Friend of the podcast, Keely joins Isaac in doing a full discussion of another classic by the late great Cormac McCarty; The Road. We get into what makes this Keely's favorite book, what it means to "carry the fire", the father/son bond, the horrors of a gray apocalyptic world, everyone's favorite phrase "ok", and as always so much more. If you have thoughts on this episode, your own interpretation of the book or just wanna say hi, feel free to reach out at lostpagespod@gmail.com.
We're back with a different sort of episode! Isaac and special guest Dalton delve deep into the late great, Cormac McCarthy and his magnum opus; Blood Meridian. We are not literary critics or published authors, just two friends having an honest conversation about a book that we both love. BM is a difficult book to get through at times but we do our best in seeing through the violence and inhospitable landscapes and look for the meaning behind it all. Pulling from Samuel Chamberlains, My Confession, we also look briefly into the history behind the villain of all villains, Judge Holden, and the leader of the gang, John Joel Glanton. We would love to hear your thoughts on Blood Meridian at lostpagespod@gmail.com.
We revisit our old friends, Dalton as a special guest and our subject Edgar Cayce with an unofficial Part 4 in which we cover many of the topics that we felt didn't get a proper discussion on our original series. We delve deep into some of the Sleeping Prophets later readings in which he gave his followers prophecies about cataclysmic changes and much more. We go into his thoughts on Atlantis and Lemuria and touch on the lives of his family that survived him and some of his followers and other spiritualists that were heavily influenced by Cayce such as Arthur Ford and Ruth Montgomery. Take another look into this wild mind with us!
We are revisiting the one and only Edgar Cayce, the Sleeping Prophet and American Nostradomus. Founder of the A.R.E, a game called Pit and a prophetic healer, Edgar Cayce keeps coming back up for us and we just can't let him go. In lead up to a new episode on Mr. Cayce we have decided to remaster our original 3 part series on the legendary mystic. We hope you enjoy this Kentucky bred spiritualist as much as we do.

Imagine yourself walking through the dark hills of Eastern Kentucky in the 1800s when suddenly you come upon a group of blue skinned people. Seems like something out of a Sci fi novel but this was reality in the holler of Troublesome Creek. Join us in discussing how Martin Fugate, a French orphan, in one of the most bizarre cases of pure coincidence, began a family line of blue people in Ky.
We're back with the story of an unfortunately mostly forgotten about cult. Though they are still present today in El Cajon, California, the Unarians celebrated their peak in the 1980's, where they made films about past lives and their lore. You may have even seen the Supreme leader herself, Uriel, on public access television! Join us in delving into the space shenanigans of the Unarius Academy of Science!
Felipe Espinosa and his newly recruited accomplice, 14 year old Julian, were in the midst of a killing spree when the army called in their most trusted tracker in 1863. We tell the story of Tom Tobin, a larger than life character, and how he put a stop to the Bloody Espinosas; and of course, there are disagreements on how exactly he did that.
We're back with another tale of strange history! This time we are taking a look at frontier serial killers, Felipe Espinosa and his brother Jose, collectively known as the Bloody Espinosas. Myth and legend surround the Espinosas; one of the few things for certain is that 1863 was a hard time to live in Colorado. Join us in delving into the motivations behind Felipe's reign of terror; was it a divine act? Vengeance? Or just bloodlust? We're here to break it all down.
Isaac and John are taking a look back at 1976 with a case that helped shape the public perception and culture surrounding alien abduction and UFO's in general. Join us in delving into the often forgotten story of three women from Central Kentucky who claim to have lost hours of their lives due to being picked up by a UFO.
The boys are changing the name of the podcast! We are now Lost in the Pages! We breakdown the change in this small announcement episode. Our old episodes aren't going anywhere so if you still wanna listen to R&C, we'll still be there! Thanks for listening everyone! Stay tuned for a lot more strange and interesting stories coming up!
In light of recent events, Isaac and John, as 2 Kentuckians, decided to toss in our two cents into the Cocaine Bear phenomenon. Hear us educate ourselves on ole Cokey the Bear, how he ended up in Lexington, KY and how he really doesn't have much to do with Kentucky (despite what we believed).
Have a minisode for Christmas! Flying solo on this one, Isaac tells the story of Christmas day, 1809, in Danville, KY as frontier physician, Ephraim McDowell attempts to become the first person to successfully remove an ovarian tumor. The chances were slim to none but perhaps a Christmas miracle was in store for Jane Todd Crawford? (Spoiler alert: it was!). Happy Winter Solstice and a very Merry Christmas!

We've got a big boy episode today, father of American (and modern) Spiritualism, you know him, you love him, Andrew Jackson Davis!! No, not the president. Called the Poughkeepsie Seer, AJD, went into trance before it was popular and held sessions that sometimes could cure your cough, and other times predict the end of times. So join Isaac and Grady and learn more about the man with the prophetic air, an astral cemetery, a magic staff, the Moral Police and so much more!
Continuing our dive into spiritualism, the boys take a look at the science of "soul-measuring," Psychometry! Specifically, we delve deep into the life of its founder, Joseph Rodes Buchanan; a doctor like no other from Kentucky! We talk therapeutic touch, the "sensitive mode," skull shapes, cerebral organs, fasting girls and so much more! Email us at lostpagespod@gmail.com
We kick of the Spiritual Fall of 2022 with the story of Mary Ann Scannell Pepper Vanderbilt, a psychic medium, and her spirit guide of 34 years, Little Bright Eyes! We get into how Bright Eyes came into her life, her marriage to a big whig Vanderbilt, a Dublin spirit, and so much more!
On a very special episode of Rumors & Confabulation, John, Grady and Isaac discuss a grave topic...bizarre gravestones! We get into a brief look into popular grave art in America, odd facts about graves and a few stories about the oddballs who have odd graves. Plus! Check us out now on YouTube! That's right, this podcast is on video as well so if you wanna see the boys in action, go check us out!
In the second part of this fascinatingcase from 1948, we breakdown the theories and questions that continue to circulate around this odd case of KY, UFO and aviation lore. What was "Shiny" Mantell truly chasing? Was the UFO something tangible? A mean extraterrestrial? Or is it possibly even paranormal? We get into all of that plus how the government loves to hide things in the conclusion to the Mantell UFO Incident!
We're back with Phase 3 of Rumors & Confabulation! To kick things off we are covering a UFO Incident from Kentucky. In 1948 Captain Thomas Mantell, during a routine transport mission, took off in hot pursuit after an unidentified object; a pursuit that ended in tragedy. In Part 1 the boys breakdown the case, who Thomas "Shiny" Mantell was and how he ended up in a field outside of Franklin, KY. It's good to be back.
