Something Else Hunts Here

Expanded PerspectivesOct 19, 2026

Hosts Cam and Kyle share a batch of listener stories, most of them set in the outdoors, that suggest something unseen is watching hunters, campers, and families. The accounts include a Hmong hunter who lost three days in a Minnesota deer stand, a screaming crawler-like figure in Kansas, the blurry Glimmer Man returning to one man decades later, and a giant glowing worm floating through the Idaho timber. Along the way they cover shadow people, the Hat Man, a tall white being that slept in a child's barn, and a Wendigo-like creature that spoke perfect English.
