In this episode we dive deep into the history and lore of Appalachian Witches, also known as Granny Magic. We look into its origins and regional derivations from folk healers to wise women, to the witch women of the woods. Then we follow that up with some common rituals and spells to add to your own repertoire.

Finally, we delve into the misnamed Bell Witch legend, not that it isn't scary, just it doesn't have much to do with witches.

We sit down with Anthony Sakovich, an Anthropologist Research Scientist and Chief Research Exploration Officer for the National Explorers Society. He has spent decades decoding the lost belief systems and celestial frameworks of ancient Egypt, and he’s here to separate fact from fiction.

In this interview, we explore the truth behind the so‑called “Pharaoh’s Curse,” the biggest legends that still puzzle archaeologists, and the mysteries surrounding forbidden tombs, unexplained artifacts, and forgotten technologies. We'll dig into how sacred geometry and star maps shaped pyramid construction and what modern expeditions are uncovering in the field.

Anthony doesn’t study history from a distance. Through the NES, he leads real‑world investigations into archaeological anomalies and the enigmas that continue to challenge researchers. Whether you’re fascinated by history, drawn to ancient mysteries, or simply love a good curse story, this livestream will change the way you see Egypt’s past.

Set a reminder and join us for a live Q&A at the end. Bring your questions about mummies, myths, and even the stranger theories people whisper about.

And yes, before you even ask, we’re absolutely bringing up aliens.

Mark explains to Erica the origins of some of the earliest Bigfoot tales. Sadly, most are easy to question or outright debunk. From some of the first documented encounters of the Yeti to Ape Canyon, and even the Patterson-Gimlin film itself, the team examines the confessions of hoaxers, the questioned evidence, and those that swear that these encounters are still real. Listen and then decide for yourself.

We're not saying all Sasquatch encounters aren't real. Just some of them have questionable origins. We're very sorry to disappoint some of you.

Who inspired modern UFO and paranormal investigation? Meet Charles Fort. In the early 1900s, he obsessively collected reports of "damned" data like rains of fish, strange lights, and mysterious disappearances that science ignored. His books challenged scientific dogma, arguing that anomalies must be examined. He would influence the creation of "Forteanism," directly inspiring paranormal research fields and a society in his name. This is the story of the skeptic who became the patron saint of the unexplained.

We always associate New Years with resolutions and remaking ourselves. However, the mountain folk use it as a time of reflection and banishing the last of the evil spirits. January traditions travel from the Alps and the Perchtenlauf to the Carpathian and the festival of the Svatki with echoes in the Appalachians for the "Listening Days." These are the threshold legends to see us through the heart of winter.
