Lost in the Pages

Live action! Remember when reality shows about weird southern people was all over cable tv? Well, in this episode we talk all about the modern Kentucky legend, The Turtleman! Ernie Brown Jr aka The Turtleman or the Wildman was the star of the flash in the pan hit Animal Planet Show, Call of the Wildman. Join us as Isaac, John, Dalton and special guest Jacob (still with us from France) go into dept...

We just couldn't stay away from making fun of some racists. Isaac surprises John, Dalton and his brother Jacob (special guest coming all the way from France) with a story about Jack Kershaw, the creator of the ugliest statue in the USA. The statue of Confederate General and first KKK Grand Wizard, Nathan Bedford Forrest on the outskirts of Nashville is infamous for how racist, dopey and outright r...

Welcome to Tennessee! In our first ever remote recording Isaac and John stay historical in the 1800's and confabulate on the Monthaven Mansion, a Civil War era plantation house outside of Nashville. Learn about its previous owners like LB Fite, how it became an arts center and its role in the Civil War itself. We also discuss the future of the pod and why we've gone remote (spoiler alert, someone...

Rumpsey Dumpsey! In our conclusion to the life of the deadbeat VP, Dick Johnson, John, Isaac and Dalton confabulate on his love for Andrew Jackson, what truly makes him the worst VP of all time, selling chickens and somehow the Hollow Earth Theory comes in (it's strangely not out of place). All of that and more!

We've got a 2 parter covering the American Vice President so bad that the President decided to go it alone after 4 years of dealing with him! Welcome to the lifestory of Richard Mentor Johnson! We cover his early life in the Kentucky Frontier, his "heroics" in the War of 1812, his "romance" with an enslaved woman and so so much more. He's called the "most vile man of all the vile men in the world"...

In our first Local Oddities (small tales from KY/TN) we confabulate on a little known cryptid out of Trimble County, KY- The Canip Monster or Milton Lizard, your choice on the name. We've got an auto shop owner with the name "Tuffy", grunts and groans of a lizardman, amphibious aliens, confusion on what a glizzy is and more!

The boys are back in town as Isaac surprises everyone with what begins as a mystery topic and ends with a better understanding of the Vent Haven Museum (the world's only museum dedicated to ventriloquism based in our home state of Kentucky), it's founder W.S. Berger and ventriloquism in general. If there are any ventriloquists listening, we apologize for our behavior.

Attack of the clowns! John, Dalton and Isaac confabulate on the Phantom Clown phenomenon that most recently plagued America in 2016 but the story goes back much further than that. Is it all an elaborate hoax? Is it a case of collective crazy? Or do we have cryptid clowns on our hands? We'll break it all down for ya with a lot of laughs along the way.

Isaac, John, and Dalton confabulate on the 1911 mystery death cult, the Church of Sacrifice, a murdering "demon deaconess" Clementine Barnarbet, voodoo, getting brained by an ax, racism in the bayou and an alarmingly strange amount of Creed references.

Have you ever wondered what it's like to eat a guy? Let's hope that's a no. The whole gang, plus special guest Jake, confabulate on some of the lesser known tales of cannibalism in the USA. We keep it light with cases such as Jean Baptiste, the French/Utah Human Monster, the Kentucky (who really didn't live in Ky) Cannibal and the Colorado Cannibal himself, Alferd Packer! Plus more!

Our conclusion to the lifestory of the Sleeping Prophet, Edgar Cayce! Believe it or not, things get even weirder! In this episode we discuss Edgar's time in Dayton and Texas, his possible affair, and the founding of the A.R.E. We also confabulate on some of the most controversial statements that the Source delivered through Edgar; Atlantis, Japan going under the sea, a physical description of Jesu...

We've got plenty of strangeness to discuss in our 2nd part of the Edgar Cayce lifestory as we examine how he recovered his voice and rose to prominence in Kentucky and beyond as a trance reading clairvoyant! Was he making it all up? Or did he truly communicate with a "higher self?"

It's time for the one, the only...Edgar Cayce! The great American clairvoyant and founder of the A.R.E., who is often considered the father of the modern New Age movement. We are giving him a full probe treatment as this will be the 1st of a 3 part series. Things are gonna get weird folks.

We're going out west! John, Isaac and Dalton confabulate on some criminals in, mostly, rural Colorado. What ties all of these stories together is Colorado State Penitentiary and Cañon City. We've got old school frontier justice, a child who got a little too jealous, and a rancher who doesn't like you talking about his family; plus more!

Welcoming in our man off the bench, Dalton! He joins the usual dudes, Isaac and John, as we go loosey goosey with a few stories about Murder for Hire plots that (thankfully) failed miserably. We're doing things a bit differently today, consider this a bonus, or more comedic episode!

We're talking Bigfoot in Ky! In this episode we confabulate about a few cases of Bigfoot sightings all across the state of Kentucky and give special attention to the mean ole Spotsville Monster and Bart Nunnelly.

In this inaugural episode of Rumors & Confabulation we discuss the story of the Kentucky Meat Shower of 1876! (Sorry for the poor audio quality, we get better!)
