Bring On The Questions

Welcome to our next cryptid origin story. The origin of the Chupacabra is really recent in the grand scheme of things. The first alleged sighting or encounter was in March of 1995 where 8 sheep were discovered dead. After that, other mysterious livestock deaths were attributed to the same creature. The coining of the term "chupacabra" is credited to the Puerto Rican comedian and radio personality Silverio Pérez, who used the label during a broadcast in 1995 while commenting on the livestock deaths. The name translates literally from the Spanish chupar (to suck) and cabra (goat). #BringOnTheQuestions #Podcast #Chupacabra #Cryptozoology #PuertoRico

Early observers of the world, scientists before there were really scientists, were adamant that the world was flat and then observed a little closer and decided there were too many circles or partial circles being observed on celestial bodies to continue to say it was flat. Well according to some people those scientists were feeding people lies. Those people believe only what’s right in front of their eyes. If they can’t observe it on their own it simply isn’t true….and yet the unobserved ice wall dominates their belief system on how the waters of the earth are held in place.#BringOnTheQuestions #Podcast #FlatEarth #IceWall #RoundEarth

This week we’re exploring the hollow earth hypothesis. Many religions have believed or still believe some kind of afterlife exists under or in the earth. Is there a way to enter that space from the surface without dying first? Before there was deep polar, north or south, exploration there was some thought the speed of the spin of the earth caused the poles to flatten out and become openings into the inner zone. Alleged accidental exploration of the inner world garnered some interesting “facts”, but can we believe what we’re told they found and then immediately told that’s not really what happened? #BringOnTheQuestions #Podcast #HollowEarth #ConspiracyTheory #Agartha

Walpurgis Night or Walpurgisnacht. Another fire, fellowship, and fun-filled mid season celebration brought to you by those kookie Germanic folk. Saint Walpurga is the reason for this particular seasonal celebration, but that’s only because they moved her remains about 100 years after she died and made that the reason for an annual feast in her name. Saint Walpurga is characterized by her perceived efficacy against the forces of pests, rabies, whooping cough, and those wicked witches who roam the lands. Plus, those dirty pagans happened to have a celebration at that same exact time of year that just needed to be swept away. Thus, Walpurgisnacht was born!#BringOnTheQuestions #Podcast #WalpurgisNight #Germanic #Pagan

Unicorns and tangents. I guess I could say more about this episode, but that’s about the gist of what happened. We talked about Unicorns, but boy did we go in wild directions while we were doing it. So apparently a story tells of Unicorns that were the size of mountains and that’s why they couldn’t fit on Noah’s Ark and that’s why we don’t see Unicorns today? Another story says they were too silly to get on the ark so Noah had to leave them behind. #BringOnTheQuestions #Podcast #Unicorns #DancingOnRainbows #CryingLaughing

We learned so much in a year! It’s actually pretty mind blowing! This episode was supposed to be the entire year in review, but we’re pretty good at tangents and getting distracted too. Soooo we only talked about the trailer and first 15 episodes. Anyway we hope you enjoy our very non-structured and mostly conversational episode.#BringOnTheQuestions #Learning #History #67 #Conversation

Three guys who went to college together were tired of the bland canned coffee they were being served and set out to do something about it. They brought together the best coffee beans they could find and called their company Starbucks. Then another guy came along and said they could do so much more than just sell beans. They turned him down until his “third place” between work and home became the best thing around. He bought their company and many others in the years to come to become a global phenomenon that has no intention of slowing down. #BringOnTheQuestions #Podcast #Starbucks #History #OriginStory

Big Corporations have been an American staple since the beginning of America right up to this very day. Textiles, railroads, telecommunications, and petroleum were the dominating forces of the early days and in the modern day we are inundated with the overwhelming power of technology in its many forms. Big Corporations are forces of unnatural power and they are fully aware of that face. They know all too well that we mere mortals despise them, but we also cannot live without them.#BringOnTheQuestions #Podcast #BigCorporations #America #YellowParty #67

Triskaidekaphobia (fear of the number 13) and its variant, paraskevidekatriaphobia (fear of Friday the 13th), are among the West's most enduring superstitions, costing the U.S. economy up to $900 million in lost productivity every Friday the 13th.The stigma begins with mathematics. Ancient civilizations venerated the number 12 as a symbol of "divine completeness" (12 months, 12 zodiac signs, 12 gods of Olympus). As a prime number following this "perfect" dozen, 13 became viewed as a "disruptor" or a source of chaos.Studies show a fascinating paradox: while traffic accidents can increase by 52% due to driver anxiety and stress, other data suggests the date is actually safer because superstitious individuals are "preventatively more careful." Ultimately, the danger lies not in the number itself, but in the psychological stress and confirmation bias of the observer.#BringOnTheQuestions #Podcast #Thirteen #FridayTheThirteenth #History

