where it was believed to haunt the 2nd Floor of house No. 50 in the titular Berkeley Square. Starting in the year 1840 with the now infamous fate of Warboys and continuing until the 1930s, the monstrous reputation of the creature remains even to this day and the horrifying tale of Warboys remains one of London's most notorious ghost stories. Skeptics tend to view the Nameless Thing as a classic example of overly-active imagination and rumors mixing together to create a very spooky but ultimately fictional horror story, but as is the case with many paranormal events, no one can fully know either way.

After the break, Cam brings up the mystery of Alabama's ancient case caskets. In 1840, when he was 22 years old, the Rev. William N. Crump settled outside Oneonta in Blount County and built a farmhouse. He began farming the land and, in 1858, bought 246 acres from the U.S. government. The land included entrances to five caves, according to a 2005 newsletter of Birmingham Grotto: Crump Cave, Second Cave, Horseshoe Cave, Bishopella Cave and Sewer Cave. Crump and friends were hunting in 1840 when they discovered Crump's Cave, which geologist Frank Burns would later describe as having an "opening so small that a man could scarcely crawl through it." Inside, Crump found Native American artifacts including beads, arrows and spears, copper items and stone axes. There were also more than 200 pounds of galena, an ore used in lead and silver. Most surprisingly, he also found skulls and wooden coffins that had been hollowed by fire and stone implements. Who built them and were they really coffins?

Whether you grasp such good luck charms in your palm, wear them around your neck, or mount one near your front door these talismans or amulets are meant to provide a shortcut to a better future, a warding off of evil spirits or bad forces.

On today's episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys start the show off talking about Kyle's new favorite drink. Then, they discuss the bizarre encounter of Jan Wolski. Just what happened on May 10, 1978, to 71-year-old Jan Wolski is still a source of intense debate about whether or not it was a close encounter of the third kind. On that day Wolski was on his way home, driving a horse-drawn carriage. Suddenly, two small beings with olive skin, webbed hands, and slanting eyes apparently appeared next to him and led him to a small clearing, where a UFO was waiting. Speaking in a language the farmer didn’t recognize, the creatures took him to a white craft that was about half the size of a bus and happened to be hovering five meters above the ground. Once inside he was examined by the strange visitors. Next, A boy and his mother are walking to the bus stop in Dunwoody, Georgia when they are encountered by several robed semi-transparent humanoids or 'light beings.'

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!
