The world is more mysterious than most people are comfortable imagining. We cross paths with the mystical from time to time and may not even notice it. If we do, we quickly return to our usually mundane daily existence. But what if we not only acknowledged the unknown, we investigated it and spoke with those in the know? That's what co-hosts Scott Philbrook & Forrest Burgess, and co-executive prod... more

Loyal and longtime listener. Recently, particularly enjoyed the Amy Bruni interview! Fantastic job to you all!
Ummmmnmm I love 💗 the mothman episode 😂😂😂😂😂
As Scott fesses too, you guys do stink. Forrest needs to break away from Scott; Scott’s holding him back
While I enjoy the topics, 6 minutes of ads at the intro followed by so many throughout - it’s a bit much. None of my other podcasts (and there are many) are quite as riddled with skip-skip-skip content, which is annoying when driving (when I usually listen).
The content is great so far but over 5 mins of ads in the beginning and over 4 mins at the end. That's not ever tracking what's in the middle yet. I get you need to earn your bread but that's a little much. I'll keep listening but I'm only on ep 3. If it gets worse, I'm out

An investigative show that consistently treats the mysterious as a serious subject of study. Episodes mix listener letters, long-form deep-dives, and guest interviews to explore paranormal phenomena, folklore, haunted locations, and historical curiosities. Listeners can expect meticulous research, thoughtful skepticism, and a blend of storytelling with context from experts in paranormal history, ufology, and consciousness studies. A standout trait is the sustained, narrative-driven format that often spans multiple episodes to unpack complex legends and real-world histories while emphasizing respectful exploration over sensationalism.