Coral Castle is a physical representation of intense dedication and incredible engineering. Edward Leedskalnin spent most of his life building Coral Castle with the hope of his former love joining him and starting a full life complete with children. However, that was not to be. He brought the world this engineering marvel at the cost of his broken heart. #BringOnTheQuestions #CoralCastle #Engineering #EdwardLeedskalnin #History #Oolite

Superstition is an enduring cognitive bridge between the rational pursuit of causality and the psychological need for agency in an uncertain world. Etymologically derived from the Latin superstitio ("standing over"), the term has evolved from Roman associations with excessive ritual to Medieval Christian labeling of "pagan remnants" and "erroneous belief."As society moves into the 21st century, superstition has adapted to technology. "Lucky Girl Syndrome" functions as a digital manifestation ritual, while fears surrounding 5G mimic the ancient "Evil Eye." Even in professional settings, "the ghost in the machine" manifests as beliefs that printers sense stress or that IT professionals possess "expert magic" to scare hardware into compliance.\Ultimately, superstition thrives in the "knowledge gap." Whether through Ice Age rituals or modern hashtags, these beliefs persist because they address a fundamental human need: the hope that small, symbolic actions can influence the grand machinery of fate. #BringOnTheQuestions #Podcast #Superstition #LuckyGirlSyndrome #Fate

Happy Valentine’s Day! It’s that time of year where goats are sacrificed and naked priests run around spanking women with strips of goat hides to ensure fertility and ease of pain during childbirth….oh wait….no no….that’s how Lupercalia, the precursor to Valentine’s Day, is celebrated. Sometime later the church decided that kind of celebration was a little too intense to find a partner for a romantic occasion. Later still Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Parliament of Fowls introduced something that was a little closer to the idea of how we celebrate Valentine’s Day today.#BringOnTheQuestions #Podcast #Valentine #Lupercalia #History

Here we go, we’re breaking down another cryptid creature. This time we want to know about the sad sad loose skinned teary eyed Squonk that lurks around the hemlocks of north-central Pennsylvania. It was described early on in William T. Cox’s Fearsome Creatures of the Lumberwoods, With a Few Desert and Mountain Beasts. It’s a long name, but the short book is packed full of cryptids from all over the United States. Cox says about the Squonk “Because of its misfitting skin, which is covered with warts and moles, it is always unhappy”. Its peculiar defense mechanism is quite unique. If it’s spooked by anything it’ll simply burst into a puddle of liquid.J.P. Wentling once thought he was clever enough to have caught a Squonk in a burlap sack, but soon enough all Wentling was carrying was a sopping sack.#BringOnTheQuestions #Podcast #Squonk #Cryptid #Believe

Do you ever recognize or tune in to those moments where if you were just a couple minutes or even seconds later it would have meant disaster? Do you ever think of someone and suddenly you’re getting a text message or a phone call from them? Any time you feel that sense of “Right Place, Right Time”. These are coincidences that have meaning to you, “Meaningful Coincidences” or more simply Synchronicity. #BringOnTheQuestions #Synchronicity #Jung #Coincidence #RightPlaceRightTime

This is a bit of a sequel to our 6th episode! Then we asked “How did the days of the week get their names” Now we’re asking How Did The Months Get Their Names. For a long long time a long long time ago the Romans would march in March and finish the year in December totaling 304 days in the year. So what happened during those other 61 days? Nothing. It was just this void of time passing. Fun fact: September, October, November, and December have always been named that, but they were in fact the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th months. January and February came later for a couple different reasons. We get into it!#BringOnTheQuestions #Podcast #History #Months #Rome

Bibliomancy. Divining prophecy via a sacred text or eventually any literature that holds meaning for you. It was practiced regularly for sometime in history in all religions. Eventually Christianity decided it was a little too witchcraft-like. We tried our hands at a little Bibliomancy ourselves. We miiight have confirmed there is a multiverse. I think we predicted the Philadelphia Eagles losing the chance to go to the Superbowl? #BringOnTheQuestions #Bibliomancy #Divining #Prophecy #Religion

