16 | British Werewolves and Mysterious Goo

A buffet of bizarre beings from across the biological spectrum…and beyond! From eight-foot bipedal dog-like cryptids terrorizing the English countryside to strange new microorganisms thriving in Cleveland boat shafts, we are reminded that Earth is weirder and more populace than we can imagine. Highlights: * A mysterious hairy bipedal figure in Danes Dyke woodland - but nobody saw it until reviewing the photos later * The Beast of Bramston Drain - an eight-foot creature leaping over fences with a dead German Shepherd in its mouth * Despite the media calling them werewolves, Britain has virtually no werewolf tradition - wolves were extinct there by 1680 * Jordan’s (really stupid) Retributive Cryptid Theory * Why cryptids seem to materialize from nowhere * Cleveland researchers find completely new single-celled organism thriving in the anaerobic, grease-filled environment of a boat's rudder shaft * The Linean Shortfall: We've only identified 1.2 million species out of an estimated 10-20 million on Earth * Built environment biodiversity? New life forms are likely evolving in the artificial spaces we create * NASA's research on TLEs (transient luminous events) might actually be documenting the food sources for kilometer-sized predatory plasma entities * ELVES stands for "Emission of Light and Very Low frequency perturbations due to Electromagnetic pulse Sources" * The National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) tallies 66 sightings over New York state so far this year * Tom never reported his UFO sighting, Jordan never heard of NUFORC despite it existing for 50 years. How many sightings go unreported? * Paranormal Apathy: You have an incredible experience, then just... take a nap, because your brain has no file folder for processing impossible events * Charles Forte’s "The Book of the Damned" discussed triangular UFOs and extraterrestrial craft possibilities back in 1918 * Why Pilots Stay Quiet: Even if officially allowed to report UAPs now, decades of career-ending consequences don't disappear overnight As always, much more at godsghostsUFOs.com *** SpectreVision Radio is a bespoke podcast network at the intersection between the arts and the uncanny, featuring a tapestry of shows exploring creativity, the esoteric, and the unknown.
