Almost Canon

This week we talk about Bigfoot in Vermont otherwise known as the Green Mountain State. Vermont is one of the smallest states in the Union but it is incredibly wooded. At 4.5 million acres of forested land and about 78% of the state, it's no doubt Sasquatch have been reported in Vermont for hundreds of years. we'll start by going over some of the more well known encounters and then dive into a book by Jason Lorefice called Vermont Bigfoot Encounters and Beyond, where we find some pretty interesting information even I didn't know about.To help Almost Canon grow, please leave...

As winter firmly wraps it's icy fingers around us, I thought it would be more than appropriate to dive into three first hand encounters that deal with one of cryptozoologies most misunderstood entities....the Wendigo.So this week, as we come back from our hiatus, we kick the new year off with three incredibly chilling stories. The first deals with a hunter, who is in turn, hunted by the creature, while hunting deer in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The second is a story about a stranded snowmobiler who comes face to face with something he had heard about since...

Things have been crazy but the holiday season is just above over and we'll be able to return to our regular scheduled programming! Until then, here's a re-release of our fan favorite Christmas episode, which goes all the way back to the first year of Almost Canon. We cover all sorts of Christmas related traditions. Traditions that date back to Roman and Greek festivals, Saint Nick, even how ancient pagans tripped out on red and white mushrooms and had to enter their homes through the chimneys! Hosted on Acast.

After hearing from friend of the show, Thom Pollard, and being told about an abandoned campsite found not too far from me, in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, I decided to cover two Missing 411 cases that have fascinated me for 15 years. Our first case takes place in Washington State and involves a climber who seemingly disappeared from the end of a climbing rope, almost as though he unclipped and stepped out into the sky. The second case involves a climber in California who vanished in broad daylight from the middle of an empty snow field on one of...

You'll be getting two episodes this week. One is a re-post in honor of hunting season, a time of year where unsuspecting, non-believers, find out the hard way that there are things out there we can't explain. Just like the main subject in this episode. So our guest tonight has hunted a family plot for years and on this particular year, he and his daughter came face to face with a beast, they could only describe as Bigfoot. They then ran for their lives, out of this area locally known as 'the Gulf' and back to the safety of their...

I wasn't able to finish all my notes for this weeks episodes. So while I finish whipping that up, here's a repost of an encounter a woman had with a patient who was often seen at the hospital she worked at. Except this time, she had a front row seat, sitting just in front of the woman's room. Now, she wasn't a nurse, but she did witness some very strange activity coming from the room, activities that would suggest the woman was possessed....

This week we take a look at one of the strangest Missing 411 case you've probably never heard of, I know I hadn't up until this point. We heard a lot about Dennis Martin, Stacy Arras, or Sammy Boehlke, but there are so many missing children within the page of the Missing 411 book series its not surprising there are cases that don't seem to get a lot of attention. And the Case of Douglas or "Dougie" Legg is one of those cases. So sit back, relax and enjoy this weeks episode.

This week we take a trip back to 18th century France and investigate the Beast of Gévaudan. Was it a werewolf? Maybe a rouge wolf or some exotic creature. I mean, the reign of terror brought on by the beast was well documented and still we have no idea what exactly the beast was! So on this episode we'll talk with Wen from Cryptozoology Facts, who just so happens to be somewhat of an expert on this topic and maybe she can help bring a little more clarity to the mystery that has been dubbed....The beast of Géva...

On this Columbus Day we figured it would be a good idea to remind people that Columbus certainly didn't discover 'America'. Nor did he even make it to main land North America. However there was a group of Europeans who did! and they did it almost 500 years before Columbus set sail from Spain. These Europeans were the Greenlandic Vikings and according to their sagas of old, They may have made it as far south as Massachusetts and as far west as Minnesota In this episode Nick goes over several Viking artifact discovered over the last couple hundred years, some of...

After that we re-listen to another story of a haunted house in New Hampshire. This is one of the best ghost stories we've heard on the show and stands several generations, going all the way back to the 1870's, where an assault on a young...

We often hear that 'we know more about the surface of Mars than we do of our own oceans'. So is it possible that there are still large undiscovered species out there to find? After all, we have hundreds, if not thousands, of years worth of sailing stories that tell of the monstrous kraken, a creature so large its arms could reach the tallest sail and pull ships beneath the waves. But is there any evidence of their existence? Check out this weeks episode for more! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this weeks episode we look through the historical record at a handful of giant races and ask the question: "could they be Nephilim?" There certainly seems to be certain traits that these giant races share even though they are often separated by thousands of miles. Could it all be a coincidence? We don't think so. After all, all myths and legends have some sort of truth.

