Dive into one of the most chilling alien abduction cases ever recorded on this episode of Within the Mist!

On a quiet October night in 1973, shipyard workers Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker were fishing along the Pascagoula River when a glowing oval craft appeared overhead. Paralyzed by an unseen force, they were floated aboard and examined by bizarre, wrinkled beings with claw-like hands—creatures forever dubbed the "Elephant Men."

Terrified, traumatized, and telling a story that never wavered, their encounter shook a small Mississippi town and still haunts ufology today.

Was it real contact... or something even stranger?

Listen now and decide for yourself.

Up where the northern lights dance like living flames, antlered shadows rise into the starlit sky…

Join Gary and GoldieAnn on a breathtaking journey into the frozen heart of Sápmi, where ancient Sámi legends whisper of the luminous Gaivaldu—a sacred white reindeer that soars through the aurora, pulling the reborn sun and guiding lost souls through endless polar night.

We’ll follow Old Nils through a blinding blizzard as a glowing spirit doe appears to lead him home, explore how these ethereal guardians of the solstice merged with Norse myths of Odin’s eight-legged sky-steed Sleipnir, and trace the magical thread all the way to Clement Clarke Moore’s 1823 poem that gave us Dasher, Dancer… and, later, a certain red-nosed misfit who lights the way.

From sacred rituals under shimmering guovssahasat to the jingling team we know today, discover the true paranormal origins of Santa’s flying reindeer.

Buckle up as this trip Within the Mist is a special solstice edition equal parts survival, wonder, and pure holiday enchantment.

Available now wherever you listen to Within the Mists. Don’t miss it… you might just hear hooves on your rooftop this Christmas Eve.

This December, while the world decks its halls with sugarplum sweetness, Within the Mist dives into the rattling chains and cloven hooves of something far older and far darker.

Join hosts Gary and GoldieAnn as we journey deep into the frozen Alpine valleys to meet Krampus – the horned, fur-clad punisher who stalks alongside St. Nicholas on the eve of December 5th. Hear the chilling 1742 tale of two Bavarian brothers who learned firsthand what happens when the Christmas Devil decides you’ve been more naughty than nice.

We’ll trace his shadowy origins from ancient pagan winter spirits to the Church-tamed (yet never fully tamed) folk demon who survived bans, wars, and modernity itself. Then fast-forward to today’s roaring Krampusnacht celebrations – torch-lit parades thundering through European villages and the wild, counterculture Krampus runs now sweeping across America.

Lock your doors, stoke the fire, and ask yourself: have you been good this year?

Because Krampus already knows… and he’s coming.

Deep in the tangled backroads of Minnesota’s Vergas Trails, something ancient and furious still walks barefoot through the pines. For over fifty years, locals have spoken in hushed tones of the Hairy Man—an eight-foot, musk-drenched giant that dents car hoods like tin cans, chases snowmobiles through blizzards, and locks eyes with terrified witnesses before vanishing into the bog.

From the thunderous 1966 attack that left Ken Zitzow’s Ford crumpled and his nerves shattered, to a twelve-year-old Cheryl Hanson outrunning a roaring nightmare on a frozen trail, to a mysterious human-like skull pulled from the Klondike swamp, the legend only grows darker.

Is it a feral hermit defending his territory? A family of Sasquatches stalking Otter Tail County? Or something older that the forest itself refuses to name?

Join Gary & GoldieAnn as they venture Within the Mists of Minnesota… because on the Vergas Trails, every rustle in the trees might just be the Hairy Man of Vergas Trail waiting for his next set of headlights.

The gates are locked. The tourists are gone. The ravens fall silent. Tonight, step past the daylight laughter of the Beefeaters and into the thousand-year night that still owns the Tower of London.

In our latest episode, Gary and GoldieAnn lead you across Tower Green where Anne Boleyn walks at the exact hour of her execution… carrying her head like a lantern beneath her arm. Where blind, sixteen-year-old Lady Jane Grey still gropes for the block that ended her nine-day reign. Where two little princes clutch cold hands on a staircase that swallowed them alive in 1483.

Hear the documented terrors that made hardened soldiers hand in their rifles, the CCTV footage that refuses explanation, the EVP that whispers “I cannot find the block…” and the ravens—those black guardians of the Crown—who bow their heads only when the queens return.

There is a valley carved by ice and time, where the South Nahanni River snakes through canyons deeper than any grave... and where men go in with dreams of gold and come out (when they come out at all) missing their heads. This is the Valley of the Headless Men.

