An atmospheric podcast of topics that reside on the fringes of our reality. This podcast was born out of a life long curiosity of all things strange and unusual. An early obsession with UFOs, Bigfoot and some personal experiences with the paranormal fueled my passion for high strangeness. My love for discussion and drive to hear others' encounters led me to hosting my own podcast. The show is an interview based, non-toxic environment where witnesses can share their experiences with a knowledgeable host that's truly interested.
