For decades the dangers of hitchhiking have been illustrated both in pop fiction and all-too-real accounts of those unlucky enough to have picked-up (or been picked-up by) the wrong person. But while stories surrounding the sundry horrors of violence, torture and murder are more than enough to keep most well clear of the hitchhiking scene, there's yet another factor that ought concern late night m...

On Christmas morning, 1996, Bloody Mary and her mutinous minions took heaven by storm, Satan was betrayed, God barely escaped, the angels were exiled to Earth, and homeless children across the US began receiving dispatches from spectral messengers. In God's absence, the highest hope these already troubled kids had was to die a good death so they could be taken to a secret base in the Everglades an...

On the holiest night of the year, the unthinkable happened: a vast horde of demons, led by the Virgin Mother and Satan's former ally—re-branded as a cruel combination of child-slaying La Llorona and the mirror-dwelling monstrosity known as Bloody Mary—came roaring from the fiery depths of Hell, stormed the gates of Heaven and, against all odds, became the new rulers of paradise. With Heaven under...

In late 1996—with the world teetering ever closer to the edge of a new millennium—something extraordinary began to spread among the youngest and most vulnerable of America's homeless population. It was a story. Not a rumor nor urban legend but a complex mythology that seemed to have erupted, fully-fledged, over the course of a single night. An underground phenomenon that spontaneously emerged from...

An airplane to seems disappears into thin air. A listener crosses paths with an orange rod and possibly a Dogman. A group of teenagers fire a bottle rocket at Bigfoot… and get way more than they bargained for.

Something stole a man from his bed. A cyclist raced through solid walls.

The paranormal pandemonium that had engulfed Braxton County in the summer of '52, was finally beginning to ebb. But this odyssey of the bizarre would never truly end and the legacy of the Flatwoods Incident is one that will likely endure for the ages.   The Cryptonaut Hotline: 315-370-6853   The Cryptonaut Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cryptonautpodcast   The Cryptonaut Podcast Merch St...

In just over 24-hours, the sleepy hills of Braxton County were swept up in a tsunami of high strangeness from which it would never fully recover. In the midst of the chaos surrounding what many were beginning to believe was a full-scale alien invasion, a pair of intrepid paranormalists—one a globetrotting adventurer, the other a hometown hero—arrived at the scene and walked directly into the eye o...

For the citizens of Braxton County, West Virginia, a surreal sequence of events would not only transform their once tranquil town into a whirring blender of metaphysical madness, but forever alter the landscape of modern ufology; resulting in the equivalent of ontological whiplash for those swept up in these reality-shattering events... Yet even for those left clinging to the frayed lashes of sani...

Frightened, rattled and violently ill, a group of intrepid eyewitnesses managed to jump fences and hurtle down a steep slope in order to evade a perilously close encounter with one of the most bizarre beings on the books. But, despite their narrow escape, for most of this ill fated posse—not to mention the rest of Braxton County—the worst was yet to come. The Cryptonaut Hotline: 315-370-6853   The...

On the night of September 12th, 1952, eight eyewitnesses claimed to have had a run-in with a being so bizarre it not only left them in a state of shock but rocked Braxton County, West Virginia, to its very core. Though their encounter was brief, it set off a chain of events that would forever change this quintessentially quiet American town, leaving generations both frightened and fascinated by th...

History books rarely mention it, but the summer of 1952 played host to one of the most alarming UAP flaps ever recorded. While most UFO buffs are familiar with the "Washington Invasion" of late July, few know of the September incursions that carried anomalous objects over some of America's most sensitive sites. The U.S. government viewed the events as an aerial intrusion by enemies unknown—the res...

Two bizarre encounters from rural Sweden: a retired farmer watches cone shaped cyclops like figures bounce across a foggy bog, while a teenage girl comes face-to-face with silent humanoids in silver suits searching through a moving freight train.

West Virginia plays home to some of the most bizarre beasts and eccentric entities ever put to paper, but even among its outlandish ilk, there's one that stands out from the rest: the Flatwoods Monster. For all that's been written about this mechanical goliath, the story most know is only a small part of the truth. When all the surviving accounts are stitched together, what emerges is something mu...

Within the various schools of paranormal study there exist an array of biological anomalies so bizarre they strain the credulity of even the most ardent true believers. We're not talking about the kinds of creatures who startle random hikers or abduct late night stargazers; that's child's play. No, we're talking about truly bizarre beings that lurk in the inky darkness beyond the edge of the estab...

In the midst of the psychedelic 60's, a woman known only as Mrs. X had a series of increasingly outlandish encounters with objects and entities beyond reckoning. It is a case that forces us to wonder whether she was born with an innate gift… or the victim of a para-psychological curse.

A grinding metal whine, a cyclist moving too slow to exist, and a fear that drops in like it came from somewhere else. A black disk waits under the clouds… then lifts straight up and erases itself.

Starting in the mid-1960s, an array of anomalous, semi-aquatic oddities made a massive splash in and around the beaches, lakes and waterways of the already ocean locked Florida peninsula... Was this mini-incursion merely a chance for our marine brethren to explore terra firma? Or was this the Vanguard of an attack from the true ruler's of this waterlogged orb we call home: All hail the Aquanauts!...

On this Earth there are extraordinary places; places that seem to defy logic; places so unique that its mere mention can make even the most cynical heart skip a beat. Stonehenge is one such place, and the events alleged to have occurred there in 1971 are nothing short of nightmare fuel… Our next stop on this horror-filled odyssey takes a terrified eyewitness from the bucolic backwaters of Down Und...

In the shadowy labyrinth of the paranormal, every turn feels like the turn; the one that finally breaks the case wide open. You move forward with that electric sense of impending revelation… only to slam, again and again, into dead ends. Most never get past that. But every so often, usually when it's least expected, someone makes it to the end of the corridor. And there, waiting in the dark, is so...

In 1966, the fabric of reality was torn to shreds by a bizarre beast, thrusting a group of Malaysian students and their terrified teacher headlong into a state of paranormal pandemonium… The high strangeness continues with a Tennessee family who were not only terrorized by a freakish, hairy, wart-faced fiend, but violently attacked in their own home by the savage thing who could vanish in a puff o...

A quiet drive home ends with dead lights, screaming static, and a chunk of missing time. At Area X, UAPs dart across the sky, the forest throws rocks back, voices echo yours, and a black shape steps from the shadows.
