Within The Mist

After the birth of her sixth child in 1771, the wife of Patrick Henry ("Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death") began to suffer from some form of mental illness that only worsened over time. Rather than send her to an asylum, her husband made two rooms for her in the cellar of their plantation home, Scotchtown. It was there that he died in 1775.

Now people claim to experience paranormal incidents ranging from screaming to seeing her ghostly spirit.

On September 5, 1891, the residents of Crawfordsville, Indiana, looked up at the sky and saw something that defied explanation. It's a massive, eighteen-foot-long, and eight-foot-wide object with several pairs of side fins that allow it to glide through the air. But this isn't any ordinary flying machine - it's a "horrible apparition" that strikes fear into the hearts of those who see it. As it moves closer, they notice its pure white color and lack of a definite shape, making it look like a giant white shroud with propelling fins. There's no visible head or tail, but it emits a wheezing, melancholy sound that sends shivers down their spines. And if that's not enough, it has one large flaming eye that seems to be staring at them.

The Tasmanian tiger, also known as the Tasmanian wolf, was a carnivorous marsupial that roamed the Australian mainland and the islands of Tasmania and New Guinea islands. However, before Europeans arrived, it became extinct in New Guinea and mainland Australia around 3,600-3,200 years ago. It is believed that the introduction of the dingo may have contributed to its extinction, though dingoes never reached Tasmania. Before European settlement, an estimated 5,000 Tasmanian tigers remained in the wild in Tasmania. But by the nineteenth century, they were seen as a threat to farmers' livestock, and bounty hunting was introduced. Sadly, the last known Tasmanian tiger died in 1936 at Hobart Zoo in Tasmania.

However, reports still circulate of this striped creature's sightings and discussions of bringing it back through cloning its DNA.

Regardless, it is time to take a walkabout Within the Mists of Tasmania with Gary and GoldieAnn and learn about Thylacine.

In 1858, many people heard stories of untold wealth in the Arizona desert. They developed a feverish desire to seek their fortune during the Gold Rush. Sadly, it was a cruel joke for most, as they were plagued by crippling misfortune, hardship, and death.

Luana's family had to make do with a small, one-room shack in a canyon near Kingman, Arizona. It was a life of difficult circumstances for them.

This tale of hope turned to despair, one of abandonment that resonated in the crevices of the cliffs and forever stained the earth. At night, you can hear the hollow echoes along the canyon walls from the pain and sorrow radiating through it.

For eleven years, from 1955 to 1966, eyewitnesses were seeing a strange fog colored pink like cotton candy. It would creep across the surface of the wetlands of Tomoka River and devour the flesh off anything within its path.

It is a creature that can mimic the screams of a lost child to lure you to the lagoons it calls home before snatching you to your doom.

A hunter, distracted by a personal matter, strays from the path, and finds himself too close to the East Cascade Mountain Range. Before he can turn around, he spots what he thinks is the biggest bear he's ever laid eyes on. Unfortunately, the creature he kills is a young sasquatch.

This spurs a break in a century old truce between men and the race of ancient Bigfoot on the other side of the mountain range.  What results is a town in danger with citizens fighting for their lives.

Holly Rae and Ryan Garcia have collaborated to bring the beginning of an altercation that mixes the lore of Bigfoot with horror for a fun read that will leave you wanting more.

In 1974, fifty-five-year-old beauty salon operator Evelyn Wendt of Dade City, Florida, contacted the local West Palm Beach paper called “The Weekday” and asked to be interviewed by a reporter.

Before the interview was over, the story included an alien spaceship piloted by the strangest of creatures.  These creatures had a purpose in mind bent upon destruction that may or may not have had the best interest of our planet at heart.

Regardless, this woman’s tale describes an encounter so strangely wonderful that it deserves to be told.

Chet's Melody Lounge is located across the road from Resurrection Cemetery where the locals come together to have a few drinks, listen to loud music, and discuss some of their favorite stories. 

The popular ones are all remarkably similar.  It consists of a young man out on the town for a night of dancing and drinking.  Along the side of the road is walking a stunning young woman, with whom he asks if she needs a ride.  She agrees and climbs into the front seat of the car with the driver. She asks to be taken to Archer Road.

However, just as they reach the street and approach Resurrection Cemetery, located on it. He turns to the young woman to find that she has vanished, leaving no trace that she was ever there.

Lake Champlain extends north into the Canadian Province and is situated between New York and Vermont.  It is sometimes referred to as the "Sixth Great Lake".  These four hundred square miles of freshwater also has the distinction of being home for an elusive lake monster referred to as America's Loch Ness Monster with hundreds of documented sightings.

It is said to be between six and twenty-five feet long with exceptionally smooth skin, a humpback, and no scales.  It is not like any fish but seems to be a long-lost dinosaur that escaped extinction.

Ancient tales of those mysterious places where animals go to die have always intrigued us. Whether it is the “elephants’ graveyard” or the dying place of the bison, men for centuries have searched for the one spot within each region toward which old and wounded beasts struggle, driven by some instinctual urge during their final days. Even ancient Native American burial grounds hold a special mystique to them.

The area known as ‘Big Rock’ is a rocky peak that towers two hundred feet above the surrounding countryside. A small cave high on the side of the peak was also reputedly the home of the wolf, Old Raridan, who legend says was killed in an epic battle with local settlers at the end of the 18th century defending this sacred burial ground for the grey wolves. His ghost is said to prowl the area and howl from the cliff edge during a full moon, still guarding the dead.

Join Gary and GoldieAnn as we walk along the trails Within The Mist and discover the legend of Old Raridan.

Many of the urban legends and stories we tell about involve creatures that range from the scaly to the hairy. They do have one thing in common, however, in that they are animals. What about those that involve the plants? It is as though we see the forest but neglect the actual trees within.

Many of the most bizarre encounters involve plants with the ability to move, eat, and even speak. With as little as we really know about the various species of plants growing in our own backyards, it is not that impossible that some of the most amazing cryptids may be the green kind.

Join us today as we wander Within The Mist to explore tales of the plant cryptids and whether it is easy being green.

Every day, hundreds of ships are sailing across the oceans. Unfortunately, some do not make it to their destinations.  The open water is filled with secrets and has taken the lives of many of the sailors to keep those secret.

The existence of one such ship in 1948 that was found drifting in the middle of the Indian Ocean has been widely debated. If true, then all crew aboard were found not only found dead but in twisted configurations indicating that they perished from fright, yet the ship was undamaged, and their bodies showed no signs of injury. How did they die aboard this legendary ghost ship?

Join Gary and GoldieAnn this week as we sail Within The Mist into the depths of the mystery surrounding the SS Ourang Medan.
