Tennessee’s mountains, forests, rural communities, and abandoned places have produced some of the most extraordinary unexplained creature reports in Appalachia. In this episode of Phantoms & Monsters Radio, Lon Strickler presents eight disturbing eyewitness accounts from across Tennessee. These cases include a whitish-gray Bigfoot known locally as the Cherokee Devil, a massive creature that appeared to vanish through a dimensional opening near Roan Mountain, repeated encounters with a seven-foot black canine humanoid, a nearly invisible entity running through the treetops of Antioch, and a red-eyed, featureless being observed in an abandoned northeastern Tennessee town. The presentation also examines a bizarre white reptilian humanoid that approached a vehicle near a cemetery, a feathered winged humanoid seen ascending to the roof of a Columbia residence, and a mysterious yellow-eyed entity that remained completely unaffected after being fired upon with a shotgun near Jonesborough. Several witnesses reported missing time, slowed perception, glowing eyes, overwhelming dread, unexplained screams, apparent cloaking, and creatures capable of moving in ways that defy normal physical limitations. Were these witnesses encountering undiscovered animals, supernatural manifestations, interdimensional beings, or entities connected to the Appalachian landscape itself? Join Lon Strickler as he examines the testimony, patterns, and possible implications behind these compelling Tennessee encounters.

Here is a return to Santon Downham in Norfolk at the lair of the former Reverend Richard Kendall, Esq who passed over in the 17th century, but is still very much in evidence during paranormal investigations. Lots of swearing was recorded inside the former church, and a few light anomalies too. This transpired to be a very interesting investigation, and we hope you will enjoy this too.

In a highly requested show from the vault, the gang discusses a wide range of topics including reports on an otherworldly character named The Grinning Man and why so many lighthouses seem to be inhabited by the ghosts of children.

Lou and Ron discuss the Statue of Liberty and the haunting of the Windham Restaurant

In 1982, an 18-year-old dropped dead after playing the arcade game Berzerk — and decades of half-truths, copycat rumors, and a real murder at the same machine turned it into legend. We separate fact from fiction on the Berzerk curse and its shadowy cousin, Polybius, the government mind-control game that may or may not have ever existed.
==========
HOUR ONE: It’s rumored that an arcade game from 1980 might lead to the real death of its players. We’ll look at the death curse of Berzerk. (The Berzerk Death Curse, And The Polybius Urban Legend) *** And another arcade game in the early 80s was surrounded by controversy – because the game never existed, despite so many saying it did. Or did it exist? We’ll look at the urban legend of Polybius. (The Urban Legend of Polybius)
==========
HOUR TWO: Was Stanley Stiers the real-life inspiration for Michael Myers in 1978’s John Carpenter film, “Halloween?” (The Real Michael Myers) *** The last known words of Peter Rugg were “Let the storm increase! I will see home tonight in spite of the last tempest, or I may never see home!" Over two-hundred years later and he has yet to make it home – but that hasn’t stopped his tempest! (The Eternal Ride of Peter Rugg) *** Imagine attending college for several years, only to find out that the whole time you’ve been studying on top of the corpses of thousands of mental patients. That’s exactly what happened in 2013 when The University of Mississippi made plans to expand parking for their students and staff. (The Corpses Under The University of Mississippi) *** Dealing with a ghost or two is awful enough – but what if you’re attacked by a whole gang of ghouls? It was reported as real news in 1889’s Chicago Tribune! (A Whole Gang O’ Ghosts) *** People With Super Powers!

SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: Michael Bryson disappeared on August 5th, 2020 from Hobo Campground at Umpqua National Forest. He has yet to be found. (The Disappearance of Michael Bryson) *** When it comes to cryptids, you have many to choose from – Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, the chupacabra, the list goes on and on. But I’m willing to bet nowhere on the list of your favorite cryptids, or even the cryptids you’ve ever heard of, do you have an entry for “The Belled Buzzard” of Texas. (The Belled Buzzard Legend) *** When the Black Plague arrived at Eyam's doorstep in the 17th century, its villagers were forced to choose between life or certain doom. It’s the tragic tale of England’s Plague Village. (The Black Plague Comes to Eyam)

Some houses aren't haunted — they're held up. This episode digs into 17th-century witch bottles, 1,900+ documented concealed shoes sealed into historic homes, and the family members quietly erased from history — illegitimate children, hidden relatives, anyone who broke a taboo severe enough to get them written out of the family Bible while their body stayed exactly where it had always been.

We trace it from folk magic and archaeology all the way into psychology: the "Third Resident" phenomenon, where living occupants unconsciously adopt the exact habits of a home's previous residents, and Nicolas Abraham & Mária Török's theory of the family "Phantom" — how an unspoken secret gets passed down to children who never lived it. The conclusion is the same whether you're talking about a ghost or a buried family secret: it only stops haunting you once someone says the name out loud.
