In this episode I read accounts of strange supernatural encounters from Reddit. These stories are from a variety of cultures and geographic locations, and spring forth a treasure trove of fascinating folklore. In between stories I read comments that share additional anecdotes, and expand on the folklore found in these tales. We’re talking giants, elves, witches, spectral horsemen, nymphs, and more...

In this video I will be talking extensively about Biringan City, a legendary city said to be invisible to humans and populated by engkanto, beings that are very similar to fairies in Celtic folklore. Biringan is said to be hidden somewhere within the forests and mountains of Samar, an ultramodern (even futuristic) city, where buildings, clothing, and food is black. You can happen upon it by accide...

Tonight I’ll be reading accounts from the Fairy Census, an ongoing academic research project conducted by Dr. Simon Young. This survey gathers and presents anonymous encounters with fairies. You may have a certain image in your head of what a fairy looks like, but this variety of experiences will show that fairies are perceived to take a whole host of forms. ✶ for more episodes of me reading accou...

In this episode I’ll be reading experiences and comments on Reddit about people remembering seeing a green hand as a child. The similarities in the stories and the way this idea or memory resonated with so many people fascinated me, and I felt compelled to make this episode. As well as reading the stories and marking similarities, I’ll also touch on pop culture references brought up that may have...

In this episode I’ll be reading several stories of first-hand paranormal encounters from websites Your Ghost Stories and Reddit.

Tonight I’ll be reading stories from Reddit where people claimed to have seen Santa Claus. We all know that Santa isn’t real, so what are people experiencing? Is it simply childhood imagination, or something stranger? I’ll also read a couple of encounters from the Fairy Census where people recount seeing fairies dancing around their Christmas presents as children. In Victorian England it was a Chr...

Tonight I am talking with Timothy Renner, author, artist, and host of the Strange Familiars podcast. Our conversation centers around Sasquatch, Tim’s prime paranormal interest and the subject of several of his books. We begin with the Bigfoot basics, such as what sounds, smells, and behaviors they are known for in terms of the mainstream “flesh and blood hypothesis”. We then move into the high str...

Tonight I’m continuing my “deconstructing a haunted house” series, where I examine houses room by room and piece by piece to see what area is the most ‘haunted’. This episode we focus on staircases; I’ll read some interesting personal experiences from Reddit and also examine some dream interpretation and symbology. The stories involve creepy disembodied whispers, phantom guiding lights, floating d...

✶ Thumbail image credits: Rien Poortvliet Tonight I’ll be reading experiences with gnomes! The stories are collected from Reddit, Your Ghost Stories, and the Fairy Census and are alleged to be real encounters by their authors. The beings encountered in these stories are similar but also in many ways different. While they all have the general appearance of a very small human, the details differ. So...

Tonight I’ll be reading a collection of experiences that were posted on the Forteana Forums . These stories have a few things in common; they’re highly strange, they took place in childhood, and they all involve bizarre animal visitors.

In between stories I share my thoughts and gentle...

Tonight’s episode concerns the very strange, specific, and seemingly rare phenomenon that I’m calling “little doctors”. So far I’ve found only three accounts that share the same very distinct details of seeing short-statured doctors and/or nurses at one’s bedside when they otherwise shouldn’t be there. This is no dream and certainly not a house call from actual human doctors, so who are these biza...

Tonight I’ll be reading experiences from reddit that all concern small humanoids. Elves, gnomes, fairies, gremlins… From little cloaked goblins to winged women in doorways. I also read interesting comments and it kind of goes in a few different directions from there as people bring up their own encounters, and some of them are quite strange… ✶ For additional content, check my Patreon page: https:/...
