The Worst Shark Attack in History, the USS Indianapolis Disaster - Part 2: The Ordeal

In this deeply moving Blurry Creatures episode, we sit down with Angela Scafidi, a former astrologer, tarot reader, Reiki practitioner, yoga teacher, and New Age influencer who now shares her story through a Biblical lens. Angela takes us on her journey—from dabbling in occult practices and spiritualism in hopes of comfort and identity, to a moment of raw surrender on her kitchen floor when she cried out, “Jesus, save me,” and experienced a supernatural breakthrough that changed everything  She recounts how what felt like spiritual growth—astrology, crystals, spirit guides, tarot, and meditation—was deception, pointing to what she now understands as counterfeit spirituality tethered to familiar and demonic spirits.

In candid, thought‑provoking conversation, Angela dives into the “spirit of religion”—the spirit of legalism and dogma that can grip churches and undermine genuine intimacy with God—and contrasts it with the true freedom found in Jesus Christ. She explains how different spiritual entities are portrayed in Scripture, from the Holy Spirit to religious spirits, familiar spirits, and demonic deceptions that masquerade as divine guidance. Through her testimony, Angela offers compassion and clarity for anyone wrestling with New Age beliefs or lingering spiritual confusion. She calls listeners into a life grounded not in shifting beliefs or subjective truths, but in the objective, liberating truth of Christ.

Tonight’s first guest, Dallas, had both of his Bigfoot sightings at Strawberry Reservoir, in Northern Utah. He was 15, at the time and had gone to Strawberry Reservoir for a camping trip with his mom, his uncle, and his 7-month-old nephew.

We hope you’ll listen to him share the details of what happened that night as well as the details of his second sighting.Tonight’s second guest, Gabe Rassi, is a Sasquatch researcher who is based in Indiana. Gabe focuses on sightings and encounters that have happened in Indiana but Indiana isn’t the only place where he’s had sightings of his own. He’s had sightings in Georgia too. On tonight’s show, not only is he going to talk about the sightings he’s had in both of those states, he’s going to talk about sightings he’s investigated too.

The Sasquatch of Strawberry Reservoir - My Bigfoot Sighting Episode 185

What happens when a five-year-old girl is lured into the forest by a rainbow-colored portal — and the creature waiting inside isn’t what anyone expected? In this emotional and terrifying episode, we speak with Leah from Minnesota, who shares her lifelong journey of encounters with beings from beyond — including a telepathic Sasquatch who once tried to take her. Leah’s story unfolds across decades of strange happenings: wood knocks in Grand Rapids, invisible stumps that move through the trees, terrifying “rake” creatures, and Sasquatch marbles left on her stairs. Along the way, she explores the dark split between surface-dwelling Sasquatch and what she calls “the bad Sesqua” from underground — and why not every voice in the woods should be trusted. You’ll hear encounters from Minnesota, Colorado, and beyond, as well as warnings about what might really be behind the voices calling you into the dark. A gripping, raw episode that challenges what you think you know about Bigfoot — and the unseen world around us.🗣️ Share Your StoryHad a Bigfoot encounter or strange experience?Send it to bigfootsociety@gmail.com – your story might be featured on the show!🎥 Watch &amp; Subscribe on YouTube🔴 Subscribe here → Bigfoot Society YouTube💬 Leave a comment &amp; let us know your thoughts!📞 Leave a voicemail with your story → Speakpipe (Use multiple voicemails if needed)👥 Share this episode → Watch &amp; Share🎧 More episodes → Podcast Playlist🌲 Recommended: New Jersey Bigfoot Encounters💥 Support the Show &amp; Get Perks✅ Join the community on Patreon – Become a Member✅ Listen ad-free &amp; early on YouTube – Join Here📱 Let’s ConnectInstagram: @bigfootsocietyTwitter: @bigfoot_societyTikTok: @bigfoot.society🧰 Tools &amp; Partners I Use (Affiliate Links)These help support the show at no extra cost to you:Beam (Better Sleep): Try BeamWildgrain (Better Bread): Join HereSeed (Probiotics): Get SeedMedi-Share (Healthcare): Learn MoreLMNT (Electrolytes) Free Sample Pack with your first purchase! : Get LMNTOrganic and non-GMO groceries delivered for less<br...

Dying patients often profess to see deceased loved ones around them in the days and weeks before they pass. So often that hospice care doctor Chris Kerr decided to make a scientific study of the phenomenon. He found that while the medical community typically views death as defeat, there is actually a great deal of spiritual growth right there at the end of life. This podcast episode invites you to reconsider these unique dreams before dying. 

