Expanded PerspectivesAug 13, 2026
Hosts Cam Hale and Kyle Filson read a string of listener-submitted creature encounters, headlined by a Polish man's 1975 claim that a pale, horse-faced humanoid rose from a hole in the ground and tried to drag him under while he picked wild strawberries. The episode is packed with dogman sightings from New Mexico, Alaska, Arkansas, Texas and Florida, alongside a human-faced deer, black-eyed kids and a telepathic octopus-like being. The strangest tale may be an Ohio child's account of a stuffed Easter bunny that spoke to him, with a small spiky dinosaur-like creature hidden behind it.
