Episode 35: Timothy and Jon head back to Michaux Forest where they meet Kelly and Mark (along with Ben and Cayden). Kelly and Mark experienced a fearful night of horrid screams and awful smells while camping back in 1985. They had not returned to the site since that night but met us in the forest to tell their story where it happened. Then Timothy goes to a local park to investigate a very recent report of strange activity.

Episode 31: Alison returns to talk with Timothy about historical wild men of a different sort (not bigfoot). Circus sideshow and dime museum "wild men" performers as well as unfortunate souls - itinerants, the insane, or simply people who wandered away from society, looked different, and were labeled "wild men" often out of fear. We talk about Houdini, The Wild Men of Borneo, the Fiji Cannibals, Eko and Iko, and other circus performers. We also discuss the strange and sad case of a York County "wild man" who eventually ended up in the County Alms House with the diagnosis "troubled with ghosts".

Episode 19: We've been hinting about Site 7 on previous shows.

James and I will relate our own experiences at Site 7, some other findings, and on-site audio on a future episode. (Please note: there are some issues with the audio in this episode.
