Trailer Trash Terrors

This is the first TTT Tidbit episode in a long time. You get to meet Acadia, a feminine cyberintelligence programmed by Boudreaux to give him an occasional "freaking break"! And, I tell you all about the Willowampus! It was pie-bald, the size and general shape of a large wolf, had feathers on the back part of its body and huge wings! Nobody has seen it since 1916...but that does not mean its gone!

In episode 112, I'm joined by Dave Griffith to talk about whether or not Daniel Dunglas home cold have won the James Randi Educational Foundation Paranormal Challenge. I personally don't think anyone can win the challenge, even if they levitate elephants on stage while juggling nuclear weapons and doing a Lady Gaga impersonation.

Here's Boudreaux's intro to give you the full story:

Greetings temporal humans. This is Boudreaux, the nebulo-chaotic, cybernetic ghost from the future. I like that word, that adjective of the week, nebulo-chaotic c. That clearly describes my state of being for this episode.  It means hazy and confused. Even if that is the case, it is my job to welcome you to episode 112 of the trailer Trash Terrors Podcast. In this episode, Vic joins forces with Dave Griffith, and they take a long, albeit entertaining drunkard’s walk through total solar eclipses, Kung Fury, Godzilla X Kong, Krell metal Giant ape cybernetic arms, Ancient astronomers, the Carrot myth, Daniel Dunglas Home, and the James Randi Educational Foundation One Million Dollar Prize. Can you see why I’m nebulo-chaotic? I think I’ll title this episode, The Great James Randi and Daniel Dunglas Home Showdown.

It took 111 episodes of TTT, but finally, I'm publishing a rant episode.

What's it about? Scientists, philosophers, savants, and jugglers are still arguing about that, and may be doing so for many years. Well, it's distantly, about an Australian flat Earther whom I'm calling Huck Goodpasture. That's a great name, huh! We never get to the flat Earth part...at least not in this episode. I also talk civil discourse, or the current lack thereof, unusually large male genitalia, dying alone, being hospitalized during the time of Covid, and how deeply I love stories.

Plus we get the unique perspective of Father Michael Birdsong, host of the Ending the Curse podcast. It should be a good time for all! Additionally, this episode is robot and disembodied consciousness free! They'll be back next week.

In episode 110 of the Trailer Trash Terrors podcast, I am joined by JJ Johnson, host of "Southern" Demonology, and briefly by Father Michael Birdsong, host of "Ending the Curse." We start off talking about the deeply interesting SCP foundation, move to the nature of language, people who base ther identities on fiction. Plus, in a world-first, Beelzebubba sings The Philosophers Song, by Monty Python!

Episode 109 of the Trailer Trash Terrors podcast gives you the latest info on the great Captain Kangaroo scandal, the "Inner Earth," and amazing journalist from the past, J. Francyl Howard, and Mrs. McClendoRodrigoStein to tell all the young ladies anticipating holy matrimony how to sexually tame their future husbands.

Episode 108 is the continuation of Vic Hermanson's hospital stories. You'll hear of the cockroach man, the gangster's shoes, a truly severe case of Munchausen syndrome, Being "invisible," doll's teeth, and two stories of when sex goes really wrong. There is explicit content in this show, if that sort of thing bothers you.

In episode 107, Vic Hermanson presents five stories from his time as an ED, ICU, Surgical, and Medical-Surgical nurse. Some are about the imperfection of all people, some are about truly frightening patients, and some are about the way that humans develop, and maintain hope in even the most difficult circumstances. Part one of three. Sensitive subjects are discussed in this episode.

In episode 106 of the Trailer Trash Terrors podcast, Vic has the one and only Chris James, host of the "Strange Things with Chris James" podcast as his guest. The conversation ranges to how Chris James got started in podcasting, to white creatures under bridges, border patrol pranks, the ubiquitous Laredo girl-child ghost, to the first plane ever used in the US military, and much-much more. There really are VERY few guests who can speak on as many topics as Chris James.

Episode 105 brings us Chris and Dean of The Wandering Road Podcast. They are superlative thinkers, speakers, and students of the paranormal. Have you ever wondered how many people might actually be non-playable characters? How many people have EVER lived? Why religion changes as technology advances? Listen and find out! This week's introduction by request, is made by Beelzebubba, our resident former minion of evil.

In episode 104 of TTT, we hear the astounding story of Tracey, who as a child was protected by benevolent and steadfast apparitions, as she grew in a chaotic and abusive household, outside of Glasgow, Scotland. It's an amazing story.

In part two of this episode we talk about Patience Worth Wee Curran, as child who was adopted through the urging of the original Patience Worth, a 17th century English weaver. It's also an amazing story.

