    John had a twenty-minute conversation this week with the Loch Ness Monster and decided to finish up an episode five years in the making. Also, Brandon starts talking about Loch Nussey, which, of course, was a whole thing. So yeah, the explicit tag is load-bearing this episode. Merch:...

  11. Columbus Poltergeist - The Amazing Poltergeist - 201

    After our Mother's Day break, we're back. And future John writing this now realizes how morbid the timing of this episode is!

  12. Herrmann House Poltergeist - Horn Noises - 200

  13. Finding Sabine Thing - Christian Micro-zoos - 199

  14. Michigan Dogman - 2D is the Guy From Blur - 198

    This week, Brandon takes the reins again, as John comes down off some kind of persistent cough.

  17. Santa Isabel Entity - Skill Issue - 195

  19. Project Beta - The Tragedy of Paul Bennewitz - 193

    For the (probably) last episode of the year, we figured we would go out on a sort of depressing one.

  20. The Ammons Haunting Case - Blue Screen of Death - 192

    This week, things get flipped around because this episode was supposed to come out last time. Is it the result of a demon's curse, or is it just Windows 11 being Windows 11? Listen and find out as we talk about what some call the "most credible" haunting of recent memory. Merch:...

  21. The Sandown Clown Revisited - Clown Pervert Strikes Back - 191

    In a slightly delayed episode, we return to talk about the Sandown Clown after a fatal Windows crash blows up our last recording. Merch: https://www.etsy.com/shop/cryptopediamerch Discord: https://discord.gg/AWpen8aYQG Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14015340 YouTube (Videos have...
