The I Want to Believe Podcast is a small corner of the internet where the paranormal can flourish and strange stories take precedence. Hosted by author Nomar Slevik, this series shares unexplained encounters with high production value (kinda) and engaging narration. Stories include alien abductions, the black-eyed kids, Bigfoot, winged creatures, unexplained disappearances, ghosts, and much more. You can expect a new episode every month.
A Maine Made Podcast | Since 2018
Welcome to season 8, episode 2 of the I Want to Believe podcast!
Tonight, we’re doing something a little different. Christina and I will be remixing an old episode from the third season of the podcast! I have done this previously with the Dover Demon (https://open.spotify.com/episode/6iBWhTP0o967svrQnb9CF8?si=B4o27mKQTL2xwt3NbWdSQw) episode and the Falkville Metal Man (https://open.spotify.com/episode/1FTkgxbGtce4fLJtT8Oesl?si=a2fknv_bTgmXdwMOvNTgEg). A remix includes a re-recording of the original episode, an updated script, and additional audio. We hope you enjoy.

S8 E1 | From the Woods: Stick Figure Encounters from Maine
Welcome to season 8, episode 1 of the I Want to Believe podcast! Happy new year and welcome to the season premier !!!
Tonight, I will be sharing three strange stories from Maine. In each unique encounter, witnesses stumbled across strange humanoid figures in the woods... figures seemingly made of sticks and branches. The first story is my own! I saw something really weird in February of 2020. And my girlfriend also had a strange experience in 2023.
