PENNSYLVANIA: CREEPY & MYSTERIOUS COMMONWEALTH | Join Us - LIVE CHAT | Q&A (CHILLING PAST & PRESENT)
Tonight, we turn our attention to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania—a land steeped in rich history, rolling forests, ancient mountains, and a long legacy of inexplicable encounters. From the shadowy hollows of the Appalachian spine to the mist-laden valleys of the Susquehanna, Pennsylvania pulses with strange energy. This is a state where the past never truly dies... and something else watches from the tree line.
For decades, eyewitnesses have come forward with chilling tales of upright canines stalking wooded backroads, winged humanoids gliding silently over towns, and elusive primate-like figures—what many call Bigfoot—haunting the dense woodlands. These cryptids have become woven into the folklore and fear of the region, yet their presence remains as real as the trembling voice of a witness who knows what they saw.
But the strangeness doesn’t end there. Pennsylvania is also home to some of the most notorious hauntings on record—from restless spirits in colonial graveyards to malevolent forces lurking in old mining towns and forgotten asylums. The line between myth and memory blurs when homes become battlegrounds for the paranormal, and entire communities are affected by a presence they cannot name, let alone explain.
Then there are the skies: glowing orbs, structured craft, and unearthly lights that confound radar and reason alike. Reports of UFOs and alien encounters are frequent. An example is the Kecksburg Incident, where a fiery object once fell from the heavens and was quickly cloaked in secrecy. For many Pennsylvanians, the extraterrestrial is not just science fiction—it is part of their lived experience.
As we delve into these accounts tonight, we invite you to listen closely—not just with your ears, but with your instincts. Whether you’re a believer, a skeptic, or someone who has had your own unexplained experience, Phantoms & Monsters Radio brings you into the fold. Because here in Pennsylvania, the strange is not a rarity—it’s a constant whisper in the dark.

5:48
the presentation now this first witness report the
5:54
witness states I was about 10 years old and it was my first year living in rural
5:59
Pennsylvania my family and I were playing in the woods behind her house my
6:04
f excuse me my friend and I were playing in the woods behind her house we were pretty deep into the forest exploring
6:11
and playing pretend near a small creek i'll never forget when out of nowhere we
6:18
began to hear a woman's melodic voice singing in the woods it didn't seem to
6:23
be coming from any one direction and it was quite at first slowly creeping up to this very loud haunting song ringing
6:30
through the trees filling every inch of the woods we looked at one another
6:35
terrified and started to run as fast as we could out of the forest and back to her house
6:41
the best thing that I can think of is to compare it to the song from Sleeping Beauty that plays in the background as
6:48
Maleficent leads a roar to the spindle there were no words to the singing we
6:56
heard it was a high-pitched melodic sound it was an incredibly beautiful voice but something about the tone and
7:03
melody chilled me to the core i don't know for sure who or what was the voice of this the source of this voice but I'm
7:10
certain it was not of this world a high-pitched beautiful haunting and incredibly horrifying female female
7:17
singing voice rang through the trees and seemed to fill the forest
7:22
it wasn't words or any kind of language more like a melody it's hard to explain
7:28
it just felt fadelike it's so hard to explain but why why but it was so
7:36
otherworldly beautiful but terrifying i believe in fairies 100%
7:42
but take care great care not to offend them i think some want to help humanity
7:48
become better caretakers of the earth while some hate us for the damage we've done while others are ambivalent
7:58
now in this next account the witness states "Since the beginning of the pandemic to now I've been working as a
8:05
travel paramedic across the country i've worked everywhere from New York City to
8:10
LA and Native American reservations in South Dakota during my travels I've seen some eerie
8:17
things and have had strange encounters a lot of the high strangest occurred in Pennsylvania of all places
8:24
pennsylvania was my my first travel job during the pandemic typically I was in a
8:30
new city in a new in a new hotel every week i've been all over the state typically driving 100 to 300 miles a day
8:37
through winding mountain roads pennsylvania can be a strange place at night especially with the lack of street
8:44
lighting on many roads on one occasion while driving down a back road through central Pennsylvania a
8:51
giant dog hopped the guard rail and ran in front of my truck
8:56
it looked like a husky coyote but bigger than any dog or coyote could ever be on
9:01
all fours its head was on the hood of my trunk excuse me on all fours its head
9:08
was as high as the hood of my truck a 2020 Dodge 2500 the hood of the truck
9:14
is six feet from the ground it made prolonged eye contact with me with sharp piercing yellow eyes as it crossed the
