Paranormal Palaver

Outside our cabin this week: a wolf in dire straits, ghost hunters get into a shoot out, and a planet where the rain is molten metal. We also discussed theories of folklore, and pondered the grain of truth in most stories. Our first VENDOR FEATURE, with CRYPTID COMFORTS! In hour two, we shared some of our favortite tales which spawned here in the Bluegrass.   Check out Cryptid Comforts here and on...

The year 1955 abounded in tales of small humanoids, each episode more bizarre than the last.  L.W. and Aaron sort through many of these incidents, as recorded in the book Encounter at Kelly and Others of 1955 , published by the Center for UFO Studies. Dewey Edwards joins the conversation to unpack the ultimate example of this activity in our state: The Kelly/Hopkinsville Goblins.  His latest book,...

L.W.'s teeth steal the opening of the program.  Then, a murder plot among ghost hunters and secret chambers below the pyramids fills the news segment. We then hand the show over to Ron Lanham and Joe Perdue, the collective known as Wild and Weird West Virginia, for an extended conversation. P.S. Ron says we're doomed.   To contact us with an experience, comment, or question, reach out at kentuckyb...

The "uncrowned pontiff" Patrick joins me- while Aaron is busy in the archives- to run down the news and answer the question: Am I too skeptical? Then he surrenders his mic to Heather Moser so she may regale us with personal paranormal experiences.  We also approach the all-encompassing wonder of folklore!   To contact us with an experience, comment, or question, reach out at kentuckybooger75@gmail...

We step aside this week from your regularly scheduled program to study the life, works, sorrow, and mystery of one man: Edgar Allan Poe.  Besides the tragedies of life, what caused his constant despair?  How has his alcoholism been misunderstood? What has been the lasting impact of his work? Plus, a cat sorrowful unto death, a box of bones beneath a bed, and a hooded figure in black performing an...

The 3rd Annual Frogman Festival offered many insights, including the evolution of storytelling, the mutation of the term "cryptid", and even the latest from our friend, Mothman. After this discussion, we turn to breaking news from SETI. Then, Chrissy Newton pulls up a chair to help us wade through the current UFO situation.   https://chrissynewton.com allows you to keep up with her work.   Rebelli...

The great mysteries of our universe amaze and baffle us, but even more so when they combine, twist into one, and defy all laws and norms.  Shannon LeGro visits to share her thoughts on this enigma.  She has spent years collecting stories and providing experiencers a safe place to share.  Her wisdom and compassion are greatly appreciated.   Sarah Cooper also stops by briefly to tell the macabre tal...

Caleb Hanks clocks in as a special guest cohost- while Aaron enjoys time off for his birthday. The music from Caleb's old band The NOVA ECHO has graced the program since day one.  Topics on the table include AI, conspiracies, ghosts, and the rebuilding of North Carolina.   We prepare for the Third Annual Frogman Festival, our CRYPTID OF THE WEEK none other than the Loveland Frogman.   Contact us w...

A new task force has been assembled to bring the UFO truth into the light.  How will it fare against opposing forces in the government?  Is the ET question truly the most pressing matter in human history or do other concerns take precedence? Our CRYPTID OF THE WEEK: the Gumberoo!   Rep. Luna press conference: BREAKING: Comer, Luna Announce Creation Of The Task Force On The Declassification Of Fede...

Awaiting us this week: the disease hibernating patiently in a lab, ready to mow down the human race and a perusal of the history and traditions surrounding Groundhog Day.  We address the issue of Bigfoot habitat, and stop by the fireside to hear the bygone voice of our 26th President.  Marc Myrsell heard our musings; he knows much about violent Sasquatch encounters.  He joins us by the hearth to u...

We remember the lives lost in a tragic January.   The fallout from the latest UFO whistleblower has many walking on eggshells. Does his story add up? Does his connection to Stephen Greer harm his credibility?   Then, the man described as this era's John Keel- Joshua Cutchin- pays a visit for an extended colloquy on a panoply of topics: UFOs, high strangeness, AI, the trickster, and abductions, to...

Aaron and LW break the ice off their microphones to cover a bit of news, including the possibility of time travel, a one million year old jaw found by a dentist, and the release of one of the perpetrators of the 2014 Slenderman stabbing.   Afterward, the main (hairy) man in the cryptid rogues gallery takes center stage. A major award is handed out in Sasquatchery, and two Oregon men lose their liv...

