Paranormal Palaver

After sampling a smorgasbord of untantalizing Thanksgiving side dishes, the booger boys turned to Native American lore.  Specifically, the skinwalker and Walking Sam took center stage.  Then the Wendigo returned as Jason Hewlett stopped by to discuss his new book, HEART OF ICE.

Time travel, 3D printed body parts, and googly eyes made the news.  Then, the boys pulled apart the layers of humanity's fear of artificial life forms: the Uncanny Valley.  Our discomfort with the robotic has been with us since the technology was conceived.  Where will our future with robots and androids take us?  And what lies upon the ridge beyond the valley?

LW and Aaron moved on from weird news to SPOOKY NEWS as October got underway.  They also probed the nature of fear.  Why do we enjoy being scared?  A simple matter of body chemistry or something beyond common biology? Later, our friends Austin and Caleb stopped by to discuss everything associated with their top-shelf show GHOSTS IN THE MOUNTAINS.   Ghosts in the Mountains | Paranormal Podcast 25 Shocking (And Amazing) Pumpkin Spice Products for 2025 "Supernatural Horror in Literature" by H.

With our society growing increasingly tense, the need for a safe place for a brief escape has never been more necessary.  This week, to accommodate that need- and prepare for a month-long celebration of spookiness in October- the booger boys recounted the events of the Mothman Festival and then welcomed the delightful James Willis to the cabin for an evening of marvelous storytelling.  My Strange & Spooky World – The online home of author and paranormal researcher James A.

Don Jeffery Meldrum, 1958-2025.  Rest in Peace. After hearing of the loss of Dr. Meldrum, the cabin clan decided to put aside their plans for spooky season and offer this week's show as a tribute.  First, LW and Aaron deliberated the place Sasquatch holds among the native American tribes, both in oral history and pictographs.  Then, they revisited their chat with Dr. Meldrum in May to relive his insights and evidence for the hairy man.   The Relict Hominoid Inquiry | Idaho State University How People were made: All the birds and animals of the mountains went to Hocheu (Painted Rock) to make People Pre-Columbian and Early American Legends of Bigfoot-like Beings   To contact us with an experience, comment, or question, reach out at kentuckybooger75@gmail.com.

The news offered many intriguing anecdotes (FYI, LW is not a legitimate wizard) but the distraction was short-lived.  The booger boys faced the reality of a disaster which SHOULD have been prevented, and the conspiracy that prevented true accountability.  May the Challenger crew be ever remembered.

The booger boys approached the news with some levity, as much of the evening would be shrouded in icy darknesss.  For- after a report from the Tennessee Wildman and CryptidCon- they focused on the cannibal monstrosity which has long haunted the northwest.  This included a look at two humans who, some claim, fell into the pit of "Wendigo Psychosis".   M K Davis' Presentation at 2025 Tennessee Wildman and Cryptid Con.

We wished a/an (un) fond farewell to all trolls and hucksters. The news segment spilled over into a thought experiment concerning time travel and UFOs.  If we see tiny gaps in space/time, could particles such as photons be sent into the past?  How would they materialize on the other side?
