My Uncle and the Werewolf

In this edition of Expanded Perspectives, Kyle and Cam dive into a whirlwind of intriguing experiences and mysterious encounters. Kicking things off, they delve into Kyle's recent adventures amidst the rainy weather, his immersive journey through a Renaissance fair, and their captivating excursion to Jacksonville, Texas. There, they crossed paths with master craftsmen Rob and JJ Lee of Bob Lee Bows, renowned for their unparalleled traditional bow craftsmanship. As the strange tales unfold, a listener shares a perplexing incident from their shower routine, where a dropped shampoo bottle seemingly defied logic by teleporting from the floor to the sink. Could this be a glitch in the fabric of time, a mere hiccup in reality? The intrigue deepens with a chilling account of a new neighbor with unsettling obsidian eyes, whose transformation defies comprehension, sending shivers down the spine. After the break, Cam navigates the murky waters of aquatic cryptids, exploring sightings of elusive water-dwelling creatures. From the depths of marine ecosystems to the serene expanses of freshwater habitats, these enigmatic beings blur the line between myth and reality. Delving into the realm where land meets water, they uncover the captivating world of amphibious anomalies. An aquatic cryptid is a creature, either vertebrate or invertebrate, that lives in water for most or all of its life. It may breathe air or extract its oxygen from the water dissolved in it through specialized organs called gills or directly through its skin. Natural environments and the animals that live in them can be categorized as aquatic (water) or terrestrial (land). Amphibians are animals that move readily from water to land and vice versa. The term aquatic can be applied to cryptids living in freshwater (freshwater animals) or saltwater (marine animals). However, the adjective marine is most commonly used for animals that live in saltwater. Join Kyle and Cam on a journey through the uncharted territories of the unexplained, where each twist and turn reveals a new layer of mystery waiting to be unraveled.  All of this and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives!

In this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys start the show by talking about surviving the Solar Eclipse here in North Central Texas. Then, witness Kathy Rotundo, who, back in the early 70s, while driving back to Cleveland from Chicago during daylight hours, saw five intensely bright orbs the size of moons flashing and bouncing all over the sky. She reported that while on the beach in southwest Florida, she encountered two quite unusual beings that she "knew" were from "off-world." Standing only about six or eight feet from her were a man and woman who looked to be about 70 years of age and were in full-body suits. Their faces resembled hairless cats! Next, Then, a listener writes in with a strange encounter with what they believe was a little man from the Fae realm. After the break, Kyle brings up the horrific tale of a heinous child murderer simply known as Mr. Cruel. An unknown man – known as 'Mr. Cruel' – committed a series of appalling crimes that terrorized Melbourne, Australia, in the late 1980's. He is responsible for the abduction and sexual assault of three girls between the ages of 10 and 13 and the murder of a 13-year-old girl in 1991. He committed his crimes wearing a black ski mask, meaning none of his victims could provide an identifiable description of his face. Law enforcement's only likeness of Mr. Cruel is a terrifying police sketch depicting his mask. From 1987 to 1991, Mr. Cruel terrorized Melbourne's quiet, suburban areas. On multiple occasions, he took victims from their homes to an unknown location where he sexually assaulted them before dropping them off in other suburban areas to be found and returned to their families. The perpetrator is known as Mr. Cruel because of the meticulous planning of his attacks and his tendency to trick the parents of victims by pretending his only motive was to rob them before kidnapping their children. He also planted red herrings at crime scenes to investigators. To this day, Mr. Cruel remains unidentified. All of this and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives!

In this episode of Expanded Perspectives, we delve into the strange and eerie occurrences that defy rational explanation. Join us as we explore tales that blur the lines between the ordinary and the supernatural, leaving us questioning the nature of reality itself. From encounters with mythical creatures to inexplicable brushes with the unknown. First, we delve into the account of an Eastern European witness who suspects they may have crossed paths with a genuine vampire. Attendees at a late-night gathering grapple with the chilling possibility of encountering a creature straight out of legend. Following that, a woman from New Jersey shares a harrowing tale of encountering an entity resembling the Easter Bunny. What sinister motives lay behind this bizarre apparition? Was it a mere figment of the imagination or something far more sinister? Later, a woman from Alabama recounts a perplexing experience within her home, hinting at a possible encounter with the elusive Fae. Join us as we explore the boundary between folklore and reality, seeking answers to the inexplicable mysteries that haunt our world. After the break, Cam brings up the strange UFO case in Australia. The Westall Flying Saucer incident represents one of the best, perhaps the best, of the category of UFO sightings described as daylight, mass-witness, school-based sightings, and landings. And it all happened in Westall, in what was then the City of Oakleigh, which is now the City of Kingston. The Westall Flying Saucer incident, occurring on April 6, 1966, in what is now the City of Kingston, Melbourne, remains one of the most notable UFO sightings. During a Physical Education class, students and teachers observed a silver/white metallic object resembling an upside-down bowl flying low over the school's playing field. It caused panic among the students. Another group of students witnessed one or possibly two similar objects in the sky. Despite the presence of five small planes that attempted to approach the craft, it exhibited remarkable agility, flitting away whenever they neared. Eventually, the saucer disappeared behind a copse of pine trees. Roughly 300 students congregated on the field, with some venturing towards the site where the saucer seemed to have landed. Witnesses include former students, teachers, and locals, but the full story remains mysterious, awaiting further disclosure from those involved.

