UNEXPLAINED WEST VIRGINIA: Mothman Lore, Mountain Monsters, & Appalachian High Strangeness
West Virginia has long been known as Mothman country, but the state’s unexplained history reaches far beyond Point Pleasant. In this episode of Phantoms & Monsters Radio, Lon Strickler presents a chilling collection of strange reports from the mountains, forests, mining communities, and backroads of West Virginia and the greater Appalachian region. These accounts include the infamous Vegetable Man of Grant Town, a possible winged omen connected to the 1934 McDunn mine-train disaster, a tall skeletal “Stickman” seen near Harpers Ferry, a bizarre upright deer encounter, Bigfoot-like activity in the Seneca Creek and Spruce Knob backcountry, a terrifying mountain giant with glowing golden eyes, a massive wolf-like creature in the Appalachian borderland, a tiny cloaked Glimmer Man-type figure in Beaver, West Virginia, and a disturbing Black-Eyed Kids encounter in Glade Springs. Are these reports examples of cryptid activity, interdimensional contact, ancient Appalachian folklore, spiritual warnings, or something even stranger? Join Lon as he examines these unsettling cases and explores why West Virginia remains one of the most mysterious and high-strangeness regions in America. Featured cases include: • The Vegetable Man of Grant Town • The Powellton winged omen and the McDunn mine-train explosion • The Stickman near Harpers Ferry • The upright deer or “Deer God” encounter • The Seneca Creek / Spruce Knob backcountry presence • The 10-foot figure with golden eyes • The full moon howl and black wolf-like creature • The tiny cloaked figure of Beaver, West Virginia • The Black-Eyed Kids of Glade Springs Visit Phantoms & Monsters for more eyewitness reports, investigations, and Fortean research.

UNEXPLAINED WISCONSIN: Winged Anomalies, Strange Humanoids & Cryptid Beasts
Wisconsin is known for its forests, lakes, farmland, old mining towns, rural highways, and quiet communities. But beneath that familiar landscape are reports of terrifying encounters with winged anomalies, strange humanoids, invisible entities, black-eyed children, cryptid beasts, and other unexplained phenomena. In this episode of Phantoms & Monsters Radio, we examine a series of disturbing Wisconsin cases, including a terrifying road encounter near Lake Geneva, the legendary Mineral Point Vampire, a winged humanoid seen at the Wisconsin State Fair, a possible angelic intervention in Madison, a Glimmer Man encounter near Sturgeon Bay, a demon-like animal south of Barron, the Man-Bat of Briggs Road near La Crosse, black-eyed children near Milwaukee, a massive figure in Kettle Moraine, and a flying witch-like being near Darien. These reports suggest that Wisconsin may be a corridor of roadside high-strangeness, where witnesses encounter something at the edge of headlights, tree lines, bridges, cemeteries, fairgrounds, and lonely roads. Are these misidentified animals, folklore brought into the modern age, unknown cryptids, interdimensional intrusions, or something even stranger? Join us as we investigate UNEXPLAINED WISCONSIN.

UNEXPLAINED NEW JERSEY: Pine Barrens Monsters, Mantis Men, & Garden State Nightmares
Tonight on Phantoms & Monsters Radio, we return to the Garden State for a rebuilt and expanded presentation: UNEXPLAINED NEW JERSEY. New Jersey is famous for the Jersey Devil and the Pine Barrens, but the state’s unexplained history reaches far beyond one legendary creature. In this episode, we examine reports of a Dogman or Wolfman-like creature near Manchester, UFO and orb activity in Cumberland County, the controversial Fort Dix/McGuire AFB alien body retrieval claim, a winged humanoid at the Old Essex County Jail in Newark, possible Bigfoot activity in Belleplain State Forest, a terrifying Black-Eyed Kids encounter in Atlantic City, a Fairview UFO abduction account, and the bizarre Musconetcong River Mantis Man. These reports suggest that New Jersey may be a concentrated zone of overlapping phenomena, including cryptids, UFOs, humanoids, dimensional anomalies, and high-strangeness encounters.

UNEXPLAINED TEXAS: Humanoids, Giant Snakes, Man-Wolves, & Dinosaurs!
Texas has produced some of the most unsettling unexplained reports in the Phantoms & Monsters archive. In this episode, Lon Strickler examines a disturbing collection of Texas encounters involving a strange humanoid photographed at a gas plant near Kenedy, a missing-time UFO case near Beeville, a possible military-connected childhood encounter near Chase Naval Air Station, a predator-like ranch creature in Zapata County, owl-woman transformation reports from El Paso, a giant unidentified snake at Lytle Lake near Abilene, an alternate-life experience triggered by lightning, an invisible humanoid encounter in Mission, the Man-Wolf legend of Marshall, and the strange Hebbronville anomaly cluster. These cases do not have a single simple explanation. Instead, they suggest a wide field of Texas high strangeness involving cryptids, humanoids, UFO phenomena, missing time, folklore, and witness trauma.