In fact mankind has been recounting  their encounters with the unknown since the dawn of time.  Whether through the written word, oral traditions or even glyphs carved on stone, human beings have found a way to share their stories.      Now, we have seen myths and legends of all kinds. From gods and goddess to entirely new worlds and realms. We’ve read countless stories of epic quests, Buried treasures and dangerous monsters. But out of all the myths and legends we’ve seen throughout history, there are two that are repeated time and time again: th...

We have covered the Bennington Triangle in several episodes throughout this show, so what I wanted to do this week was bring on someone how knew the Bridgewater Triangle in and out.

So this week we talk with Phill from the popular paranormal YouTube channel Exploring With Phill. Phill has been investigating the Bridgewater Triangle for years now and has spent countless hours with the...

On this weeks episode we do things a little differently.

Fairies and fae-folk aren’t just magical entities from European folklore. While their stories have become one with Americans due to our mixing pot of different cultures, very similar creatures can be found in a wide variety of Native American and First Nations folklore. So if these beings can be found in not only Europe but also America could they be real? Much like every culture around the world has a ‘Sasquatch’ every culture around the world has a fairy, elf, gnome, troll, giant, even entities like the Tuatha Dè Danann and the Anunnaki can be found throughout the world. So this...

For this Fourth of July we'll be talking with someone who has been experiencing something strange in their colonial era house! Most people don’t bother to look into the histoey of their home let alone the city or town where they live. But for our guest tonight, history plays a huge roll in what might be going on in her home.      Now most homes we see today are fairly modern, built within the last fifty or sixty years. Not all of them of course, my house was built in the 1890’s, making it nearly 140 years old. Now not many of us can...

This week We take a closer look at my all time favorite Play Station franchise Uncharted. We start by taking a deeper look at game 1 Drake's Fortune.    This game not only pushed the limits on what the newly released play station 3 could do but on what a newly released video game could do. Uncharted drake’s fortune was nothing short of a technical masterpiece that paved the way for countless other games. It also utilized motion capture unlike anything that came before resulting in a cinematic experience that was unlike anything seen before.     Now we aren’t a video game show. We’re...

As part of our unofficial strange stone structures in New England series, I've decided ti reedit and remaster one of my favorite episodes, episode 9, Vikings in America. Officially, we know vikings landed in Newfoundland around 1000 AD but the history books say they didn't stay long and this has never sat well with me. We know vikings were great explorers, always looking to the horizon for something new. so I find it hard to believe they found a vast new world and choose to only stay a few years and there seems to be countless pieces of evidence supporting the fact...

Even though we're two weeks out now, we honor D-Day on this episode by going over some incredibly disturbing and very frightening horror stories from the Second World War. This episode was meant to drop last week but due to technical issues I've patched it up and decided to treat our listeners with not only an Almost Canon + bonus episode but this early drop as well. So this week we talk with Mick Strange from Chasing Bad about several creatures seen by not only American GI's but also British and Indian soldiers as well. these creatures include the Inlabuut from...

This we we talk with Heidi who grew up in what could possibly be New England's most haunted city Lowell, Mass. The fires of Industry burned more than oil and coal in Lowell as the Industrial Revolution kicked off and those fires very well could have produced the first entity our guest ran into at a very young age. the figure of a charred body would sit next to Heidi's bed at night and some time hit and beast her resulting in a trip to the hospital. but it didn't stop there! Heidi would end up meeting another dark entity...

This week we talk with Vance, who had rented a house with his wife in Northern Cambria, Pennsylvania. Every seemed to be going great but it didn't take long for them to notice something wasn't right.

This week we talk with Mark from My Family Thinks Im Crazy podcast. As we're both from New England, we figured talking about a New England mystery would be best.Stone walls are often over looked. There are countless miles of them and their literary everywhere you look here in New England. But were they really been built by farmers in the 1800's and what about all the stone chambers, who built those? if not farmers then who? Was it Vikings? Maybe the Celts or Phoenicians? Or what about giants or an ancient unknown race of indigenous peoples? These are...

