Description

⚠️ Content Warning: This episode contains descriptions of a prolonged nighttime encounter with unidentified entities and themes of intense psychological distress. Listener discretion is advised. September 4, 1964. Tahoe National Forest. A 28-year-old aerospace engineer named Donald Shrum got separated from his hunting party as the sun went down. He climbed a tree to wait out the night. Then something descended from the sky. A cylindrical craft, thirty feet across, hovering silently above the clearing. A hatch opened. Two humanoid figures emerged — four and a half feet tall, silver suits, dark goggle-like eyes. Then a third figure. Mechanical. Built from dark metal. Eyes that glowed red. They came for him. And for twelve hours, he fought back. He used his bow and arrows. He lit flares. He burned his hat, his money, his clothing. He used his own belt buckle to reflect light into their faces. He tied himself to the trunk so that when the gas knocked him unconscious, he wouldn't fall. And when they climbed toward him — faster than anything that size should be able to move — he screamed like a wild animal until they retreated. He made it to dawn. He went back to his job. He told almost no one for nearly a decade. In this episode, Bubah and Z tell the full story — the encounter, the investigators who took it seriously including Dr. J. Allen Hynek and Dr. James McDonald, the seven theories for what happened that night, and the detail no one can fully explain: why did a brass belt buckle seem to stop them? Donald Shrum died in 2020 at the age of 84. He never changed his story. Not once. Have you seen something you can't explain? We want to hear it.

episode Something in the Woods: The 911 Calls That Haunt Kitsap artwork

Something in the Woods: The 911 Calls That Haunt Kitsap

⚠️ Content Warning: This episode contains descriptions of a frightening creature encounter, the death of a pet, and discussions of multiple sightings across decades. Listener discretion is advised. Kitsap County, Washington. June 1990. A man is home alone. The woods press close to the windows. He looks outside and sees something standing at the edge of his yard. Eight feet tall. Covered in dark hair. Not moving. Just watching. He doesn't call a friend. He doesn't call family. He calls 911. Two weeks earlier, his dog had been thrown thirty-five feet over a nine-foot fence. Dead before it hit the ground. He called 911 for that too. In this episode, Bubah and Z play both calls — including the one most people have never heard — and break down what happened in those woods. They trace the pattern of sightings surrounding Kitsap County from the 1924 Ape Canyon incident to the Olympic Project, Ruby Creek, and the twenty-two documented Sasquatch sightings on nearby Bainbridge Island alone. They talk to the researchers who took it seriously and give the skeptics the full weight they deserve. The caller never gave interviews. Never identified himself. Never came forward. He just wanted to report what he saw — and then disappear back into his life. The police found nothing. No tracks. No evidence. Whatever was standing in that yard had vanished. The woods don't answer. The woods never answer. But his voice — his fear, his confusion, his desperate need to be believed — that still echoes. Had your own encounter in the Pacific Northwest — or anywhere else? We want to hear it. You don't need to use your real name.

The Alphabet Murders: Rochester's Unsolved Nightmare

⚠️ Content Warning: This episode contains descriptions of child murder, sexual assault, and strangulation. Listener discretion is unequivocally advised. Interstate 490. Rochester, New York. November 17, 1971. 5:10 p.m. Dozens of drivers are heading home from work. The highway is crowded. The sun is setting. And on the side of the road — visible to every single person passing by — is the body of a ten-year-old girl. No one stops. Her name was Carmen Colon. She had been missing for eight hours. And she would not be the last. Over the next two years, two more girls disappeared from Rochester. Wanda Walkowicz, 11. Michelle Maenza, 11. All three were abducted in the afternoon. All three were sexually assaulted and strangled. All three were left on the sides of busy roads, visible, almost as if the killer wanted them to be found. And all three had double initials. C.C. W.W. M.M. The Alphabet Murders. In this solo episode, Bubah walks through the full story — who these girls were before they were victims, the details of each disappearance, the deeply flawed multi-agency investigation, the suspects who were questioned and never charged, and the fifty years of silence that followed. He examines every theory, gives the families the weight they deserve, and asks the question that has haunted Rochester since 1971: Who killed the Alphabet girls? The Monroe County Sheriff's Office lists this case as open and active. The killer has never been found. Carmen. Wanda. Michelle. Three girls. Three families. Fifty years. Still waiting for justice.

