Fortean Roundup: June - AirBnBigfoot27 Jun 202501:10:42

Matt, Katie and EJ tackle the latest in Fortean news this month. New revelations about the government's involvement in UAPs come to light, and spark renewed interest in an old UFO story. A new Sasquatch video looks less than impressive, and we'd all rather stay at the new cryptid-themed rental spot. Plus, paranormal celebrity gossip!

Episode 66: Die Glocke: The Rise of Nazi Occultism Part 2 - The Morning of the Magicians24 Jun 202501:35:13

Matt, Katie and EJ continue their investigation of Die Glocke, the alleged secret Nazi wonder weapon. After the end of World War II, rumors begin building. Were the Nazis worshiping an ancient evil? And were they truly defeated, or did they flee to Antarctica, where they continued their crusade? As Nazi sympathizers muddy the waters with their own insane theories, modern journalist Igor Witkowski draws even closer to the long buried secret of Die Glocke.

Episode 59: Doc Shiels, Monster Hunter Part 3 - Summoning the Loch Ness Monster18 Mar 202501:08:37

Matt, EJ and Katie conclude their investigation into Doc Shiels, the Wizard of the West. After a brief encounter with owlman, Doc turns his sights to the Scottish Highlands. Together with an international collective of psychics, he claimed to cast his greatest spell: summoning the Loch Ness Monster. His photo would become one of the most hotly debated pieces of evidence for decades. Was it a genuine capture of a legendary creature? Or yet another surrealist art project from the infamous wizard? 

Episode 58: Doc Shiels, Monster Hunter Part 2 - Fairies and Sea Monsters04 Mar 202501:17:17

Matt, EJ and Katie continue their investigation into Tony 'Doc' Shiels, the Wizard of the West and self-proclaimed monster hunter. Doc reignites Cornish fairy legends by turning them into an art project before setting his sights on sea monsters. Along with his drinking buddies, he creates Morgwar, the sea giant. As his surreal exhibitions continue, more and more cryptozoologists fall for the rust, including legendary Nessie hunter Tim Dinsdale. 

Fortean Roundup: February - Weaponizing Conspiracy Theories28 Feb 202501:20:19
Episode 57: Doc Shiels, Monster Hunter Part 1 - Surreal Beginnings18 Feb 202501:19:35

In 1977, the clearest photograph of the Loch Ness monster ever taken was revealed in the Daily Mirror. A color photograph of a long neck, rising up out of the water, mouth open, rocked the Fortean world. But as strange and compelling as the photograph was, the photographer himself was on a whole other level. Behind the camera was a hard-drinking bohemian artist, a self-proclaimed magician who billed himself as the “Wizard of the West.” He claimed his occult skills had enabled him to summon Nessie, among other monsters, and he did so with the help of a cabal of witches.

 

The weird life of the Wizard known as Tony Doc Shiels, and his encounters with a host of lake monsters, witch covens and winged beasts, left an indelible mark on the world of cryptozoology. While his encounters may be of dubious authenticity, Doc Sheils is nevertheless one of the most influential Fortean figures.

Episode 55: The Beast of Bray Road Part 2 - The Hounds of Hell21 Jan 202501:14:06

Matt and EJ continue their investigation of the Beast of Bray Road and the history of werewolves and dogmen. As more roadside encounters with mysterious dogheaded humans pop up in the American midwest, evil connections come to light. Are these monsters creatures from hell, the offspring demons? And how does the Satanic Panic play into their creation?

Episode 54: The Beast of Bray Road Part 1 - Werewolf Panic!07 Jan 202501:14:28

The small town of Elkhorn, Wisconsin holds a wild secret. According to local legend, a werewolf stalks their back roads, terrorizing motorists and feeding on the carcasses of dead animals. This creature, described as a massive, bipedal humanoid with a dog’s head, has been linked to all kinds of weirdness, from Satanic cults to religious beliefs to native Sasquatch populations. Spawning an entire subset of research, these “dogmen” are the disgraced nephew of cryptozoology: a story that just won’t die, and one which many think weakens their entire stance on unknown animals.

Episode 65: Die Glocke: The Rise of Nazi Occultism Part 1: Weapons of War10 Jun 202501:27:27

In the closing days of World War II, the remaining Nazi scientists and engineers set to work on a last-ditch effort: a weapon that could reshape the end of the war. Dubbed the “die glocke” or “the bell,” it was the ultimate “wunderwaffe” or wonder weapon. Some claimed it was an antigravity aircraft, designed to outmaneuver the Allies’ fighter planes. Others claimed it was a time machine, and Hitler’s intent was to travel back in time and correct his military mistakes, guaranteeing him victory. Still others thought die glocke was built from salvaged alien technology, a weapon truly out of this world.

Episode 53: The Highgate Vampire Part 3 - A Bloody Good Time24 Dec 202401:18:54

Matt and EJ conclude their investigation of the Highgate Vampire, the alleged bloodsucker who menaced a London cemetery in the 1970s. A riot breaks out, vampire hunters Sean Manchester and David Farrant clash in a duel to see who will be the first to slay the beast, and London police struggle to contain the riots. And, as the would-be slayers' bitter rivalry stretches across decades, the truth of the Highgate Vampire slowly comes into focus.

Fortean Roundup: November - UAPs and Alien Abductions29 Nov 202401:38:23
Episode 51: The Highgate Vampire Part 1 - The Magnificent Seven26 Nov 202401:08:33

When we think of vampires, we tend to think of the classic movie depictions: the caped, pointy-toothed, dapper man in the crumbling mansion. They’re gothic villains, things out of romance novels and classical literature. The idea of fanged monsters running around and sucking the blood of hapless victims feels quaint and out of place in our modern, scientific world. 

Which is why it’s so strange that in the early 1970s, a pair of vampire hunters stalked through a London cemetery, stakes in hand, doling out Buffy-style punishment on the undead as they rose from their coffins. But this actually happened, and happened that recently. It’s a story of good versus evil, of Satanic rites, occult societies and bloodsucking beasts set against the counterculture revolution of 1970s London. The lore, legend and truth of the Highgate Vampire will the subject of this series.