This week we talk with Matt Emch from the Youtube channel Planet 412. Matt take the time to tell us an incredibly frightening dogman encounter that happened to him while he was a teenager in his home town of Youngstown, Ohio.

Don’t fo...

The holy Bible, one of, if not the most published  pieces of literature the world has ever seen. This collection of stories, Part spiritual guide part history book, is said to have been inspired by God and has influenced the wider world for thousands of years.     The 66 different books that make up the Bible cover everything from the creation of the world to Adam and Eve’s banishment from Eden; to Noah’s ark and the flood;  as well as the stories behind the Tower of Babel and the walls of Jericho, which come crashing down. It tells us of the birth of...

This week we talk with Author Robert Guffey and cover as much ground as we can in 3 hours! we start with Operation Mindfuck and end with Chameleo, covering just about every thing you can think of in between.    I became aware of Robert Guffey’s work several years ago, 2016-2017, after he published a book called “Chameleo: a strange but true story of invisible spies, heroin addicts and homeland security”.  This is a story that I believe doesn’t get the attention it deserves and is the reason I wanted to have Robert on in the first place. This story has its roots...

On August 30th 2023 Russel Ruby escaped from captivity and went to find help. We would quickly find out that Russel"s mother Ruby Franke had been working with a friend, Jody Hildebrandt, to rid both Russel and his sister Evie of Demonic possession or so they believed.

We also have several Adventures planned where we'll be filming what we find and uploading those videos. Either way look forward to our special Tuesday episode it came out of no...

Somewhere deep within the Himalayan mountain range is a world lost to time.  It’s often described as heaven on earth, a paradise locked between the cold, rocky peaks and frozen jagged ice sheets of this towering mountain range.     Now  this paradise is entirely different than its cold frozen surroundings.  There are hot springs and warm flowing waters; green rich jungles and colorful flowering plants throughout a hidden, lost valley. Within this valley  time is said to slow down and those who live there live for ever. But stories like this are seen throughout the world.  History is chock full of lost and mythi...

On this episode we start by detailing two encounters we recently received from listeners. One about a UFO encounter in the 1970's that caused not only the listeners car to stall on the main road but the three cars behind him to stop as well and the second story is about a family that moves into a house where something horrible has once happened and they were having to deal with the repercussions of that act. Then Nick moved onto the topic which in honor of FX's Shogun and the release of Rise of the Ronin, is Japanese folklore. Nick...

This week we stay close to home, almost literally in my back yard, and listen to three incredible encounters from right here in the Green Mountain State.Our first story involves a young woman and her friends who experienced something very strange while on the outskirts of Springfield Vermont one night in 1997. You can make up your own mind, but her story has all the hallmarks of an alien abduction. mysterious lights and sensations; missing time; no memory of what happened except for an intense feeling of dread. This encounter also happened not far from the ancestral home of James...

*please forgive my backwoods Vermont pronunciation. I do not speak Gaelic and probably couldn’t even if I tried*In honor of Saint Patricks day, I decided that delving into some ancient Irish folklore would be a great idea, especially with all the talk of Nephilim; Anunnaki; Djinn and of course portals, these days.Now when one thinks of saint patricks day they may think. Of, pots of gold, four leaf clovers, corn beef and cabbage,  green beer and most importantly leprechauns.     These little shoe shining creatures have found their own place in popular culture. I know personally,  “the Leprechaun” was one of if n...

On this week of Almost Canon we bring on Mick Strange and talk potential international conflict, fast planes, covert recovery teams, dead Mexican soldiers, suitcase nukes and crashed UFO's! In the summer of 1974 American radar tracked a fast moving object that came in over the Gulf of Mexico looked as though it was about to enter American airspace.

Due to some last minute schedule changes, I have remastered one of our original episodes and it's a good one! Could a Portland Arcade game be connected to the CIA and their attempts to brainwash American citizens? We start by taking about our experiences with arcades and the history of the arcade. We then get into the subject by looking over the CIA and some of their crazier plans to over throw governments and the weird experiments they attempted. We then wrap it all up by going over some of the more ‘real world’ explanations for Polybius. This is a supe...

This week we bring on professional mountaineer and treasure hunter/legend seeker Adam Palmer to discuss British Columbia's most famous lost treasure story....Slumach's gold. Adam is a professional mountain guide within B.C. and has used his skill as a mountaineer to search some of the hardest to reach locations within the Pitt Lake area. He is also opened minded and while still skeptical, he's interested in the paranormal.
