UNEXPLAINED WEST VIRGINIA: Mothman Lore, Mountain Monsters, & Appalachian High Strangeness

West Virginia has long been known as Mothman country, but the state’s unexplained history reaches far beyond Point Pleasant. In this episode of Phantoms & Monsters Radio, Lon Strickler presents a chilling collection of strange reports from the mountains, forests, mining communities, and backroads of West Virginia and the greater Appalachian region. These accounts include the infamous Vegetable Man of Grant Town, a possible winged omen connected to the 1934 McDunn mine-train disaster, a tall skeletal “Stickman” seen near Harpers Ferry, a bizarre upright deer encounter, Bigfoot-like activity in the Seneca Creek and Spruce Knob backcountry, a terrifying mountain giant with glowing golden eyes, a massive wolf-like creature in the Appalachian borderland, a tiny cloaked Glimmer Man-type figure in Beaver, West Virginia, and a disturbing Black-Eyed Kids encounter in Glade Springs. Are these reports examples of cryptid activity, interdimensional contact, ancient Appalachian folklore, spiritual warnings, or something even stranger?

UNEXPLAINED WISCONSIN: Winged Anomalies, Strange Humanoids & Cryptid Beasts

Wisconsin is known for its forests, lakes, farmland, old mining towns, rural highways, and quiet communities. But beneath that familiar landscape are reports of terrifying encounters with winged anomalies, strange humanoids, invisible entities, black-eyed children, cryptid beasts, and other unexplained phenomena. In this episode of Phantoms & Monsters Radio, we examine a series of disturbing Wisconsin cases, including a terrifying road encounter near Lake Geneva, the legendary Mineral Point Vampire, a winged humanoid seen at the Wisconsin State Fair, a possible angelic intervention in Madison, a Glimmer Man encounter near Sturgeon Bay, a demon-like animal south of Barron, the Man-Bat of Briggs Road near La Crosse, black-eyed children near Milwaukee, a massive figure in Kettle Moraine, and a flying witch-like being near Darien. These reports suggest that Wisconsin may be a corridor of roadside high-strangeness, where witnesses encounter something at the edge of headlights, tree lines, bridges, cemeteries, fairgrounds, and lonely roads. Are these misidentified animals, folklore brought into the modern age, unknown cryptids, interdimensional intrusions, or something even stranger? Join us as we investigate UNEXPLAINED WISCONSIN.