episode Echos from my Life artwork

Echos from my Life

⚠️ Content Warning: This episode contains descriptions of alleged creature encounters including disturbing humanoid entities, unexplained sounds, and potentially frightening situations. It also contains personal reflections on loss and grief. This one is a little different. Before we get to the creatures — and there are some genuinely unsettling ones — Bubah has something to say. In the last several months, life has delivered a series of losses. A stepfather. A woman who was like a grandmother, whose pecan pie recipe died with her and whose restaurant gave Bubah one of the best friendships of his life. Friends from high school, taken too soon. And most recently, Pops — one in a million, a man who loved his '65 Chevy truck, built a Yenko Camaro clone from scratch, and made a road trip to pick up a 1950 Chevy coupe one of the best days Bubah can remember. Each of them left an echo. This episode is for them. With Z taking a well-earned break, Bubah sits down solo to share four listener encounters that came in from across the country — Pennsylvania, Oregon, Oklahoma, and Florida. Each one is different. Each one is unsettling. And each one shares a thread you'll notice the longer you listen: the feeling of being watched, eyes that don't blink, and a silence that comes right before something wrong steps into the light. A teenage girl in Bucks County who almost walked up to something that looked like a baby until it turned its head and grinned. A trail worker at Crater Lake who lost two hours of his life standing over a set of four-toed tracks. A couple camping in Norman, Oklahoma, whose nights were watched over by an owl — and ended with something chasing her husband through the brush. A young girl in Pasco County, Florida, who turned around in her own bedroom doorway and found something standing there that smiled at her. Bubah ties each account to the folklore of its region — the Squonk, the Below World of Crater Lake, the Ozark Howler, and the ancient tradition of the threshold creature — and asks the question that sits at the center of all of it: are these stories evidence of something real, or echoes of the same fear we've been passing down for centuries? And at the end, a reminder that life is short. Hold your people close. Make memories worth echoing. If you've had your own encounter — a creature, a sound, something in a doorway — we want to hear it. You don't need to use your real name.

The Nightmares That Came True: The Disappearance of Cindy Anderson

The Nightmares That Came True: The Disappearance of Cindy Anderson ⚠️ Content Warning: This episode discusses the 1981 disappearance of a 20-year-old woman. It contains descriptions of stalking, threatening phone calls, and a possible drug-related motive. Listener discretion is strongly advised. In the weeks before she disappeared, Cindy Anderson told her family she was having nightmares. Over and over, the same dream — she was abducted. She was murdered. She kept her car keys on a chain around her neck, even inside the house. She checked her locks before bed. She told the people she loved that something bad was going to happen. They told her she was being silly. On August 4, 1981, Cindy left her apartment in Oregon, Ohio, to drive to work. She was 20 years old, ten days away from quitting her job to attend Bible college and become a teacher. She arrived at the law office where she worked as a legal secretary. She locked the door behind her. She turned on the lights, the radio, the air conditioner. She answered phones as late as 10 AM. And then she was gone. Her car was found locked in the parking lot. Her purse and keys were missing. Her uneaten lunch was on her desk. The radio was still playing. And a romance novel lay open to the only violent scene in the book — a passage about abduction. The emergency buzzer installed at her desk after weeks of threatening phone calls and stalker graffiti on the wall outside her window was never pressed. In this solo episode, Bubah tells the full story — the nightmares, the harassment, the last morning, and the forty-four year silence that followed. Cindy's mother died in 1982. Her father died in 2008. Neither got an answer. Her sister Connie is still waiting. Someone knows what happened inside that office.
