  • BWBS Ep:116 The Beast Between the Lakes
    In the early 1980s, a Florida family of four set out on a camping trip to the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area—and never returned. According to legend, they were attacked by a large, wolf-like creature. The father was found dead outside the RV, the mother mutilated nearby, one child torn apart inside the camper, and the other discovered high in a tree. No official reports confirm this event, but the story has taken root as one of the most unsettling pieces of American cryptid folklore.This episode explores one version of that story—possibly the most detailed account, but far from the only one. We retrace the history of Land Between the Lakes, starting with the forced removal of hundreds of families to make way for the recreation area.From there, we move into the eerie details of the alleged attack and the claims of a government cover-up that followed. Along the way, we examine decades of strange encounters, unexplained evidence, and witness accounts that continue to stir fear and fascination.The creature at the heart of the legend—often called the Beast of LBL, the Dogman, or simply the Monster—is described as a seven-foot-tall, muscular but lean figure with glowing red eyes and long claws. Stories about it stretch back over 200 years, with roots in Native American oral history. In this version, we look closely at the alleged victims: a family from Florida, including two children named Bradley and Megan, and the law enforcement officers who reportedly found the aftermath of something horrific.Some accounts mention that the case was reviewed by pathologists and examiners, but their findings were never officially released and were quickly classified. Reports speak of wounds that didn’t match any known animal, evidence that vanished into federal custody, and a rapid response that many believe suggests someone was expecting something exactly like this to happen.Even today, strange things are still reported in the northern parts of Land Between the Lakes: massive footprints, tufts of unidentified hair, signs of animal panic, and stories of electronic equipment suddenly failing.Those who spend time deep in the woods speak of an overwhelming sense of being watched—and sometimes, of seeing something that shouldn’t exist.Despite all of this, the U.S. Forest Service maintains that there is no verified evidence of any such creature. Official statements deny any knowledge, and the story is written off as urban legend.We don’t claim to offer proof. This episode is an exploration of a persistent and terrifying piece of American folklore. It's a story built on whispers, sightings, and the fear of what might be waiting just beyond the campfire’s glow.Whether it's myth, misremembered tragedy, or something far stranger, the tale of the Beast of Land Between the Lakes endures.This episode contains graphic descriptions of alleged violence, including harm to children. Listener discretion is strongly advised.

  • BWBS Ep:115 The Flatwoods Monster
    On September 12, 1952, a group of children in Braxton County, West Virginia, witnessed something that would shatter the quiet of their mountain town—a 10-foot-tall creature with glowing red eyes and a helmet-shaped head. What followed wasn’t folklore. It was one of the most thoroughly documented and chilling cryptid encounters in American history.In this episode, we unravel the full story of the Flatwoods Monster: a case supported not only by eyewitnesses, but by physical evidence, medical records, and official investigations. From the initial sighting of a fiery object streaking across the sky to two close encounters that left witnesses physically ill and investigators baffled, this wasn’t a hoax—it was a mystery that refused to fade. You’ll hear how a terrified group, led by a National Guardsman, came face-to-face with something that emitted toxic mist and moved in unnatural ways. We examine the physical traces left behind—radiation hotspots, metallic fragments, scorched vegetation—and the disturbing medical symptoms that followed. Despite explanations ranging from mass hysteria to barn owls, none have accounted for all the evidence.The Flatwoods case drew national media, Project Blue Book, and decades of scientific analysis. Modern experts have verified the trauma of the witnesses and found clues suggesting advanced technology far beyond what was available in the 1950s. To this day, the encounter remains unsolved—but not forgotten. Flatwoods now honors the event with a museum and festival, keeping alive the story of the night something not of this world may have crashed in the hills of West Virginia.