Episode 103 of Trailer Trash Terrors has two guests, both talking about Dowsing. Dave Griffith talks about the use of dowsing in treasure hunting, and how not all dowsers can detect the same things. George Anthony talks about Dowsing as a type of divination, and how St. Helena, the mother of Emperor Constantine used a type of dowsing to find the true cross. Plus, we have lots of other hijinks sprinkled about!

In episode 102 of Trailer Trash Terrors, we see the return of Paranormal Will. He talks about the personal cost of engaging with the paranormal, which can be quite high. He discusses what can only be classified as a deliberate, paranormal attack. Also, Wilbur, the ethereal pest control expert reads a 1976 newspaper article about the "Philip Experiment."

Here's a link to a quite well done documentary about Philip, that was made in 1974.

In episode 101 of the Trailer Trash Terrors Podcast, Vic Hermanson dives deep into the weird world of the Quadro Tracker and similar devices. Schools, police departments, border patrols, and even armies across the globe have bought them, believing these devices can detect explosives, drugs, drug-users, weapons, and essentially any other form of contraband. The FBI and Scotland Yard say they are fraudulent, but customers are happy...and in many cases, very happy. Join Vic for a deep discussion of these devices, as well as the human psychology of belief.

Hear Ye, hear ye! This is the 100th episode of the Trailer Trash Terrors Podcast! I'm proud of that...really very proud. This episode is devoted to two things. First, we have a serious interview with Dr. Bert, a Psychiatrist from Holland, discussing the mysteries of the mind. Second, I relate a Cryptid experience to Dr. Bert that I had only previously told to two people. It was, indeed, a terrifying, life changing event.

Warning: This episode does discuss suicide in a very frank and open fashion.

Thanks for your support through 100 episodes!

Episode 99 of Trailer Trash Terrors centers around an article published in 1934, and written by Francis Dickie, who in many ways, was the Canadian Earnest Hemmingway. The article discusses the return of the "Sasquatch," a tribe of huge men, primitive me, troglodytic men, but men, nonetheless. At that time in Canadian history, the Sasquatch were just generally accepted as an unquestioned part of reality. I hope I did Francis Dickie justice.

If anyone delves into the preternatural world long enough, it is Vic Hermanson's belief that protection against negative forces will sooner or later become required. In this episode, George Anthony, the host of the St. Elias Report podcast discusses the rules of engagement of battling the enemy...the evil enemy. It's a battle in which we must all eventually engage.

This is episode 97 of the Trailer Trash Terrors podcast. Vic Hermanson expand on episode 96 by doing a deep dive and analysis of a series of articles written in the 1941 El Paso Times, about TW Kelley, Highly successful purveyor of human oddities , veterinarian, expert raconteur, and likely expert BS artist. I think you'll enjoy this episode.

This is episode 96 of the Trailer Trash Terrors podcast. It's all about what the world has called "fr**ks," fr**k-shows, their history, and how their impact on society simply cannot be dismissed. To be honest, I think it's one of the best shows I've ever done. Also, Beelzebubba returns! I hate the need to use the asterisks...honest conversation is one of the absolute requirements of a free society.

In this episode Trailer Trash Terrors, guided by Vic Hermanson delves into the subject of apologies. This is an important topic: it's important to human life, and it's surprisingly important in the world of the paranormal. You'll get angry hearing the deception of Peter Popoff, and there will be no remaining question about how weird Vic Hermanson truly is!

IS postmodernism simply another valid step in the ongoing history of philosophical thought, or the death-knell of individuality, human dignity and societal freedom? Or neither? Or something in between? Vic Hermanson talks to a genuine academic expert in the field, JJ Johnson, and they take the long road to find some genuine terrors. Cyrus Thibodaux steps in because Vic Hermansomn has "Covid Voice"

What the heck happened at the Miami mall? Aliens? Demons? Other supernatural entities simply wanting to make a return, or use a supernatural gift-card? Vic Hermanson and the gang of nerds strive mightily, to find out!

I get more questions about Annabelle Lee than any other part of the Podcast. What's her origin story? Where did she come from? Even, "Is she a real girl?" The always beneficent Vic Hermanson has come to the rescue, and here is the origin story of everybody's ambiguously creepy little girl! She also announces a new part of the show..."Ask Annabelle!" (There is one curse word in this episode, unlike most TTT episodes.)

This is the second part of the three part Tendril-Connected World Series. The focus ranges from Art Bell to ascended masters beneath Swiss Mountains and a discussion of the arms of the dragon. It's a fun ride!

