Next, a mother and daughter in Cherry Hill, New Jersey see a strange-looking flying humanoid. And, a person in Michigan swears a werewolf crossed the road near a rural cemetery. After the break, Kyle brings up some special items that many believe will give them good luck. Lucky charms: Some people swear by them while others think they're silly. But regardless of whether a rabbit's foot or a favorite number really attracts Lady Luck, lucky charms can be fun and make you feel more optimistic. When you have fun and feel more positive, that attitude makes you luckier, too! Four-leaf clovers in Ireland. Painted dala horses in Sweden, Chinese golden toads, and Egyptian scarabs. 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. Of course, there’s no proof any such tokens, which travelers commonly pick up as souvenirs, actually work. But these cultural symbols both educate and enchant us.

Loco Motives

4/21/2023
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.' After the break, Kyle brings up some strange tales of Phantom Locomotives or Trains. Ghost Trains are what considered to be phantom vehicles in the form of a locomotive or train.

Bizarre Military Encounters

4/13/2023
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.

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!

The Man In the Closet

3/30/2023
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!

A Deadly Invention

3/16/2023
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!

Next, a person in Michigan says two large Sasquatch like creatures followed him and his daughters while out riding 4 wheelers. After the break, Kyle tells the horrific story of a group of settlers who faced insurmountable odds while crossing the Rocky Mountains. 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!

Haunted house attractions are fairly common in the U.S., some people want to experience real ghosts and ghouls, especially around Halloween. 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?

Unseen Assistant

2/16/2023
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!

The Secret Caves of "Doc" Noss

Then, a Chicago woman at her father's apartment sees a Glimmer Man! 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: Lumi LabsMicrodose.com Want to Share Your Story?

Wondery Presents Frozen Head

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.

Out of Place Objects

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys start the show off by talking about how Kyle is about to start traditional barebow 3D archery, some disc golf news, and why you shouldn't be afraid to try something new! Then, a retired police officer in Memphis, Tennessee has a bizarre run-in with a lizard-like creature while out driving one evening. Next, a family get-together near Monahans, Texas is interrupted by some extra-terrestrials! Next, After the break Cam and Kyle discuss some strange out of place objects that have been discovered. It can be hard to resist the allure of a mysterious object found in a context that doesn’t seem to make rational sense, suggesting that it’s proof of time travelers, lost civilizations, or alien visitors. You don’t have to be a conspiracy theorist or a cryptozoologist to marvel at a bizarre computer-like device that dates back to Ancient Greece, or a 2,000-year-old battery found outside Baghdad in the 1930s. So-called “Out of Place Artifacts,” also known as OOPArts, are often said to “baffle scientists,” and conspiracy theorists suggest that scientific efforts to identify their origin and purpose willfully ignore potentially controversial explanations outside the mainstream. After all, it’s true enough that science is constantly evolving, and we still don’t have the answers to many of life’s mysteries. All of this and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives!

The Hollow Earth and More

12/16/2022
On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, a listener writes into the show with a strange experience while out duck and deer hunting. Where they on some ancient Native American land? Then, a person believes they saw an upright canine creature in the woods one night while in a park. After the break, Cam brings up the strange theory surrounding the Hollow Earth. Modern science holds that the Earth is an unbroken series of layers, crusts, and liquid magma surrounding a dense, hot core made primarily of iron and nickel. But in the 17th century, some of the leading scientific minds of the time had a different theory—that the planet is actually hollow. This idea has proved incredibly durable. Even today, there is a small cadre of Hollow Earth believers who are fighting valiantly to validate their ideas through books, websites, meetings, and some extremely ambitious travel plans. Next, Cam taks about the Honey Island Swamp Monster. In case you didn't know, the Honey Island Swamp Monster is a humanoid cryptid that is reported to have been seen in and around Honey Island Swamp, Louisiana since 1963. It was first reported in 1963, when two hunters spotted this creature prowling the swamps. Its tracks indicate three-toed webbed feet. It is possible that a Bigfoot evolved webbed feet to better suit its swamp environment. Some even believe it's an experiment gone awry All of this and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives!