9:21
road and continued into the woods now flash forward a few months i'm in
9:27
the Philadelphia area the area my hotel occupied is newly developed so the parking lot of the hotel is well lit but
9:34
the surrounding area is wooded and dark i'm often awake until early morning
9:40
hours and keep my blinds open the other night I was looking out the window and
9:45
saw an odd white shape in the parking lot it was featureless from what I could
9:50
tell kind of a like a blob with thick short legs i was so shocked I did a
9:55
double take and then it was gone a few nights later I was lying in bed
10:01
watching TV window open blinds up i heard this odd noise the only way I can describe it is
10:08
sounding like a baby's cry but muffled and raspy and it sounded like it was being carried off away or carried away
10:16
as if the strong gust of wind was blowing it out of earshot but I've never heard a sound like that i
10:23
thought maybe a fox or some other kind of animal but it was way too close to human and just not human enough to be
10:29
written off as such could this have possibly been a crawler
10:34
well it could have been but then again his description in Pennsylvania is isn't anything new that I haven't been told
10:41
before and have experienced before
10:47
in February this next witness states "In February 2019 we had an unseasonably warm week so I decided to head to the
10:54
mountains in central Pennsylvania one night after work for a short backpacking trip this was near Bald Eagle State
11:01
Forest i left my car right outside the town basically just a tavern in a general store near the trail head
11:08
sometime after 8:00 p.m and started to climb up from the creek toward the higher elevations
11:14
most of the snow had melted off over the previous days leaving the streams overflowing and sections of trail
11:20
covering covered with running or standing water with rodendum bushes growing all around
11:26
there was often no choice but to slosh straight through the water there's no chance of keeping your feet dry in
11:32
conditions like that anyway so you just stick to the center of the trail and accept it
11:38
now the trail took me up into the fog which continued to thicken with elevation until my entire world was
11:46
reduced to a six-foot bubble lit by my head lamp the air somehow felt warm and cool at
11:53
the same time there was a constant white noise rushing sound from the water all around that
11:59
grew and faded as I walked and the whole sensory experience had some weird
12:04
effects on me water in my peripheral vision looked like it was ribbing
12:09
instead of flowing and I had these near constant sense of light and activity
12:15
just behind into the sides of me no unusual dread or anything like that
12:20
just a bizarre feeling as my mind invented things to fill in the surroundings that were mostly blocked
12:26
off by my senses i pitched the tarp and went to sleep
12:31
near one of those roaring streams sometime around 1:00 a.m
12:36
i don't even know how many times I woke up convinced there were a crowd of people murmuring
12:42
i opened my eyes and peeked out the tarp though more than 30 feet away were a
12:48
pair of bright yellow eyes looking in my direction then I heard a human-like voice as I
12:56
watched the yellow eyes move through the bushes I realized it was at least 8 foot in height
13:02
i ducked back under the tarp and listened carefully i heard several voices that seemed to
13:08
have be having a conversation for another 10 minutes or so and then it eventually stopped now previous to that
13:15
I have never believed in the Bigfoot existence theories but I now feel that
13:21
is what I encountered
13:26
this next witness states "Hi Lon i grew up in Lancaster County Pennsylvania near Epherta where many
13:34
Amish people live a few years ago late in the summer I was taking my mom's dog
13:40
for a walk there was a road behind her development that sloped downhill with a
13:45
lot of fields that eventually turned into barns and houses that bent into the wooded area my mom worked the second
13:52
shift and I felt bad for the dog being cooped up in the house so I decided to take the pup for a long walk and some
13:57
exercise as I started walking down the hill a cat came out from behind a house then
14:04
another then more from fields and houses until I was being followed down this
14:10
road by no less than a dozen cats the dog was still relatively calm which
14:16
was weird for her because she usually spent the nights running in circles around my mom's modular home jumping
14:22
over people and couches to make sure uh she still could run in a perfect circle
14:30
i kept going down this road which stretched out for probably a mile in front of me before bending into trees
14:36
the sun was beginning to go down and that's when I started hearing yelling at
14:42
first I thought it was Amish folks just bringing in livestock for the evening but then I heard a pattern or noticed a
14:48
pattern and it evolved into this weird indescribable chanting and singing
14:54
someone had a drum i started slowing down and I heard dogs barking from all
15:00
