Expanded Perspectives

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off with a heartfelt conversation about the legendary Chuck Norris—reflecting on his iconic films, larger-than-life persona, and the impact he’s had on pop culture over the years. Then, they dive headfirst into a series of chilling and bizarre encounters. From a group of goblin-like creatures spotted among a remote boulder field, to reports of a towering giant seen in El Salvador, the stories only get stranger. You’ll also hear about unsettling encounters with feral wildmen deep in the forests of Tennessee. And if that’s not enough, the episode features multiple terrifying Dogman encounters—including one harrowing story where three hunters are surrounded in their remote cabin by something unknown. The creature circles them all night… scratching at the walls… breathing just outside… and at one point, even tries the doorknob—as if testing whether it could get inside.

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, Kyle dives into a collection of spine-chilling, one-off encounters that blur the line between the ordinary and the truly inexplicable. We start in the dense woodlands of central Indiana, 1985, where a routine squirrel hunt turns into a nightmare. One man’s tranquil afternoon shatters when he witnesses something immense and ape-like descend from the treetops—a creature so enormous, so unnatural, it leaves him certain he is staring death in the face. This isn’t an isolated sighting; the region has a history of strange, upright figures and encounters that suggest the forest may hold more than just trees and wildlife. From the shadows of the Indiana woods, we move to the sun-scorched deserts of Kelvin, Arizona, where four men searching for turquoise make an encounter stranger than science fiction. A UFO descends silently from the sky, revealing not monsters or aliens, but a family—two men, two women, and three children—dressed in casual clothes, unpacking a barbecue, toys, and a picnic in broad daylight. And when one of the men approaches the witnesses with an oddly human comment about rocks, the mystery deepens: are these beings extraterrestrial, or something far closer to home? Finally, we step inside the quiet terror of home, with two chilling “creature-in-the-house” stories. In The Corner Man, a young boy awakens to find a shadowy, humanoid figure watching him from the darkest corner of his bedroom. In The Hallway Crawler, an eleven-year-old faces something crawling down the hall at night—its movements disturbingly human, yet painfully wrong, leaving a lasting fear of the darkness itself.All of this and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives!

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, Kyle kicks things off by recounting a recent trip he and Luke took to San Antonio for a horror festival—an event packed with eerie atmosphere, strange encounters, and plenty of inspiration for the unexplained. From there the show dives straight into a series of chilling listener stories. One woman shares a disturbing encounter deep in the woods of West Virginia, where she claims to have stumbled upon what appeared to be a clan of feral people living far from civilization. Another strange report comes out of rural Arkansas, where a witness describes a large, Bigfoot-like creature sneaking onto her property and stealing chickens in the dead of night. After the break, Kyle explores a far more unsettling corner of folklore and legend—the terrifying side of the world’s little people. Most people imagine these beings as harmless figures from fairy tales: gnomes beneath toadstools, fairies dancing in moonlit glades, pixies darting through the trees like sparks of light. Across many cultures, these small humanoids are said to dwell in hidden corners of the world, quietly watching from forests, caves, and ancient hillsides. But not all of the stories paint such a gentle picture. Kyle examines darker legends of mysterious tiny beings reported across the globe. From the eerie tales of the Ebu gogoon the Indonesian island of Flores, to the clawed, nocturnal river creatures of Cuba known as the Guije, and the mysterious underground builders of Hawaii called the Menehune. Along the way, the discussion even touches on the real-world discovery of Homo floresiensis, the tiny ancient humans uncovered on Flores—nicknamed “the Hobbits”—and the unsettling possibility that some legends may have deeper roots in reality than we once believed. From strange sightings in Epping Forest to bizarre wartime encounters on the windswept cliffs of Orkney Islands, tonight’s episode explores the darker side of a legend most people think they understand.

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, Kyle and Cam announce the release of their brand-new book, Glimmer Man: Cloaked Beings That Move Among Us — and take you deep into the mystery that inspired it. What would you do if you came face to face with something that shouldn’t exist? In this chilling installment, the guys explore multiple eyewitness encounters involving a bizarre, translucent, human-shaped entity often called the “Glimmer Man.” From darkened bedrooms to remote wilderness trails, from quiet apartment balconies to isolated hunting grounds, the descriptions are strikingly consistent. Witnesses report a tall humanoid figure that appears to bend light around itself — shimmering like heat waves rising off hot pavement — moving with impossible speed, agility, and near-total silence. Spanning decades and reported across North America and even parts of Europe, the pattern is hard to ignore. Those who’ve seen it describe a being that is: Is it a spirit? An interdimensional entity? Advanced extraterrestrial technology? Or something far older that has always moved just beyond the edge of our perception? What is it — and what does it want?