For over a century, prospectors have vanished here. Cabins burn with no trace of fire. Skeletons are found minus the skull. Gold pans sit untouched beside the ashes, as if whatever took those heads wasn’t interested in riches.

The Dene have always known why. Not the shy, camera-dodging Bigfoot of the Pacific Northwest. They describe it as a creature the size of a Kodiak bear with shaggy hair and dressed in the remnants of clothing and furs.

Join Gary and GoldieAnn as they paddle Within the Mists of Canada's Northwest Territory to search for the Nakani.

Join host Gary and the Bantering Banshees, Jill and Steph, as they descend into Ireland’s most mournful legend. From Lady Fanshawe’s 1642 moonlit terror at Ballyallia Castle—where a red-haired phantom keened “Ahone! Ahone!” just hours before an O’Brien kinsman’s death—to the famine-ravaged Corofin Workhouse, where a ragged wraith paced the fog, heralding mass graves.

Is she Aibhill, fairy queen of the Dalcassians? A betrayed lover’s ghost? Or just a barn owl’s shriek twisted by grief and superstition? One thing is certain: when the Bean Sí calls your ancient name—O’Brien, O’Neill, or otherwise—death is already at the door.

In the fog-choked hollows of Dickson County, Tennessee, a cry rises from the shadows of Montgomery Bell State Park—a wail that begins as a woman’s tormented sob and builds into a beastly shriek that shatters the night.

From blood-soaked ruins along Trace Creek to trail-cam blurs in 2025, the screams never stop.

Join Gary and GoldieAnn as they travel Within the Mists of Tennessee to unravel the legend of the White Bluff Screamer: a settler family butchered in their cabin, a white-furred nightmare that mimics voices to lure prey, and a banshee whose wails foretells slaughter.

Lock your doors, hush your dogs, and join us—if you dare. The White Bluff Screamer is calling your name.

In January 1996, the sleepy Brazilian town of Varginha became ground zero for terror from the stars. A crippled cigar-shaped craft plummets from the sky, spewing sulfurous smoke and unearthly debris. Three terrified girls lock eyes with a frail, oil-slicked being—massive head ridged with horns, glowing red orbs pleading in the shadows. Military police grapple a wounded creature into their trunk, its ammonia reek searing lungs and souls alike.

Then comes the horror: a young officer scratched by alien touch, whispering "It's inside me" as infection claims his life.

Join Gary and GoldieAnn as they peer Within the Mist of Brazil to discuss the cover-ups, vanishings, and red-eyed creatures that haunt the sky—Brazil's Roswell, where the mist hides secrets that still watch from above.

Set in 1817 Adams, Tennessee, sinister events plagued the Bell family on their Red River farm. From sightings of bizarre creatures—like a dog with a rabbit’s head—to violent knocks, whispers, and physical attacks by an entity claiming to be “Old Kate,” the Bell Witch terrorized the family, targeting patriarch John Bell Sr. and young Betsy.

The episode explores the entity’s malevolent powers, including shapeshifting, voice mimicry, and even a mysterious vial linked to John’s death in 1820. But the mystery didn't end there as the enduring mystery of the Bell Witch Cave continues, a modern hotspot for paranormal activity, and debate theories ranging from a vengeful spirit to a poltergeist born of trauma.

Join Gary & GoldieAnn as they venture Within the Mists of Tennessee to dive into the haunting legend of the Bell Witch, one of America’s most infamous paranormal tales.

Beneath the mist-shrouded peaks of Appalachia, where coal dust clings to the air, a sound haunts the darkness: tap-tap-tap. 

Not the creak of timbers or the drip of water, but the deliberate knocks of the Tommyknockers—gnome-like spirits of the mines, both saviors and tricksters. 

For centuries, miners have whispered of these wrinkled imps, their tiny picks striking warnings or weaving mischief in the coal-black depths. 

Join us on this chilling journey Within the Mists of the heart of Appalachian folklore, where the Tommyknockers wait in the shadows.

As twilight blends into the ancient hemlocks of the Pennsylvania Wilds, you wander off the beaten path... deeper into the mist-shrouded silence. A faint cry pierces the gloom—not wind, not animal, but a guttural weeping that swells like a heartbroken storm.

In the shadows: a wretched, hunched figure tries to hide, skin sagging like forgotten laundry, warts glistening with endless tears.