Guest: Christopher Kerr, MD, PhD, CEO & Chief Medical Officer at Hospice & Palliative Care Buffalo, and author of "Death Is But a Dream: Finding Hope and Meaning at Life's End"

What happens when a spiritually sensitive musician follows the whispers of his ancestors into the forests of Coos County — and ends up face-to-face with something pacing on a rock, staring down a fishing boat?In this riveting and emotional episode of Bigfoot Society, Jeremiah Byron sits down with Chris — a gifted storyteller from the Oregon coast — who shares decades of mind-bending encounters with what he calls the “Hairy Folk.” From an ocean-bound Sasquatch pacing in front of a breaching whale to haunting dreams, glowing red eyes, stick signs, and psychic messages, this episode explores a side of Bigfoot rarely talked about… but deeply felt.You’ll hear firsthand stories from Russian River, Stanislaus River, Willow Creek, Coquille, and more — including unexplained tree breaks, vocalizations that sound like human calls, and gifts left in the forest that predicted future relationships. More than just a chronicle of encounters, this is a look into how Bigfoot connects across spirit, land, and bloodline — and how one man’s family legacy may have called him back into the mystery.Resources:Pulse Pace music video referenced: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1J6EI7Om1-0🗣️ Share Your StoryHad a Bigfoot encounter or strange experience?Send it to bigfootsociety@gmail.com – your story might be featured on the show!🎥 Watch &amp; Subscribe on YouTube🔴 Subscribe here → Bigfoot Society YouTube💬 Leave a comment &amp; let us know your thoughts!📞 Leave a voicemail with your story → Speakpipe (Use multiple voicemails if needed)👥 Share this episode → Watch &amp; Share🎧 More episodes → Podcast Playlist🌲 Recommended: New Jersey Bigfoot Encounters💥 Support the Show &amp; Get Perks✅ Join the community on Patreon – Become a Member✅ Listen ad-free &amp; early on YouTube – Join Here📱 Let’s ConnectInstagram: @bigfootsocietyTwitter: @bigfoot_societyTikTok: @bigfoot.society🧰 Tools &amp; Partners I Use (Affiliate Links)These help support the show at no extra cost to you:Beam (Better Sleep): Try BeamWildgrain (Better Bread): Join HereSeed (Probiotics): Get SeedMedi-Share (Healthcare): <a href="https://bit.ly/4iHULko" target="_blank"...

In the season finale of The Nature Of, award-winning photographer and filmmaker Ami Vitale joins Willow for a powerful and emotional conversation about witnessing extinction and choosing hope, drawing on her extensive career photographing the most critical conservation stories of our time. Ami takes Willow through her decades-long journey from documenting human conflict to the lives of endangered species—including the final days of Sudan, the last male Northern white rhino—and the people working to protect them. Together, they reflect on what it means to tell stories with reverence, how we find our humanity through connection with the more-than-human world, and why love—not loss—is at the heart of conservation.Podcast production by Magnificent NoiseSeries photography by Camila FalquezEpisode photography by Ami VitaleExecutive Producers: Willow Defebaugh, Theresa Perez, Jake SargentSpecial thanks to Karen Gray, Jasmine Hardy, Tessa Forrest, Ásta Þrastardóttir, Jonas Woost, Kattie Laur

Gippsland Phantom Cat S.7 Ep.44

What happens when a lifelong Connecticut resident starts noticing strange voices, broken trees, and something watching from the woods — all just feet from his suburban home? In this chilling and thought-provoking episode, we sit down with JJ Messenger, a witness from Barkhamsted, Connecticut, whose story begins with a mother seeing glowing eyes at the window… and escalates into unexplained gifts, roof footsteps, and strange voices recorded deep in People’s State Forest. JJ shares his years-long journey documenting the unknown — and how it all connects to a mysterious local history of “wild men” dating back to the 1800s. You'll hear stories from Winstead, Colbrook, and the heavily guarded Barkhamsted Reservoir — and a firsthand account of the day something peeked up from behind a log... and blinked. Is it Bigfoot? Is it something more? This episode dives deep into audio evidence, potential paranormal overlap, and the spiritual theories behind these elusive beings. A must-listen for believers, skeptics, and anyone who's ever wondered what's really out there in the woods.Resources:JJ's Youtube channel - https://www.youtube.com/@winstedwildmanresearchReferenced book - The One Who Runs and Hides by Chris Merola - https://amzn.to/3UexcW7 (Amazon affiliate link helps support the podcast)🗣️ Share Your StoryHad a Bigfoot encounter or strange experience?Send it to bigfootsociety@gmail.com – your story might be featured on the show!🎥 Watch &amp; Subscribe on YouTube🔴 Subscribe here → Bigfoot Society YouTube💬 Leave a comment &amp; let us know your thoughts!📞 Leave a voicemail with your story → Speakpipe (Use multiple voicemails if needed)👥 Share this episode → Watch &amp; Share🎧 More episodes → Podcast Playlist🌲 Recommended: New Jersey Bigfoot Encounters💥 Support the Show &amp; Get Perks✅ Join the community on Patreon – Become a Member✅ Listen ad-free &amp; early on YouTube – Join Here📱 Let’s ConnectInstagram: @bigfootsocietyTwitter: @bigfoot_societyTikTok: @bigfoot.society🧰 Tools &amp; Partners I Use (Affiliate Links)These help support the show at no extra cost to you:Beam (Better Sleep): Try BeamWildgrain (Better Bread): Join HereSeed...