over the place then a few people opened the front doors to their homes and were just staring at me i got out of there
15:07
and ran the whole way up that hill with the dog cat still falling until we got
15:13
to the main road never went that way for a walk again i know that you're familiar
15:19
with the Amish since you have stated that your early family was part of that community have you heard of anything bizarre like
15:25
that and have you ever experienced it now um
15:32
some folks who live outside of the sect the Amish sect claim that there are
15:37
Amish members who practice a form of magic and occultism folking among many
15:42
of the Pennsylvania Dutch and old older Menite communities uh they call it Powow
15:48
well and I've talked about this before and it's still practiced and there are claims that it involves spirit
15:54
supernatural and mystic qualities now as far as what this witnessed experience
16:00
there could be another explanation since I have experienced some of that myself drumming and chanting phenomena is not
16:07
an unknown manifestation of the south central region of Pennsylvania i attribute much of it to the lingering
16:13
sentinel energy of the past residents in particular the Susuhan and other
16:19
previous native tribes who habituated or habited the area i have mentioned my
16:24
experience in some of my writings
16:34
so in this next account the witness states "I am writing this report for my girlfriend as she is
16:41
nervous about wanting to tell her story this event took place towards the end of
16:47
October 2010 in a duplex in the woods of Troy Hill Pennsylvania
16:52
my girlfriend recounts this as a dream but the way she tells it and remembers it is so vivid so vividly it scares me
17:00
and I believe that it could have happened she has never had any odd experiences in
17:05
her life so for her to have this dream seems strange i have however have seen
17:11
my fair share of strange things in the sky and fully believe in aliens and all that i convinced her to let me tell this
17:19
event as it may have happened and I would like you guys to check it out
17:25
we are willing to discuss the event further and answer any questions you may have so here it is i'm typing it typing
17:33
this as she speaks it from here on out she said "I remember it being very early
17:39
in the morning and I woke up to five and six beings in the room there was a little one standing in the front of my
17:46
closet two tall ones one standing on each side of the of the little one and one to the left by the base of the bed
17:52
and one or two standing off to the right of our bed the little one was staring at me not
17:58
making any sounds or gestures but by the way he was I guessed that he might have
18:04
been their leader as he was looking at me the tall one started moving around the room at this
18:10
point I tried to get up but I couldn't move any portion of my body and I couldn't even scream or do anything we
18:17
were sleeping on an air mattress so we were only a foot off the floor
18:22
now one of them came over and got behind my head and peered over me looking down at me and then he walked away
18:30
then he and one of the two of the other beings went over to where my boyfriend was sleeping at this point a bright
18:37
shiny light came through the window and was shining on the floor of the room lighting up the entire room as it got
18:43
brighter the little one and two of the of the walls moved towards the window
18:49
and the light and I could see them i couldn't see them anymore i lost sight of them the rest of the remaining beings
18:56
all converged on the light and window and as they were getting close to the window my boyfriend's body started to
19:02
levitate lifting into the air now at this time I'm not worrying about
19:09
the beings as I'm focusing on my boyfriend elevating into the air i regain the ability to move and I start
19:16
screaming and crying and I jump onto my boyfriend's body i remember the impact
19:21
of my landing on him lured him out of the air a little bit but he continued to
19:27
rise i was still screaming and I lost sight of the rest of the beings
19:34
it gets super bright and then all I remember of the event until I wake up the next morning next to my boyfriend
19:40
and unusually late i remember waking up sweating and
19:46
feeling very frightened and it was around noon i felt like I woke up later than I usually did and I was very groggy
19:54
my boyfriend also felt like he has slept for way longer than he did and felt like he we had both lost time
20:02
he had no memory of this and as he stayed asleep the whole time during the event
20:07
now she told me about this dream and that's when I told her about my experiences with seeing things in the
20:14
sky now what scares me is that she can describe this story with amazing detail
20:20
and vividly remembers their face and everything we were living with her mom and stepdad at the time and they were in
20:26
the room next to us
20:36
now this next witness states "We're talking about fall of 2021 my
20:41
brother-in-law and I were beneath a railroad trestle in Lancaster County Pennsylvania it was nighttime we were
20:48
out early in the morning on the first day of firearm deer hunting season i didn't notice at first right at first
