Midnight in Kentucky

It’s that time again Nightowls, when the veil between our world and what lies beyond is supposedly at its thinnest. But what of those for whom that membrane between life as we know it and whatever may lay outside of it, at anytime, may wane complete- allowing for a pure gaze into the abyss? Neurosurgeon and unlikely war hero Ryan Brenan, protagonist of Dr. Gary Simonds latest novel ‘Death’s Pale Flag’, is a man haunted by just such a view. When he begins to have experiences with the dead, Ryan’s life is upended, and he begins to question if he is loosing his mind, or if the dearly departed, who are seemingly reaching out to him, have chosen him for a reason. Tonight on MIK, we sit down for an in-depth conversation with Dr. Simonds on his latest work and just what inspired this tale of a man beset by paranormal apparitions. In this episode we talk hopeful agnosticism, the border line between science and the supernatural, what it means to peer through the veil of life and death, and so much more! Join us under the moonlight and by the fireside this evening, Nightowls, as we capture Death’s Pale Flag and go in conversation with Dr. Gary Simonds!

On the last Saturday of October, just as the veil between worlds is sheer enough to allow passage of all manner of otherworldly travelers, something special takes place in Meade County, Kentucky. A celebration of the life and commemoration of the death of Leah Smock, The Battletown Witch, the only woman that history tells us was burned alive in America for the crime of Witchcraft- and it happened here- in The Bluegrass State. In 2022, we were honored to speak at the inaugural Battletown Witch festival. Tonight, you’ll hear that presentation in full, as we discuss just a few instances of those, and that, which have been called Witches in and around Kentucky. Additionally, we take a few questions from the audience, and festival organizer Annie Hamilton Edmond tells us the story of Leah Smock- The Battletown Witch- and talks briefly on the UFOlogical history of the area. While MIK were unable to attend the festival this year, we send our best to both organizers and and festival goers and can’t wait to join you again in 2024. For now, under the moonlight and by the fireside this evening, Midnight in Kentucky presents, Live from the 2022 Battletown Witch Festival: A Brief History of Kentucky Witches pt. 1.Shownotes: -The Battletown Witch Festival Onlinehttps://battletownwitch.com

In part two of MIK's three part volume three premiere, we get into all the strangeness of 2023 thus far, taking it straight back to the beginning of the year itself. We’ll explore just how this weirdness has led directly into summers ethereal nexus, which seems to have brought out all the supernatural stops. On tonight’s episode, we take a look at recent animal mutilations, crop circles, chupacabra, Mothman, flying humanoids, and of course UFO and alien sightings, that have been happening since January, and seem to have only increased in frequency since late spring. Join us under the full moon once again, Nightowls, and prepare yourself to come face to face with that which lies beyond the veil!

Jason Andrews is a man beset with initiation by the otherworldly. As host of the Paranormal Patio podcast, Jason has spoken with a variety of highly notable names in the fields of the paranormal, supernatural, and all around high strangeness. Jason’s own experiences with the phenomenal, however, are chock full of synchronicity and magick and are as astounding and perception shattering as any of the guests to which he has played host. On tonight’s episode of MIK, as the veil begins its thinning, we sit down with Jason to discuss the call of the ethereal and how that call has seemingly guided him most of his life to culminate into the strange journey he now finds himself on with the upcoming release of his video documentary project, “Surface: Before Me, My Altar.” From prophetic, lucid dreams, and the kinfolk of Aleister Crowley, to the possibility that the very entrance to the hollow Earth itself has been found right here in the Bluegrass… The hour has just struck midnight on the Paranormal Patio and MIK is in conversation with Jason Andrews to hear just how it all leads back to Kentucky!

Since the inception of the comic book medium, aliens, monsters, and extra-dimensional entities have always been stars of the color soaked page. This commitment of ethereal to panel, a pop culture reiteration of otherworldly phenomena continually finding a prominent place in the folklore of various cultures since the dawn of human history. Tonight on Midnight in Kentucky, we speak with comic aficionado and owner of the Bluegrass state’s largest comic book store, Jason Stephens, as well as folklorist and editor of Kentucky Folklife Digital Magazine, Delainey Bowers- who together host the podcast Comic Virgin. When not immersed in graphic novels, however, Delainey and Jason have also embarked on several investigations of the supernatural, paranormal, and out-and-out weird over the years. In this episode we discuss the through line between comics, folklore, and the phenomena at large, a few of Delainey and Jason’s more profound encounters with the unexplained, the ontological nature of the phenomena itself, and much more.

