Can Montreal match the rest of Quebec's freak? Oh yes. Not only is my
favorite city home to a couple of the strangest haunts we've ever found
on this show - including one that's downright murderous - it's also got
plenty of strange defects in reality we're still trying to understand,
none of which have to do with being French

What do a ghost in a unitard, supersoldier programs, and and an IV of
Mountain Dew have in common? They're just a small selection of the
conspiracy-minded insanity we talk about on this episode with Dave &
Sarge, hosts of the Cryptid Cocktail Party podcast. Dave and Sarge are stand-up guys and this is undoubtedly one of our favorite conversations we've ever had on this show.

In the New Jersey Pine Barrens, where the trees grow dense and the roads give way to tangled wilderness, something stirs. The locals say you can hear it on the coldest nights—a high-pitched shriek, something not quite human, not quite beast.
The stories go back centuries. Some say it was a curse, an omen of misfortune that slithered into this world on a storm-wracked night. Others claim it was the child of a mother who, in her desperation or her rage, called upon the Devil himself. The details shift with time, but the warning remains the same: stay out of the pines after dark.
Because if you listen closely, past the rustling leaves and the distant howl of the wind, you might just hear the beat of leathery wings.
And by then, it’s already too late.

Radio is everywhere an invisible yet omnipresent force shaping our daily lives. From the FM signals in your car to the Wi-Fi in your home, radio waves are the backbone of modern communication. The concept of Radio Everywhere emphasizes this ubiquity, highlighting how radio frequencies permeate our environment, enabling devices to connect and communicate seamlessly. Educational platforms like https://www.radiopluggers.com/ play a crucial role in promoting this understanding, offering resources that delve into the science and impact of radio technologies. As we continue to innovate, recognizing the pervasive nature of radio will be key to harnessing its full potential.

I'm in western Australia just south of Perth a city called mandurah. We are having a heat wave tomorrow it's 39°c and our kids 2nd day of the year at school. #ghoststoryguys
How awesome 3 of my favourite podcasters together.
Brennan the first time I went to Ikea in Sydney Australia I got lost and was getting into a state.. I think being in Ikea could be an excuse for not attending weddings funerals and any other major events..
the music and sound was nice not including the clip clops. clip clops. clip clops. clip clops why you angry clops clip clip clops why's yer eye twitchclops ingclip clip clops clip clops
the acting is not great, but made more apparent contrasting with the narration and sound. it's like whiplash from listening CRINGE immersing CRINGE ahhh narrator AHHHHhHh AH AHAH AH AC TOR
the narrator from nosleep who does so many (too many) audible narrations does caricature accents for all characters. Mrs doubtfires every female character, kids have to "Billy" mouth breathe and toddler lisp age 2 to 12. at 13 they get doubtfired or rooney-ed or sinister Chad or rooney-ed ( I stopped audible after witnessing barthelme short stories being slaughtered by these voices.
check it out!
great show! when Jim is on a fellow podcasters it's so fun and creepy!
I really enjoyed listening to the three of you chatting and exploring issues, great show.
You can't make friends as an adult. it's impossible. everyone has their friends from youth and college, etc. and as an adult you can't find anyone who wants anymore friends. those who are friendly aren't interested in anything deeper. they aren't going to be there for you in good times and bad. friendship is overrated. you don't need it.
Isn't the baby crying noise just a bobcat or cougar or something like that?
or maybe, the father and previous partner had a miscarriage and that spirit didn't want to be forgotten
"Bigfoot is an alien..." "NO HE'S NOT!!!!" 😂😂 Aww, poor Paul xx
"There's money to be made from this! Let's hope Baggins isn't listening!" Me..... "Why would Bilbo want a ghost podcast...?" 🤔 Ahhhh... Bagans.... 😂😂♥️ xxxxx
just added Evil Eye to my watch list!
loved this episode 😄
