Monster Lore Tour

20: Alien Probes Part 3 - Interstellar Interlopers: Is Invasion Imminent?

This week we finish up our Oumuamua investigation and get into the new ways scientists are developing to look at the sky. We also take a look at plans to launch humans to the stars (sort of) within the next few decades. Are we being watched by alien eyes in our skies? You better find out by jumping on board with the Monster Lore Tour. Thanks for coming by!
Also many thanks as always to Mr. Tim Leavy from https://www.timleavy.com/ for fashioning for us the most wonderfully wicked theme song in all the paranormal realms. Rock on, Mr. Leavy!

Kigutilik origins: the “shaman killer” derived from Rasmussen:
“ The big one is called Nålaqnaq ; the listener; large mouth, two teeth, tongue protruding, shapeless hands with six fingers; moves at a run. The other is Pungoq, or the dog; long ears, two mouths, three legs, the rearmost shapeless. One night while sleeping in a stone shelter these evil spirits came over him and would have eaten him if the dogs had not kept them at a distance. — Below: Kigutilik, or the spirit with the giant's teeth. One spring he was out sealing, and this monster came up out of an opening in the ice; it was as big as a bear but higher; with long legs which had large bumps at the joints; two tails, one big ear that only seemed to be joined to a fold in the skin, and teeth as gross as a walrus's tusks. It was bare and only had hair in fringes. It emitted a mighty roar: "Ah — ah — ah!", and he became so frightened that he fled home without first securing it for a helping spirit. Drawn by Anarqåq.

15: Alien Probes Part 2 - Interstellar Interlopers (Oumuamua) & Dr. Manhattan’s Rocky Mountain Betz Spheres

In this episode Jeremy explores the mysteries of Interstellar Interlopers - notably IM1, IM2, and everyone's favorite interloper, the mysterious Oumuamua - as well as potential UAP connections. Laying down the timeline of events, it seems we may well have been interstellarly interloped! Is Jeremy onto something with this cosmic deep dive? Or is it all just space junk? Check it and find out!

Hear our friend Tristan's account of his family's full-on ghost tour at the Stanley Hotel.

12: The Stanley Hotel - Colorado Vortex Batman

The Stanley Hotel is one of the most famous haunted hotels in the US. This week we dive deep into the history, ghosts, and of course lore of the Stanley Hotel in preparation for next week's interview episode.

11: Havana Syndrome - It’s All In Your Head .... Or Is It?

In 2016, a number of staff at the US Embassy in Havana, Cuba suddenly and simultaneously experienced a strange onset of symptoms, some of which were long-term and extreme. Since then, thousands of intelligence workers and other government officials across the globe have suffered eerily similar experiences and symptoms. Was this the work of a nefarious foreign government, a covert clandestine operation, a happenstance of environmental factors, or was it just all in their heads? Join us as we dive deep into the history, science, headlines, and theories behind the mysterious conspiracy known as Havana Syndrome.
 
Very special thanks to Mr. Tim Leavy @ timleavy.comfor writing us the greatest theme song in the paranormal realms.
