In this episode, Jeremy takes us on an exploration of the lore behind the world-famous Sedona Vortex sites, and then focuses on on one of the most epic paranormal flaps to hit the area. In the 1990s, just outside Sedona, AZ on a little place called Bradshaw Ranch, there occurred a series of events that have the most hardcore paranormal investigators scratching their head to this day. There were, UFOs, Bigfoots, Energy Beings, and Orbs. Were there interdimensional portals at work in the area? Was the government running a secret base to observe them? Are they still in operation today? Come on along with the Monster Lore Tour as we search for answers in this most mysterious of mystical landscapes.
