TIED for #5 & #4:
Expanded Perspectives and Dogman Encounters
Expanded Perspectives
WEBSITE: www.expandedperspectives.com
ABOUT: Expanded Perspectives represents individuals inclined to form one’s own opinions rather than depend upon academics or authorities; especially about ancient cultures, conspiracy theories, science, cryptozoology, social and religious issues. Our open minded views allow us to consider all possibilities regardless of how strange or unusual. Come with us as we explore the many stories, studies and topics through podcasts, interviews, books, blogs and news/magazine articles.
Dogman Encounters
WEBSITE: dogmanencounters.com
ABOUT: If you’ve had a Dogman encounter, I can help you! I’ve helped a lot of eyewitnesses deal with their Dogman encounters. Have you seen a creature that looked like a Werewolf? If you have, you’re not crazy and you’re not alone. What you saw wasn’t a Werewolf. It’s what’s called a Dogman. More people than you’ll ever know have had Dogman encounters. Unfortunately, most of them don’t know who they can talk to about their encounters. That’s where I come in. My name is Vic Cundiff and I help Dogman eyewitnesses deal with the trauma of their Dogman encounters.
#3: Monsters Among Us
WEBSITE: www.monstersamonguspodcast.com
ABOUT: Monsters Among Us Podcast is a show about cryptid creatures and those lucky enough to have witnessed them. Our focus is to provide a platform for witnesses to tell their tale in a safe and encouraging environment. Our mission is to give those with a tale to tell the stage to do so. All stories presented are true to the best of our knowledge so grab a seat, turn off the lights and tune in, boy do we have a story for you!
#2: Strange Familiars
WEBSITE: www.strangefamiliars.com
ABOUT: Strange Familiars is a paranormal podcast that tells stories through a combination of historical research, witness interviews, discussion, and on-site recordings when possible. Join Timothy and his rotating cast of co-hosts (Alison, Chad, Jon, and James) as they legend trip into unknown and forgotten places. We create the entire podcast ourselves - everything from the logo and other artwork to recording, editing, and mixing the audio. Even the background music and opening theme were performed by Timothy's band, Stone Breath.
#1: Sasquatch Chronicles
WEBSITE: sasquatchchronicles.com
ABOUT: Sasquatch Chronicles acts as a safe-haven for witnesses to share their encounters. The show debuted in 2013 on the premise that the existing Bigfoot community was primarily focused on the research and opinion of “experts” while overlooking the value of giving witnesses a voice in the discussion. It is now regarded as the first and most prolific program developed around the framework of giving a stage for regular folks to recount their experiences without pushing any type of outside agenda. People are seeing something in the woods and there are too many reports for this to be ignored. Join us every Sunday night as we discuss recent Sasquatch sightings, encounters and talk to Bigfoot eye witnesses. Listen as we speak with researchers, witnesses and investigators to unravel the mystery of Bigfoot.
Also as promised, here are the Honorable Mentions podcasts! These six cool pods all came in highly recommended just behind our top 10, so we couldn’t leave them out: Astonishing Legends, The Brohio Podcast, Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis, Paranormal Portal, Last Podcast on the Left, and The Higherside Chats!