20:55
but this V-shaped boomerang thing zipped up almost over our heads i'm talking
21:01
like 500 ft or so this thing was big like a city block it was more like a
21:07
boomerang there was a white light on either end which kind of reminded me of an observatory kind of thing like one of
21:13
those helicopters with a double rotor but it was humongous
21:18
right at the bottom of the boomerang i guess you could say it was kind of like
21:24
a strobing blue light my brother-in-law was with me he saw the same thing at the
21:30
time it was you know just time just stopped and when you're looking at something like this it was probably 500
21:37
ft over our heads then it just sat there for a little bit the thing was huge
21:43
this probably lasted maybe two minutes we didn't think that much about it
21:48
or you know about anything and when it left it made this hissing noise or what
21:53
I could hear was a hissing noise i didn't see it come up on us over our heads and like I said it moved away very
22:00
fast this thing was like a blink of an eye it was over my head and then it was gone over Pennsylvania i mean you could
22:07
see it move away that's what I remember as I said it was the fall of 2021 for a craft and that's
22:15
what I'm call looking at i knew it was looking I was looking at a craft of that
22:20
size i'm telling you it was huge four stories to either end
22:26
at the time there was I was not scared about it it It was just like what in the
22:31
world's I did think about running and hiding i didn't think about anything i had a gun
22:37
with me we were deer hunting at the time i didn't think about shooting at it it was just like time kind of stopped
22:55
now this next account is a tale of the North Thumberland werewolf it was
23:01
believed by the local people that an old hermit was the a shape-shifting werewolf
23:08
after he was shot one night so the following tale has been around
23:14
for over a century and a half but um I think it's kind of updated a little bit
23:19
over years i've heard heard several versions of this
23:25
now the area around North umberland Pennsylvania has had its share of strange encounters and incidents over
23:31
the years in particular the Todd Seas possible UFO abduction sub subsequent
23:36
death case which Butch Wowski and I both investigated
23:41
but there's also an older story from the mid 1800s that involves a possible werewolf
23:47
now the early German farming communities throughout Pennsylvania were plagued by wolf attacks on their livestock
23:54
young May Paul I live young May Paul lived in a modest farm with her reserved
24:01
family from Northland Pennsylvania now May's significant responsibilities on the farm including hurting and tending
24:08
to the family sheep the young lady was wellliked throughout the tiny community and was no trouble making friends
24:16
however she quietly caught the attention of an elder gentleman who everyone was fearful of
24:22
he would often be seen following the young lady around town as well as watching her from afar as she tended to
24:28
the flocks their kinship seemed strange and disturbing to many individuals
24:33
though they seemed um never seemed to cross any boundaries
24:40
now a strange occurrence began to occur on surrounding farms and the Paul family
24:46
seemed to stay safe wolf attacks on the surrounding sheep herds were becoming common place and onslaught were being
24:53
reported in broad daylight yet the Paul family stayed safe from any encounters
24:58
and didn't suffer one casualty now due to the recent attacks on the
25:03
docel creatures bounties were made paid were being paid out to hunters who could produce corpses
25:10
so one late evening or one evening a nearby neighbor spotted the glowing eyes
25:16
of a wolf being lit by the full moon the man quickly retrieved his rifle and let
25:22
off a fiery blast the yelp and cries from the wolf echoed for acres
25:28
feeling content that the predator was now taken care of the man retired for the evening the following day early dawn
25:35
the man trudged through his land until he found a trail of blood through the thicker trees he followed
25:42
the crimson tail trail until he came upon the body of an elderly gentleman
25:48
the man laid dead from a single gunshot wound to the abdomen when the community got wind of what
25:54
happened locals immediately branded the hermit a werewolf hadn't he always been strange and
26:00
secretive living alone and keeping to himself they buried his body in the dirt floor of his cabin and christened the
26:08
spot the wolf man which translate to mean the wolf man's
26:13
grave now strangely enough May Paul never lost a single sheep to a wolf
26:18
attack even though quite often a large gray wolf would be seen menacingly
26:24
around the perimeters of her property staring ominously at the woman from afar
26:33
now this next witness states "This is probably useless information but when I
26:40
was a kid in the 70s I told people what I saw and they said I was dreaming i
26:45
grew up on a farm outside of Johntown Pennsylvania some beings came into my bedroom and
26:52
stood on the porch roof outside my bedroom at night i would cry "Please stop."