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys start the show by talking about the wild and crazy storms they have been experiencing recently in central North Texas. They live right in the middle of Tornado Alley, and large storms are nothing that unusual at this time of year. Then, they get right into some Expanded Perspectives News, starting with a Worcester County, Massachusetts, couple who was driving on Route 20 late one night when they encountered a pair of tall, upright deer-headed animals with black hair and wolf-like legs. Next, a Michigan man recalls his grandpa's dogman encounter stories while he was working for the Forest Service in Manistee National Forest in 1949 when he was only 28 years old. Three massive dogs covered in long black hair were up against his neighbor's house, scratching at the siding and making visible claw marks with each swipe. After the break, Kyle presents some remarkable instances of reincarnation recounted by small children. Often, these children's statements vividly align with the lives and deaths of individuals who have passed away. Remarkably, some children even bear birthmarks or birth defects that mirror wounds or marks of the deceased, a fact corroborated by postmortem reports. Although older children may maintain these memories, they tend to diminish around the age of seven. These intriguing cases span the globe, with examples found in Europe and North America. Typically, children begin discussing their past lives around the age of 35 months, coinciding with their third birthday. As their verbal abilities develop, they may recount events from their previous existence or describe their former family members. Surprisingly, seventy-five percent of these children mention the circumstances of their previous death, with a significant majority—70%—involving unnatural means such as murder, suicide, or accidents in combat. From these findings, it's apparent that past life memories often stem from traumatic experiences. Children tend to divulge these details when they feel secure and at ease. As one expert notes, "The child has to be in the right frame of mind to talk about these things; it's usually during relaxed times, sometimes after a bath or during a car ride. Although past life memories are frequently associated with trauma, they typically fade by the time the child reaches six or seven years old.

Kyle's recent endeavor to assist his mother-in-law's relocation has left him achingly sore from the strenuous lifting.

Following their initial banter, they dive into a series of captivating news pieces featuring a chilling account of a Horned Werewolf encounter in the United Kingdom's Gloucestershire region. A riveting listener submission recounts a spine-tingling episode of sleep paralysis intertwined with an eerie presence in the room.

In this installment of Expanded Perspectives, the guys start the show by talking about the beautiful weather in north central Texas and how Kyle has been spending all of this time moving existing Elite shows from the prior platform to the new Patreon page. Up first, a person who worked for the U.S. Army Criminal Investigations (CID) before and during the conflicts in the war in Iraq had a bizarre encounter with something the locals called "The Goul." Then, a listener writes into the show about a strange experience she had with her mother with a cell phone that messaged and called her from her mother's dream. Next, A Wisconsin National Guardsman stationed at Ft.McCoy has a frightening encounter with an unknown tall, skinny being during a night operation. What was it? After the intermission, Kyle broaches the topic of a peculiar occurrence known as Geographic Psychic Trauma (GPT). This phenomenon refers to the residual energy imprint left on an object or location following a distressing or traumatic incident. It is theorized to manifest when the departure of the soul or spirit from the body happens so abruptly that any associated consciousness becomes disoriented, unable to comprehend the events or its surroundings. What distinguishes GPT hauntings from residual ones is their ability to engage with the living and exhibit a degree of awareness, whereas residual energy hauntings typically lack such responsiveness. It's important to clarify that not all traumatic events lead to GPT or residual hauntings, and hauntings, in general, can stem from various causes. Another term used to describe a spirit experiencing Geographic Psychic Trauma is "Crisis Apparition." Paranormal researchers classify Crisis Apparitions as the spirits of individuals who passed away during moments of crisis, such as murders or other traumatic events.

