UNEXPLAINED: The 1954 Florence UFO  Join Josh as he dives into one of the most bizarre mass UFO sightings in European history: the 1954 Florence UFO Incident—when a packed soccer stadium looked to the skies and saw something no one could explain. What began as an ordinary match between Fiorentina and Pistoiese suddenly halted when metallic, cigar-shaped objects appeared overhead—and a strange, fibrous substance began to fall from the sky. With thousands of eyewitnesses, unexplained physical material, and no official follow-up, this case blurs the line between documented fact and unsolved mystery. Look up, listen close, and remember: sometimes, the truth drifts down in threads too fragile to hold. Follow us on Instagram @outtherecryptids and support the show on Patreon @outtherecryptids.

CRYPTID: The Night Security at a Zoo Story Join Josh as he steps into the eerie world of Reddit’s NoSleep subreddit to read “I Used to Work Night Security at a Zoo”—a chilling firsthand account from a guard whose routine shift turned into a night of terror. What began as strange animal behavior and faulty equipment soon spirals into something much darker—something not found in any cage. With mysterious sounds, missing creatures, and a figure that shouldn’t exist, this story explores the thin line between the natural and the unknowable. Turn off the lights, listen closely, and remember: some zoo exhibits are better left unseen. Follow us on Instagram @outtherecryptids and support the show on Patreon @outtherecryptids.

Is he a shared hallucination? A product of sleep paralysis and fear? Or is there something darker feeding off our terror? With real accounts, cultural connections, and eerie theories, we’ll dig into why this entity has haunted so many—and why, once you see him, you might never forget him.

Or is it just the brain connecting subconscious dots—or something far stranger? Whatever the truth, one thing’s clear: sometimes, the warning signs aren’t just in our heads. They’re real—and they might be trying to tell us something. Follow us on Instagram @outtherecryptids and support the show on Patreon @outtherecryptids.
