Almost Canon Podcast--The Paranormal, Crypids and True Horror

This week we dive into the world of Lake monsters and take a look at a theory that hasnt recieved much attention over the years but its a theory that I now believe could actually hold some real answers! Its called the Plesio-Turtle Theory and involves giant fresh water turetles being misinterpreted as plesiosaurs. In this episode we focus mainly on Lake Champlain but look at stories like 'The Beast of Busco'. We digest an interview with Chuck Pogan, a cryptozoologist who was able to view the entire Bodette Film and we also look at a random message I recieved on TikTok last year from someone who had actually seen these giant turtles as well!

The week we take a look at a bigfoot theory that has me fully convinced that these are the answers we've been looking for! Is boigfoot able to do the weird things it does because of a scientific phenomenon thats barley understood?

As i finish up some research on a game changing episode about bigfoot and the "woo" I wanted to replay this episode about Merfolk and the suprising history they have. When we think of merfolk we like of Disney's 'The Little Mermaid' when in fact theres an incredbly rich history of Merfolk going all the way back to the primordial gods of Egypy and Sumeria. So is it possible these fish tailed being might hold some secrets to our ancient world? Are they still swimming the ocean's depths today? find out more in this weeks re-play episode of Almost Canon

This week we look at the myth behind the Cynocephali, which mean Dog Headed in Greek. The creatures are said to be less like animals and something along the lines of human. They're cultured, they understand human language, their incredibly just and so on. One was even said to have become a Christian Saint, Saint Christopher. But what were they and where did they come from and could they be behind the modern day dogman phenomenon?

This week we literally dive into the largest alpine lake in North America, Lake Tahoe. While this beautiful location has become a major vacation destination over the years with its crystal blue waters and breathtaking mountain scenery, many seem to forget that just below the surface 10,000 years of mysteries have been piling up. From anceint water spirits to forests of "cement shoe" victims and even its very own lake monster, Lake Tahoe certainly holds its secrets well. We start the episode by going over lake Tahoe's creation and those who called it home, long before lumber men and prospectors settled the area. We ask the question if the infamous water spirits and Cave Rock could be behind the emergence of Tessie, the lake monster of Lake Tahoe and whether the viel beneath surface will always reamin thin.

***FIXED AUDIO*****On this, better late than never, episode of Real to Reel we honor on of our childhood heroes, Dr. Alan Grant, played by the late Sam Neill by delving into the jungles Jurassic Park! While this kmovie is a departure from our usual films, its a staple of my childhood and with the passing of Sam Neill, I figured now would be the best time to check out one of Hollywoods greatest movies! With a decent knowlege of Jurassic Park lore, gained from different novels, comic books and video games, I'll attempt to lead you scene by scene, on this dinosaur tour and hopefully share some things you might not have known about this important piece of cinema history!
