Episode 22: Aokigahara (AKA Japan’s Suicide Forest)

Once again Tim is joined by the wonderful Elizabeth Henderson to talk about the notorious Suicide Forest. For such a dark topic, we take a more lighthearted approach so as not to bum people out. Still, there is a lot of dark stuff in this episode, so it's not for the faint of heart. If you are easily disturbed you should probably avoid this episode. 

Episode 21: Shadow People

In this episode of Cryptic Chronicles, Tim is joined by Elizabeth Henderson, an admin from the Cryptic Chronicles Facebook group to talk about Shadow People. Just who or what Shadow People are is up for debate. Are they delusions of the mind? Or are they interdimensional entities that feed of negative emotions like fear and depression? This conversation is a brief overview of the phenomenon and how it's viewed by different people. There will be many more episodes on Shadow People to come so this episode is a nice warm up.

Episode 20: Halloween

It's time for Halloween! In this episode, the topics are going to be the Irish legend of Stingy Jack, a whole bunch of true horrifying Halloween stories, and the enigmatic ancient Celtic holiday of Samhain.

Episode 19: Compilation of Strange

Hey all, I got sick and recorded this episode high as a kite on meds and not feeling well. Hope you don't mind. This episode's all about a variety of different topics. From the Arabian Djinn to a killer cannibal family from Scotland, the notorious Devil's Tree, the legendary ghost tale of The Lady of Raynham Hall, and last the Vile Vortices. Hope you enjoy!

Episode 18: Cthulu Mythos The Outer Gods

In this episode, we're going to delve into H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulu Mythos featuring the Outer Gods. Cosmic Horror is an important sub-genre of Horror, which can also be defined as Lovecraftian Horror, Eldritch Horror, or Cosmicism. Cosmic Horror is heavily influenced by the philosophy of Existential Nihilism, and Philosophical Pessimism, with a consistent theme of madness to those who view what their minds aren't ready to comprehend. In Lovecraft's mythos universe human beings are entirely insignificant and inconsequential on a cosmic scale. With countless civilizations throughout the universe coming and going in meaningless existences under the watchful eyes of entities so ancient and powerful we humans seem less than ants to them in comparison. Lovecraft's writings would spark an obsession that is still very prominent till this day, and Tim will go into detail of the most powerful of these Lovecraftian horrors, the Outer Gods. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the madness. "The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown." - H.P. Lovecraft

Episode 17: Monster Legends 3

Our third episode featuring monster legends from all over the world. There's some pretty messed up stuff in here so you've been warned (especially concerning sexual violence towards women). From the Japanese Kappa to the legendary Beast of Gevauden, if you're interested in myths and legends then you've come to the right place. Monster legends have been with humanity since the dawn of time. They've been used to keep people safe from real life danger, as well as being used as a form to teach wisdom and life lessons, but also something more... So enjoy, here's Monster Legends 3.

Episode 15: Allison Mack’s Sex Cult And The MK-Ultra Monarch Program

In this episode Tim talks about the Smallville actress Allison Mack's recent arrest for human trafficking and being a leader of a modern day sex cult. But don't worry because it's going to get even stranger. The meat and potatoes of the show is about MK-Ultra, the U.S. government's twisted brainwashing experiments on their own citizens. However it's the experiments alleged later incarnation, the Monarch program that Tim will really go into detail about. Whether it's real or not though we promise the topic will be as disturbing as it is interesting. Just don't let it make you paranoid... Here's the MK-Ultra glitches promised in the ep https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lD2e80vLjAI&t=59s And the Muse song about Handlers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BF1DQr5dKW8
