The Timber

Thousands of people every year claim to be haunted by shadow people, and I am one of them. Some believe them to be guardians, or angels keeping watch over them at night. Some think that they are demons, sent from Hell to terrify and weaken the spiritual strength of those they visit. Some say that they are simply ghosts, replaying their lives repeatedly on a loop. What are they? Let's try to find o...

In the 1860s, Boston photographer William Mumler took a self portrait that would change his life. In the photo, above his shoulder, was the translucent image of a woman. She appeared to be made of light, and upon further inspection, Mumler believed the image to be that of his cousin, who had died twelve years earlier. Whether he meant to or not, Mumler stumbled on the first ever instance of “spiri...

In the fall of 1939, a mysterious being terrorized the streets of Provincetown, Massachusetts. As the season went on and the incidents became more and more violent, many started to believe that the thing haunting their town was the same entity that prowled the streets of Victorian London a century earlier.  What are these beings, and what do they want with us?

This is the story of the less-dead. This is the story of how sex workers, and those caught in the throes of drug addiction are viewed as less-than-human. This is the story of our failure to protect those who need us the most. This is the story of how reluctant we are to look into the shadows, and how this allows the monsters who call the darkness home to operate freely. This is the story of the Ne...

The city center of Boston might house some of the world’s finest doctors and scientists, there are still wide swaths of land in this state where the boundaries between science and magic are blurred. Where fact and fiction blend until the world around you becomes unrecognizable. One such place is probably the most paranormally active areas in the entire country. It has UFO sightings, cryptids, curs...

Rogue's Hollow, Ohio is home to many different types of spirits. Its most famous spirit, though, isn't so because it's unique or new.   It’s a spirit that haunts hundreds of locations all over the country. A happening that every single one of you has heard of, and most of you have probably visited in your lifetime. That phenomenon is the crybaby bridge. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY TYLER LISTON MU...

Every once in a while, I’m going to touch on subjects that need a little more explanation or context than what our normal runtime allows. As you could probably tell from the end of our last episode, we’re going to talk a little bit about Wright Patterson Air Force Base, its history, and the role it plays in the world of extraterrestrial phenomenon.

Ohio is inundated with UFO sightings and other instances of high strangeness. Why is this? What could these beings be looking for?

In the 1930's Cleveland's homeless population was under attack. The Mad Butcher of Kingsbury Run killed thirteen people in a four year span, but no one knows why. Let's look at the facts, and try to see into the mind of one of Ohio's most horrific killers.

At the end of our fourth episode, we posited that Bigfoot-like giant humanoids are not apes, nor are they an extinct species of human, but rather one of these so-called Ultraterrestrials. What does this mean, and how does it explain these sightings?

Bigfoot. Sasquatch. Skunk Ape. Yeti. Grassman. Momo. Wood Booger…  Whatever you want to call them, every state has their own tales of Bigfoot-like creatures. Illinois is no different.

The Algonquian speaking tribes who settled in present day Illinois like the Shawnee, Kickapoo, Illiniwek, and Menominee, have a name for the legendary flying beasts who wreak havoc on their lands.    They call them Thunderbirds.

What do you even do with the body of a loved one after they die? Most rational human beings would call the police, or the coroner, or a funeral home.  Two small town residents in Illinois had something a little different in mind.

In the premiere episode of The Timber, we take a look at three tales of unimaginable horror that take place surrounding a small creek in Central Illinois.