LW treads through the snow to the cabin with a heavy heart, the situations in California and North Carolina in mind. While one filmmaker keeps hope alive for the Tar Heels, Joe Rogan predicted doom for LA residents.  The latter raises the question; how much of psychic ability is simple intuition? What are the facts concerning the Anunnaki? For our CRYPTID OF THE WEEK, see Bloodlines: The New Jerse...

The boys return to the (snow covered) cabin to kickoff 2025!  After offering condolences to a fellow Fortean, they discuss a disturbing development in Artificial Intelligence and the UK's "Bionic Girl".  LW shares a personal reflection on the late "Mama Kingcaid"--a sorrowful story with a clear paranormal moral--and elucidates on the myth of the jackalope! A close inspection of the Missing 411 phe...

LW and Aaron suspect the news has reached the apex of incredulity as a " silent" alien invasion takes place, Krampus roams our neighborhoods in search of naughty children, and a concussion leaves a young lady trapped in a two-hour memory loop. Oxford has also chosen their "Word of the Year".  Meanwhile, The Beast of Bladenboro is our CRYPTID OF THE WEEK.   Our attention turns to the darker side of...

LW and Aaron ponder humanity's interactions with Artificial Intelligence, a discussion that sparks a call for a PHILOSOPHICAL RENAISSANCE! Then Ron Murphy pulls up a chair to introduce his new book on Earth lights, Lights in the Mist.   And beware The Beast of Busco, our CRYPTID OF THE WEEK.   Have an experience or encounter of your own? Contact us at kentuckybooger75@gmail.com .   We would love t...

Christopher O'Brien, author, researcher, longtime cohost of The Paracast. May he rest in peace. March 24, 1957-November 24, 2024   Mary joins me in the cabin to share our thoughts on CryptidCon, follow up our talk with Mike Clelland, and consider epistemology. We also touch on ghosts before Sherri Brake joins us with over 30 years of paranormal investigations.   Prisons of the late 1800s and early...

A critical and baffling element in UFOlogy remains the omnipresence of the owl. Why are these birds associated with sightings of strange craft and unknown beings? Do they represent an archetype in the quagmire of the human psyche? How do they relate to the "hidden experience "? Researcher and experiencer Mike Clelland stops by to offer his astute insights in a special holiday conversation.   Check...

The Congressional Hearing on Unknown Anomalous Phenomena convened last week, with hopes the government will initiate Disclosure on UAP ASAP. But be it UAP, AKA UFO, IMHO, neither the FBI, CIA, DoD or any other ladle of bureaucratic alphabet soup will be forthcoming with the FYI any time soon. There will be no LOL as we examine the situation.   UAP Hearing https://www.youtube.com/live/kT2iWKZr0qA?s...

The "Aquarian Conspiracy" seems more like a saltwater fantasy, the "omega point" nowhere in sight as the world comes apart. Aaron and LW discuss this trend, as well as AA's psychic experience. The moment of truth arrives when he takes the Zener challenge!   Meanwhile, the lake surrounding Greer Island, Texas houses a hair covered, horned secret. Lyle Blackburn stops by to unravel this mystery as w...

Is technology leading us toward a future where telepathy and ESP will be accomplished synthetically? itelepathy?   ipsychics? And what of the signal detected from our neighbor, Proxima Centauri?   We introduce a new segment, CRYPTID OF THE WEEK!   Then, we pick up our investigation of the enigmatic Mothman, joined by Aaron Deese of Small Town Monsters.      Have an experience or encounter of your...

Welcome one and all to our HALLOWEEN SPECTACULAR! Halloween history, creepy tales, cinema, and urban legends are all on the table as your Holler Booger is joined by a revolving door of cohosts on this Halloween Eve! Halloween postcard history https://a.co/d/0yEaZoy .   Dennison's Bogey Book https://a.co/d/4wEAEvv .   Olson Wells' War of the Worlds Broadcast https://youtu.be/9q7tN7MhQ4I?si=4SJ57yZa...

A tragic missing person case receives due attention, then we turn to the issue of critical thinking. Is your holler booger too harsh with the Ancient Aliens crowd? Is he not critical enough of Missing 411? Later, Aleksandar Petakov catches his breath along the trail of discovery and pulls up a chair to tell us about his experiences as a documentary film maker and explorer. Check out Mr. Petakov's...

Program Note: This episode was recorded prior to Hurricane Helene.   What really happened in the New Mexico desert in 1947? We turn to a surprise guest and a shocking theory, one born from solid research and nurtured with reason: though the human ability to reason may come into question. The answer terrifies perhaps as much as any extra terrestrial reality.    Have an experience or encounter of yo...
