Slaying Monsters

Matt, Katie and EJ discuss the latest in Fortean news, talking about 3i/Atlas, the alleged alien probe and aliens spying on nuclear tests. We also hold the first Fortean Quizzo! Play along and see how much you know - or don't - abut the world of high strangeness.    3i/Atlas radio signals:  https://www.wired.com/story/the-first-radio-signal-from-comet-3i-atlas-ends-debate-about-its-nature/   UAPs investigating nuclear tests:  https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2025/10/28/uap-nuclear-testing-study/86941783007/# https://www.space.com/space-exploration/search-for-life/were-unexplained-flashes-of-light-in-70-year-old-sky-surveys-caused-by-ufos-or-nuclear-testing-why-not-both-researchers-say   slayingmonsterspodcast.com supporters.slayingmonsterspodcast.com

In the late 1950s, a wild theft took place in Nepal. Funded by a Texas oil baron, a cryptozoologist snuck into a Tibetan monastery and stole the finger of a mummified yeti hand. Using an elaborate network of connections, the finger found its way from cryptozoologists to actors to scientists, before finally landing in the lap of the Zoological Society of London, where it was lost for decades.   Although the authenticity of the hand and finger are debatable, the story of the daring theft, and the colorful characters that concocted this scheme, are some of the most fascinating in the history of cryptozoology. It’s a tale of swashbucklers, scandal, and maybe the greatest evidence of the abominable snowman.   slayingmonsterspodcast.com supporters.slayingmonsterspodcast.com

Matt, Katie and EJ conclude their investigation of the Amityville haunting. Vampire researcher Stephen Kaplan starts his own research into the house, and the Lutz family. Deals are made and broken, while the horror takes on a life of its own. However, the true story isn't the ghosts in the house, but how a broke family and a desperate lawyer reinvented the horror franchise overnight.    slayingmonsterspodcast.com supporters.slayingmonsterspodcast.com

Matt, Katie and EJ continue their investigation of the Amityville Haunting. The ghosts and Jodi the pig pull out all the stops to torment the Lutz family. Even psychic mediums and demon hunters can't stop them, and the family flees in terror. But how much of this story is true? And how much is a fabrication by the Lutzes - and the most famous paranormal investigators in the world?   slayingmonsterspodcast.com  supporters.slayingmonsterspodcast.com 

Matt, Katie and EJ continue their investigation of the haunting in Amityville. Immediately after the Lutz family moves in, strange things start happening. Nightmares, moving objects, bizarre odors and even visits from demonic pigs. But are these disturbing stories the ghosts of the past? Or are there more sinister motives behind the alleged hauntings?    slayingmonsterspodcast.com supporters@slayingmonsterspodcast.com

The Amityville Horror is a story of real-life murder, of ancient rites and sacrifices, of unspeakable terrors that plagued a family. It’s the story of an evil so powerful that it could twist men’s minds, driving them to unspeakable acts of violence. A story of possession and demonic attacks, and malicious corruption. But this is also the story of manipulation, of deceit and a shitload of lies. Because the Amityville Horror house was never haunted. But the characters who built the story did so with such skill that they crafted not just another haunted house tale, but an entire media franchise. Built on a foundation of lies, the Amityville Horror redefined the haunting narrative, and skyrocketed the story’s architects into unquestionable fame.   slayingmonsterspodcast.com supporters.slayingmonsterspodcast.com

Matt, Katie and EJ conclude their investigation into the zombies of Haiti, and the mysterious zombie drug. All throughout the country's history, secret societies have leveraged power and fear to achieve their goals. But how much influence do these strange groups have, and is there any truth to their magical practices?    slayingmonsterspodcast.com/ supporters.slayingmonsterspodcast.com  

Matt, Katie and EJ continue their investigation into the Zombies of Haiti. Researcher Wade Davis interviews two real life zombies, trying to understand what really happened. With the help of a bokor, he learns the true formula to create an undead state in a living person, and drug them into believing they are a zombie. But is this the true explanation?

Matt, Katie and EJ continue their investigation of the Zombies of Haiti. We talk about the truth and lies of Voudo, and where the zombie fits into the history of this often-demonized religion. And when an alleged "real" zombie appears in Haiti in the 1980s, American academics get involved. Is there truth behind the zombie myth? Is it possible that a chemical cocktail can mimic this state of "undeath" and provide the foundation for these creatures?    slayingmonsterspodcast.com supporters.slayingmonsterspodcast.com

In 1962, a man named Clairvius Narcisse died in a Haitian hospital from kidney failure. That alone wouldn’t be remarkable, except that twenty years later, that same man reappeared, alive and well. He claimed that he’d been resurrected from the dead, and forced to work for years on a sugar plantation. He toiled alongside several other enslaved zombies until a successful uprising, where they killed their overlord sorcerer and freed themselves. Narcisse’s incredible story is one of dark magic, arcane rituals and underbelly of organized crime in Haiti.   slayingmonsterspodcast.com supporters.slayingmonsterspodcast.com

Matt, Katie and EJ conclude their investigation into Die Glocke, the alleged Nazi super weapon. Two journalists scout a Polish mine in search of the bell, and its true power. Was it an antigravity device, a time machine, or a flying saucer? Or, was the true power of Die Glocke the conversations it started, and the mythology that it built in the minds of a credulous population of conspiracy theorists? Plus, Foo Fighters, the Philadelphia Experiment and some of the greatest fringe theories in history...and out of time!    slayingmonsterspodcast.com supporters.slayingmonsterspodcast.com

Matt, Katie and EJ tackle the latest in Fortean news this month. New revelations about the government's involvement in UAPs come to light, and spark renewed interest in an old UFO story.

Matt, Katie and EJ continue their investigation of Die Glocke, the alleged secret Nazi wonder weapon. After the end of World War II, rumors begin building. Were the Nazis worshiping an ancient evil? And were they truly defeated, or did they flee to Antarctica, where they continued their crusade? As Nazi sympathizers muddy the waters with their own insane theories, modern journalist Igor Witkowski draws even closer to the long buried secret of Die Glocke.    slayingmonsterspodcast.com supporters.slayingmonsterspodcast.com

In the closing days of World War II, the remaining Nazi scientists and engineers set to work on a last-ditch effort: a weapon that could reshape the end of the war. Dubbed the “die glocke” or “the bell,” it was the ultimate “wunderwaffe” or wonder weapon. Some claimed it was an antigravity aircraft, designed to outmaneuver the Allies’ fighter planes. Others claimed it was a time machine, and Hitler’s intent was to travel back in time and correct his military mistakes, guaranteeing him victory. Still others thought die glocke was built from salvaged alien technology, a weapon truly out of this world.   slayingmonsterspodcast.com supporters.slayingmonsterspodcast.com