26:58
They were about 3 feet tall humanoid and upright my dad told me that they were stray cats but they weren't cats
27:06
i wasn't allowed to watch TV for a long time because my parents thought the television shows were giving me bad
27:11
dreams now the closest neighbor was about 200 yards away and asked me why my
27:16
nightlight was so bright i only had a little Christmas tree light she said it
27:22
was so bright she was concerned that the house might be on fire but she could tell it wasn't fire just a bright light
27:30
now I was born in 1970 and we moved out of that house in 1979
27:35
i never saw them again but I know what I remember i've been trying to tell myself they
27:41
were just dreams for like 35 years and I know it wasn't dreams like I said
27:46
useless information after 35 years but it feels good to tell someone who won't say you were dreaming and the neighbor
27:53
who asked about the super bright light wasn't dreaming either so thank you it's
27:58
kind of a strange inquiry but I figured I'd throw it in here
28:06
so this next account the witness states and and a lot of the a lot of these um
28:11
accounts come from central Pennsylvania or south central Pennsylvania where I'm located so I'm just making you aware of
28:18
that so hi i got lost in central Pennsylvania one night and tried to turn around the road I was on didn't have any
28:25
roads I could turn on the places where I could fit were closed and gated off the
28:32
road ahead had no truck sign so I stopped on the shoulder enough that the other traffic could fit through i tried
28:39
asking my coworker for help and she told me I'd have to do it alone i hated her she was no help and had to do it and I
28:46
had to do everything so I'm looking for a place to turn around gps and phone couldn't find any
28:52
signal when up in front of me truck lights flickered on i was pretty sure there wasn't a truck there a second ago
29:01
then an Asian man walked up to me from the truck and asked if I was lost to
29:06
which I said yes he told me that he had a key to a school bus yard behind his
29:12
truck and he had had me turn in to get it turned around
29:17
it was full of old buses and wasn't on Google Maps even in the satellite mode
29:23
i was sitting behind his truck when he asked where I was headed and I told him that and he knew uh where my load was
29:31
coming from California i was headed to the Walmart distri distribution center
29:36
and we were late so I thought maybe he worked there and he knew maybe we were
29:41
the only load uh late load but he didn't have a Walmart truck or trailer i
29:48
shrugged it off and he he says to follow him there and everything is fine for a while gets
29:55
me up and on to I 81 and we take off this uh take up on this hill he takes
30:02
off and I see his neon uh orange trailer up ahead crossing the hill i get up to
30:07
the top and he's gone it's a strange rise ahead a straight rise ahead and I
30:13
don't see him anywhere so I start freaking out no way he sped off that fast in a semi and I couldn't find the
30:20
exit I need i see Flying J truck stop if you don't know and stop i run inside and
30:27
get something to eat donuts and Gatorade and go to the counter a trucker's atlas
30:32
is sitting there as I'm checking out i decide I need need it since I'm lost he
30:38
rings up the donist rings up the drink gets their atlas and it doesn't scan the
30:44
cashier tries again and same another cancel sound as before so he just hands
30:51
it to me and says "Another trucker must have just left it there i don't even think we stock it to be honest just take
30:56
it." I returned to the truck scarf down the donuts and open the atlas i find out
31:03
where I am and I plot the rest of my trip my GPS flickered back to life when
31:09
I started the engine i don't believe in ghosts but that made me wonder now look
31:14
when I said California I meant California Pennsylvania there is a California Pennsylvania and I found out there is a u
31:21
u there was a Walmart distribution center there
31:29
excuse me
31:37
so this next witness states "When I was a teenager we went away for
31:43
a week of camping at the Hidden Valley Scout Reservation in Perry County Pennsylvania i used to be I used to go
31:50
there as well when I was in scouts my dad was our scout master and we were
31:55
mostly all friends from growing up there was one kid Alex the youngest that we
32:01