The 2008 killing of Timothy McLean on a Greyhound bus remains one of Canada's most disturbing criminal cases. Vincent Li, suffering from untreated paranoid schizophrenia, beheaded and cannibalized McLean near Portage la Prairie, Manitoba. Li believed he was fulfilling a divine command to destroy a "demon."In 2009, Li was found Not Criminally Responsible on Account of Mental Disorder (NCRMD). The court ruled that his delusions rendered him incapable of understanding that his actions were wrong. He was remanded to a psychiatric facility, where he responded exceptionally well to medication. By 2017, having demonstrated long-term stability and a low risk of recidivism, he received an absolute discharge under the name Will Lee Baker.Did he go Wendigo though? Well you’ll have to listen to find out.#BringOnTheQuestions #History #TrueCrime #Wendigo #Manitoba

Happy Yule! Merry Advent! Soon we'll be in the new year! First we need to celebrate the last few days of 2025 with the final days of the Yuletide season. Much like Advent Yule was formally celebrated or rather observed much longer during the colder months. Now it's nice and condensed down to just 12 days ending on the first day of the new year. Day 1: Mother's Night (Mōdraniht (MO-dra-nikht)): Modern rites for the first night often follow scholarly theories regarding ancestral worship. Practitioners may prepare votive offerings of bread, milk, beer, or honey cakes. The lighting of a hearth fire, candle, or Yule Log is central, symbolizing domestic warmth and protection. Rituals include naming the ancestral "mothers" aloud and giving a libation of milk or ale poured onto the earth or into a bowl.Day 2: The focus shifts to the returning solar energy. Activities include taking time to appreciate the sunset on the Solstice and the sunrise the following morning. Practitioners light a white or gold candle at sunrise to welcome the Sun’s return and often engage in journaling about intentions, what they wish to leave in the darkness and what they wish to bring into the expanding light. Feasting is common, with an emphasis on consuming round or sun-shaped foods, such as oranges, rolls, or specific Yule recipes.Day 3: On the third day, you celebrate family. If you’re celebrating with your family or loved ones, gather with them for a meal. If you’re celebrating alone, focus on expressing gratitude for the relationships you cherish, both physical and spiritual; honor the people who support and strengthen you.Day 4: This is the Day of The Wild Hunt, a day to honor the spirits and ancestors who roam the earth, during the longest nights. It’s a good time to reflect on Odin, the Norse god often associated with Yule and the Wild Hunt. You can leave offerings like bread or apples, for spirits at your doorstep.Day 5: The fifth day of Yule celebrates community and giving. It’s a great day to reach out to friends, neighbors, or coven members (if you’re a witch), and share small gifts, food, or simply kind words.Day 6: The theme for day six of Yule is spiritual renewal. You can light candles in the morning to bring blessings into your home. You can also cleanse your space, altar, or tarot cards, and set your intentions for the remainder of the Yule season.Day 7: On this day, wisdom is pursued. People usually turn to divination, whether it’s through tarot, runes, or scrying to seek guidance for the coming year. Take time to reflect on past lessons you’ve learned and the direction you want to go in the future.Day 8: This day focuses on abundance and the generosity of the Universe. You can make spells for prosperity, or set your intentions for abundance in the coming year. Often, people burn incense like cinnamon or cloves to attract success and wealth.Day 9: The Day of Strength encourages you to honor your personal power. On this day, you can reflect on the challenges you’ve faced and overcome. You can also call on deities or spirits of strength, like Thor or the warrior spirits of your ancestry, to empower you.Day 10: As the Yule season is coming to a close, It’s time to honor protection. Make protective charms or talismans, smudge your home (it is a closed practice, so do this only if you are Indigenous), or cast a circle to shield your space from negativity. Focus on the positive energy you had since the start of Yule.Day 11: This is a night for celebration and joy. Yule merges with New Year’s Eve, so light fireworks or sparklers, dance or make noise, driving away any lingering darkness and welcome a brighter year.Day 12: The final day of Yule is a day of renewal and new beginnings. Reflect on the transformations you went through, during the Yule season. You can write down goals for the new year or create a vision board that represents your intentions.

The short answer is Krampus is the anti-Santi. He’s the yang to Santa’s ying. He was cool in the early days of Germany and then he was too cool for Germany in World War II. In more modern days Krampus is the mascot for a more goth type Christmas. #BringOnTheQuestions #History #Myth #Krampus #Christmas

Formally, Advent was a time of personal sacrifice or abstinence much like Lent and it lasted 40 days as well. Essentially it was a second Lent for the year. It very slowly evolved into the 24 day countdown we have today. From personal abstinence to a miniature daily treat in a handy tandy countdown box. #BringOnTheQuestions #BOTQs #History #Advent #Christmas #Christian #Countdown

