Uncovering The Piasa Bird Mystery - Smoke After Dark

What this episode covers

In this episode I unravel the tale of the Piasa Bird or Thunderbird of the Midwest. In Native American folklore the story of the Piasa bird has lived for centuries, along with other stories of gigantic winged creatures. Tonight we go in detail about Dr. Mark J. Wagners groundbreaking research on the Piasa Bird which has changed the landscape of this urban legend forever. One infamous story about the Piasa Bird revolves around an first hand account by John Russell in 1836. Claiming Chief Ouatoga of the Illini actually slayed the Piasa Bird! Many have disputed John Russell's claims and I go over that as well. Lastly, I cover a recent sighting of a gigantic winged creature in the sky; possibly the Piasa Bird.

The stigma of mental health within those who serve in the shadow of the cross is something that invokes the stigma of fear. Many of those in the clergy will choose to suffer in their despair rather than reaching out for help. Sometimes those suffering choose to wait until it's too late to get the real help that they need. At Wounded Warriors of the Cross our mission is to lift the stigma and the veil of silence that encompasses clergy mental health and assist those who suffer in silence. Wounded Warriors of the Cross is here to shed the light of Christ's love into those dark places.