Like Neo, do you sometimes feel that you sense myriad existential connections, connections that are far more felt than seen in the world around you? Have you explored these "tendril" and found answers very hard to get? So have I. So have my guests. This is part one of two, or perhaps even three episodes that deeply explore what we might possibly learn about the hidden, tendril connected world. Hint: Sasquatch reports are every bit as important as calculus in exploring this world.

Vic Hermanson takes a "memory-trip" to the bayou's of old Louisiana, learns about the "sons of Esau" in the woods, Catholic tenets, and gets a child's inkling that some moral concepts simply cannot be compromised, at least not without causing extreme damage. There are strong opinions expressed, unapologetically, in this episode, along with the stories and allegories. Listen at your own risk.

In this episode, the 88th overall Trailer Trash Terrors episode, we bid farewell to Dickens, talk about some of the paranormal aspects of his stories, and hear the Anders, Lovell, and Borman message from their orbit around the moon.

In the 87th episode of the Trailer Trash Terrors podcast, we complete the reading of "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens. Yeah, my voice cracks a few times...that means I'm human.

Also, we hear a few seconds of the Mr. Magoo adaptation of the story, a surprisingly great song called "The Lord's Bright Blessing." Annabelle Lee shows us to the door!

God bles us everyone!

This is the 86th episode of The Trailer Trash Terrors podcast. Tonight, we hear the longest of the three staves (chapters) so far, which is the story of the second spirit foretold by Marley, the Ghost of Christmas Present. I can't tell you enough how wonderful the writing is. I just hope I do it some justice in the reading.

At the end, you also get to hear Father Michael Birdsong's Christmas message, and a shout out to the Southern Demonology podcast, and the Strange Things Podcast With Chris James.

"God bless us everyone!"

This is the second Stave, or "chapter" of a Christmas Carol, in which Scrooge encounters the Ghost of Christmas Past. As I read this, carefully for the first time in years, it becomes obvious just what an incredible genius Dickens was, in terms of observing and writing about the human state. He was equal to Shakespeare, Tolstoy, or Rand.

This is episode 84 of the Trailer Trash Terrors podcast. Tonight I interview Father Michael Birdsong, Pastor of Saint Michael and All Angels Church in Thomaston, Georgia. Father Birdsong is an exorcist; a real exorcist. He's talking about the sometimes horrific details of exorcism in other podcasts. But for this episode I wanted to talk to him about the man he is, the life experiences that led him to the point that he could assume the role of exorcist. That's an even more fascinating story.

I truly screwed up on the audio on my track, accidentally recording it with a laptop computer microphone, rather than a professional recording chain. Please forgive the faux-pas. It will not be repeated.

For the next five nights, Trailer Trash Terrors will publish one of the five "staves" or chapters of "A Christmas Carol," read by Vic Hermanson. This is Stave one, Marley's ghost, along with a few comments from the disembodied consciousness gang, and a whole new TTT intro.

EVPs have become a standard part of my podcast recording practice. They show up in almost all of my recordings. So, I thought I would share a few and speculate about where they come from. This show will probably be expanded at some point.

Plus, the whole gang is here! Boudreaux starts the show, Wilbur tells us all about "...them Satanic Mind-worms," Annabelle Lee checks in with a few tidbits and Beelzebubba has a heartwarming Christmas message!

Trailer Trash Terrors, Episode 81, is the full expansion of the interview with Josh, which was the focus of episode 80. He relates, in even greater detail, his experiences with long-term demonic oppression, self harm, and his eventual spiritual healing. Josh, with the help of God, has converted this pain to strength, joy, and purpose. We end the interview talking about profound expressions of faith. Plus Beelzebubba is back!

This episode presents the story of Josh, a young man who has faced , survived, and overcome multiple demons, both figuratively and literally. This story is presented in his own words, in his own voice, with none of the usual Trailer Trash Terrors bells and whistles. This story is profoundly powerful. The recording also has multiple EVPs.

What is Eternity? Does the entire concept of things that never end scare the bejeebers out of you? It can often make Vic Hermanson tremble like a leaf! In this episode we talk about eternity in general and delve deep into the 1981 Stephen King short story, "The Jaunt." It's a great framework for examining the ramifications of a human mind encountering the eternal.

Trailer Trash Terrors goes back to it's basic roots...finding the horror and wonder of the swamps. They are places of mystery, horror, refuge, loneliness and despair. They are places where human minds build their own reality...100 percent independent of our will. Get you snake gaiters on...and let's go on an adventure!

How many microphones is too many? I don't know...but I've sure had a lot of fun trying to find out. I discuss an unusual photograph I found - a surprise momento mori. And, for the first time anywhere, learn all about the "Vic Hermanson Terror Scale." I'm pretty sure, once you hear it, you'll want to tell me how it should change!

