Why 12,000-Year-Old T-Pillars Just Appeared in the Euphrates River THE WEEKLY STRANGE Episode 72

Tuesday, April 7, 2026 • Duration 20:07

The map of the Neolithic revolution just changed forever. In January 2026, receding waters of the Atatürk Dam in the Adıyaman province of Turkey revealed something archaeologists thought was confined to a small cluster: monumental T-pillars identical to those found at Göbekli Tepe. This discovery proves that the "Pillar Religion" of the Stone Hills (Taş Tepeler) was far more widespread and sophisticated than previously believed.

Sasquatch In My Back Yard? Jon's Possible May 2025 Bigfoot Incident THE WEEKLY STRANGE Episode 71

Tuesday, April 7, 2026 • Duration 26:21

You don’t expect to find a legend just miles from a bustling city, but something changed in Jon's suburban Boston back yard last May. We often think of Sasquatch as a creature of the deep Pacific Northwest, but what Jon experienced made him question all of his assumptions about Bigfoot. In this video, Jon breaks down exactly what happened—strange noises, awful smells, and eerie sensations. Was it a black bear passing through, or something else entirely?

The Mapinguari: Brazilian Bigfoot That Guards Amazon’s Lost Cities THE WEEKLY STRANGE Episode 70

Tuesday, April 7, 2026 • Duration 18:30

Deep within the "Terra Firme" of the Amazon Rainforest, where human footprints are rare and ancient ruins are swallowed by the canopy, lives a creature that shouldn't exist. It is known as the Mapinguari - the Brazilian Bigfoot. Witnesses describe a 7-to-9-foot-tall monster with matted red fur, a paralyzing "stench of death," and skin so thick that bullets bounce off it like pebbles. Is this a mere indigenous legend, or are we looking at a living prehistoric survivor? Don't forget to Like, Subscribe, and Hit That Notification Bell!

Bigfoot in the Backyard: The Shocking Proximity of Sasquatch to Boston THE WEEKLY STRANGE Episode 69

Tuesday, April 7, 2026 • Duration 20:03

We often think of Bigfoot as a creature of the deep, untouched wilderness of the Pacific Northwest or the vast North Woods of Maine. But what if the world's most elusive apex predator is living right on the edge of the Boston skyline? In this episode, Jon explores the "Urban Fringe" theory. He looks at the green corridors that lead directly into the heart of the Greater Boston area—from the rugged terrain of the Blue Hills Reservation to the dense, rocky thickets of the Middlesex Fells. These aren't just parks; they are part of an "Emerald Necklace" of connected wetlands and forests that allow a large creature to move unseen within miles of Fenway Park. Boston may be a concrete jungle, but the shadows on its edges are deeper than you think. Don't forget to Like, Subscribe, and Hit That Notification Bell!

The First Abduction? The Story of Betty & Barney Hill THE WEEKLY STRANGE Episode 68

Tuesday, April 7, 2026 • Duration 17:54

September 19, 1961, changed the landscape of the paranormal forever. While driving through the dark mountain passes of Franconia Notch, New Hampshire, Betty and Barney Hill encountered a craft that would result in the world's most famous "missing time" event. But was it just a story? Or is there something more to it? Jon looks at the events that took place and also into the often-overlooked corroboration from the 764th Radar Squadron at East Mountain Radar Station in Vermont, where an anomalous object was tracked the very night the Hills were taken. Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, the Hill case remains the "Gold Standard" of ufology because of the physical and technical evidence that refuses to go away.

Monday, April 6, 2026 • Duration 20:15

Deep in the forests of the Northeast, something ancient and aggressive is being seen. It isn't a bear, and it definitely isn't a werewolf. In this video, Jon investigates the terrifying reality of the New England Dogman. From the high-stakes 2021 encounter in Methuen, Massachusetts, to chilling recent reports from the White Mountains of New Hampshire in late 2024 and Maine in 2025, Jon tracks this bipedal predator across all six states.

The Impossible Mystery of Bigfoot on Cape Cod THE WEEKLY STRANGE Episode 66

Sunday, April 5, 2026 • Duration 25:11

Is it possible for a 8-foot-tall apex predator to cross one of the most guarded waterways in America? Cape Cod, Massachusetts, is famous for its beaches, but for cryptid researchers, the real story lies in the dense pine barrens and the restricted acreage of Joint Base Cape Cod. In this video, Jon tackles the "Canal Problem," and explores the polarizing theories of how a Sasquatch could possibly reach the peninsula—from swimming the treacherous, high-velocity currents of the Cape Cod Canal to making a high-stakes midnight dash across the Railroad Bridge. Jon focuses on the sightings that shouldn't exist—but do. Don't forget to Like, Subscribe, and Hit That Notification Bell!

Hidden Highways: Tracking Sasquatch Migration Routes in Massachusetts THE WEEKLY STRANGE Episode 65

Sunday, April 5, 2026 • Duration 22:16

Is Sasquatch hiding in the Bay State? While many associate Bigfoot with the Pacific Northwest, Massachusetts has a dense history of sightings that suggest a sophisticated, seasonal migration pattern. In this deep-dive documentary, Jon explores the three primary "Hidden Highways" used by these elusive beings: the Berkshire-Taconic Corridor, the mysterious "Monsterland" of Central MA, and the high-strangeness of the Bridgewater Triangle. Whether you're a seasoned researcher or a skeptic, the data reveals a fascinating pattern of movement across one of America's most densely populated states.

The Vanishing Passenger: The Mystery of Phantom Hitchhikers THE WEEKLY STRANGE Episode 64

Saturday, April 4, 2026 • Duration 18:27

It is perhaps the most persistent urban legend in history. You’re driving down a lonely highway at night, you pick up a quiet passenger in distress, and minutes later, they simply vanish from your moving vehicle. From Resurrection Mary on Chicago’s Archer Avenue to the tragic "Bride-to-be" of Blue Bell Hill in Kent, the Phantom Hitchhiker is a global phenomenon that has haunted our roads for generations. Jon explores the factual folklore and regional case studies that define this spectral commuter. Is this legend a collective psychological response to the dangers of the road, or are these highways truly conduits for restless spirits?

The Jellyfish UAP: Sightings on The Rise & 2018 Iraq Base Footage THE WEEKLY STRANGE Episode 63

Saturday, April 4, 2026 • Duration 17:56

Is it a machine, a biological entity, or a glitch in our sensors? The Jellyfish UAP has become one of the most baffling categories of unidentified phenomena ever recorded by the US military. From the leaked 2018 footage over a joint operations base in Iraq to the brand-new sightings, Jon takes a deep dive into an object that defies every known law of aerodynamics. With recent Congressional hearings bringing "Age of Disclosure" topics to the forefront, the Jellyfish remains the smoking gun for many UAP researchers.
