    Tales of Tinkers, Trolls and Troublemakers
    Dec 20 2024
    In this episode of Expanded Perspectives, Kyle takes the reins solo at Skelekin Studios. Don’t worry, he’s got plenty of fascinating stories to share! First, he dives into a chilling account of a Duende encounter that happened during a late-night basketball game in Mexico. Then, a listener calls in to recount a possible Bigfoot sighting in Washington state. After the break, Kyle explores the mysterious and seemingly impossible encounters people have had with gnomes, trolls, and Duendes.

    Few phenomena are as peculiar in the realm of the weird and unexplained as reports of real-life gnome sightings. These mysterious beings, complete with diminutive statures, beards, and iconic pointy hats, seem like something straight out of a fairy tale. While the idea of encountering such creatures might sound absurd—given their deep roots in mythology—numerous accounts from people across all walks of life suggest otherwise. This show will delve into fascinating stories of gnomes or duende sightings that defy explanation.

  • Death From Above

    Death From Above
    Nov 15 2024
    In this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys start the show by talking about how Kyle over-ate right before the show. Then, a giant white lizard and a Sasquatch battle each other while the witness observes the confrontation while hiking in the Washington forest near Kirkland. Next, two disembodied voices lure a person near Lake Tahoe into the woods. What was trying to trick them into the forest? If the first story wasn't crazy enough for you, two Southern Georgia hunters encounter remarkable upright cryptids at the exact location. The hunters then watch the cryptid pair fight as one kills the other!

    After the break, Cam brings up some strange cases involving livestock being mutilated for some unknown reason. The bovine corpses stunned the ranchers who found them. The animals' ears, eyes, udders, anuses, sex organs, and tongues had routinely been removed, seemingly with a sharp, clean instrument. Their carcasses had been drained of blood. No tracks or footprints were found in the immediate vicinity—nor were any of the usual opportunistic scavengers.
    Between April and October of 1975, nearly 200 cases of cattle mutilation were reported in the state of Colorado alone. Far from being mere tabloid fodder, it had become a nationally recognized issue: That year, the Colorado Associated Press voted it the state's number one story. Colorado's then-senator Floyd Haskell asked the Federal Bureau of Investigation to get involved. Theories range from Satanic Cults to Extra-Terrestrials. Finally, a group of Native American teens went camping near a sacred tribal area. While sitting by the fire, a Javelina with glowing red eyes steps out of the bushes and instantly alarms the witness!

  • Unsolved Mysteries with Lon Strickler

    Unsolved Mysteries with Lon Strickler
    Oct 30 2024
    On this eerie episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off with an update on their upcoming journey to Tennessee and the strange happenings around Skelekin Studios. But soon, things take a dark turn: a Michigan man and his daughter, driving through a torrential downpour, encounter a lone figure in the road—only to watch in horror as the man morphs into a monstrous, wolf-like creature! Next, a chilling story unfolds as a witness from Kentucky recounts a brush with an unnaturally tall, skeletal biped lurking in the shadows. Disturbed and seeking answers, he wonders: what did he encounter?

    After the break, they welcome the legendary Lon Strickler from Phantoms and Monsters. A renowned cryptid researcher and recent guest on Unsolved Mysteries, Lon shares insights into the wave of winged, Mothman-like creatures haunting North America. The conversation dives into terrifying encounters with Glimmer Man and the sinister Brown Crawlers. All this and more spine-tingling tales await in this installment of Expanded Perspectives!

  • Phantom Vehicles

    Phantom Vehicles
    Oct 25 2024
    In this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off with exciting news about their upcoming trip to Tennessee, where they’ll make their first in-person appearance on the Ducks Unlimited Podcast. They also read a listener’s email detailing a wild encounter with an enormous, upright-walking creature—described as a “Not Deer.” Next, they share a story from a Mississippi eyewitness, recounting a memorable sighting in 1972 of a glowing white creature with membranous wings—a vision that’s lingered with them ever since.

    After the break, Kyle dives into the eerie world of Phantom Vehicles. The road often has unexpected hazards—harsh weather, unpredictable conditions, and the constant risk of accidents. The atmosphere grows even more foreboding at night as headlights flicker over lane markings and shadows dart across the pavement. These natural dangers blend with an unsettling, almost supernatural quality, hinting at mysteries beyond our usual understanding of what lurks on the open road. Tales of ghostly apparitions and inexplicable events are familiar along highways, covering everything from haunted places to spectral figures and unearthly encounters that defy logic. Among these are stories of phantom-like vehicles and their mysterious drivers—seemingly otherworldly presences that vanish as quickly as they appear, evading any attempt to comprehend them fully.

  • Into The Fringe: Alien Abduction

    Into The Fringe: Alien Abduction
    Oct 18 2024
    In this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off by chatting about the warm weather and Kyle's recent experience watching the new Candyman movie, among other things. Then, they dive into a series of strange encounters, starting with a woman from Missouri who, along with her friend and brother, recalls a chilling encounter with a massive, pig-faced dog they spotted near their childhood home. Next, they explore the fascinating and unsettling story of Bruce Cornet, M.S., Ph.D., one of two witnesses allegedly abducted by unknown entities near the Massanutten Mountain ski resort in Virginia. Cornet, a long-time AOP researcher and contributor to the National Institute for Discovery Science, brings a unique perspective to the strange events that occurred that evening.

    After the break, Cam delves into haunting tales of alien abduction—stories where the line between nightmare and reality blurs. These eerie encounters raise a troubling question: What do these extraterrestrial beings want from us? While many focus on cold, clinical experiments, there seems to be a darker, more disturbing purpose behind many abductions—impregnation. And it's not just women who are subjected to these unearthly tasks; men, too, are drawn into an unimaginable role. Alien abductions, once dismissed as fantasy or hoax, may represent recovered memories—fragments of truth that are often bizarre, unsettling, and hard to believe. The challenge of distinguishing between real memories and false ones has long troubled psychiatrists and abductees alike, especially as these claims echo the controversial cases involving childhood trauma, satanic cults, and other difficult-to-prove experiences.

    Finally, Cam shares one of the wildest stories ever told on the show: a man from Rogersville, PA, recounts an extraordinary encounter he and his two brothers had with three strange 'Dogwomen.' Incredibly, one of the brothers even fed these mysterious creatures! All of this and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives!

  • Elliot Lake Creature and More

    Elliot Lake Creature and More
    Oct 11 2024
    On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the hosts kick things off by sharing their experience at the Texas State Fair. Held annually in Dallas at the historic Fair Park, the State Fair of Texas has been a beloved tradition since 1886, with only a few interruptions during World War I, World War II, and in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The fair typically runs from the last Friday in September for 24 days. Kyle then shares a story about his recent outing to the movies with his youngest son, Luke, to see the gruesome Terrifier 3. Next, they dive into some intriguing news stories. An outdoorsman and mushroom forager spots a small, bipedal humanoid wandering through the woods—something far from a typical forest animal. Then, they explore a chilling encounter in the mountains near Gatlinburg, TN, where a couple comes face-to-face with a human-sized creature that shapeshifts into a smaller entity. Later, two women driving near Hillsboro, Ohio, witness a strange, pitch-black quadruped with eerie white eyes emerging from the tall grass. After the break, a hiker in Wisconsin believes they may have encountered a "Glimmer Man" while walking on a park trail. Finally, a grandfather recounts a childhood memory of encountering several "ape-men" while panning for gold with his family near Elliot Lake, Ontario.