didn't know well was definitely kind of weird withdrawn and awkward just kind of different but still a sweet guy that
32:07
everyone liked now toward the end of the week we went out on an overnight just the scouts
32:13
without my dad or his buddy who was our other scouter
32:18
we hiked for hours into the bush it was a hot day and my older brother was leading us but not drinking any water
32:26
and wearing a light jacket which made him extra hot eventually we found a
32:31
sweet spot next to the river we made a fire cooked dinner and we soon fell asleep under the stars
32:39
now around 4:30 a.m just before sunrise my friend Steve woke me up and asked if
32:44
I knew where Alex was i said no and that maybe he went to relieve himself but
32:50
after 5 minutes he wasn't back so we got up and started looking around and calling his name nothing
32:57
so we ranged a little further and then I saw his sleeping bag at the end of the
33:02
river or at the edge of the river i freaked out and ran over to see if I could see anything at the bottom but I
33:08
saw nothing we tried to get to my We tried to get my brother up but he was pretty sick from
33:15
the heat and so I took charge of the situation we started ranging out of the into the
33:21
woods and calling his name one of the guys started doing the emergency whistle call three short whistles but we were
33:28
really in the middle of nowhere i started going deeper into the woods calling his name then I thought I heard
33:35
something i stopped and listened and heard a faint cry deep in the woods so I
33:41
started running crashing through thick undergrowth getting lashed in the face with branches and stumbling across
33:47
fallen logs his cries got louder and eventually I arrived at this huge clearing in the
33:54
woods to find him sitting on a fallen tree in his underwear and a t-shirt
34:00
he said he had been there for hours having woken up on the ground in the dark and having no idea where he was so
34:08
he just sat there waiting for the dawn it was spooky the craziest thing was
34:13
that his watch had been reset so it he didn't know what time it really was
34:20
we all accepted that was probably sleepwalking but he wasn't so far in the woods and
34:26
didn't have a scratch on him and this clearing was so bizarre because it was
34:31
big and round in the middle of this dense forest to this day I wonder what had happened
34:37
and one thing I've got to ask is was he taken was he taken by some other worldly
34:44
being or a creature of some types who knows
34:50
so folks that's the end of it if you got any questions please put them in all caps and we'll
34:58
see what we can do about answering them
35:20
you know I had somebody when I posted that story originally that last one uh somebody had asked me "Well it was you
35:26
know it was scout troops you had a leader why weren't the leaders along with him the adults with them?" Well
35:34
you know I thought the same thing but I remember my days in scouting and uh because I was an Eagle Scout and that we
35:41
had a couple Eagle Scouts with us now I don't know if his brother was an Eagle Scout but we also had explorers as well
35:48
which was above that so many times when we we stayed at a campsite for like a
35:53
week or went out we uh the older guys usually took over uh so I don't know if
35:58
that was the case or not but I just thought I'd mention it yeah Mortal Clown thanks for the super chat very much
36:04
appreciated sir Wolf hi Lon did all the same
36:11
cryptids exist prior to the white man in USA or did they bring them through
36:16
beliefs and practices etc somewhere well
36:21
that's pretty interesting question um I I think they've been here i think
36:26
they've been here for I don't I don't know if they're indigenous but I I think they kind of
36:32
pop in and out and have for eons um you know the whole werewolf thing crypted
36:38
canine thing um dueo or what they call them around here
36:45
i I think a lot of those were from the the German farmers who when they were
36:52
living in the old old world they were very familiar with the um with the
36:58
werewolf lore and the the wolf lore and such the lyanthropy could
37:05
they could their minds have literally not only thought form manifestations but
37:11
it's something that they thought they saw or you know who knows but um
37:17
yeah I think they've been around here for for a long time
37:25
jose Sanchez I once visited Philadelphia Pennsylvania any cryptic sightings reported in an area or is it usually in
