   UNEXPLAINED NEW YORK: Big City Danger, Rural Horrors, & Shadowy Beasts!

   From the lights of Broadway to the wooded roads of upstate New York, eight unusual reports take us into the Empire State’s unexplained side. In this episode of Phantoms & Monster Radio, we examine a family account of an alleged wolf-like creature on Broadway in 1911, an upright canine encounter in Sleepy Hollow, a towering horned figure in Freeport, and a tiny fairy-like being near Lake Erie. We also explore a terrifying Christmas-night roadside encounter, a military veteran’s claims of Sasquatch activity at a nuclear storage area, Dan Aykroyd’s mysterious Manhattan encounter with a black sedan, and an extensive Hartwick report involving a dark flying humanoid, strange calls, and disturbing activity inside a home. These accounts are presented as reported experiences, recollections, and interpretations, not verified proof of paranormal activity. Where details conflict or evidence is limited, we address those distinctions. Which report do you find most compelling? Have you experienced something unexplained in New York? Share your account in the comments, including the approximate location and date, while respecting everyone’s privacy.

   UNEXPLAINED NORTH CAROLINA: Disturbing Encounters from the Swamps to the Smokies

   What followed a hunter out of Green Swamp? What approached a lone hiker near Waynesville on two legs? Why did two children insist they could see a wolfman in their grandfather’s backyard when the adults beside them saw nothing? Tonight on Phantoms & Monster Radio, UNEXPLAINED NORTH CAROLINA brings together eight unsettling reports from the state’s swamps, rural communities, and western mountains. The presentation includes: • The historical account of blood-colored rain in Chatham County in 1884. • A hunter’s reported pursuit by an enormous black cat in Green Swamp. • An upright canine encounter near Waynesville in July 2021. • A clothed wolfman reportedly visible to two children in Cleveland County. • A childhood encounter with a strangely shaped figure near Brown Mountain. • A camper’s account of a reptile-like humanoid in the Smoky Mountains. • A search for a missing cat that led to a disturbing discovery in the woods. • An unverified claim of a military operation against aggressive Sasquatch in western North Carolina. These accounts are presented for discussion and examination. They include personal recollections, a secondhand report, historical claims, and an unsupported allegation of military involvement. Their inclusion does not prove the events happened as described. Have you experienced something unexplained in North Carolina? Share your account in the comments, including the approximate location, date, and what you observed. Which of tonight’s reports do you find most puzzling?

   UNEXPLAINED APPALACHIA: Something Is Always Watching from the Woods

   Heavy footsteps beside a tent. A pale humanoid crossing a wooded road. Yellow eyes beyond a flashlight beam. A driver’s fragmented memories of a possible abduction. Join Lon Strickler on Phantoms & Monsters Radio for UNEXPLAINED APPALACHIA, a collection of 12 witness accounts and report summaries from Pennsylvania, Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Kentucky, and northern Georgia. Tonight’s presentation includes an unsettling night in Michaux State Forest, hikers reportedly followed through the Virginia woods, an alleged Bigfoot encounter near McAfee Knob, a canine-like creature in eastern Tennessee, heavy movement in the treetops near Jack’s River Falls, unexplained lights, and a reported 2007 abduction in southwestern Virginia.
