But what if next time you opened up your mailbox you were staring down the barrel of a loaded gun? That’s the uncomfortable reality that the residents of Circleville, Ohio had to become accustomed to after mysterious letters started turning up in their town. The letters revealed impossible-to-know secrets and details of sordid infidelities. But who authored the letters? And were they even among the living? Time for Rory and Kit to investigate.

Way back In 1710, strange events started taking place in a small town in Ireland. People were seeing shadowy figures, others were convulsing in fits, and it wasn’t even Saint Patrick’s Day! When the town hunted for an explanation… they ended up finding EIGHT. Today’s case is often referred to as Ireland's Salem, and is believed to be the island’s last ever witch trial.
Under normal circumstances America’s sewers should only be home to a maximum of two things; rats and, at a push, Ninja Turtles. But in 1982 in Buena Park California, a suburb of LA, a gang of teens had a terrifying encounter with something that witnesses would describe as sounding like Godzilla crossed with a gorilla. While some wrote it off as a hoax, before long dozens of townspeople reported seeing and hearing the exact same thing. But what was living underneath their city? Was it really paranormal or some kind of mass hysteria? Time for Kit and Rory to investigate.
In the summer of 1946, people across Sweden began witnessing strange fiery objects fall from the sky and crash to earth. When locals gathered at the sites of impact, they discovered that in the middle of each smouldering crater was… nothing. No debris. No wreckage. It was as if nothing had crashed at all. Before long newspapers across the country were writing articles about the phenomenon known as “The Ghost Rockets”.
We've covered a LOT of cryptids on this podcast before... Bigfoot, the Metal Man and whatever creature it was that sucked a guys jeans off in the woods... but today we're investigating a beast that most people have never heard of before - The Sheepsquatch.

UFOs descending on Manhattan island seems hard to believe but that may be what the aliens had planned when in the 1980s there were hundreds of UFO sightings in New York State, centering on areas like Hudson Valley only a few miles upstate. Many of these sightings came together to comprise one of the most astonishing and well-reported UFO phenomena in US history. But is there enough evidence to convince the skeptics that humanity was really visited by outsiders? Kit Grier Mulvenna and Rory Powers are on the case.
