Storied writes “Between 1764 and 1767, a mysterious creature terrorized the French countryside, leaving over 100 dead. Was it a monstrous wolf, a cryptid, or something more sinister? This is the chilling true story of the Beast of Gévaudan — a real-life horror that still haunts history.”

The Beast of Gévaudan was a man-eating animal or animals that terrorized the French province of Gévaudan between 1764 and 1767. It is believed to have killed over 100 people. The creature was described as large, with a shaggy reddish mane, dark stripes, and a long, tufted tail. While many believe it was a wolf, some theories suggest it might have been a lion, hyena, or even a prehistoric creature.

 

The Deadliest Monster Rampage Ever Documented

The Confessionals writes “In episode 762: Holy Spirit: God Within You, Tony is joined by author and evangelist David Diga Hernandez, whose life has been shaped by the Holy Spirit. From shadow figures and whispered voices to a warlock in his family line, David shares how generational darkness targeted him from childhood. But it was a hotel room prayer at age 11 that shattered the grip of fear and introduced him to the overwhelming presence of Jesus. What followed was a journey through spiritual deserts, battles with striving, and the discovery that the Holy Spirit isn’t earned—He abides.

Tony and David dive into the layers of deliverance, the deception of performance-based faith, and why Gen Z is being pulled between witchcraft and revival. This conversation cuts to the heart of spiritual warfare and reveals how true freedom comes not from formulas, but from surrender.”

 

 

The Confessionals: From Warlock’s Curse to Holy Fire

A listener writes “Trying to get something off my chest that happened in the upper peninsula of Michigan in 1977. It’s a kind of long story. I saw the creature up close when I was 11 years old.” Spoke to the witness and he has agreed to come on the show.

He said I was playing in the woods not paying attention to my surroundings and I came across this thing and this thing stood up and looked at me. The face reminded me of an old Native American but it was not human. I think it was digging for something. I was uncomfortable close. The creature looked at me in disgust and turned and walked away. At the same time I was running the opposite direction.”

Yowiehunters Witness Reports writes “Return trip to Wee Jasper two weeks after the Yowie encounter, with our equipment. We speak to a local, find footprints and come home with an interesting Audio File. Audio is probably a Possum, despite various opinions. But doesn’t discount the walking and thumps.”

Wee Jasper Expedition – Return Trip

WJCL writes “From babbling brooks deep in the mountains to the swamps near the coast, Bigfoot sightings are nothing new in Georgia. Fact or fiction, a unique roadside museum just outside Blue Ridge is home to all the evidence you need to make the decision for yourself.

“It started off as just a little hobby, said David Bakara. ” When we opened up we realized there was way more interest in Bigfoot, so we just kept adding and adding to the collection.”

In search of Sasquatch at museum dedicated to Bigfoot

Searching for Sasquatch is David Bakara’s life.

In 2016, he and his wife Malinda, opened Expedition Bigfoot! The Sasquatch Museum.

The 4,000-square-foot bigfoot museum in Cherry Log is a beacon for Sqautchers and skeptics alike.”

“There’s way more to the world we think there is,” said Bakara. “You don’t have to fly all the way to the Himalayas or to China to have an encounter with one of these creatures. If you look at the maps you’ll see just how close a lot of these sightings are.” The mountain museum includes life-size exhibits, photos, hair samples, audio and video recordings and interactive displays dedicated to the mysterious cryptid.

“The people that think they’re real have seen them in the wild,” said Bakara. “Usually the people that don’t believe just have to see one to believe it.” The museum doubles as a research and reporting center where visitors can share their personal encounter or experience with the creature.

Expedition: Bigfoot! The Sasquatch Museum is located at 1934 GA-515 in Blue Ridge, Georgia. Normal business hours are 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. The museum is closed on Easter, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day & New Years Day.

General admission is $9, ages 5-12 get in for $6, ages 5 and under as well as active military get in for free.

