Description

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.

1981 Rome Township, Ohio.A family reported something surrounding their farm for weeks.Large upright figures in the fields.Massive footprints in the soil.Lights hovering low over the trees.It got so bad they climbed onto their roof with rifles and fired into the darkness.And whatever was out there… didn’t run.Tonight we break down the documented case known as Night Siege as documented by Dennis Pilichis in a book by the same name. Follow us on Spreaker here at https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/uncomfortable--6475273 It's free to sign up there and if you listen to us on Spreaker it will actually help support the show.

What if MK Ultra never ended… but evolved? In this episode I explore the disturbing claims surrounding The Montauk Project—an alleged secret program operating out of Camp Hero in Montauk, New York, where mind control, psychic warfare, and even time manipulation were said to take place. Tracing threads from MK Ultra, Project Stargate, and the Philadelphia Experiment, this episode examines reports of human experimentation, the so-called Montauk Boys, and why many believe these programs were never shut down—only buried deeper beneath layers of secrecy. This isn’t about belief. It’s about patterns, hidden history, and what happens when government secrecy collides with human consciousness. If the truth makes you uncomfortable… This episode is for you. Follow us on Spreaker here at https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/uncomfortable--6475273 It's free to sign up there and if you listen to us on Spreaker it will actually help support the show.

Bigfoot isn’t folklore—and Stacy Brown Jr. knows it firsthand. In this returning episode of uNcomfortable, researcher and filmmaker Stacy Brown Jr. joins Erick to discuss his new YouTube project The Bigfoot Underground, years of collected data, and the experience that permanently shattered his skepticism. We dive deep into the Patterson–Gimlin film, examining why—decades later—it still refuses to be debunked, but he still has serious reservations about it. Stacy shares insight from field research, audio evidence, eyewitness patterns, and why the phenomenon behaves far more intelligently than pop culture suggests. This is not a campfire story. It’s a grounded, unsettling conversation about evidence, encounters, and the moment when Bigfoot stopped being a theory—and became real. If you think you already know the Bigfoot story, this episode may change that. Follow us on our new platform Spreaker here at https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/uncomfortable--6475273 It's free to sign up there and if you listen to us on Spreaker it will actually help support the show.

Insightful conversation with filmaker Seth Breedlove of Small Town Monsters. We cover the gambit of 10 years of productions with STM, personal experiences and the stories that have impacted him and shaped his stoytelling.
This week, my guest is Carter Buschardt — a seasoned field investigator and author who’s spent years collecting and documenting firsthand encounters with Bigfoot. Carter’s work goes far beyond campfire stories; he’s interviewed hundreds of credible witnesses and uncovered patterns in behavior, family groups, and even intergenerational sightings that suggest something far more complex than folklore.Beliveing they're intelligent, elusive, and possibly even capable of limited telepathic or energetic communication. His meticulous reports with the BFRO and his books bring a rare balance of fieldwork, science, and open-minded curiosity to the phenomenon.We dig deep into his evidence, the human side of encounters, habituations and why so many credible witnesses continue to come forward — despite the ridicule.
Here's my sumation and takeaways from the September 9th Congressional hearing on UAP disclousre and whistleblower protections.

Just you and me tonight guys! In this episode I'm not trying to convience anyone that Bigfoot exists as much as trying to put all my thoughts together and make sense of why...with the body of evidence that currently exists... there is still no formal scientific interest in this phenomenon.

If the host could actually have a conversation with his guests instead of interrupting them and pontificating at them, it could be an interesting show.

If this guy would stop monologing and let Dr. Meldrum talk, it would have been a better interview.

well I'll be damned. I literally quit listening to the show a few months ago because of him interrupting people and making the show about himself, I just decided to give it one more try and not even 10 minutes into the show and he's a already interrupted a guest literally in mid sentence to start talking about himself. somebody needs to tell this guy that other people exist. never again. wow. if you can't let other people get an entire sentence out you shouldn't be a podcast host. so rude!!

once again the show gets hijacked by the host, and with a completely underwhelming story about being touched on the hand by a ghost. I realize that this is supposed to be a back in the 4th conversation but it's every single show at least half is not more is the host telling stories of his own. and I know the guests are just sitting there thinking I thought I was supposed to be the guest. like literally just has a podcast so he can talk about himself

pretty sure Erik created this podcast so he could talk about himself constantly, and then go back and listen to himself talking about himself constantly in whatever leftover time he has.

over 20 minutes in and Erik is still babbling about himself, as always. if they don't get to the meat and potatoes of what's supposedly in this episode, I'm out. God, it's so aggravating to listen to 30 minutes of the host talking about himself and asking the guest boring questions, if for a moment he happens to stop talking about himself for a brief moment. nobody gives a crap about how this girl got into podcasting, or how Erik feels about 874 different things. enough already

it's a damn shame that they are so many people that are so close-minded that they will write off a friend/relative just for their belief in things like this. there's a lot of WEIRD shit going on in the world today, I think it always has been, but more people are starting to notice it for whatever reason. it's more & more apparent, but there are still just sooo many people that automatically dismiss subjects like this. I wanna tell them all YOU'LL SEE. and then I'm going to say I TOLD YOU SO! lol