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys delve into the dark, unnerving world of shadow beings. From fleeting silhouettes at the edge of your vision to the infamous Hat Man, these shadowy figures have haunted human consciousness across cultures and centuries. Witnesses describe tall, featureless shapes that evoke a feeling of dread, sometimes accompanied by paralysis or an oppressive presence. Are they merely neurological tricks—products of sleep paralysis and hypnagogic hallucinations—or is there something far more sinister lurking in the corners of our reality?

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the boys emerge from the grip of a recent storm, only to step straight into something far colder and far stranger. From the frozen woods of Virginia, a group of U.S. Marines find themselves stalked by something massive—something that should not exist. In Ohio, a quiet night shatters when a mother and daughter come face-to-face with a shimmering Glimmer Man. Half a world away, an Australian listener recounts a disturbing encounter with something small, ancient, and very much alive. Then Kyle takes us deep into the world’s darkest green hells—the Amazon and the Congo—where the jungle swallows light and reason alike. Tales of impossible creatures emerge from the shadows: living dinosaurs, colossal serpents, and giant man-eating spiders. Alongside whispers of lost cities and forbidden places, one truth becomes clear—the jungle is not just alive… it is watching.

On this ice-cold episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off by talking about the bitter winter weather gripping north-central Texas before diving headfirst into absolute madness. From Cam’s questionable plan to fabricate a jaw-dropping deathbed confession just to mess with his family, to nostalgic memories of tearing around on old three-wheelers, things quickly spiral into the truly bizarre. Listeners will hear chilling encounters involving a three-foot-tall troll watching someone sleep, an alien casually out for a walk with its pet Sasquatch, missing time, alien abductions, and even a lifeless mannequin that wasn’t as lifeless as it should’ve been. Strange, hilarious, and deeply unsettling—this is one wild, frozen ride you won’t want to miss on Expanded Perspectives! Sponsors: IQBAR Want to Share Your Story? Want More Expanded Perspectives?

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys ease into the show under a haze of seasonal sickness—allergies in the air, Saharan desert sand drifting across Texas skies, and the familiar fight against the flu. But comfort doesn’t last long. The conversation quickly slips into darker territory when a group of teenagers trespasses into the decaying shell of an abandoned hospital… only to be chased out by something far from human. A violent encounter with what they believe was a Dogman leaves scars—and questions—that still linger. Next, a chilling account from Canada unfolds, as a seemingly ordinary neighbor reveals a disturbing secret that will leave you stunned. From there, Cam dives into a wave of unsettling sightings in the Hoosier State—glowing orbs hovering in the night, strange figures, and encounters that defy explanation. The discussion continues with a possible Not Deer sighting, blurring the line between the familiar and the profoundly wrong. They also take a brief detour back to 1986, revisiting a year packed with unforgettable films—before reality once again bends toward the bizarre.

The first episode of 2026 begins quietly enough, with the boys reflecting on the long holiday nights and the strange sense of time that comes with the turning of the year. But before long, familiar territory gives way to something far more unsettling. This episode descends into the shadows with reports of a possible goblin sighting, a chilling Sasquatch encounter from the backwoods of Oklahoma, the restless ghost said to stalk the shores of Pawleys Island, South Carolina, and a forgotten maritime account in which a Spanish galleon is allegedly attacked by creatures pulled straight from legend—mermaids.

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, Kyle is solo in Skelekin Studios and ready to chase the strange. A listener opens the show with a childhood memory from their grandparents home in Oregon, a moment that still feels out of place in the real world. After the break, Kyle turns to the Cash-Landrum incident in Huffman, Texas, where two women and a young boy stumbled onto a blazing, diamond shaped object on a dark road. The heat, the hovering craft, the sudden arrival of unmarked helicopters. The story has never fit neatly into any box. Was it something from another world or a military project the public was never meant to see? Later, an eyewitness in Illinois reports a gargoyle perched in a tree, watching in silence.

