The Anecdotalist is a place to explore the paranormal, unsolved mysteries, urban legends and the extraterrestrial. Each episode, you will hear me tell a story to my friend Jason, who will make comments and ask questions along the way. Our hope is to provide compelling and fun story telling.
UFO historian and investigator, Jeff Rense, explores the 1897 Aurora, Texas UFO incident, uncovering the truth behind the alleged alien crash and its lasting impact on the town's history.

October Spooktacular
The Ghost of Route 44 is a legend that reaches as far back as those in New England can remember. Passed down through oral tradition and legend. They say, if you are unlucky enough to be traveling down Route 44 outside Rehoboth Massachusetts late at night you may have the unlucky pleasure of meeting the red headed hitchhiker.
