We have a special guest co-host with us today… they are the creator of Kiwi’s Cryptid World, they are an artist and photographer and turns out... they are also the love of my life. Her name is Christina. Tonight, our story starts in Bulgaria and ends in the cosmos. Baba Vanga was a Bulgarian woman who lost her sight as a child. In 1923, at 12 years old, Vanga claimed that she was caught in a tornado and thrown into a field. After the storm, she could not be located and her family assembled a search party. After nearly 72 hours, Vanga was found. She was frightened, bruised and covered in dirt. She was cleaned and doctors addressed her superficial wounds but they found that she could not open her eyes. Vanga told them that her eyes hurt and felt as if there was sand and dirt inside of them. She claimed that she had her first vision during that storm. She eventually lost her sight over the following years. Her visions of the future became stronger during those years as well. Over time, she became world renowned for her accurate predictions which included the death of Hitler, Stalin, the Kennedy brothers, and numerous presidential elections. With this episode, we'll tell you about her life, her past predictions and what she said is in store for us for 2024 and beyond.

I Want to Believe the Podcast – S5 2022 Halloween Special – Death and Exorcism Open: Exorcism of Emily Rose Trailer | Closing song: Eyes Without A Face by Billy Idol Clips throughout episode: Buzzfeed Unsolved Welcome to the I Want to Believe podcast and our Halloween special for 2022! A familiar voice is back with us for the spooky season, friend to the show, Valerie Lofaso.  The Exorcism of Emily Rose was a 2005 horror movie about a young woman who had become possessed by several demons. The movie was based on true events… in this episode, we’ll be sharing those events with you. Anneliese Michel, the woman that Emily Rose was based on, grew up devoutly Catholic in Bavaria, West Germany in the 1960s. When she was 16, one day at school she blacked out and was seen walking around in dazed state and unresponsive to those who approached her. Though Anneliese did not remember what happened, friends and family told her of the trance-like state she had been in. Little did they know, this was only the beginning.  After numerous exorcisms of Anneliese ended in tragedy, her parents and priests involved were charged with her death. Was it temporal lobe epilepsy and Geschwind syndrome as the prosecution presented? Or was it actual demonic possession, which the defense argued? Listen to the episode for the whole story and decide for yourself. - My latest spooktacular book, We Only Come Out at Night, is available for purchase.

I Want Believe Season 5: The Scream | A True Story (written by NK Kranda, performed and produced by Nomar Slevik) Closing song: Lullaby of Woe by Ashley Serena NK first posted her experience on her FB page, the following is an excerpt from her original post (shortened due to character limit in Anchor's shownotes) Caution : This post contains guns, possible assailant, possible assault in progress, and a bunch of other fuckery. Ye be warned. Enter night #2. It is Sunday night. I have gone into town for groceries and am eating a very healthy dinner of carrot cake. I am locked in my car and I have my privacy blankets up. I am in my pajamas. The time is close to about 6:40. 6:45. I am getting ready for bed. The parking lot is completely empty. No other campers or hikers. Then I hear it... Have you ever heard a woman not just scream, but she is screaming straight from every inch of her throat to her diaphragm? I have. It is what I imagine people think of as a blood curdling scream. It is worse than that. I scramble for my pistol and check my phone. No service. Another scream. This time paired with a "HELP ME.... HEEELP MEEE!!!!!!!" We all know that the first rule of the woods is to not follow screaming things into the woods at night. Especially alone. This is how one dies. Not just in horror movies either. But here I am. Pajamas on. Door open. Pistol raised. Standing barefoot in a deserted parking lot. Should I try and follow the screams? Is it a bobcat? Is it a mountain lion? Is it some kids fucking around? I don't even have a flash light. Where are my shoes? This parking lot is completely unlit. Fuck. The scream comes again and interrupts all my thoughts. It is the same pitch of screaming to death, complete with the words help me and stop. Even worse she sounds farther away now, like she is being dragged or carried deeper into the forest. Instinct or training or adrenaline or all 3 take over. I raise the pistol high above the woodline and fire. My only thoughts now are to be as LOUD as possible. Hopefully a park ranger will come. Hopefully the shot scared the attacker or animal and it will leave the area. Still in the state of shock or whatever it was, I fired 2 or 3 more rounds high above the woodline. Then I see it. And I feel it. About 30 yards away from where I'm standing is the mouth of the trail. What probably wasn't, but looked very much like a shadow person, appeared suddenly against the light sand of the mouth of the trail.It regarded me for a long second, then decided to charge at me. Fast. I dont know if I drove away with my van door still open, or maybe it closed on its own.... but I got the hell out of there and drove to a ranger station. A ranger was close by, and seeing me shaking in the car asked me what was wrong. I told them I heard a woman screaming and noises in a certain parking lot of a certain trail. Strangely, he did not question me further. The ranger said thank you, then left in the direction of the trail. I then continued to leave the park for the night. I didn't stop to put my shoes on. Didn't stop to find my glasses. Just drove and drove and drove until I found a gas station about 45 minutes away. I called one friend babbling about what happened. I was terrified. I woke up the next morning to the sound of rain on my car. No woods. No screaming. Just a gas station. So my friends, even when we are far away from the Appalachian Mountains...... Rule #1 : That is probably not a woman screaming.

