In episode 745: Dogman, Crawlers, and the Not-Deer; Chris from West Virginia shares a series of chilling encounters that began with a timber-colored creature walking on two legs outside his home—and escalated into a five-hour standoff of growls, scraping claws, and paralyzing fear. After that night, the activity didn’t stop. While camping in the woods, Chris witnessed a massive, shadowy figure crawling like a spider toward his tent and heard unplaceable howls and gunshots echo through the forest. Then came something worse: a deer that wasn’t a deer, its gaze too knowing, its movements too wrong—and when it turned to walk away, it simply vanished. As the months wore on, the line between physical and supernatural blurred. There were orbs outside his window, rocks thrown from nowhere, a crab-walking thing glimpsed on a distant ridge, and a hellhound-like face caught in a photo. Some creatures moved like animals. Others seemed to watch him. But all of it felt targeted. Whether it was Bigfoot, Dogman, something demonic, or something else entirely, Chris was sure of one thing, they weren’t supposed to exist—but they do.

In episode 742: Dogman Of The Corn, Shane and "The Judge" from From The Shadows Podcast, share a bone-chilling account of an entity that stalked one of their daughters—night after night. It called itself "Wind." It appeared as a little boy with blonde hair and blue bibs, and it whispered through the baby monitor in a dead language no one could recognize. It wanted the child to go outside. In the snow. In the middle of the night. This wasn’t just a haunted house. Wind followed them across towns. Past locked doors. Into new bedrooms. When "The Judge" finally saw it with his own eyes, his daughter began speaking in something guttural, ancient, possibly Sumerian—and then Wind was gone. But not forever. Years earlier, on a quiet country road flanked by cornfields, "The Judge" came face to face with a creature that shouldn’t exist. It ran through the rows—pacing him, mirroring every move—and when it stepped out, it stood tall like a man, with the head of a wolf and the build of a linebacker. No eye shine. No sound. Just intent. He escaped by seconds, diving into a friend’s pool, heart pounding and reality shattered. Decades later, he would learn the land was built on ancient burial mounds—and that others had seen it too. Two encounters. Two entities. One terrifying question:  If these things are real… what else is?

From childhood encounters with shadowy figures that moved with eerie intelligence to sleep paralysis attacks that felt more like interdimensional assaults, his experiences defy simple explanation. The terror escalated with scratches, whispers, and the inescapable sense that something was always watching. Then came the stadium lights, impossibly massive, stretching across a nightmarish horizon. Were they beacons? However, Brandon’s journey didn’t end in darkness. He stumbled into astral projection, battled a shapeshifting entity masquerading as his daughter, and found himself face to face with a towering, radiant figure—Jesus Christ Himself. What message did He bring? From demonic torment to divine intervention, Brandon’s story is one of spiritual warfare in an age where the veil is thinning.
