In what has to be one of the most intriguing, confounding, and flat-out jaw-dropping flaps in the annals of ufology, a roughly 300-day stretch in 1970 and '71 plunged Finland into an unprecedented wave of high strangeness. Citizens across the country were left stunned by the sudden emergence of tiny, space-suit-clad beings—entities that seemed to hail from a reality heavier, slower, and infinitely stranger than our own… creatures who proved more than capable of harming anyone foolish enough to try to capture one.

For those who find themselves slipping into the untethered realms of high strangeness, the only thing weirder than a run-in with an anomalous animal: is a confrontation with an un fathom able "thing" that not only defies classification but is in possession of powers beyond comprehension. These curious critters range from the merely odd to the utterly insane, but one thing is absolutely certain… once you've see one, your world will be never be the same again.

In 1949, a man driving along the Pan American Highway en route to Lima, Peru, caught sight of a large, glinting object hovering over the desert floor. Though he could have little expected it, this chance encounter would send him careening into the world of high strangeness and make him the focus of one of the most bizarre cases in the whole of ufology.

For centuries an aristocratic Scottish family were said to hide a terrible secret; one that gave rise to rumors of a quasi-humanoid creature kept hidden from the world within the crumbling stone walls of the highland castle they called home; a diabolical descendant who’s appearance—thanks to a witch’s odious spell—was so distressing; so damnably revolting that it was dubbed the “Monster of Glamis”.

In what has to be one of the strangest sagas in paranormal lore, a star-crossed British family endured a maelstrom of moist mayhem when, in 1933, they became the victims of what was referred to as a “water ghost” but which modern supernatural scholars have re-branded a “hydro-geist”. This wet wraith’s reign of terror lasted for 6-months and left both paranormal historians and the soaked survivors perplexed as to why it had chosen to attack them The Cryptonaut Hotline: 315-370-6853 The Cryptonaut Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cryptonautpodcast The Cryptonaut Podcast Merch Stores: Hellorspace.com - Cryptonautmerch.com Stay Connected with the Cryptonaut Podcast: Website - Instagram - TikTok - YouTube- Twitter - Facebook

Across time, space and the infinite bandwidth of consciousness itself, individuals from all walks of life are clashing with a nefarious breed of etheric arthropods that feed not on flesh and blood but psychic energy; leaving their victims a hollow shell of their former selves and exposing a thus far hidden—and for many horrific—realm of reality.

Anyone who’s served in a time of armed conflict knows that few things can compare to the chaos, confusion and constant fear of war. The stress that puts on a human being is tremendous and, for many, debilitating. But, for an even unluckier few, these already anxiety inducing situations were made all the worse by the addition of aggressive eight-legged atrocities who were as eager to kill as their enemies at the front.

For many the sight of a spider of any size is enough to trigger an anxiety attack, but—lurking in some of the most remote pockets of the world (and sometimes far too close to home)—are an array of enigmatic arthropods; massive monstrosities so aggressive, so utterly terrifying that they’d make even the most ardent spider lover’s blood run cold.

On the cusp of the 20th century, a group of horrified Hoosiers claimed to have encountered something utterly unexpected lurking in the murky, mud-filled depths of the paranormally plagued Ohio River; a group of vicious, quasi-reptilian humanoids that locals swiftly christened: “Mud Mermaids”.

From a kindhearted spirit tucking in a farm kid on a cold Washington night, to a reeking, rotting canine corpse haunting a California townhouse, and finally to a jealous Tennessee entity that hums, laughs, and floods rooms with blinding light—three firsthand encounters reveal the paranormal at its most tender, terrifying, and downright bizarre.

In the 1990’s, a military doctor found himself serving in one of the most remote outposts on Earth: McMurdo Station, Antarctica. It would be during his 11-month stint that the doctor’s worldview would be shattered by a stupefying series of disclosures involving colossal kaiju, international intrigue, mad science, black budget genetic atrocities, archaic abominations and—as if it could get any worse—an army of mutated man-spiders with a taste for human flesh; all of which confirmed that the world’s superpowers were not only aware of the malevolent monstrosities roaming the White Continent, but that they were, in fact, doing their best to weaponize them.

To some, Antarctica is a pristine, windswept landscape filled with austere beauty. For others—especially those unlucky enough to stumble across its indigenous inhabitants—the continent at the bottom of the world is a frigid, Lovecraftian hellscape filled with baffling behemoths and flesh eating fiends so malefic they defy the imagination.

In what has got to be one of the most bats**t crazy paranormal encounters on the books, a woman was relaxing in her Northern California home when she claimed to have encountered a bevy of increasingly bizarre beings, all of which coalesced into a whirlpool of metaphysical madness representing what may well be one of the last great paranormal vortexes in the United States.