It senses you... wails in agony... then crumbles, melting into a puddle of pure sorrow that seeps into the earth.

What lurks in those forgotten woods, dissolving in its own despair?

Join Gary and GoldieAnn on the next episode of Within the Mist Podcast, as we explore the legend of America's most pitiful cryptid—the Squonk.

In the silence of Buenos Aires' La Recoleta Cemetery, the air carries the scent of wilted jasmine and aged stone. It's well past midnight, and the living have long since left the grounds, leaving only the wind to whisper secrets through the tombs. But tonight, as on so many nights before, a sound pierces the silence—not the rustle of leaves, but a deliberate thump, muffled yet insistent, like a fist against wood from the wrong side of a grave.

It emanates from a particular tomb, its door ajar in eternal invitation. There, frozen in sculpture, stands a young woman, her hand outstretched as if pleading for release, her eyes averted in quiet horror. 

She is the girl who died twice, and her ghost, they say, still knocks from within—trapped between the worlds.

In Recoleta Cemetery, the dead do not always rest easy, and Rufina's story is a tale of the restless soul. 

Join Gary & GoldieAnn as they descend Within the Mists of Argentina's most haunted necropolis, where beauty and terror combine in the tale of Rufina Cambaceres.

The night of January 14, 2002, started out peaceful and serene with the only sounds piercing the darkness being the rhythmic clacks of steel wheels on rails. A CSX coal train, laden with 16,000 tons of black gold, rumbled through the wilderness from Russell to Shelbiana, its dual locomotives cutting through the darkness. 

Little did the crew know that this routine haul would thrust them into a tale of unexplained phenomena, where their ordinary lives would become extraordinary and everything would blur into the otherworldly... a far-to-close encounter with a UFO, secret government agents, and a mystery still debated today.

Join Gary and GoldieAnn as they take a ride within the mists of Kentucky for the story of the Paintsville UFO train crash—a collision shrouded in whispers of cover-ups and cosmic intruders.

Orbs, those floating balls of light, have flickered through time like elusive fireflies in the dark. 

As far back as ancient folklore, they've been whispered about in Celtic myths from Ireland, where they were often seen as the playful manifestations of fairies—trickster spirits darting through misty glens and ancient stone circles. 

Fast forward to the 19th century, and orbs began appearing in spiritualist séances, captured in early photographs as "spirit orbs"—believed to be the essences of departed loved ones hovering near the living. 

The 20th century brought a cosmic twist: with the rise of UFO sightings post-World War II, orbs were reimagined as extraterrestrial probes, zipping across night skies in formations that defied earthly physics. From Roswell's deserts to rural English countryside, witnesses reported silent, pulsating lights that vanished in an instant. 

Even today, in our digital age, trail cams and smartphone videos capture these anomalies, fueling debates among paranormal investigators, ufologists, and scientists.

Today’s episode is a listener special, drawn from three amazing emails that landed in our inbox. 

Each one features a different kind of orb, united only by their spine-tingling mystery. 

So join Gary & GoldieAnn as we settle Within the Mist to explore these tales of Listener Stories of mysterious orbs.

The summer of 1961 was heavy with heat and whispers of the strange. In the Basque Mountains, the small town of Zeanuri buzzed with rumors of flickering lights in the sky and livestock gone missing from remote farms. 

Locals spoke in hushed tones of the Basajaun, the forest giant of Basque lore, stirring once more in the wilderness. But nothing could have prepared Arquimedes Sanchez and his young co-driver, Mateo Etxebarria, for what they would encounter on that fateful night of July 23.

Join Gary and GoldieAnn as they climb Within the Mist of Spain to challenge our understanding of the natural world and explore the thin veil between reality and the paranormal with the Octo-Squatch.

In the heart of London’s wealthy Mayfair district, where Georgian townhouses stand as testaments of history, one address casts a shadow darker than the rest: 50 Berkeley Square. 

This unassuming four-story building, constructed in 1740 by architect William Kent, has earned a chilling reputation as one of the most haunted houses in Britain. 

For nearly two centuries, tales of a malevolent, shapeless entity have gripped the imaginations of Londoners, blending folklore, tragedy, and inexplicable horror. 

Drawing from documented accounts, newspaper clippings, and paranormal investigations, we delve Within the Mist of London and into the spine-chilling legend of the Nameless Thing of 50 Berkeley Square, a creature that defies reason and leaves a trail of madness and death in its wake.
