16: Arctic Shapeshifters Part 1 - The MOZ Ruins Christmas Special

In this first ever Monster Lore Tour Holiday special, we take you to the frozen North above the Arctic Circle. Moz explores the commonality and the complexity of the many arctic shapeshifters haunting the frozen wastes. Then, to the horror of children near and far, he ruins Christmas forever with his Rudolph the Red Nosed Not-Deer thesis.

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.

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!

This week we present the first interview we ever recorded for Monster Lore Tour and the inspiration behind Episode 12 on the Stanley Hotel. Hear our friend Tristan's account of his family's full-on ghost tour at the Stanley Hotel. Tristan is a great story teller, and we couldn't be more excited to finally be sharing this interview with you! We also delve more into the theory of the Colorado Vortex Batman, and what we find may surprise you. Enjoy!

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. Oh, and Jeremy made a new US Files bumper, he's very excited …. so, uh, you’re going to hear it…
Many thanks as always (and forever) to the writer of the greatest theme song in all the paranormal realms, Mr. Tim Leavy @ https://www.timleavy.com/.

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.

9: Shapeshifters Part 2 - Shamanic Shapeshifter Complex

This week Moz makes his case for the shaman as the proto-magical practitioner ultimately responsible for so much of the monster encounters reported around the globe. Moz breaks down the theories, the cross-cultural similarities, and gets at the heart of this shapeshifting phenomena. We then explore the 5 key shapeshifting categories and the levels of power associated with these morphing fiends. We also discuss what it might mean to you! …yes, you, huddled in that sleeping bag.