UNEXPLAINED OHIO: Frogman Returns, Dogman Stalks, & Mothman Watches
Tonight on Phantoms & Monsters Radio, we examine a disturbing collection of unexplained Ohio encounters, including the return of the Loveland Frogman, the 1972 Defiance werewolf panic, humanoid sightings in Mount Vernon, a shiny black white-eyed quadrupedal creature near Hillsboro, multiple winged humanoid reports from Toledo and Chesterland, a strange Men in Black style incident in Medina County, upright canine beings near Lake Erie, and a possible cloaked or invisible Bigfoot encounter in southeast Ohio. These reports span decades and regions, yet they share recurring elements: fear, shock, intelligent behavior, unusual movement, glowing eyes, physical dread, and the lasting psychological impact left on eyewitnesses. If you are interested in cryptids, Fortean phenomena, winged humanoids, Dogman reports, Men in Black, and high strangeness in the Buckeye State, this presentation is for you. 👤 I'm Lon Strickler, creator of Phantoms & Monsters, and I’ve been a paranormal researcher and intuitive investigator for over 45 years.

CURSED & HAUNTED OBJECTS: Attachments From Hell!
Some objects are said to carry more than age, memory, or history. In tonight’s Phantoms & Monsters Radio presentation, we examine disturbing accounts involving allegedly possessed, cursed, and haunted objects, including dolls, a Ouija board, an antique chair, a haunted vehicle, and the infamous painting known as The Anguished Man. These cases raise a deeper question. Can an object become a vessel, trigger, or focal point for paranormal activity, or are fear and suggestion enough to create the appearance of a haunting? • Haunted clown wall decoration linked to nightmares, animal fixation, and a missing-time style blackout • Ouija board cases involving obsession, attachment, household collapse, and long-term oppression • The Anguished Man painting chronology, based on reports initially sent directly to Lon by Sean Robinson 👤 I'm Lon Strickler, creator of Phantoms & Monsters, and I’ve been a paranormal researcher and intuitive investigator for over 45 years.

UNEXPLAINED INDIANA: Winged Humanoids, Dark Entities, and Buried Horrors
Indiana has long been a crossroads of strange and terrifying encounters, but some reports go far beyond the familiar haunted house or ghost story. In this episode, I present a chilling collection of Indiana cases involving winged humanoids, dark sentinels, bizarre roadside creatures, possible reptilian entities, graveyard horrors, and other unexplained beings that have left witnesses shaken for decades. From Wanatah to Rolling Prairie, from Shelbyville to Harrison County, these reports reveal a landscape marked by recurring high strangeness, where fear, mystery, and the unknown seem deeply rooted in the land itself. Some witnesses describe towering flying beings and horned entities. Others recount men in black coveralls, glowing child-like figures, and things seen in the woods and caves that simply do not fit accepted reality.

UNEXPLAINED FLORIDA: Witnesses Describe Cryptids, Humanoids & Monstrous Predators
Florida has long been known as a land of extremes. Swamps and pine barrens, remote prairie, coastline, farmland, and dense suburban development all exist side by side, creating a landscape where the natural and the unnatural often seem to overlap. Over the years, witnesses from across the state have described things that do not fit any accepted category. Some reports involve winged humanoids, others monstrous canines, bizarre upright predators, or strange entities glimpsed only for a moment, yet remembered for a lifetime. Tonight, we are going to examine nine such accounts, each one different in appearance and circumstance, but all carrying that same unmistakable mark of the unexplained. What makes these cases so compelling is that they do not point to one simple answer. Instead, they suggest a broader pattern of anomaly that runs through Florida itself. These are not stories from a single town or a brief wave of sightings. They come from the Panhandle, Central Florida, the Gulf Coast, South Florida, the Keys, and beyond. Some witnesses were children at the time. Others were hardened adults who believed only in logic and ordinary explanations. But each of them came away with the same conclusion. They saw, heard, or felt something they could not explain, and in many cases, something they have never forgotten. Florida has always occupied a peculiar place in the American paranormal map. It is famous for Skunk Ape lore, ghost stories, phantom cats, and unexplained lights, but beneath those more familiar legends lies another layer of testimony that is far harder to classify. These are reports that blur the lines between cryptid, supernatural manifestation, and something perhaps even stranger. A flying gargoyle near Zephyrhills. A giant feline thing that rises upright in broad daylight. A dark entity in the water that seems to move with intent. An owl-headed being stood calmly at the edge of the woods. Each report sounds different, yet together they form a body of evidence that deserves serious attention. So tonight, we are not looking at folklore in the abstract. We are looking at firsthand testimony from people who insist that, for a few moments, the world stopped behaving the way it should. These are not polished legends. They are fragments of lived experience, strange, personal, and deeply unsettling. As we move through each account, one after another, a bigger question emerges. Are these isolated anomalies, or glimpses of a hidden reality that has been surfacing in Florida for far longer than most people realize? 👤 I'm Lon Strickler, creator of Phantoms & Monsters, and I’ve been a paranormal researcher and intuitive investigator for over 45 years.

THE GHOUL FILES: (Audio) Islamic Tradition, Cemetery Creatures, and Witness Terror
Tonight on Phantoms & Monsters Radio, we explore the ancient ghoul tradition of the Middle East and compare it to a disturbing series of modern witness reports involving pale humanoids, cemetery crawlers, battlefield scavengers, mountain screams, and deceptive entities that seem to imitate human behavior. From Iraqi Kurdistan and Kuwait to Illinois, Montana, and Gettysburg, these accounts reveal a striking continuity between Islamic folklore and contemporary high strangeness. In this presentation, I examine how classic ghoul traits, graveyard association, corpse predation, mimicry, liminal settings, caves, ruins, and psychological aftermath, continue to surface in modern encounters. Whether these reports reflect folklore carried forward, misunderstood cryptids, ultraterrestrial manifestations, or something else entirely, the similarities are too strong to ignore.
