Welcome to Arcanum Obscura: A Podcast of Exploration. We’ll be talking about and discussing obscure subjects like strange unsolved cases, the paranormal and supernatural, cryptids, anything bizarre that interests us. And as we talk about the topics the conversations will almost 100% branch off into random things. We’re your hosts and friends Chris and Nate and we really hope you enjoy the stories we find and bring to you, hopefully get a few laughs along the way and feel like your here with us.
Well, this is it, it's been 6 years, we've laughed, we've cried, we've... talked a shit ton about death and murder and monsters. To be serious, we did this because we enjoyed doing it, we never chased numbers or followed analytics yet somehow for a short time we became a #1 True Crime podcast in some country I can't even remember AND got ourselves banned in Singapore (which is even cooler). We joked a lot about the 2 fans we had, and we were shocked when we found out we had so many, I don't recall the number because it was years ago but it was shocking to see. To sum it up, we thank you all for listening to us, we hope we brought you interesting stories and hope we made you laugh at times as well, after all, our goal was to make this not a deep drive but to feel like just hanging out with friends and talking. Thank you once again to all of our listeners, the world is scary right now, especially our own country, stay safe, be kind and farewell.

The Toybox Killer
This week we go back a bit to darker crime, David Parker Ray aka The Toybox Killer. And a huge trigger warning for this episode. We've probably all heard this horrid story and all about this monster, I myself have seen a few documentaries and crime shows about him only recently did I actually find and hear the infamous cassettes he would play. So this week, instead of how we normally do true crime we talk a little then in his own words via the cassette audio the monster describes the atrocities he commit. The way he talks and describes things in a tone like its normal feels more impactful and shows what a true monster he was then if we just talked about the atrocities.

The Moss Bluff Beast
Nate brings an interesting story this week, a relatively local cryptid I hadn't heard of yet, a strange humanoid like creature, a slaughter of a settlement, then a slaughter of the killers, and the cryptid perhaps something akin to a spirit or entity of vengeance, pretty cool little story.
