  Episode 100: The Mothman Prophecies Part 1

  Sep 29, 20261h 3m

  On a cold December day in 1967, a suspension bridge in West Virginia collapsed. The accident happened at rush hour, plunging automobiles into the chilly Ohio river. In the years that followed the tragedy, strange stories began to emerge. Some residents claimed that they had seen a bizarre, winged creature on the nights leading up to the collapse. Described as a huge, flying animal with glowing red eyes, this creature was quickly linked to the ill-fated bridge, and the deaths of nearly fifty motorists. Dubbed “Mothman,” this strange entity would become one of the most popular figures in all of cryptozoology. Existing in the grey area between real animals and spiritual guardians, Mothman has become a harbinger of doom. If you see the red eyes, tragedy is coming. But the origins of Mothman are even stranger. The creation of this myth dips into so many buckets of Fortean science, that Mothman is almost a mascot for the field. You can’t talk about this cryptid without talking about alien visitation, men in black, hollow earth, clairvoyance, and the bizarre, swirling pot that brewed mid-century esotericism. slayingmonsterspodcast.com Become a supporter: supporters.slayingmonsterspodcast.com Slaying Monsters merch: slayingmonsterspodcast-shop.fourthwall.com Pre-order Ana Must Die (Again) by EJ Green: https://zandoprojects.com/books/ana-must-die-again-paperback

  Episode 99: The Ghost Fleet of Chuuk Lagoon

  Sep 15, 20261h 4m

  We’ve talked about haunted locations before, from the Winchester Mystery House to Bhangarh Fort and the grandaddy of them all, the Amityville House. But today’s topic is not just one of the most haunted structures, it’s one of the most haunted seas in the world. Surrounding a remote atoll in Micronesia is a graveyard of automobiles, planes, and ships; the victims of a massive battle during World War II. Called the “Ghost Fleet of Chuuk Lagoon,” these wrecks are not only one of the most popular and iconic dives. Allegedly, they are haunted by the ghosts of the Japanese and American Naval soldiers who lost their lives in the conflict. Divers claim to have seen ghostly apparitions in the wreckage. Some even claim to have encountered phantom divers that follow them as they traverse the rusting husks. Others swear they have heard voices, or running machinery, as if the spirits are continuing their work in the chilling depths. slayingmonsterspodcast.com Become a supporter: supporters.slayingmonsterspodcast.com Slaying Monsters merch: slayingmonsterspodcast-shop.fourthwall.com Pre-order Ana Must Die (Again) by EJ Green: https://zandoprojects.com/books/ana-must-die-again-paperback

  Episode 98: The Curse of the Crying Boy Part 2 - A Crying Flame

  Sep 1, 20261h 2m

  Matt, Katie, and EJ conclude their investigation of the Curse of the Crying Boy, a haunted painting with the power to burn whatever it touches. The Sun offers to burn Londoner's copies of the painting in a public pyre, claiming it will finally rid them of the curse. But as the story spreads, some people claim that the remaining pictures of crying children are still jinxed. Is it true, or is there some more mundane explanation for why these pantings refuse to go up in flames? slayingmonsterspodcast.com Become a supporter: supporters.slayingmonsterspodcast.com Slaying Monsters merch: slayingmonsterspodcast-shop.fourthwall.com