Next, we’ll discuss why F-22 fighter jets were scrambled in Hawaii when an UFO was see in the skies overhead. Keeping our gaze skyward, we’ll go over some of the startling official reports linking UFOs seen over US Navy ships to dogman like creatures, and with poltergeist phenomena, haunting the sailors, and their families, who were in charge of investigating the unexplained phenomena. Finally, we journey through the ancient legends of Japan in search of the Kitsune, a supposed nine tailed demon legend, recently freed from its captured slumber when the rock containing it broke in half near Tokyo. In our Spotlight Sighting of the Month, we talk of a video of a Phoenix Lights-like UFO supposedly filmed over Lake Barkley here in Kentucky, which garnered thousands of views, including our own, before the video and the account owner mysteriously disappeared from the internet. UFOs, dogmen, demons, and inexplicable mysteries tonight on the fourth edition of The Midnight in Kentucky Monthly Weird Report!Hear the full episode and support the show on Patreon!Patreon.com/midnightinkentuckyShownotes:-Mystery Animal That Escaped Wildlife Rescue Center Finally Identifiedhttps://www.newsweek.com/mystery-animal-that-escaped-wildlife-rescue-center-identified-1679247-The PA Chupacabra Finally Identified?https://thelibertyline.com/2022/02/20/has-the-pa-chupacabra-finally-been-identified/-Video captures moment hundreds of birds fell from the sky and died in Mexicohttps://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/video-captures-moment-hundreds-birds-dropped-dead-sky-mexico-rcna16297?fbclid=IwAR1T0dO1euqGmadiwqrHmE1YI3w5ijmcsXsKNSi6MrKC800B1dUfrga6Ja4-UFO Over Hawaii Causes F-22s To Scramblehttps://1059thex.iheart.com/content/2022-02-22-f-22s-scrambled-after-ufo-spotted-above-hawaii/?fbclid=IwAR0HtFV1j7WwU64WL8r6FWLBYudq-aWwKPhHMj0zkVKiZzQJUbLSH1DAGRw-How Believers in the Paranormal Birthed the Pentagon’s New Hunt for UFOshttps://www.military.com/daily-news/2022/03/07/how-believers-paranormal-birthed-pentagons-new-hunt-ufos.html/amp-Japan’s ‘killing stone’ splits in two, releasing superstitions amid the sulphur springshttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/mar/07/japans-killing-stone-splits-in-two-releasing-superstitions-and-toxic-gases

The Cryptid Studies Institute is a fellowship of dedicated, ethical, non kill researchers, founded by father and son team, Johnny and Elijah Henderson, and the entire Henderson family, who strive daily in an environment friendly, fellow human being friendly, animal friendly, benevolent manner to further the study and understanding of wild life creatures that have yet to be documented into the fossil record. On this episode of Midnight in Kentucky, in conversation with Elijah Henderson, we discuss the family’s ancestor’s experiences with a Sasquatch like entity in the mountains of eastern Tennessee, along with several other strange encounters leading to the founding of the Cryptid Studies Institute, as well his findings of connections between the creature commonly know as dogman, the Bell Witch, and The Salem Witch Trails, and of course, the legendary inhabitants of The Land Between the Lakes in Western Kentucky. Additionally, we talk about the theory that a family in the LBL area stricken with lycanthropy is responsible for the sightings of werewolf like creatures, as well as a possible ongoing conflict between Sasquatch and Dogmen, and the history of upright canids and humans throughout time and around the world. Tonight, join Midnight in Kentucky and the Cryptid Studies Institute as we explore the hills, hollers, valleys, and lake shores of Appalachia in search of what stalks these dark and bloody grounds.

There is a world just on the other side of the one we know. It speaks to us in signs and synchronicities, uncanny coincidence, and encounters with that which we believe to be impossible in the realms we call our own. Listen closely, Nightowls, these are Transmissions from the Abyss!As someone who has crisscrossed the US time and again, Ean Connelly is well aware of the weird undercurrents that run just under the surface of the cultural mainstream. From an early age it seems as though the otherworldly has been in contact with Ean through many different faces of the phenomena. From a dogman encounter at a New Jersey Boy Scout camp and a spectral disembodied head on a bookshelf in his childhood room, to a pair of glowing red eyes watching from the wood’s surrounding one of America’s most infamous battlefields and an experience with something that can only be called demonic in nature, Ean has been privy to his fair share of the strange and superbly supernatural. On this first episode of our Patreon exclusive series, we discuss all of these eerie ethereal encounters, just why Ean may be prone to these kinds of otherworldly interactions, and so much more, with the witness himself, tonight on Midnight in Kentucky’s Transmissions from the Abyss!Audio support for this episode was provided by TruckStop Dave from the upcoming Angry Small Town album.Hear the full episode and support the show on Patreon!Patreon.com/midnightinkentuckyShownotes:-MIK on Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/Midnightinkentucky-Haunting Encounters With Revolutionary Ghoulshttps://www.battlefields.org/learn/head-tilting-history/haunting-encounters-revolutionary-ghouls-Spook Light Hill - Brazil / Bridgeton Indianahttp://indianaghostdetectives.blogspot.com/2014/10/spook-light-hill-brazil-bridgeton.html-The "Ghost Light" or "Spook Light"https://www.theroute-66.com/spook-lights.html-Ransom Letter Publishing Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbSPcYF4tS4LqjMj_l0Qf2g-Ransom Letter Publishing Tee Publichttps://www.teepublic.com/user/ransom-letter-publishing-Truckstop Dave on Jamendohttps://www.jamendo.com/artist/349109/truckstopdave