  • BWBS Ep:114 They Took Us: The Terry Lovelace Abduction
    What begins as a quiet weekend camping trip for two off-duty Air Force servicemen spirals into one of the most disturbing and credible alien abduction accounts in modern history.In this episode, we explore the chilling true story of Terry Lovelace—an attorney, veteran, and former Assistant Attorney General—who has spent decades coming to terms with what happened to him in the summer of 1977 at Devil’s Den State Park.Terry and his friend had set up camp in a remote clearing, expecting nothing more than a peaceful night under the stars. But as darkness fell, the forest around them grew eerily silent—unnaturally so. Without warning, an enormous, black, triangular craft appeared overhead, hovering soundlessly above their campsite.That’s when time itself seemed to fracture. The next thing they knew, hours had passed, and they were back in their tent—terrified, confused, and unable to explain what had happened. Years later, under hypnosis, Terry would recall the horrifying details of that missing time: the pale, expressionless entities, the cold examination tables, and the overwhelming sense of powerlessness. Disturbingly, a routine medical X-ray would later reveal a mysterious implant in his leg—an object that doctors couldn’t explain, and which seemed to emit radio frequencies when scanned.This isn’t just a story of an abduction—it’s a story of trauma, buried memory, and the terrifying possibility that we are not only being watched… but taken. And if Terry Lovelace’s experience is to be believed, they may not have been the first… or the last.Whether you’re a staunch skeptic, a believer in the unexplained, or just someone fascinated by the dark fringes of reality, this is one story that will rattle your sense of what’s possible.🚨 Content Warning: This episode contains descriptions of abduction, physical trauma, and psychological distress. Listener discretion is strongly advised.

  • BWBS Ep:113 Taken From Devil's Elbow
    A Vietnam War helicopter mechanic named Frank vanishes in 2024. Left behind: a handwritten account spanning 50 years. It starts with “foo fighters”—strange lights pacing U.S. aircraft in Vietnam—and ends in the Oregon wilderness, where similar lights appear at a remote fishing spot called Devil’s Elbow. Frank returns decades later with a drone enthusiast named Chris. They pick up disturbing electromagnetic readings. Then Chris disappears too. Frank’s technical eye and military background give weight to his account—he wasn’t imagining things. The question is: what’s watching us, and why?Story 2: The Hitchhiker Beyond the Truck StopAlong I-40, truckers keep seeing the same thing: hitchhikers who vanish without a trace. They look real, talk normal, give directions—and then disappear, often right outside a truck stop or gas station. The pattern spans states and decades. The most haunted stretch? Between New Mexico and Tennessee.Some think these phantoms are tied to sites of past trauma—accidents, lost towns, graveyards buried under asphalt. Others think something older is using the roads—and us—for something we don’t yet understand.

  • BWBS Ep:112 Hunters Kill Bigfoot
    In this episode, we explore one of the most disturbing and unforgettable stories ever told on Coast to Coast AM. A man calling himself “Bugs” phoned in with a confession that sounded more like a campfire ghost story—except he claimed it really happened.Back in the early 1970s, Bugs and a fellow hunter were out spotlighting illegally in the dense woods of Texas when they spotted what they first thought were bears.But as the figures stepped into the light, it became clear they were looking at something else entirely: two tall, broad-shouldered creatures walking upright, covered in hair, with faces that looked eerily human. Without hesitation, the men opened fire.According to Bugs, they dragged the bodies away and buried them in a shallow grave—then vowed never to speak of it again. But decades later, the memory was still eating at him.He called in not for fame, but out of guilt, fear, and the need to unload a secret he’d carried for most of his life.We revisit the full account: the setting, the killing, the horrifying realization that these might not have been animals at all—and the eerie calm in Bugs’ voice as he recounts it. Along the way, we’ll look at how this story fits into the broader world of Bigfoot lore, the culture of poaching in that era, and the strange intersection of trauma and the paranormal.It’s a tale that raises uncomfortable questions about what we believe, what we suppress, and how far people go to bury the truth.If you’ve ever wondered what it would really feel like to kill a legend, this is the story that makes you think twice.