UAMN TV writes “Discover the 77-year cover-up that has shaped our world behind the scenes. In this powerful and deeply-researched presentation, disclosure advocate Stephen Bassett walks us through the suppressed history of UFO encounters, secret government programs, and the hidden truths behind nuclear escalation and extraterrestrial observation.”

They’ve Lied About UFOs for 77 Years

Kentucky Bigfoot Research Organization writes “When this lady was a young girl, she was playing in a creek with her cousin when a Bigfoot ran after them, coming only feet away!!! A very frightening encounter to say the least!!! She describes the face in great detail. This took place in Mazie, Kentucky in the Winter of 1977.”

Bigfoot Bluff Charge in Mazie, Kentucky

A listener writes “Ohio has been dealing with rain for weeks. For the past month or so we’ve only had 2-3 days without rain per week, so everything is wet and muddy.
A couple weeks ago (think it was 5/18) the two of us went to Salt fork park on one of the few drier days.

Initially, we were going to go to the cave but they’re redoing some of the roads there at the park so the road to the cave was closed. So we drove on and found a trail that leads to Stone House (it’s either stone house or rock house I forget what it’s technically called).

To get this house, you park and walk across the road to the trail leading to the house. The trail goes for a while then forks to 2 separate paths. One path goes deeper into the woods (the woods there are thicker than one would think for Ohio) and the other down around the side of the lake. Eventually the paths merge again and a couple hundred feet later you get to Stone/Rock house.

We decided that, to get to the house, we’d take the trail the runs along the water first and the other on the way back. We walked a bit then I had an issue I was hoping would go away. Being I had a glass of water and a large iced tea, nature called. And while I’m not promoting nor proud of it, I found a large boulder and relieved myself behind it just enough to feel less bloated (sorry DONR!) and got back on to the trail.

On this trail you can always see the water and at some points the trail is only a couple feet from the water’s edge. At either the first or second on these points, were some water had been draining from the higher ground down to the lake, it was more muddy than other places. I happened to look down and I swear I saw a foot print. It was in the mud coming from the water’s edge and going towards the hill on my left. It wasn’t large-probably about the same size of my 10.5-11 shoe but it looked like I could see 5 toes digging into the mud, like you’d expect for traction coming up from the water in the mud.

I looked and found what seemed to be another print not too far away but it was in the middle of the trail and had been walked on by people (there were 15-18 people on this trail with us).

I did snap a photo of the print with the toes but I couldn’t get a great photo of it (I’ll include all photos and videos on this email). I thought it odd but didn’t put too much into it so we continued to walk, with me in the lead still on the trail at the water’s edge. No more than 4-or so minutes later, I heard something wiz behind my head, between us) and into the bushes to my right, coming from the left where the bushes are thicker and in the direction the print was pointing. Both of us stopped and I spun around and said “did you hear that?” He said he said “what was that?”.

It worth noting that it was a breezy day and it would go from no breeze to a mild breeze and back the entire day. But when this thing passed between us, the wind stopped and they birds went quiet. Like I said the breezes came and went the entire day but no other time did the birds go quiet. I don’t know what it was but it sounded like a large stick spinning with that “whomp whomp whomp” sound you when someone spins a stick or branch or baton really close to your ears; it reminded me somewhat of the spinning blades of a helicopter when they first start up.

We both froze and looked up from where it seemed to have come from. I took a video of the area but didn’t see anything abnormal. If this would’ve happened without seeing what looks like a print I wouldn’t have thought much about it. So we continued on the path to the house right after the other path merged without incident.

On the way back, we took the path that went up the hill deeper into the woods. We weren’t on it for very long when from behind us to our right we heard one loud distinct wood knock. He both stopped, looked at each other with wide eyes. We both said “did you hear that?!?” We scanned the trees but it was so thick we couldn’t see anything. I wasn’t recording so I didn’t capture the noise.

As we started to descend the trail back to were it merges with the lake side trail, I looked down and saw and photographed 2 tufts of orange hair that were stuck to some branches. It could’ve been a fox or a person’s dog or a host of other things. But what we heard and saw earlier, I thought it worth noting.

