The Hollow Man

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off with some chatter about the rare cool weather in Texas and the fast-approaching deer season. Kyle makes it clear he’s no fan of gourds, while both of their schedules are packed—live speaking events, filming with Ducks Unlimited, and their new Glimmer Man book now in the editor’s hands. After a quick PSA on how to pick the perfect alias (hint: two first names will do), they dive into a set of wild stories—including one involving what a witness calls The Hollow Man. Was it a spirit, a ghost, the Glimmer Man, or something entirely different? All that and more in this episode of Expanded Perspectives. Sporsors: Anthropic: Ready to tackle bigger problems?

Then, the story takes a strange turn with a witness who saw a hairy creature with a ghostly white face crawling on all fours. And finally, they explore a wave of unsettling reports of flying humanoids around the Chicago area—what are these beings, and what could they mean?

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, Kyle flies solo in Skelekin Studios. He kicks things off with exciting news — the long-awaited Glimmer Man book is finished, sent to the editors, and on track for release soon. Then, Kyle revisits one of the most famous UFO encounters in history: the 1961 abduction of Betty and Barney Hill. Driving home late one September night, the couple spotted a strange light in the sky. What began as curiosity quickly spiraled into terror — the object followed them, hovered low, and revealed figures watching from inside. Moments later, the Hills heard an unsettling series of buzzing sounds, and their memories fractured. By the time they reached home, two hours had vanished without explanation. In the days that followed, physical evidence and disturbing dreams deepened the mystery: torn clothing, scuffed shoes, magnetic anomalies on their car, and vivid visions of being taken aboard a craft. Under hypnosis, both Betty and Barney described nearly identical experiences of medical examinations and encounters with non-human beings. Were their memories the product of suggestion, stress, or sleep paralysis? Or did the Hills truly become the first widely publicized abductees in modern UFO history? Their story continues to spark debate, making it one of the most enduring cases of all time. All that and more on this episode of Expanded Perspectives!

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, Kyle kicks things off with a recap of his trip to BloomVerse and shares what’s coming up with PlantCon and the Ducks Unlimited Expo. Then things get weird: someone spots a small reptilian humanoid crawling through a rock pile, and a listener reports repeated encounters with an unnaturally long snake—most recently just last year. After the break, the guys check in remotely from Area 52 with their friend and fellow hunter David, who shares some wild and unbelievable stories from the field.

In this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off by catching up on where they've been the past couple of weeks. Then it's straight into the strange: reports of flying humanoids, a possible real-life Merman spotted in a bay, and something eerily similar to the Creature from the Black Lagoon. After the break, Cam dives into a series of unsettling encounters that seem to happen near rivers—places that just feel... off. All that and more weirdness on this edition of Expanded Perspectives.

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off with an update on Kyle’s thriving garden and the new UV filter he’s installed to protect it. After that, they dive into a series of strange sightings and conduct a fascinating interview from an undisclosed location with a fellow hunter and longtime friend. He shares a chilling account involving his neighbor’s eerie encounter with dead cattle, strange black helicopters, and reported UFO's in and around the area.  Cattle mutilations are a chilling and puzzling phenomenon that has been reported across the globe, predominantly in the United States, since at least the 1960s. These incidents typically involve the unexplained and precise removal of organs, blood, or flesh from livestock—often under circumstances that defy logical explanation. Organs such as eyes, tongues, ears, and reproductive organs are removed with cuts so clean they appear to have been made with surgical instruments or lasers. Skeptics argue this could be the work of skilled humans, but no definitive evidence points to human perpetrators. Victims are often entirely drained of blood, a fact that mystifies veterinarians and investigators. Even the immediate area around the body frequently lacks blood or signs of struggle. Typical predators leave behind jagged wounds and drag marks. In mutilation cases, predators rarely touch the carcasses, adding to the mystery. For ranchers, these incidents are not just unsettling but financially devastating. Beyond the economic loss, the unexplained nature of the phenomenon fuels fear and mistrust in affected communities. Investigators, including law enforcement and paranormal researchers, continue to grapple with these cases, which often remain unsolved. Cattle mutilations remain one of the most enduring enigmas of modern times, blending elements of mystery, science fiction, and real-world consequences. Whether the work of natural forces, secretive human groups, or entities beyond our understanding, these cases challenge our perception of what’s possible—and what’s lurking just out of sight.

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off by recapping the recent hailstorm that wreaked havoc in their area—destroying all three of Kyle’s vehicles, damaging Cam’s ride, and wiping out nearly half of Kyle’s garden. Ouch. Then, they dive into a bizarre listener submission from Kentucky involving a strange entity—just a head, arms, and torso—caught in the act of devouring all his cabbages. After the break, Kyle shares some chilling new encounters with the infamous Black-Eyed Kids. These eerie stories follow a familiar and unsettling pattern: pale children with pitch-black eyes appear at homes or vehicles, knock politely, and insist on being let inside. Those who encounter them often report an immediate and overwhelming sense of dread. While the children typically appear normal—aside from their unnerving eyes—some accounts mention outdated clothing and even talon-like feet. Theories about their origin range from extraterrestrial visitors and demonic entities to something far stranger. Some believe these beings are emissaries of the devil himself, and that inviting them in allows something truly evil to cross your threshold. Though some say the legend dates back to the 1980s, most trace its roots to 1996, when Texas journalist Brian Bethel published his own terrifying encounter with these sinister children. All this and more on this spine-tingling installment of Expanded Perspectives!

In this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off by chatting about the recent thunderstorms in the area, but a sudden lightning strike disrupts the recording, forcing Kyle to finish the ads from his truck.

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off with a chat about the recent thunderous weather sweeping through town and Kyle’s garden, which looks ready to burst into life at any moment. But the calm ends there. Soon, they dive headfirst into a series of bizarre and unsettling encounters—starting with a terrifying goblin-like figure that manifested in a woman’s living room, followed by a massive, hair-covered humanoid with glowing white eyes that reportedly crossed a lonely highway near Ft. Irwin, California. And that’s just the beginning... After the break, Cam unravels one of the strangest unsolved incidents of World War II—the chilling tale of the Ghost Blimp of 1942. On the morning of August 16th, in the normally uneventful suburb of Daly City, California, something unexplainable pierced the sky. Around 11:30 a.m., a Navy blimp—silent and sagging—drifted low over rooftops, its movements strange and unnatural. Without warning, it descended, brushing against a house on Bellevue Avenue before gliding onward like a lost soul, finally becoming ensnared in a web of power lines. Sparks erupted, electricity danced violently through the air, and the massive airship collapsed in a heap of twisted metal and torn fabric. Engines smashed into the pavement. Propellers bent like soft wire. Gasoline spilled into the streets. Residents ran toward the chaos, drawn by curiosity, fear, or both. Police and fire crews rushed to intervene, pushing back the growing crowd and preparing to rescue the blimp’s crew. But there were no men aboard. Not a soul. The gondola was eerily empty. The doors were sealed. The parachutes were untouched. The Ghost Blimp had returned... without its pilots. All of this and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives!