A Wendigo is not some cryptid creature that can just be done away with like modern media likes to portray. Succumbing to the Wendigo spirit or going Wendigo is more of a breakdown of one's spirit due to harsh physical conditions, but again that’s an oversimplification of the idea of the Wendigo. It begins with hallucination and paranoia, then moves into seeing regular food as something non-consumable, and finally seeing human flesh as the only thing that can nourish your hunger. Consuming human flesh is the tipping point from the last vestiges of the human spirit succumbing to the Wendigo spirit taking over. Such acts would result in the Algonquian community immediately destroying the cannibalistic human. This can be attested to the reaction the Native American community had in the case of Swift Runner when he mutilated and devoured his entire family. #BringOnTheQuestions #BOTQs #History #TrueCrime #Wendigo #NativeAmerican #Cannibalism

Why is it called “Black Friday”? Well it’s not because the retailers go from not making profits to suddenly making profits on that day. The insane amount of consumerism certainly helps profits, but in reality the profits were already there. When someone started playing with gold standards in 1869 it made lots of days dark for the stock market. However, in the 1960s the day after Thanksgiving evolved into something altogether different. Philadelphia, PA would get overwhelmed by hordes of jolly shoppers putting a strain on the police force and anyone else trying to keep the peace. If you have ever gone Black Friday shopping you would know that wild consumeristic tradition carries on everywhere you go. #BringOnTheQuestions #BOTQs #History #BlackFriday #Consumerism #Shopping #Thanksgiving

The early concepts of a Homunculus or Homunculi is absolutely unreal to us as modern people. They were attempting to create a human outside of the body via alchemical razzle dazzle. The whole idea really threw us for a loop for a chunk of the episode. It got weird for awhile. The modern Homunculus makes a bit more sense to us in this day and age, but things are starting to skew into moral quandaries. #BringOnTheQuestions #BOTQs #Homunculus #Homunculi #Weird #History #Alchemy #Chemistry

Foennix's oldest sibling wanted to know Are Youngest Siblings Always The Tallest, because Foennix is rapidly catching up to her even though she is over 10 years older than her. Genetics, it turns out, is only a part of the factors that determine overall height in humans. One suprising factor that can effect overall height is the time the parents give to any given offspring. #BringOnTheQuestions #BOTQs #Siblings #Sisters #Youngest #Height #Genetics #Heriditary 

We're finishing up our impromptu two part episode on Samhain/Halloween. We finished Part 1 by starting to talk about Mischief Night and we started this episode with a positive spin on it. The toilet paper in a tree and throwing eggs was/is more like malicious donations. It's Malicious Donation Night! We actually learned those last few days of October and first few days of November can be used to honor the dearly departed. Whether you simply leave an empty chair or set a serving for your departed loved one you're supposed to eat in silence so that the spirits can pass through our plane of existence. #bringonthequestions #BOTQs #Samhain #Halloween #History #MischiefNight #Malicous #MaliciousDonations

Samhain that liminal time of year when the veil between the living and the dead spirits thins and we can commune with or attempt to protect ourselves from the otherside. It's a time for the community to thank mother earth for her bountiful harvest to sustain us through the cold that is to come. Oh and there's that whole dressing up and begging for treats door-to-door thing we do to. #BringOnTheQuestions #BOTQs #History #Autumn #Fall #Samhain #Halloween #AllHallowsEve #AllSaintsDay

The deeper narrative of what a Skinwalker actually is goes much deeper than just some shape shifter that can transform into an animal. The Navajo or Diné people continue to believe that a medicine man or woman can become a skinwalker if they were to commit an atrocity on their own family or clan. It’s not some myth, it's part of their continued religion that things can and do happen. As for Skinwalker Ranch, it might just be a battleground for warring tribes of Native Americans where their respective Skinwalkers roam. Fascinating!#BringOnTheQuestions #BOTQs #Skinwalker #History #Mythology #Religion #NativeAmerican

Phun with Phobias! Of course we start with a history lesson on what phobia means and where it came from. The Greeks did it again! Then we get into a bunch of rational and irrational fears. As irrational as some sound people do get diagnosed with them, because they actually exhibit fight or flight response to some of these things. 

Something spooked the Suttons and their guests so much that they fled their home to alert the local authorities on the night of August 21, 1955 and into the morning of August 22. The simplest explanation is a Great Horned Owl doing owl things, but would an owl really cause so much chaos at one place for hours and hours? Maybe this incident was a bit more out of this world. 

Ahhh Teletubbies those lovable technicolor creatures with screens in their bellies that would dance around on your television and entertain young children. They look and sound innocent enough, but what if we told you they allegedly have some seriously dark inspirations? This week we’re asking What Are Dark Theories Of The Teletubbies?

