• BWBS Ep:72 The Scape Ore Swamp Monster

  This episode takes you deep into the wilds and waters of North Carolina, where folklore and fear go hand in hand.We kick things off in the murky lowlands of Scape Ore Swamp, home to one of the strangest cryptid encounters on record. Known as the Lizard Man, this creature first terrorized the small town of Bishopville in the late 1980s. With glowing red eyes, scaly skin, and a towering frame, witnesses described something straight out of a nightmare. But some say this wasn’t a one-time visitor. Could the Scape Ore Swamp Monster be part of something bigger—another link in North Carolina’s long history of Bigfoot sightings?From there, we head into the dense forests and remote backroads, where encounters with Bigfoot have spanned generations. Hunters, hikers, and locals tell stories of hulking, hair-covered figures crossing highways in the dead of night, of eerie howls that send shivers down your spine, and of something massive lurking just beyond the tree line. These aren’t just isolated incidents—they’re part of a pattern stretching across the state, from the Uwharrie National Forest to the Blue Ridge Mountains.But the mysteries don’t stop in the woods. Off the coast, the Outer Banks are known as the Graveyard of the Atlantic, where more than 2,000 ships have met their end. Some of them, according to legend, never left. We explore the chilling stories of North Carolina’s ghost ships, like the Carroll A. Deering, found run aground in 1921 with its entire crew vanished. And then there’s the Flaming Ship of Ocracoke, a phantom vessel said to appear in flames before vanishing into thin air.Then come the booms. Along these same shores, locals have heard thunderous explosions for centuries—sounds that rattle homes, shake the ground, and leave no physical trace. They call them the Seneca Guns. Are they earthquakes? Underwater landslides? Something stranger? No one knows. But the booms keep coming.And just when you think it can’t get any stranger, we dig into North Carolina’s werewolf legends. From the colonial era to the present day, there are stories of shapeshifters, half-human beasts, and howls that don’t belong to any known predator. Whether they’re European legends brought over by settlers or something older and native to these lands, the werewolves of North Carolina still haunt the edges of local lore.From swamp monsters and Sasquatch to ghost ships, phantom booms, and werewolves—this is North Carolina like you’ve never heard it before.If you’re loving these stories, here’s what to do next:Follow and subscribe to the show.Turn on auto-downloads so you never miss an episode.Leave a rating and review—it helps more people find us, and we appreciate it.Most importantly, tell your friends, family, and co-workers.

• BWBS Ep:71 Missing: National Park Nightmares Vol.1

  Welcome to first episode in a series of National Park Nightmares, a deep dive into some of the most mysterious disappearances that have taken place in America’s vast and often unforgiving national parks. In this first episode of the series, we explore four baffling cases of individuals who vanished under strange and unexplained circumstances: Dennis Martin, Thelma Pauline Melton, Bessie and Glen Hyde, and Trenny Gibson. Each of these cases presents unique and unsettling elements that leave us questioning what forces might be at play in the depths of the wilderness. These are not merely stories of people getting lost. Many of these cases involve eerie coincidences, missing evidence, and witnesses reporting odd details that defy conventional explanations. As we embark on this series, we aim to investigate the facts while respecting the families of the missing, acknowledging the pain they have endured, and ensuring that these individuals are not forgotten. Some speculate that unknown elements—whether natural, human, or even cryptid—may be involved in these disappearances. While we are not here to promote any particular theory, we cannot ignore that fact is sometimes stranger than fiction.Cases Covered in This Episode: 🔹 Dennis Martin (1969) – Great Smoky Mountains National Park A six-year-old boy vanishes without a trace during a family camping trip. Hundreds of searchers, including the Green Berets, comb the area, but no trace of him is ever found. Was Dennis simply lost, or was there something more sinister at play? 🔹 Thelma Pauline Melton (1981) – Great Smoky Mountains National Park An experienced hiker disappears in broad daylight on a well-traveled trail she had walked countless times before. No signs of struggle, no logical explanation—just gone. 🔹 Bessie and Glen Hyde (1928) – Grand Canyon National Park A newlywed couple sets off on a daring honeymoon adventure down the Colorado River but never reaches their destination. Their boat is found intact with all their supplies, yet the Hydes themselves have vanished. Did they drown, or is there another explanation? 🔹 Trenny Gibson (1976) – Great Smoky Mountains National Park A sixteen-year-old high school student on a school field trip steps off a trail for mere moments and is never seen again. Her disappearance raises many questions, especially considering her proximity to other students and the strange behavior of some individuals in the group.Join the Discussion: Do you have thoughts on these cases?

