The Extinction Connection
This week we play off our Real To Reel movie and ask the question: Are cryptids relic survivors of extinct animals? People believe the Loch Ness Monster is a Plesiosamur, a marine reptile that died out 65 million years ago.There stories out of the Congo of dinosaur-like crypts that should also have died out millions of years ago and many believe that Sasquatch is, or at the very least, is the direct ancestor of the Gigantopithecus, which by all accounts died out around 300 thousands years ago. But that's just a start. There are countless cryptids from all over the world that seem to be survivors of ancient animals. So are they survivors or something else? There are certainly cryptos out there that clearly aren't prehistoric beasts so what are they? well in this weeks episode we try to answer some of these questions or at the very least direct them as best we can.

On this episode of Almost Canon we revisit the flying humanoid from episode 109 "The Devil's Bridge. Christian returns to the show to go over the history of this mysterious area on the border of Virginia and North Carolina.

It is no wonder that specific area, an area that has seen so many bodies laid to rest it gained the monicker "Burry Hill".

So this week were venturing deep into the arctic circle and investigating the stories of the 'Little People', specifically the Arctic Pygmies. We then follow the trail out of the snow and ice and into the mountains where stories of these fae-like beings are still told.

Recast: The Tuatha Dé
As my notes ran long as the original episode I was going to drop today I figured id fill the slot with a recast of the Tuatha De Danann part 1 episode I did way back when, so that way we can at least prepare for Saint Patricks Day while we wait for the original episode to drop. The Tuatha De are a great topic to get into when talk about the Watchers or Nephilim due to the fact that these mythical beings from Irish folklore were originally know as the People of God before their name was changed to The People of the Goddess Danu and for the fact that seem to be able to pass between portals and originated from what would essentially be another dimension!So to prep for Saint Patricks day here's part 1 of the Tuatha De's history.

On the morning of September 16th, 1994, 62 children, while playing out at recess, witnessed a mysterious object fall from the sky and land in the field near their playground.

As winter firmly wraps it's icy fingers around us, I thought it would be more than appropriate to dive into three first hand encounters that deal with one of cryptozoologies most misunderstood entities....the Wendigo.So this week, as we come back from our hiatus, we kick the new year off with three incredibly chilling stories. The first deals with a hunter, who is in turn, hunted by the creature, while hunting deer in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The second is a story about a stranded snowmobiler who comes face to face with something he had heard about since childhood and the last story deals with a young man, coming home for winter break only to find that his parents have captured something and are holding it captive in the family barn. i hope you enjoy these stories and the bits and pieces of wendigo lore we discuss as we go. so please sit back, relax and enjoy tonight's episode of Almost Canon!Dont forget to leave a rating and a review!

Portals in the Peaks: The Mysterious Disappearances of Erik Lewis and Carl Landers
After hearing from friend of the show, Thom Pollard, and being told about an abandoned campsite found not too far from me, in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, I decided to cover two Missing 411 cases that have fascinated me for 15 years. Our first case takes place in Washington State and involves a climber who seemingly disappeared from the end of a climbing rope, almost as though he unclipped and stepped out into the sky. The second case involves a climber in California who vanished in broad daylight from the middle of an empty snow field on one of America's most mysterious Mountains.

Re-Post: Terror in the Gulf
You'll be getting two episodes this week. One is a re-post in honor of hunting season, a time of year where unsuspecting, non-believers, find out the hard way that there are things out there we can't explain. Just like the main subject in this episode. So our guest tonight has hunted a family plot for years and on this particular year, he and his daughter came face to face with a beast, they could only describe as Bigfoot. They then ran for their lives, out of this area locally known as 'the Gulf' and back to the safety of their camp. This is an incredible Sasquatch encounter that takes place at a hunting camp! So this year, while your at camp or sitting in your stand and you hear a branch snap or something, quietly, walking through the leaves below you, just tell yourself that its probably nothing......Don't forget to leave a rating and a review!

Re-post: Demon Downing
I wasn't able to finish all my notes for this weeks episodes. So while I finish whipping that up, here's a repost of an encounter a woman had with a patient who was often seen at the hospital she worked at. Except this time, she had a front row seat, sitting just in front of the woman's room. Now, she wasn't a nurse, but she did witness some very strange activity coming from the room, activities that would suggest the woman was possessed....Don't forget to leave a rating and review! We need your help to continue moving the show forward. it's been incredibly hard breaking through the noise that is 10,000 podcast and one way she can is by receiving review after review after review.

The Strangest Missing 411 Case You've Never Heard
This week we take a look at one of the strangest Missing 411 case you've probably never heard of, I know I hadn't up until this point. We heard a lot about Dennis Martin, Stacy Arras, or Sammy Boehlke, but there are so many missing children within the page of the Missing 411 book series its not surprising there are cases that don't seem to get a lot of attention. And the Case of Douglas or "Dougie" Legg is one of those cases. So sit back, relax and enjoy this weeks episode.Happy Halloween Everyone! Officially, Spooky Season is coming to a close but I'm going to try and keep that Halloween vibe alive for as long as I can! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

These Europeans were the Greenlandic Vikings and according to their sagas of old, They may have made it as far south as Massachusetts and as far west as Minnesota In this episode Nick goes over several Viking artifact discovered over the last couple hundred years, some of which are very convincing!

The Thompson Street Mimic

This was something Nick experienced while living in Northern NH in an old, house that even looked haunted to the casual passerby. After that we re-listen to another story of a haunted house in New Hampshire. This is one of the best ghost stories we've heard on the show and stands several generations, going all the way back to the 1870's, where an assault on a young woman by a traveling farmhand, may have resulted in murder. there's even some physical evidence associated with this case, which was collected while renovating the house. So kick off spooky season the right way with these two haunted house stories, only found here, on Almost Canon! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