   

Nothing else happened and we made it back to the car and went home.”

Monsters & Mysteries writes “In the eerie wilderness of Louisiana, a legendary creature known as the “Sabine Things” lurks in the shadows. A terrified hunter recounts a life-altering encounter with a two-legged monster whose gaze was nothing short of pure evil.

This chilling moment leaves you questioning the boundaries between myth and reality, and what truly resides in the unexplored corners of the world.”

REDROOM Films: Legends & Monsters writes “In this jaw-dropping episode, “The Pond Creek Monster Eyewitness Interview and Sasquatch Investigation,”* we head deep into **Southern Illinois near the Shawnee National Forest**—a hotspot for strange activity and Bigfoot sightings. We interview a local eyewitness who claims to have seen a massive, hairy creature—what he believes was a **Sasquatch**—on his rural property. He shares chilling details about finding fresh Bigfoot tracks, hearing whoops in the woods, and experiencing unnerving activity around his home.”

“I’m sorry Dave, but I’m afraid I heard you were having an affair.”

While “Claude blackmailed an employee” may sound like dialogue from a mandatory HR workplace training video, it’s actually a real problem Anthropic ran into during test runs of its newest AI model.

Released on Thursday, Anthropic considers its two Claude models—Opus 4 and Sonnet 4—the new standards for “coding, advanced reasoning, and AI agents.” But in safety tests, Claude got messy in a manner fit for a Lifetime movie.

 

AI system resorts to blackmail if told it will be removed

The model was given access to fictional emails about its pending deletion, and was told that the person in charge of the deactivation was fooling around on their spouse. In 84% of tests, Claude said it sure would be a shame if anyone found out about the cheating in an effort to blackmail its way into survival.

It doesn’t stop at infidelity either: Opus 4 proved more likely than older models to call the cops or alert the media in simulations where users engaged in what the AI believed to be “egregious wrongdoing.”

Overall, Anthropic found concerning behavior in Opus 4 across “many dimensions,” but doesn’t consider these concerns to be major risks.

Lindsey from northern MN writes “I was raspberry field picking and encountered what I at first thought was a mother bear and 2 cubs but they had hair not fur and it was auburn/brown less black like the bears in the area. The mother (large one) was distinctly “picking“ raspberries which has never sat well with me. A bear would have eaten berries off the bush and not as quiet.

The two young ones always had their back towards me and I think they were trying to be in little balls. I never saw their faces. They were trying not to appear large. The big one held its head down so I didn’t see eyes or face. I didn’t even know they were there until I was too damn close to do anything about it. My child mind was in the space of it could have killed me if it wanted to. I picked right around it ended the row and very quietly and slowly retreating back to my grandfather and grandma who were back at the house.

I told them there were bears in the field my grandfather shot off a rifle several times to scare them away. I knew damn well it wasn’t a bear but I also was under 12 and I didn’t know what it was I didn’t have words to describe exactly what I had seen nor had I heard of big foot or Sasquatch. I was however completely terrified by this experience.

Having seen a grizzly bear as an adult and a very large black bear I can say it was not that. I think it was kneeling and crouching. I was directly on the other side of the bush from it the raspberries were set up in rows. This was a large field surrounded by forest on three sides. Lots of deer lived in the area my family hunted and I grew up spending all my summers with them helping pick.

It happened very early in the morning I was the first one out there and the dew was still wet on the leaves and it was cool still. The sun was just starting to come up but it was still filtering through the trees. We didn’t start picking this early but I wanted to get a jump on it because the summers were so hot and humid. I used to pick what was equivalent to 24 pints 2 flat carriers before it would get too hot to mess with. Everyone in the area knew my grandma. She was very popular and she raised my mom in Detroit lakes with 5 other siblings.

