I Have Seen Niagara

Alas, this is the last. Or at least probably the last episode of I Have Seen Niagara. Our 3 year run ends with this one from 2053, the story of Kopex Repurposing Plant. Hey, we're just getting busy with other stuff, and you gotta know when a project has run its course. There might be one last sound/text collage cap off, but maybe not! Anyway, thanks for listening. And if you want more things N...

In our second story about famous blizzards of Niagara Falls, an idiot gets a chance at a new life, but it might cost him his own. If you like self-help tapes, snow worship, and deformed man-babies, this creepy cringer is for you. Written by Ric Royer Sounds by G Lucas Crane Voices: Ric Royer, Admiral Grey, Julia Mounsey, Zach Keebaugh, Jeff Benjamin.

Welcome to a new season. In the next batch of episodes, we bring you stories about notable blizzards from Niagara Falls. Every snowstorm in Niagara seems to bring with it a mysterious energy, covering Niagara in a blanket of weird. In our first episode, we go back to the Blizzard of '95, where some young slackers hanging out in an adult video store find a VHS tape advertising "The Most Sh...

A juicy tidbit to satisfy the meaty cravings of our listeners as we work up a new season of episodes. This one is called THE LENG! The legend of the woman with a face larger than her own head! Written by Ric Royer The Leng played by Sarah Reiter Additional vocals by Angela Moore and G Lucas Crane Sounds by G Lucas Crane

A recap and capping of our story of the poisoned neighborhood of Love Canal. Now held captive in the Niagara Falls Crazy Asylum, the Lord of the Mushroom house delivers prophecies for clandestine government agencies. They believe all of his predictions, except for the one he was sent back in time to deliver.

The stubborn, sole inhabitant of Love Canal, who dismissed the reports of toxic waste in the neighborhood as "baloney," becomes a sudden believer when a toxic life form takes him hostage in his home and proposes marriage. In his attempt to escape, he gets sucked into a time warp pipe and sent back twenty years. He finds himself in the flourishing new neighborhood of Love Canal, and now h...

The new season of IHSN takes a deep dive into Love Canal, the neighborhood in Niagara Falls that was built upon the burial grounds of 21,000 tons of toxic waste. Love Canal became the site of the country's biggest environmental disaster and led to the first Superfund. After the chemical remains infiltrated the homes, playgrounds and school, the neighborhood was evacuated... except for one resident...

Our next season begins in just a couple weeks. This time, it will be one story broken into 5 episodes, called MOUNT CECOS

For humans, the oldest and strongest sport is fear, and the oldest and strongest fear is Sports of the Unknown . That is, the sports that you don’t know you are playing. Ancient practices. Like lying, and epic fantasy, grifting and childlike wonderment. The queasy realization that you have been playing a sport unwittingly this whole time unites us across time. The most ancient sport of all, the on...

In our season finale, we take you on a Choose Your Own Adventure ride through graveyards, bowling alleys and underground lairs. But when this adventure becomes a matter of life or death, you don't get to choose. Join us for a little game of sacrifice called... HEARTBALL.

We return to Focazio's Lanes, a bowling alley in Niagara Falls famous for being the place where the hoagie was invented. We meet Deanna, the area's greatest bowler to ever have her fingers ripped off by a sinister bowling ball named Bocephus and then have her whole body turned into a spoon. As Knock Em Down Deanna always said, "What more you need to know, pal?" Written by Zach Trebino Deanna: Admi...

Sports in one culture may sometimes seem strange to those in a different culture. But to those in Niagara Falls, there is nothing weird at all about The Upstate Mechs, a cosplay Fight Club for children that takes place in the woods surrounding St Joseph's Cemetery. It provides much mirth and merriment, and also anachronistic violence and chaos once the ancient Orange Cloud opens up time portal min...

Sports reporter Brad Van Boxmeer, who is filling in for Bob Von Hayes (deceased), interviews Niagara Falls boxing legend Tony "Pepperoni" Pepp, in pursuit of the truth behind GRAVEYARD BOXING. Is it just an urban legend, or was it real? Does anybody care? Is Van Boxmeer just wasting our time and should he just go straight to hell? He's a crap reporter, a loser. Just sayin. Written by Devon Fick. V...

Welcome to a new season of IHSN. Sports are so integral to everyday life in Niagara Falls, and in Western NY in general, that it can sometimes get a little creepy. In the next 6 episodes, we explore the weird world of sports in the Niagara region. There will be touchdowns, knockouts, wins, losses and a lot of murder and chaos. There is one question that many in the area ask, but can't let themselv...

Last month, the I Have Seen Niagara team lost a good friend, and important member of the show, with the passing of David Crandall. David's unmistakable noir baritone was featured in several episodes, most notably as the recurring character, The Sergeant. He was also a skilled audio engineer, and someone we could also go to for ideas and advice. In this special episode, The Ice Bridge, we use some...

Have you ever wondered why anytime anyone needs to escape the many civic predators here in Niagara Falls, the first place they run is the forest? Well, running into the woods is part of a grand tradition in times of need here, and rightly so. For the woods surrounding the falls are full of helpful animals who can talk, and who love to provide advice, tidbits, and hints to whate...

Season finale! A great wooden spacecraft is being built. The ship is intended to fly the last few remaining daredevils away from Niagara Falls, and to a new planet of refuge (or at least as far as Detroit). But the ship has one last stunt to pull before leaving town, it will either be the greatest daredevil stunt of all time, a complete disaster... or both. Written and narrated by Ric Royer, sound...

The daredevil body count is on the rise in the City of Niagara. The Sergeant of the Police Squad is playing a dangerous game of cat and mouse with the killer. Only, he is both the cat AND the mouse. How far will his mind let him go with delusions of heroism, when deep down he knows he's just a puppet for the twisted plans of the Mayor with the Unpronounceable Name? As he nears his breaking point,...

Anthony comes from a long line of daredevils, but he has always fought the thrill-seeking impulse in his blood. But his blood is getting louder, and more dramatic. Anthony finds himself in a battle against his own hemoglobin, beckoning him to dare against the devil. With the draconian Niagara Falls daredevil ban in place, Anthony must choose a life struggling against his calling, or a life hiding...

Legendary Niagara Falls daredevil The Nabisco Kid takes one last plunge down the mighty waterfall, this time without a barrel, head first, right into a boulder. His son must identify the body at the coroner's office, but without a map, and far from home, the Nabisco Kid's kid could be in for trouble, especially if he doesn't start dreaming! Written by Devon Fick, soundtrack by Alice Kemp. Voices:...

Daredevils have always held a special place in Niagara Falls lore, but when the town started cracking down on all forms of stunts, daredevils were forced underground. When two veteran daredevils, Ace Dog and The Nabisco Kid, find each other at a secret Talk House, a plan gets hatched to pull off the greatest stunt of all time. It's certain death, no matter what! Written by Ric Royer, voices by Ric...

The Mayor of Niagara Falls approves this message!

Lets take a detour to the Oracle Feed n' Seed on the corner of Packard and Porter. The only local Feed n' Seed that sells both good coffee and psychic advice along with 50 pound bags of dog food and horse inseminator syringes; the only local business that contains the true oracular power of the falls themselves. When things seem murky and unclear, stop in and buy six dozen baby chicks in a box, an...

Our season 4 finale gets nicely wrapped up by Barbara, host of the Missing and Probably Dead podcast, a nationally renown show about people who disappear and usually turn up dead. The case of the missing psychics in Niagara Falls gets featured in a national spotlight after the psychics all suddenly return, and act like nothing happened. Barbara probes into the many questions that the case leaves h...