Welcome to 76th overall episode of Trailer Trash Terrors!

This is another TTT "grab-bag" episode. We talk about the third century crisis in the Catholic Church, the Arian Heresy, relate that to the current crisis in the Catholic Church and speculate, unapologetically, about the legitimacy of the Francis Papacy.

Then, wham, we switch gears to talk about an 1840 article about a "Wildman" allegedly captured in the Minnesota wilderness and transported, along with two "cubs" to Boston, by Robert Lincoln, Esq.

The Courier Journal published the full written confession of the murderer HH Holmes in 1896. It's a chilling read, and an even more chilling listen. This is an insight into a mind that was...once...human.

Is there possibly a "Universal Moral Field," that influences the myriad and endlessly diverse lives that comprise humanity? What about a "Universal Let's talk about that. Plus, I tell a story from my childhood that made me first question the exact source of morality...as well as evil. Don't expect perfectly formulated arguments...but do expect to have your mind tickled!

This episode talks about Jane Goodall, her treatment by the media, De Loys' Ape, Incredulity, the execution method called Nupta Cadavera, The Einsatzgruppen, and the frailty of the human mind once it has become involved in evil. It's a standard Trailer Trash Terrors Fractal Ride. Or drunkard's walk...take your choice.

Oh, by the way...I had to change the title...not because I was forced to do so, but because the original title made me feel like a jerk! I don't like feeling like a jerk.

This is the first free-form episode of Trailer Trash Terrors. Alng with my guests, George Anthony and Dave Griffith we dissect the podcast a bit, then talk about "Wild Talents," including the mysterious and enigmatic A.T. Anderson, and the "memory" of the Sonora Aero Club, Charles Dellschau. We also cover the God-spot of the brain, the limits of credulity, and much, much more.

This episode is all about an interview with a vampire. No, not that vampire, but Elizabeth, who contacted the vampire researcher Stephen Kaplan in the late 1970s. At that time she claimed to 439 years old. That means she would be pushin 500 years old in 2023.

In the book "Vampires Are," Elizabeth relates her stories through a series of quite intense television interviews. No matter what question was thrown at her, she answerd immediately, without hesitation. This is a vampire interview you've never heard...but believe me, you need to!

This is part one of a two part series interviewing Keith, an excellent thinker and professional poker player I met through Facebook. Keith holds many views contrary to my own, such as the legitimacy of NASA, and the shape of the Earth, but I greatly enjoyed talking to him. Keith will return for a more in-depth episode in a few weeks.

This episode also begins an exploration of the idea of the "phaneron," which is the world as perceived through our senses, and the filter of our experiences.

This show is classic Trailer Trash Terrors, going where the ideas lead us.

This is the long-delayed, and long-running third episode of the TTT Antichrist Trilogy. What if the ultimate evil force in the universe had a right-hand man, a highly competent bureaucrat who had the job of gathering data to make to eventual apocalypse more efficient? You might think of him as a Satanic process optimizer! This episode answers that question, in great depth. Original speculative fiction by Vic Hermanson.

This episode is all about "quirky" movies. We cover three movies I find to be odd, offbeat, brilliantly executed, made with great love, and very quirky indeed. We talk about "They Might be Giants," starring George C. Scott and Joanne Woodward, "Ghost Dog," starring Forrest Whittaker and a whole gang of central casting gangster actors, and finally, "Resurrection from 1980. Where's the terror? Quite frankly, I needed a break from terror and all things devoid of joy. I hope you enjoy this episode. Let me know what your favorite quirky movies are.

This is an expansion of season three, episode three, and is a 2.5 hour, in-depth panel discussion about the Antichrist from multiple religious and historical perspectives. TYhe guests panelists are Georg Anthony and David Griffith. Plus, Wilbur, the ethereal pest control expert gets a full -time job!

This week's episode covers the Antichrist. You know what? It's a really hard topic to pin down. Who, or what is the Antichrist? What do so many people get accused of being the AntiChrist? We'll cover all that, and a lot more in this episode. Plus, Beelzebubba is back!

This episode is composed of a single story; one true and devastating story. There's nothing paranormal, nothing supernatural, not even anything particularly mysterious about this story, this experience. It's just a slice of humanity, both the good, and the bad, that will never leave my mind. It's the story of a six-rear-old boy, in an old Chevrolet, on the long and stifling road to Shreveport. It's a story I believe to be worth listening to.

Episode one of Season Three was made as a response to the "Eyes of the Devil" documentary. It covers organized child selling, buying, kidnapping, murder and organ harvesting. It's a deeply painful, confusing video. Listen to this episode first, then, better armed, move on to watching the video. After you do, please let me know what you think you saw.