37:31
the other part of Pennsylvania that they're seeing no just north just northeast of Philadelphia up in Bucks
37:38
County we've had a lot of crypted sightings up there and it's it's a pretty affluent county is where in fact
37:45
I think it's probably the most affluent county in the state but um
37:51
we have investigated at least four or five crypted canine sightings
38:00
in Bucks County over the past five or six years
38:05
uh so there have been a lot of weird things in the suburbs of of Philadelphia now as far as things going on in
38:11
Philadelphia well Philadelphia is an older city i mean for you know
38:16
US time you know um there are a lot of hauntings in
38:23
Philadelphia there are a lot of stories about you know of course the Revolutionary War and the Civil War and
38:28
everything in between uh there there's a lot there's a lot of tales that have been told and a lot of
38:34
things have manifested so um yeah but no Pennsylvania all in all is
38:42
pretty creepy i mean there's a lot of stuff that goes on in this state i'm kind of surprised some of the things that do turn up and that are reported to
38:48
me damn it how many sheep squats do you
38:56
think are out there there's one roaming around out in Breen Ridge County Kentucky for a long time since Daniel
39:03
Boon times um I don't get many sheep sheep squatch reports now the only one I've ever got
39:11
and I did get one in Kentucky years ago not far from Louisville that the witness says that was a sheep
39:17
sheep squatch i had another one that was reported to me in South Central Virginia
39:26
near Blackburg many many years ago but I believe those are the only two now
39:35
I've had peop I don't I don't know if people are familiar with the Ozark hower
39:41
supposed to be a big cat or some kind of crypted uh some people believe that's a sheep squatch i don't really know but um
39:49
other than that that's all I have received
39:59
berg Frooing can you do a show about one of one about
40:06
out of place animals just normal animals and no cryptids
40:11
well I I I have done the not dear shows i've done that before and I've done
40:17
similar shows i mean if they're if they're out of place animals they're basically a crypted it's something that
40:25
it it's not known to science i mean now you are you talking about animals that are
40:32
not known to inhabit the Pac specific area yeah I probably do that but that
40:39
wouldn't be very paranormal but uh I I you know I'll keep note of it
40:48
jose Sanchez was your story about the yellow eyes at the height of the truck's front bumper
40:54
have been a dog man six to seven foot puts them in that general category uh
41:01
I have received reports of crypted canines
41:07
that have been seen in front of vehicles and trucks and stuff that didn't measure
41:12
up that high in fact I had a couple of them described to me from Alabama uh
41:19
we've been doing some investigating out of Alabama in fact and uh Mortal Clown who's in the chat I
41:26
I sent her the the the uh the audio from some something that our investigators
41:34
grabbed down there we don't know what it is i think one was a crypted K9 the other was a Bigfoot um you know I've
41:40
talked before about um the encounters we've had in
41:46
in uh central Alabama around the the Kuza River
41:53
Wildlife Management Area that's kind of sits right between Montgomery and Birmingham
41:58
but there's a lot going on there and um you know we've gathered evidence for years uh eventually one day I'll put it
42:07
all together and do a presentation but until I get some more information and
42:12
some more evidence um I'm just going to have to hold off on that
42:29
jose Sanchez I once encountered something that looked like a fox but was extremely long legs and was just
42:36
standing there staring at me this happened before going to work at 4:00
42:41
a.m what could that have been i don't know what area you live at uh around
42:48
here if I saw something like that I'd probably believe a koi wolf now we we do
42:54
start we have been seeing koi wolves more or less around here they're a crossbreed between a a coyote and a um
43:03
and a timberwolf um they originated up in Canada but they've been moving down into Pennsylvania and they look like
43:10
that they look like a coyote with very long legs so um yeah I I don't know what you I
43:17
don't know what you saw but uh that's the only thing I could think of at this time
43:33
