NOT DEER

When the Veil Failed

Expanded PerspectivesSep 25, 2026

Hosts Cam Hale and Kyle Filson read listener-submitted encounters ranging from an antlered 'not deer' that whispered at two boys by an Oregon river to four tiny, ancient-looking humanoids dragging a dead rabbit through the Arkansas woods. A Marine describes a silent black craft over Fallujah that was visible only through night vision goggles, and another listener recalls a six-foot grasshopper-like being in a tuxedo and top hat knocking at his trailer door in 1980. The recurring theme is the moment the 'veil' slips, when witnesses see things that apparently were never meant to be seen.

The Croft State Park Encounter

Expanded PerspectivesSep 7, 2026

Cam Hale and Kyle Filson read listener encounters, led by Lewis's account of an orange orb, small gray beings and missing time at Croft State Park, South Carolina, in the 1970s. Other stories include a skinless 'flayed man' ghost in a Louisiana swamp, a giant owl-like creature that confronted three teenage runaways in Vermont in 1977, and 'not deer' sightings in Idaho and Sleepy Hollow, New York. The episode closes with a Texas family who say a La Lechuza witch-owl haunted them for seven years.

The Polish Horseman

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.