• BWBS Ep:70 Scary Encounters!

  The woods and backroads at night hold more than just the familiar legends of Sasquatch or the terrifying Dogman. Some encounters defy classification—leaving behind nothing but questions and an eerie sense that reality is far stranger than we think. In this episode, we dive into some chilling experiences:A police officer witnesses an otherworldly figure lurking in the shadows—something small, gray, and watching him with enormous black eyes. The encounter leaves him frozen in place until the creature raises its arm, revealing a strange metallic bracelet. A moment later, everything goes dark, and he wakes up on the ground, disoriented and haunted by what he saw.A woman mowing her pasture spots an unusual being—grayish-white, moving in an unnatural, bouncing gait. Later, whispers in her mind seem to acknowledge her routine, and she begins to suspect she is being watched. Her unease grows when strange lights appear in the sky, and her security system goes unchecked on the very night something stirs outside her home.Another witness, out for an evening walk, sees a glowing shape hovering just above the treetops. As he nears the forest’s edge, he notices an eerie blue light shining through the trees. Then, he sees it—something not human, something observing him in complete silence. What happens next is a blackout he can’t explain, leaving him shaken to this day.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AMVisit HIMS.COMAre these beings visitors from somewhere else?

• BWBS Ep:69 Don't Mess With The Monkey Man!

  For centuries, people have whispered about creatures that lurk just beyond the edges of our understanding—beings that live in the shadows, in the forests, beneath the waves. Some dismiss them as folklore, others claim to have seen them with their own eyes. And then, there are those who say they’ve lived among them.Tonight, we explore three incredible stories—each more unbelievable than the last.First, we journey to Tennessee, where the Carter family claimed to have lived alongside a clan of Sasquatch for decades. At the heart of this astonishing story is Fox, a massive, intelligent male Bigfoot who supposedly learned to understand English and even spoke in broken phrases. Was this a case of true interspecies communication, or one of the most elaborate hoaxes in Bigfoot history?  Then, we dive deep—literally—into the legend of mermaid-like fish people, humanoid creatures spotted in remote waters across the world. From ancient sailor accounts to modern-day reports, there have been eerie descriptions of beings that seem half human, half fish—but are they truly mermaids, or something far stranger? Some stories tell of intelligent water-dwelling entities who avoid human contact, while others suggest something more sinister lurking beneath the surface.And finally, we venture to the dense jungles of India, where generations have told of the Monkey Man—a creature said to be part human, part primate, seen leaping across rooftops and vanishing into the night. Some believe it’s an undiscovered species, while others insist it’s something supernatural, a being that exists in the space between reality and myth. But in 2001, panic swept through the city of Delhi when multiple reports surfaced of a terrifying humanoid figure attacking people in the dead of night.Was this mass hysteria, or something much more real?This episode is a journey through the unbelievable, the unexplained, and the outright bizarre. From the deep forests of Tennessee to the waters where legends of mermaids refuse to die, to the mysterious figure haunting the streets of India—these are stories that defy explanation.So, what do you believe? Are these just myths, or is there something out there, hiding in the spaces we refuse to look? Support the Show! If you love exploring the unknown with me, I need your help! If you’re listening on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, take a moment to rate and review the show—it helps more people find these incredible stories and keeps the search for the truth alive.And imagine what we could do together if you shared this episode with five friends who are just as fascinated by the unexplained as you are.The search isn’t over.
