A quiet house answers back… and a dark forest shows the wrong kind of life. Doors shake, footsteps wander, bones bend, and something disappears where it shouldn’t.  The Cryptonaut Hotline: The Cryptonaut Podcast Patreon:  The Cryptonaut Podcast Merch Stores: -   Stay Connected with the Cryptonaut Podcast:  -  - - -  -

Whether surrounding a small town or a major metropolis, the back roads of our world are filled with intriguing sights and bucolic backdrops, but for an unlucky few, this potentially pastoral paradise can be a gateway to… high strangeness.

The Cryptonaut Podcast

For some the intersection between folklore and real world is cut and dry; one is fact, the other fantasy. But those who’ve peered through the cracks in consensus reality know the truth; our world exists at a crossroads between the seen and unseen; the known and the unfathomable; and that, when we least expect it, these realities can come crashing together in ways that shatter our perceptions… and for one Russian miner an encounter with a beautiful, in-humanoid would offer this mere mortal a glimpse into a world beyond imagination.

The Cryptonaut Podcast

There are places where trauma—both physical and metaphysical—festers like a cancer; corrupting the soil, sinking into the dark earth with tendrils born of violence and fear; venomous, black roots that sink so deeply into the land that time itself seems unwilling to move on. Bracken County, Kentucky is one such place. A nexus where the history is rich, the land is bloody, and—if witnesses are to be believed—the Devil himself once took a midnight stroll.

The Cryptonaut Podcast

Beginning in the late 1960s, an array of French kids began having bizarre run-ins with a bevy of diminutive, pot-bellied, elf-like entities that left investigators wondering if this might not be the opening of a new era of high strangeness.

The Cryptonaut Podcast

In what has to be one of the most intriguing, confounding, and flat-out jaw-dropping flaps in the annals of ufology, a roughly 300-day stretch in 1970 and ’71 plunged Finland into an unprecedented wave of high strangeness. Citizens across the country were left stunned by the sudden emergence of tiny, space-suit-clad beings—entities that seemed to hail from a reality heavier, slower, and infinitely stranger than our own… creatures who proved more than capable of harming anyone foolish enough to try to capture one.

For those who find themselves slipping into the untethered realms of high strangeness, the only thing weirder than a run-in with an anomalous animal: is a confrontation with an un fathom able “thing” that not only defies classification but is in possession of powers beyond comprehension. These curious critters range from the merely odd to the utterly insane, but one thing is absolutely certain… once you’ve see one, your world will be never be the same again.

Anyone who’s served in a time of armed conflict knows that few things can compare to the chaos, confusion and constant fear of war. The stress that puts on a human being is tremendous and, for many, debilitating. But, for an even unluckier few, these already anxiety inducing situations were made all the worse by the addition of aggressive eight-legged atrocities who were as eager to kill as their enemies at the front.
