Almost Canon Podcast--The Paranormal, Crypids and True Horror
The Demon of Elmcrest; Ghosts on Mt. Everest; A Ghost Writer's Ghost
Due to personal complications here at Almost Adventures Studio, this episode of Almost Canon will be a mash up of scary and strange stories that I've pulled from past episodes. First we will be hearing from Nick (who was on episode 35) and he tells a story about a demonic looking shadow person that pretty much chased them from Elmcrest Hospital. Then we will hear from high altitude cameraman Thom Pollard (from episode 33) about an experience he had while at his lowest during an expedition to Mount Everest in 1999. Lastly we will hear from paranormal author Joseph Citro (episode 31) about a possible ghost encounter he had while staying over night at a haunted hotel in the quaint New England town of Chester, Vermont.
These are great stories taken from great interviews.

Mysteries Beneath Lake Tahoe
01:09:59|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.