A creature of cryptozoology? A hoax? Some kind of hybrid of real life animals that was trained to kill? Possibly an out of place animal just surviving? Or more simply than that a larger version of an animal that is native to the region? Regardless of any out of this world or fully within the realms of possibility theories something or multiple somethings was/were killing people, not animals, in the hills of mid 18th century France. A singular creature was to blame by not only the people of the region, but the ruling aristocracy at the time. So we ask What Is The Beast of Gévaudan?

“Mr. CrowleyWhat went on in your head?Oh, Mr. CrowleyDid you talk to the dead?Your lifestyle to me seemed so tragicWith the thrill of it allYou fooled all the people with magicYeah, you waited on Satan's call”Mr Crowley by Ozzy OsbourneThis week we’re asking Who Was Aleister Crowley? In our abbreviated history of his life we touch on a few moments that defined who the man was. I started listening to Perdurabo, The Life Of Aleister Crowley by Richard Kacynski. However, that is a 30 hour audiobook. We’re not planning on covering every little aspect of his life, but we may revisit him sometime in the future. 

Happy September....that is if you heed the warning "Do not let them in" then your September will be happy. In this episode we're asking Who Or What Are The Black-Eyed Children? Maybe they just want a ride to their mom's house to get money to see a movie. Maybe they just need to call their parents to come pick them up. Maybe they just need a snack. Whatever excuse they give you Do Not Let Them In, because consequences will occur if you invite them in. 

Why Did The Salem Witch Trials Occur? The Puritans couldn’t stand non-conformity! You needed to be a good little automaton for that society or you would likely be branded a witch….by some teenage girls who dreamed you were a witch?! What!? Yup the powers that be in Salem, MA in 1692 believed teenage girls who claimed people were witches when they dreamed about them. People died because of “spectral evidence”??

We finished up our unintentional two part episode asking What Is Witchcraft. Foennix referenced Hocus Pocus plenty of times. Definitely some spoilers if you haven’t seen either movie. In our witchcraft spell crafting ignorance we attempted to explore what it would take to make a spell to have someone make spaghetti come from their fingers, which of course turned into trying to make an entire spaghetti meal come from your hands; salad, noodles, sauce, and we can’t forget the garlic bread. A production of the Wayward Things Network

What Is Witchcraft?Well it turns out Foennix is pretty passionate about witchcraft and magic type interests. She really gets into movies and shows about witchcraft and magic users. She's so passionate in fact we had to turn this episode into a two parter! You gotta listen to all the things she's talking about related to witchcraft! A production of the Wayward Things Network

“An ye harm none, do what ye will” - The Wiccan Rede. Wicca is a flavor of witchcraft where harming no one is largely practiced. The Threefold Law posits whatever energies one sends out will return threefold. Harming someone will result in harm to you threefold. Sending good intentions will result in good intentions times three returning to you. There are also many different varieties of Wicca as well. Wiccan practices can be mixed into any other traditions or practices you already do to create your own personal Wicca. A production of the Wayward Things Network

As usual there’s WAY more to this topic than we originally thought. In modern times the Thunderbird is more of a cryptid creature, but for thousands of years it existed in Native American stories as a protector and judge of mortal humans. This episode will also be a jumping off point for future episodes on Native American Mythologies. A production of the Wayward Things Network

Ah the 4th of July, the American Independence Day. We dig a little bit into the history of the American holiday. We could have surely gone deeper with that topic, but we just wanted to skim the surface for the time being. The United States Of America is not the only country that has an independence day, as far as we understand it is the first country to have one. We discovered 195 countries have independence days! We also go over the top 5 countries that have exported the most independence days. A production of the Wayward Things Network

We learned just a little bit more about Norse Mythology. The sun and moon are being chased by wolves. #GodStuff Odin is in an eternal pursuit of knowledge and some of his deeds makes him a bit of a hypocrite. Go figure. We’re pretty Frigg and Freyja are different beings in the Norse realms and stories. They each have different kids. Thor is not a son to either woman! A production of the Wayward Things Network

In the first part we told you the story of how we came to be. In this part we’re talking about the nine realms that make up the Norse Mythology cosmos and their inhabitants. The humans of Midgard. The Aesir of Asgard. The Vanir of Vanaheim. The Jotnar of Jotunheim. The Muspells of Muspelheim. The Dark and Light Elves of Alfheim. The Dwarves of Nidavellir/Svartalfheim. Niflheim, but nobody lives there, because it’s too cold. The frost giants don’t even want to be there. And of course the queen of the dead and broken, Hel of Helheim.