I Want to Believe the Podcast – S5 EB1 – Jersey Devil Origins: Bonus Remix Episode Open Song - Jersey by Queen Latifah Close Song - Just Another Day by Queen Latifah Welcome to the I Want to Believe podcast!  This is the first bonus episode of season 5 and the first episode recorded in 2022. We’re doing things a little different with this episode. We actually covered the Jersey Devil back in season 2, episode 5. But as with a lot of our earlier seasons, we were novices at podcasting and our audio quality was lower. Much like our updated and remixed Dover Demon episode, I’m giving the Jersey Devil the remix treatment. This will include audio samples from various television shows and youtube channels. Before we jump into the episode, we wanted to provide the I Want to Believe social media & email links. My brand-new book, We Only Come Out at Night, is now available for purchase. This book is a collection of short horror stories and can be found online at: SlevikStore.Company.Site and at the Green Hand Bookshop. The story of the Jersey Devil goes back almost 3 centuries. Since then, it has become a muddled heap of myth, legend, true stories with believers and skeptics. How’s about we dive in from the beginning. The legend begins with the Pine Barren forests of New Jersey and a woman named Mother Leeds. She had given birth to 12 children, and in 1735, she found that she was pregnant with her 13th. The Leeds family was poor and when they found that she was pregnant again, she cursed the child and said, “Let this one be a devil!” This is where the typical legend of the Jersey Devil begins, but when you do a little bit of research, there’s a lot more that comes to the surface. Despite 1000s of encounters, the real story might just be humble, human beginnings. Included: political intrigue, Quaker in-fighting, almanacs, a royal governor, and a man named Benjamin Franklin.  Let’s get into the possible origins of the Jersey Devil… ---- Samples used in episode:  Monster Quest | Lost Tapes | LNA | Uncommon History  Colossal Cranium | Rudolf Steiner | MrRhexx Sources:  CSICOP.org | WeirdNJ.com

At approximately 11:30 pm. on the evening of March 17th, 1978, 39 year-old service engineer, Ken Edwards was making the 15-mile journey home following a union meeting in Greater Manchester. By all accounts, Edwards was a straight-laced, hard working man who was not prone to wild flights of fancy or belief in the paranormal. Nevertheless, as the exhausted Edwards drove down an isolated stretch of road through the mostly derelict industrial district where the Risley atomic energy complex was located, something utterly unbelievable snared his attention… Edwards claimed that he first spied what he thought was a “man climbing,” but he quickly realized that he was looking at a gargantuan, humanoid figure lumbering down the steep embankment adjacent to the nuclear facility. The startled engineer immediately hit the brakes and his van slowed to a halt near the curb of the road some 50-feet away from the hulking humanoid, which was now illuminated by his headlights. Edwards stared in astonishment at this bipedal beast as it lurched down the hill with its arms outstretched, utilizing strange, stiff-legged movements.

While viewers of WGN-TV were watching the 9 o’clock news, all seemed normal as Dan Roan, a local sportscaster, was going over the highlights of the Bears' victory over the Detroit Lions. Without warning, the TV signal flickered in and out… and then televisions went dark. In WGN’s control room, technicians looked on, confused at what was happening. It was from their studio, located at Bradley Place in the north of the city, that the network broadcasted its microwave transmission to an antenna at the top of the 100-story John Hancock tower, seven miles away, and then out to tens of thousands of viewers. After a moment, the studio crew realized that their signal had been hijacked. Viewers then saw a suited figure fade in from the darkness. The stranger danced around while wearing a ghoulish rubbery mask with sunglasses and a frozen grin. Chris Knittel of Vice wrote, “Static hissed through the signal; behind him, a slab of corrugated metal spun hypnotically. This was not part of the regularly scheduled broadcast.” Listen to the episode for the rest of the story... Sources: Motherboard/Vice

As they drove, they noticed a strange light behind their car on the right side of the road. After a few moments, however, the mysterious light maneuvered over their vehicle and appeared to be pacing the car from the left side of the road. Sinikka, who was driving, reported that as the UFO passed overhead her ears felt plugged up and she had trouble hearing properly. After a few moments of the light following them, they screeched to a stop at the edge of a field in the hopes that the light would continue on and no longer follow them. Instead… the light vanished. They sat there stunned, processing the event that had just occurred. Moments later, before they could even talk about the odd light, the friends witnessed a small entity in front of their car.

