Bonus Ep. - 15 Things You Didn't Know About Bigfoot Director Zach Lamplugh

In Hackettstown, NJ near the Musconetcong River, there have been several encounters with a large bug-like creature resembling a praying mantis. This Mantis Man is about 7 feet tall with a dark green or brown exoskeleton, a triangular head, and large, slanted black eyes. Two of the encounters were with fishermen who were in the water and they both felt that the creature was surprised that they could see it, before it disappeared into thin air. Every encounter with this creature has been in or near the water, which is odd since praying mantis insects stick to dry ground.In Iran, a unique rock carving was found of a creature with six limbs that has been described as part man, part mantis. The archeologists estimated that the carving could be anywhere between 4,000 and 40,000 years old, which suggests that ancient humans have possibly linked mantids to the supernatural since ancient times. Were these encounters a drug-induced hallucination? Or possibly, Mantis Man is an alien, with the ability to cloak itself and disappear into thin air, that even ancient humans have encountered.

Bonus Ep. - Time Travel, Lucid Dreaming, and Physics with Ian Jaydid

Over a period of two years, the Humphreys family dealt with a group of Bigfoot creatures that almost nightly would try to get into their cabin in Honobia, Oklahoma. At first it was just noises in the vicinity of their cabin that they would hear. One day they found that one of their freshly killed deer had been stolen from their outside freezer, so they cleaned out what meat was left in it and assumed that the problem had been solved. That is when they began to see the Bigfoot creatures on their porch, jiggling the doorknob and tapping on the windows, trying to get in. As the nights and days went on, they became more ferocious trying to get into the cabin.In January 2000, Tim Humphreys was on his porch with a few friends and when one of the creatures got close enough to the cabin, he shot at it. The Bigfoot creature ran into the woods howling, and continued to scream the rest of the night. The next day they followed a trail of blood into the woods, but were never able to find the creature that was hit. The screams and mischief continued for a few weeks before the activity stopped altogether.Why did Bigfoot attack their cabin?

Bonus Ep - UFOs, Nazis, Psychedelics, and an Expedition to the Edge of the World

On September 4, 1964, Donald Shrum went on a bow hunting trip in California with friends that turned into an adventure that he will never forget! At some point in the day, he got separated from the group because he was tracking a deer, and since it was almost dark, he decided to hunker down up in a tree and wait for first light. Right before he fell asleep, he saw a light zig-zagging in the distance and because he thought it might be a search party looking for him, he lit a flare to let them know where he was. Suddenly, the light rapidly moved towards him and he realized at this point that it was a large cigar-shaped object. Two beings and a robot appeared below him and began trying to shake him out of the tree, and even released a white gas that knocked him out. When he woke up, he was still in the tree but the beings and robot were still there trying to shake him out of the tree. This continued all night, with shaking of the tree and the white gas being emitted several times and him passing out. At dawn, after an emittance of the gas, he woke up but this time he was hanging from the tree by his belt and the entities were gone. When he finally returned to camp, he discovered that one of his friends had also seen the light the night before, but they hadn't witnessed anything else strange.Were these alien entities just trying to scare him, or were they the least competent abductors ever?

Ep. 111 - Alien Robot Attack at Cisco Grove

The Fairmont Banff Springs hotel, known as the Castle of the Rockies, is a 130+ year old resort and spa in a large castle located in Banff, Alberta, Canada. Because of a vision to bring the beauty of the Canadian Rocky Mountains to the rest of the world, William Cornelius Van Horne began construction in 1887 and officially opened on June 1, 1888. This location wasn’t just chosen for its scenic beauty, it was also by a railway and served as one of Canada’s grand railway hotels. William knew that he couldn't export the scenery, so why not import the tourists. The hotel has a few residents who've checked in throughout the years, but a few who’ve never checked out! One of the most famous entities at the hotel is the ghost bride who fell down the grand marble staircase after her wedding and broke her neck. Since then, many have seen the figure of a woman in a wedding dress walking up and down the stairs. There is also Sam the bellman that is still performing his job by helping hotel guests when they are in need. One of the more terrifying paranormal experiences occur in room 873. Legend says that a mother and child were murdered in room 873 by the father and husband, and since then people have been woken in the middle of the night in the room by screaming. Once the lights come on, there are bloody handprints on the mirror that can't be wiped off by the cleaning staff until they just disappear. Due to all the complaints, the room has been bricked up and closed off from guests. What haunts this beautiful castle in Banff?

Ep. 110 - The Haunted Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel

In September of 1931, the Irving family, James, Margaret and their 13-year-old daughter Voirrey, began hearing a persistent scratching, rustling, and animal-like noises behind the walls of their farmhouse located on the Isle of Man. It didn't take long for a creature to introduce himself as Gef, and inform them that he was an "extra extra clever" mongoose from India that was born in 1852. He soon became part of the family and would tell them if they had a guest arriving soon, would turn the fire out in the stove at night if they forgot, or even wake those that had overslept in the morning. The Irvings would put bananas, chocolates and biscuits in a saucer that was suspended from the ceiling that Gef would take when no one was looking. The story of Gef became very popular in the press, where many journalists tried to catch a glimpse of him, and in 1935, several psychic investigators and paranormal researchers investigated the case of Gef. In the end, not a single one saw or even heard Gef, which led them to believe that he was the result of a hoax perpetuated by the daughter, with the family assisting in it. There were also some who believed that Gef might be a ghost or poltergeist that was haunting the family.Join us on episode 109 to hear more about the peculiar case of Gef, the talking mongoose!

