Expanded Perspectives

• Runnin With the Devil

  On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off by discussing the unpredictable temperature swings in central North Texas over the past few weeks before diving into the strange and mysterious. First, two hunters in Kansas experience a once-in-a-lifetime encounter—not one, but two Bigfoot creatures foraging on snails and clams while out deer hunting. Then, a possible Glimmer Man sighting shakes up two witnesses in Crooked Lake, Wisconsin. Meanwhile, in New Hampshire, a man hears multiple unseen entities moving around the forest near his sister’s property. What’s lurking in the woods, and why? After the break, Cam shares a chilling Arizona ghost story from the spring of 1883. With the men away tending their flocks, two women and their children were left alone in a remote cabin near Eagle Creek. One woman stepped out to fetch water—and never returned. The other, hearing screams and howls, rushed to the window, only to glimpse something so terrifying she could do nothing but pray and barricade the door. When the men came back that night, they discovered a gruesome scene: the woman’s body, brutally trampled, with massive hoof prints marking the ground. Witnesses would later describe an eerie figure—towering, red, and ridden by a devil. All this and more on this thrilling installment of Expanded Perspectives Elite!

• The Crate

  In this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off by discussing the drastic temperature shift in North Texas, which leaves Kyle battling a stubborn head cold. Then, they dive straight into the bizarre, starting with a chilling eyewitness account from July 1990 in Kentucky. A group of friends, hanging out behind a factory, stumbled upon a strange wooden crate—something inside was desperately trying to break free. When it finally did, they were left in shock as a monstrous 3.5-foot-tall gnome or troll-like creature with glowing red eyes emerged. Next, a camper encounters a wild, feral woman digging in the dirt, while a Swiss army officer has a mysterious run-in with an eerie figure in the woods. Then, things take an even darker turn as a Glimmer Man or demon-like entity chases a group out of the forest—only to follow one of them home. Meanwhile, strange lights appear in the forest as hair-covered grey beings attempt to break into a house. And if that wasn’t enough, a witness observes a colossal snapping turtle locked in a fierce battle with a group of feral pigs. All this and more on this thrilling episode of Expanded Perspectives!

• The Trout Lake Monster and More

  On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off by discussing Muay Thai and Cam's recent trip to Colorado—one that, surprisingly, did not include snow. Then, strange encounters unfold: A South Texas mobile home park resident witnesses shimmering humanoid figures engaged in an eerie, silent exchange. Who—or what—were they? Meanwhile, a 911 dispatcher receives a chilling phantom call from a woman who has already passed away. In Kentucky, an angry gnome manifests in the woods, causing a young girl to faint, while a persistent witness reports multiple sightings of the legendary Trout Lake Monster. Ontario, Canada, is known for its stunning lakes and rivers. Still, it also harbors tales of mysterious lake creatures—none more intriguing than the Trout Lake Monster. This elusive, serpent-like entity has been part of Native folklore for generations. In 2010, a bizarre 15-foot carcass with fur and a horned, gargoyle-like head surfaced, fueling speculation. Some hailed it as hard evidence of the creature's existence. Still, scientists identified it as a decomposing giant otter—yet before further study could be conducted, the corpse mysteriously disappeared. Was it a hoax or proof of an ancient cryptid? Next, a Michigan couple has two eerie encounters with a human-faced feline resembling the legendary Jinmenken—both on Halloween night. A flying humanoid is spotted elsewhere, and Bigfoot's handprints are discovered. All this and more on another thrilling episode of Expanded Perspectives!

• No Ordinary Man

  On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, Kyle is flying solo in Skelekin Studios as Cam spends the week with his family in Colorado. Recently, Kyle and his son Luke checked out the new Wolfman movie, which tells the chilling story of a family at a remote farmhouse under siege by an unseen predator. As the night unfolds, the father undergoes a terrifying transformation into something utterly unrecognizable. While it takes a fresh approach to the classic werewolf genre, the film still delivers an enjoyable experience. Later, Kyle dives into some intriguing listener stories. The first comes from someone who believes their recently deceased grandmother tried to contact them through the telephone. The second tale involves a chilling encounter with a phantom light, rumored to belong to the ghost of a motorcyclist. After the break, Kyle shares even more strange and fascinating encounters.

• Tree People and More

  In this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the hosts kick off the new year with personal updates, including Cam’s family bouncing back from illness and the rare sight of winter snowfall in Texas. A wave of nostalgia follows as they reminisce about childhood favorites like Jolt cola and giant Pixie Stix. After the casual banter, the episode takes a mysterious turn. The hosts delve into eerie encounters, beginning with the enigmatic Tree People of the Shenandoah Valley. This historically rich region, stretching 140 miles through northern Virginia, is nestled between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Alleghenies. Once the edge of the American frontier and later a pivotal Civil War battleground, the Shenandoah Valley’s past echoes through its preserved landmarks, unique architecture, and vibrant communities. The intrigue doesn’t stop there. The episode also uncovers chilling stories, including a Not Deer sighting in Chicago, a Skinwalker encounter in Arizona, a possible botched alien abduction, a haunted house built on protected faerie land, and the unsettling discovery of a green metal door standing alone in the middle of the woods. Was it merely an abandoned structure, or could it have been a portal to another dimension? All of this and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives!