I Want to Believe the Podcast – S5 E8 – #CULTure: Fear in Northern Maine Open Song - The Power by SNAP! Close Song - Cult of Personality by Living Colour Clips in episode from: What Makes Something a "Cult" by I Am Your Target Demographic Also contains one clip from Blankenship's Facebook Page Welcome to episode 8, season 5 of the I Want to Believe podcast! The word “cult” is typically considered pejorative. And it seems the groups themselves tend to evolve into different archetypes. From destructive to doomsday cults to political and polygamist cults, and more. They all have varying definitions when considering pop culture, academia or whichever lens someone chooses to view a cult through. During the 1960s, the counterculture movement in America was about peace, love, and happiness. Historians say that freedom of expression was the cornerstone of both the Civil rights and the Vietnam anti-war movements. But by the 1970s, America was filled with violent faiths and deadly cults. Charles Manson, Reverend Jim Jones, and many other cult leaders became common names in American households. During parts of 2019 and 2020, the people of the small northern Maine town of Saint Agatha were concerned that a cult had started to take root in their quiet and safe hamlet.

I Want to Believe the Podcast – S5 E9 – The Yuba County 5: California’s Dyatlov Pass Incident Welcome to episode 9, season 5 of the I Want to Believe podcast! Open Song - I Don't Wanna Live Forever by Taylor Swift & ZAYN Close Song - Don't You (Forget About Me) Clip in episode from - Searching for the Five by Nexpo In 1978, five men mysteriously disappeared on a mountain in California. Tragically, a month later, most of their bodies were discovered. Kyle and I actually covered this story in season one… but we were just novices at podcasting, not that we’re professionals at this point, but our audio quality has gotten better and we thought it would be good to revisit this unsolved case. The strange circumstances surrounding their deaths have since been referred to as the American Dyatlov Pass Incident. The mystery, heartbreak, twists and turns, and the numerous unanswered questions likens this case to a group of 9 Russian hikers that were found dead under mysterious circumstances in the Ural Mountains in 1959. There have been countless television shows, movies, and podcasts about that case. In fact, there’s a recent documentary called, “An Unknown Compelling Force” available on Amazon Prime. With all the information available about that incident, we will not be covering it here. We will, however, share what is known about the Yuba county 5 story in just a moment.

We successfully changed platforms by moving to Anchor (at one point I thought I had deleted every episode of every season, thankfully, I did not). We tried out a format change where Kyle hosted by himself (UFOs & Marconi Scientists from S4). If you’ll indulge me for a brief moment, I’d like to say that I think we were able to pull off a successful season 5.

Over the course of March 14 & 15, 1975, members of the Baker family encountered a series of unexplained events. It all began in Wisconsin’s Ashland County in the town of Mellen. The area is known for its hiking trails, natural waterfalls, and pristine nature. But like most areas in the Midwest, and, might I add, the Northeast… there is much more to the small town than meets the eye. “…within its borders a rich history of strange and unusual legends, bizarre encounters with unknown creatures, and peculiar sightings of unexplained things both in the sky and on the ground. Mellen, as you will soon find out, proves without a doubt that appearances can be deceiving and that just below a location’s Mayberry surface typically rests a plethora of X-Files cases just ripe for the picking.” Play the episode to find out what was in the road...

(Swamp Dweller) | Warminster Skywatch 1967 (Earthvisitor3) Warminster Thing Photo Welcome to a special Holiday episode of the I Want to Believe podcast! In early 1965, odd rumors began to circulate through the small English town of Warminster. Bizarre sounds had been heard on the morning of Christmas 1964, which would be followed by a long period of strange sightings. Soon, Warminster was swarmed by UFO enthusiasts, all wanting to learn about “The Thing.” Before we jump into the episode, here are the I Want to Believe social media & email links.

This book is a collection of short horror stories and can be found online at: SlevikStore.Company.Site and at the Green Hand Bookshop. Valerie’s Tangled Web of Friends book series can be found on Amazon. Michael Whelan wrote, “Odd sightings and sounds were reported irregularly in Warminster, dating back to as early as the 1930's - incidents that predate the second World War, as well as the advent of the modern science fiction genre. However few and far in-between, bizarre encounters around Warminster seem to pre-date the rest of the world's UFO craze by several decades.” The early reports mainly consisted of odd sounds described as "crackling & scratch-like". The reports of bizarre sounds continued through the ‘30s, ‘40s and ‘50s. However, it wouldn’t be until December of 1964 when rumors of something otherworldly may be taking place in the small hamlet. A local journalist’s article about the bizarre encounter was published in the Warminster Journal in January of 1965. The article actually became the newspaper’s most popular story ever published in its history... listen to the episode for the rest of the story.