Ep. 109 - Gef the Talking Mongoose

As NASA's website says, ʻOumuamua is the first known interstellar object to visit our Solar System. It was discovered on October 19, 2017 when it was close to the sun, and is described as cigar-like shaped with a reddish hue. It is also tumbling end over end every seven hours or so. It has been classified as a comet, but it doesn't have the signature tail that comets always have, which brings many, including scientists and astrophysicists to believe there is the possibility of it being something else, even extraterrestrial in nature. 'Oumuaua is now too far away for our telescopes to see anymore but the intrigue and wonder as to what it could be, is just as strong. Is it just an asteroid or comet? Is it an artificial relic floating in to our solar system from interstellar space? Or, is it an extraterrestrial probe sent to explore us? Join us on episode 108 to hear more!

On this bonus episode, we speak with James Wosochlo, the author of "Appalachian: Schaumboch's Tavern". His book details the life and misdeeds of Matthias Schaumboch, America's unofficial first serial killer. Schaumboch owned and operated a tavern on Hawk Mountain where weary travelers would stop for the night, and because he only chose those that either travelled alone or no one would miss, he was able to get away with the murders most of his life. There were even rumors that he fed his victims to unknowing guests at his tavern. James Wosochlo grew up in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, where his love for history aided him to come across this mystery. James is the former president of the State Society for Pennsylvania Archaeology, and a founding member of Hawk Mountain Archaeology Society.

Bonus Ep. - The true story of America’s unofficial first serial killer with Author Jim Wosochlo, Jr

On January 25, 1959, a group of experienced hikers and athlete students set out on a journey into the Ural Mountains of Russia. When they missed their rendezvous date, a search party was organized to look for them. Their frozen bodies, along with unaccountable injuries, were discovered in locations that compounded the puzzle of how they died. The Dyatlov Pass mystery has spawned dozens of conspiracy theories which have endured for over 60 years. Many of the students had minor cuts and bruises, but a few of them had significant injuries to their bodies, including fractured skulls, a crushed chest, missing eyes and a missing tongue. Because of these strange injuries, many rejected the official cause of death of hypothermia. Many of the theories of the cause of their death included government conspiracy, UFO and alien intrigue, and even a murderous Yeti attacking the group, but in the end no one knows what happened to them.Join us on episode 106 as we explore the many theories of the Dyatlov Pass Incident!Sources: BBC News, The Atlantic, MuseumCenter.org, Atlas Obscura, https://dyatlovpass.ruptly.tv, https://allthatsinteresting.com/dyatlov-pass-incidentMusic featured on this episode: https://talesofthetomb.bandcamp.com/music###Follow Us:https://www.paranormalpunchers.comhttps://twitter.com/ppunchershttps://instagram.com/paranormalpunchershttps://www.facebook.com/paranormalpunchersSupport the Show:https://www.teepublic.com/stores/paranormal-punchershttps://www.patreon.com/paranormalpunchers

Bobby Mackey's Music World is a former slaughterhouse and meat-packing facility that served northwest Kentucky as well as parts of Ohio back in the 1850's. It eventually was demolished and the new building became a casino, nightclub, speakeasy, and now a music club. It is considered to be the most haunted night club in America as well as considered to be a gateway to hell. People have heard phantom footsteps, seen full body apparitions, smelled perfume, felt cold spots and had the sensation of being touched.Not only did a lot of death and murder happen in or near this location, but many believe that the area could be haunted due to the building being built on Native American burial ground.

Ep. 104 - Christmas Cryptids from Around the World

In 1762, an unusual scandal riveted the population of London: the case of the Cock Lane Ghost. The story had something for everyone. Forbidden love, money, death and the supernatural were all elements in the sad tale of “Scratching Fanny of Cock Lane.” After the death of Fanny Lynes from smallpox, her lover William Kent fell under public suspicion of murder after séances were held to determine who or what was behind the scratching noises coming from the home on Cock Lane. The one person that these noises seemed to be attached to was the young daughter, Elizabeth Parsons, of the landlord who owned the Cock Lane home, and it was determined from these sessions that Fanny had not died from smallpox, but rather arsenic poisoning that Kent had administered to her! After reading the accusations in the press, William Kent vowed to clear his name. He enlisted two of the physicians that had attended Fanny in her last days, as well as a reverend to help hold their own séances, but it wasn't until a maid revealed that she had seen the young daughter sneak out of the séance to get a small stick that the whole thing was exposed as a fraud. Elizabeth Parsons confessed that her father had made her make the scratching noises for him in retaliation of a loan disagreement between the two men.