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, Kyle kicks things off with his undying love for every kind of water you can imagine. Cam is packing up and heading to Kansas for a deer hunt, and the guys talk a bit about that before the break. After the break, Kyle shifts the mood with a set of strange and unsettling Shadow Being encounters. What are these figures, and what do they want? One of the cases comes from Dan J of Barstow, California, who had a frightening run-in with two eerie entities back in early 2011. Those figures match what many in the paranormal world call Shadow People. The Official Shadow People Archives describes them as dark silhouettes that often look human but carry no clear features. Some wear what look like hats or hoods. Some appear solid while others drift like smoke. Some float from the waist up. Others sprint out of sight with visible legs. They slip into corners, walls, closets, behind TVs, or vanish into the night. The only trait they all share is an almost impossibly deep darkness.

In this episode of Expanded Perspectives, Kyle and Cam dig into the chilling stories of alien abductions, missing time, and the lasting—and sometimes deadly—effects these encounters have on those who claim to experience them. What really happens when someone is taken against their will by unknown beings? Are these visitors conducting experiments, or is something deeper going on? Join Kyle and Cam as they unpack witness accounts, psychological patterns, and the unsettling question at the heart of it all: Who are they, and what do they want from us?

In this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off with Kyle realizing he may have jinxed his favorite hockey team after bragging about their undefeated streak on the last Elite show. From there, things take a darker turn with a few chilling stories guaranteed to set the mood. After the break, it’s all about Dogman sightings—what exactly are people seeing out there? Are these encounters truly increasing, or are more people simply finding the courage to speak up? Could the Dogman be a demon in disguise, a Skinwalker, or something even more sinister?

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, Kyle is flying solo in Skelekin Studios — but don’t worry, the strange and the unexplained are still on the way. First up, a story from Southern California: a man hears heavy footsteps crossing his garage roof in the dead of night. When he shines his flashlight upward, he comes face to face with a towering, red-eyed figure — something that’s definitely not human. Then we jump back to August 1975, when three kids in Davenport, Iowa, watched a massive, winged creature shimmer into view before vanishing into the night sky. After the break, Kyle shares a few tales of nature striking back — when animals turn the tables in unexpected ways. All that and more, coming up on Expanded Perspectives.

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, Kyle and Cam share some big news about their upcoming studio move and the launch of filming the show. They also recap their recent trip back to Memphis, Tennessee, where they shot the Ducks Unlimited Halloween special. From there, the guys dive into a string of eerie encounters before Kyle takes things south of the border with a chilling story of a blood-draining Chupacabra. For decades, tales of this mysterious creature stalking goats and livestock have fueled nightmares across Latin America. First reported in Puerto Rico in the mid-90s, the so-called “goat sucker” has since carved out a permanent place in folklore and pop culture.

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off with some chatter about the rare cool weather in Texas and the fast-approaching deer season. Kyle makes it clear he’s no fan of gourds, while both of their schedules are packed—live speaking events, filming with Ducks Unlimited, and their new Glimmer Man book now in the editor’s hands. After a quick PSA on how to pick the perfect alias (hint: two first names will do), they dive into a set of wild stories—including one involving what a witness calls The Hollow Man. Was it a spirit, a ghost, the Glimmer Man, or something entirely different? All that and more in this episode of Expanded Perspectives. Sporsors: AnthropicReady to tackle bigger problems?

Then, the story takes a strange turn with a witness who saw a hairy creature with a ghostly white face crawling on all fours.

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, Kyle flies solo in Skelekin Studios. He kicks things off with exciting news — the long-awaited Glimmer Man book is finished, sent to the editors, and on track for release soon. Then, Kyle revisits one of the most famous UFO encounters in history: the 1961 abduction of Betty and Barney Hill. Driving home late one September night, the couple spotted a strange light in the sky. What began as curiosity quickly spiraled into terror — the object followed them, hovered low, and revealed figures watching from inside. Moments later, the Hills heard an unsettling series of buzzing sounds, and their memories fractured. By the time they reached home, two hours had vanished without explanation. In the days that followed, physical evidence and disturbing dreams deepened the mystery: torn clothing, scuffed shoes, magnetic anomalies on their car, and vivid visions of being taken aboard a craft. Under hypnosis, both Betty and Barney described nearly identical experiences of medical examinations and encounters with non-human beings. Were their memories the product of suggestion, stress, or sleep paralysis? Or did the Hills truly become the first widely publicized abductees in modern UFO history? Their story continues to spark debate, making it one of the most enduring cases of all time. All that and more on this episode of Expanded Perspectives!