Greetings everyone, We would like to take a moment to provide some insights into the current status of Expanded Perspectives Elite. Firstly, a heartfelt thank you to our Elite members for their unwavering support. While we offer Expanded Perspectives for free listening, the production itself comes with significant costs, and your support has been invaluable. We initiated Expanded Perspectives nearly 11 years ago, and Expanded Perspective Elite came into existence almost 9 years ago. The podcasting landscape has undergone substantial changes since then, evolving from a novel concept to a platform with millions of shows worldwide. Nine years ago, finding services to conceal exclusive RSS feeds for paying members was a challenge. Though options like WishList Member, MemberMouse, and Patreon existed, they were not as refined as they are today. Initially, we chose WishList Member based on positive feedback from fellow podcasters. While it served its purpose reasonably well initially, over time, the platform deteriorated. Issues such as missing episodes, loading problems, and cumbersome sign-up processes became apparent. Recognizing these challenges, and with the platform nearly broken in the last 24 months, we decided to transition to Patreon. Our Patreon page is now live at patreon.com/expandedperspectiveselite, or you can find us on the Patreon app. For existing Expanded Perspectives Elite members, you should have access to the entire back catalog, but we recommend downloading it soon as it will be taken down at some point. If you're not an Elite member but wish to be, visit our Patreon page and sign up for $5 a month to access the complete back catalog (note that this offer will change in the next month). Looking ahead, Expanded Perspectives Elite will have two tiers. Tier #1, priced at $5 a month, provides access to all Elite shows from 2022 to the present, including new episodes released every Friday. Tier #2, at $10 a month, offers all new episodes, the entire back catalog, and ad-free versions of the Regular Show every Wednesday. If you enjoy Expanded Perspectives and want to support the show, joining Elite is a fantastic way to do so. Your monthly donation goes towards covering expenses like data storage, editing software, music, sound effects, recording equipment, and research materials. Some episodes are still being added to our Patreon, and we appreciate your patience during this transition. We hope to see you all on Patreon soon. Thank you for your time, and God Bless.

Welcome to another episode of Expanded Perspectives! In today's show, Kyle kicks things off by sharing his frustration with last-minute science projects, a familiar tale for any parent. Meanwhile, the boys steer clear of the wildfires blazing across the Texas panhandle. As the narrative unfolds, a Montana resident's peaceful mountain abode is disrupted by horrifying screams, leading to a bizarre encounter with a pale humanoid boasting enormous black eyes. Meanwhile, in Bucks County, PA, a resident's routine nighttime check on his dog takes an unexpected turn when he confronts a towering 9-foot-tall upright canine, reportedly documented in a police report. In a twist from central Florida, a woman recounts her unsettling encounter with a dark 7-foot tall 'Owlman' while patrolling her property near a conservation area. The suspense lingers as she remains vigilant, anticipating a possible reappearance. After the break, Cam delves into mysterious encounters with a creature dubbed the Owlman, also known as the Cornish Owlman or the Owlman of Mawnan. Initially considered a cryptid, it's later revealed as a therianthrope, specifically a wereavian. The Owlman's human origins remain elusive, shrouded in mystery, echoing the tale of Vivienne de Tabris from Toussaint, cursed by an unknown creature, resulting in her unborn daughter taking the form of a humanoid oriole on full moon nights. Could the Owlman's story share a similar mysterious origin? That remains undisclosed. If this had been the only sighting of this strange creature it could have been put it down to overactive imaginations. But it was only the first of several appearances of the half man and half bird which became known as the Owlman. Avian humanoid hybrids are common in folklore all across the world. They can be found in Egyptian, Hindu, Greek and Japanese cultures amongst many others. Tune in for all this and more on this captivating installment of Expanded Perspectives!

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys start the show off by talking about their recent trip to Colorado and how much more it was not taking the kids along. Then, a person writes the show about a crazy coincidence that happened a few years ago. Next, a wild encounter with a creepy white Not-Deer in Kentucky. If that wasn't strange enough, a person writes in with not one but two trash bag Duende sightings separated by years—finally, an bizarre sighting of a hideous Gnome.

Beneath the vast skies of Mexico and the southwestern U.S., tales of mysterious aerial encounters have etched themselves into local folklore and global myth. One event stands out, wrapped in layers of intrigue and whispers of cover-ups: the enigmatic Coyame UFO crash near the U.S.-Mexico border in 1974 All of this and more in this installment of Expanded Perspectives!
