Episode 420: The Fresno Nightcrawler
Frightday
This week we look into a semi-humanoid, slack-looking cryptid that's been sporadically popping up on cameras around the world. These bizarre beings resemble walking pants. Pale, stick-like legs with tiny heads, no arms, and an unsettling waddle that's both creepy and...odd. Want more?

VISITORS: Craig Oliver (The Magenta Project)
Frightday
In this episode of VISITORS, UFO researcher Craig Oliver unpacks the Magenta Project. A complex web connecting a 1933 UFO retrieval in Mussolini's Italy to the formation of America's modern intelligence apparatus. Craig, working alongside researcher Michael Arementor have constructed an extensive timeline revealing how this pre-WWII incident may have shaped everything from the OSS to the CIA's creation just two months after Roswell. The discussion traces how Italian researcher Roberto Pinotti first documented the Magenta retrieval in the 1990s, later brought to prominence by David...

VISITORS: Roz Mugford & Dan Zetterström (What It Means to Be Human)
Frightday
What happens when you actually follow your gut and reach out to people doing the work? This week, Kelly finds out this week, sitting down with two thoughtful, genuinely kind humans who are quietly reshaping how we talk about the UFO phenomenon. Roz and Dan discuss why women in these spaces still get push back for, well, existing, how representation matters when we're trying to understand something bigger than ourselves, the surprising overlap between consciousness, spirituality, and close encounters, why indigenous voices are being drowned out by military ones, meditation as a gateway to...

Behind the Screams: the Alien in the Freezer (Excerpt)
Frightday
This is a preview of the content you can expect when you support us by joining the Frightday Society at . This week we’re dusting off a VHS tape from 1996, grainy and unsettling...the kind of footage that makes you question what you’re actually seeing. Extraterrestrial or not, what’s captured here is some of the most disturbing evidence ever to surface in the UFO community. We’re talking about the Jonathan Reed Story, a supposed encounter that begins with a quiet hike in the Mountains and spirals into one of the strangest, most controversial alien contact cases ever...
info_outlineIn this episode of VISITORS, Kelly sits down with Juergen Hess—aka Hoodoo Tall—fresh off earning his Ph.D. in Metaphysical Sciences, a milestone that formalizes years of disciplined fieldwork around Sedona and the Bradshaw Ranch. Known for blurring the lines between researcher, experiencer, and storyteller, Juergen shares wisdom shaped by a long friendship and mentorship with the late John Lear, as well as first-hand time “working with” Lear on investigations. He also opens a window into his friendship with author Lou Baldin, a singular (and sometimes polarizing) voice whose ideas are resurfacing—and that some in the UFO community, including Richard Dolan, have been highlighting as worth a closer look.
What makes Hoodoo stand out isn’t just the footage or the archives—it’s the way he leads with empathy and kindness, modeling how to ask brave questions without dehumanizing the people behind the stories. That’s why Sam and Kelly have been proud to share Hoodoo’s work with their girls: as a living example of pursuing your passions with courage, integrity, and curiosity. And if the stars align, we hope to experience Hoodoo’s work in person on our next trip to Sedona—right where so much of this high-strangeness begins.
If you’re new to Hoodoo Tall, this conversation is an ideal entry point; if you’ve followed him for years, you’ll hear fresh context—from Lear’s influence to Baldin’s thought experiments—framed by a researcher who never forgets that people come first. For more on Hoodoo’s recent work and appearances, see his VISITORS episode and recent interviews exploring Bradshaw Ranch phenomena.