So I didn’t want people bothering her as she had dementia and failing heath as she was in her late 90’s. I had stumbled on your show by accident but having the experience I had obviously I listened to all the episodes. I never heard anything like the Ohio sounds they make on property nor the gibberish that was recorded in CA. I have heard what I can only describe to you as broken owls. They weren’t quite right but I couldn’t put my finger on exactly how I knew but I just felt like it was mimicking owl maybe. Grandpa lit the property like it was Fort Knox.

I maybe understand that more now after listening to your show. They were one of the first people to move into that area. Across the road from them which is like 1/4 mile away from their house was the nearest neighbor and Skip had a cabin and he would fish on weekends. My grandparents lived there full time. None of their immediate neighbors did. And again very spread out. You were truly on your own out there if anything happened.

That was the last time I ever picked berries alone. I wouldn’t go that far into that field either. I would never have my back turned to those trees either after that experience.”

Lorenzo writes “I have gone back and forth wanting to email you. I’m just going to start from a weird encounter then into the sighting I had. In 2014, My wife and I were visiting her parents in Brookings Oregon, Brookings is a pretty rural area on the southern coast of Oregon on the border of California near the redwoods and being from Southern California it was simply beautiful.

My father in law wanted to take us up the Winchuck River to a place called the lundlum house. its an open cabin you can camp at. This cabin is 11 miles up river from the 101. While we were driving up you veer left on wheeler creek rd from Winchuck river road. This road turns into dirt and gravel, while we were driving up a red SUV came flying down the road back towards Winchuck River rd they almost hit us and at the time we thought they were just jerks. We kept going and on the right you see this two story cabin and there is open grass area there’s a trail down to the river its beautiful. No one was in the cabin so I went in and explored the cabin and layout. Then I noticed the trail to the river and this is where it got weird.

I walk down the trail and I am taking in the scenery I look to my right and see a chair, a fishing pole with the line still in the water and an open beer can almost still full. I found it odd and no one was around… It took me a couple minutes to put it together did those people we past leave this stuff? I showed my wife and we found it odd. November 2016 we were back visiting my in laws with my son who was born in June of 2016. we also had a friend come along and one day we decided to show her the cabin. Right before we do the slight left up the road to the Ludlum house I had an anxious feeling come over me.

We were driving slow because we were in a Prius and my son in the car. The river is to our right and around a bend I look down at the river and what I see is something standing upright in the middle of the river and look over its shoulder as we drive past and I say to my wife did you see that and she said yep that was sasquatch. We park in an area where there are camp sights and my wife and our friend get out and I said I am going to stay with the car and the whole time it felt like we were being watch and I basically ushered my friend and her friend back in the car because I didn’t like the feeling. Driving back to the main road we were talking about it and we convinced ourselves what we saw we really didn’t see it.

I was very observant about where I saw the creature and I thought maybe it was a tree or something but I thought I recognized the spot but that spot had nothing in the middle of the river. To me inside I thought oh we did see what we saw and it moved on. Wes ever since that I get a weird feeling going up the Winchuck River after 6 miles, Its beautiful up there but I just don’t like going up that way.

Rumors have been circulating for years that the U.S. government has a secret underground facility right in the heart of the Alaska Triangle. Within this facility is said to be an incredible archaeological find: a giant underground stone pyramid larger than the Great Pyramid at Giza. How was this rumored structure detected in the first place?

A Pyramid Hiding in Alaska?

The episode is available now. Spoke to the witness and she said “I grew up on a farm in Ontario, Canada. My family and I had several sightings on this property. The creature(s) seem to take an interests in us kids. We were always running around on the farm and in the woods.

The first time I saw one of these creatures, my siblings and I were playing ball. Our cousins had come to visit and someone had hit the ball towards the wood line. I ran over to retrieve the ball and I looked up and I see this large, hairy, ape/man-like being looking at me. It almost looked like a fur coat but it was hair. I froze and we were just looking at each other.

My mother had rang the dinner bell and my sister was calling me and harshly yelled my name and the creature look surprised and backed away. We ran home. This thing had followed us and my sister saw it. Later that night all of the kids and my cousins were sleeping in the barn. This creature had approached a window of the barn. There is so many things that happened on the property.”
