Flying Manta Ray

The Faceless Guest

Expanded PerspectivesOct 30, 2026

Hosts Cam and Kyle of Expanded Perspectives read a Halloween-week batch of listener encounter stories, ranging from a red-eyed hellhound in rural Idaho to a toad-faced goblin in a Maryland marsh. The most haunting account comes from a listener who says a faceless, seven-foot pale figure followed them from home to home for nearly a decade during an abusive childhood, then faded away once they began therapy. Along the way the hosts weigh shapeshifting Bigfoot, the cloaked 'Glimmer Man,' flying manta rays over the Ohio River Valley, and uncanny 'not-deer' that seem to be failed copies of real animals.