The state of Maine has approximately 17.5 million acres of forested land. And the number of living trees is estimated to be 24.4 billion. We’ve got a lot of woods, and within those woods, is a lot of history. An entire podcast series could be dedicated to the history of Maine’s forests and its inhabitants. But for tonight, I’ll be sharing the creepier side to one of Maine’s smallest forests. And, was a murder/suicide that occurred adjacent to a trail in those woods become the catalyst to a haunting?

Some people were sickened by the film’s imagery and violent scenes. Some claimed to have fainted, vomited, suffered heart attacks, and more. Despite all the chaos, most movie goers loved the movie and it was the highest grossing, R rated horror movie until the 2017 release of IT.  Years before “Based on” or “Inspired by a true story” would ever be seen on the screens of countless horror movies, the general public, at that time, were mostly unaware of the origins of William Peter Blatty’s book and screenplay. Those origins transpired about 24 years prior to the film’s release.  Before we jump into the episode, I did want to give a reminder that ALL of our I Want to Believe social media & email are listed below. My brand-new book, We Only Come Out at Night, is now available for purchase. This book is a collection of short horror stories and can be found online at: SlevikStore.Company.Site. Valerie’s Tangled Web of Friends book series can be found on Amazon.  In 1949, Blatty was attending Georgetown University when he read an article in The Washington Post titled, Priest Frees Mt. Rainier Boy Reported Held in Devil's Grip. It was written by Post Reporter Bill Brinkley, and according to Blatty, it inspired him to write his 1971 novel, The Exorcist. It was a relatively short article, approximately 500 words, and read in part, “In what is perhaps one of the most remarkable experiences of its kind in recent religious history, a 14-year-old Mount Rainier boy has been freed by a Catholic priest of possession by the devil, Catholic sources reported yesterday."  Listen to the episode to hear the whole, reportedly true story about how Roland Hunkeler became possessed and eventually exorcised.

Music at the bottom of the episode: Ladies First by Queen Latifah featuring Monie Love Welcome to the I Want to Believe podcast! Last year, as I was researching, recording, and editing season 4 of this podcast, I tend to transfer files from my desktop to my laptop... during one of those transfers, I lost a whole bunch of files that I was working on, including this episode. After a while, I assumed that I had accidentally deleted the episode. Fast forward to a couple weeks ago, while searching through some folders unrelated to the podcast... I FOUND THE EPISODE! I probably accidentally pasted it into a folder.. I'm kind of a dummy, haha. So now, I am proud to present, the lost episode of Mary Ellen Pleasant.  Many have called her the Mother of Human Rights, but others will try to convince us of something more sinister. I’ll tell you about Mrs. Pleasant in a second… Before we get to the episode, a quick reminder that ALL of our I Want to Believe social media & email links are below.

A New York Times posthumous obituary byline states that Mary Ellen Pleasant was born into slavery, that she became a Gold Rush-era millionaire and a powerful abolitionist. While some claim that her life seems to have been shrouded in a bit of mystery, she certainly was a successful 19th-century American entrepreneur. It is estimated that she was born around 1814, some say on a Georgia plantation while her autobiography states, insists actually, that she had been born in Philadelphia. Sacramento writer Susheel Bibbs wrote, “Her life is so enshrouded in mystery because she was her own spin doctor. Pleasant wrote three autobiographies -- but each one contradicts the other on basic facts, such as the year of her birth.” Play the episode to learn more about Mary...

As the teenagers drove past a loose, stone wall, Bartlett noticed some movement out of the corner of his eye.

Welcome to season 4 of the I Want to Believe podcast! Well holy shit, 2020 am I right? I know it’s currently 2021, I say this because this podcast’s format is to write, record, and edit the entire season at the tail end of one year, and then release all episodes at the start of the new year. I’m recorded this particular episode on a late August night in 2020 and for me, our future as Americans couldn’t be more unknown but also AND ultimately… that future is up to us. Which may be just as equally terrifying as it is hopeful.  Oh, another thing before we dive in is that my co-host Kyle Sawyer is unavailable this season due to Covid. He’s fine, safe and healthy but lives upstate from me, which has piss-poor internet service and getting together in close proximity to record is undesirable, so as a result, we are unable to record together. Now, with that said, we do keep in touch as much as we can and he has agreed to a special phone appearance at some point during this season. So, you will hear from him on one of these upcoming episodes! As usual, a quick reminder that ALL of our I Want to Believe social media & email are listed below.

Some Slender Man sightings present the creature with long tentacles, branches, or claws emerging from its back. Stories often cite that the Slender Man stalks victims of its choice, often driving them insane before stealing them away. The mythical creature is also said to steal away children and has many cults following it. The Slender Man is known to leave its victim’s organs in plastic bags hanging from trees.
