Almost Canon

The Japanese Oni; Kappa; and Satori

Season 1, Ep. 83

On this episode we start by detailing two encounters we recently received from listeners. One about a UFO encounter in the 1970's that caused not only the listeners car to stall on the main road but the three cars behind him to stop as well and the second story is about a family that moves into a house where something horrible has once happened and they were having to deal with the repercussions of that act.

Then Nick moved onto the topic which in honor of FX's Shogun and the release of Rise of the Ronin, is Japanese folklore. Nick dives into three different beings: the Oni, the Kappa and the Japanese Bigfoot, the Satori. Now as Nick was doing his research for this topic he picked up on several key pieces of lore that could connect the Oni, the Japanese demon, to the biblical Nephilim and even the Celtic Tuatha De. this is a shorter than normal episode but it might be more impactful than most, specially if looking for answers is something that interests you.

  • 91. New England Stone Structures with My Family Thinks I'm Crazy

    01:35:30
    This week we talk with Mark from My Family Thinks Im Crazy podcast. As we're both from New England, we figured talking about a New England mystery would be best.Stone walls are often over looked. There are countless miles of them and their literary everywhere you look here in New England. But were they really been built by farmers in the 1800's and what about all the stone chambers, who built those? if not farmers then who? Was it Vikings? Maybe the Celts or Phoenicians? Or what about giants or an ancient unknown race of indigenous peoples? These are all questions we consider on this weeks episode of Almost canon podcast!

  • 88. Genesis 6 Conspiracy and the Fae with Gary Wayne

    01:38:18
    The holy Bible, one of, if not the most published  pieces of literature the world has ever seen. This collection of stories, Part spiritual guide part history book, is said to have been inspired by God and has influenced the wider world for thousands of years.     The 66 different books that make up the Bible cover everything from the creation of the world to Adam and Eve’s banishment from Eden; to Noah’s ark and the flood;  as well as the stories behind the Tower of Babel and the walls of Jericho, which come crashing down. It tells us of the birth of Jesus as well as his crucifixion and resurrection plus so much in between.       Now tonight’s guest is a man whose all but mastered not only biblical history but secular history as well and combines them flawlessly to create what could quite possibly be the most complete historical timeline ever put to paper, atleast when it comes to a world viewed through a biblical lens.     In his books the Genesis 6 Conspiracy: How Secret Societies and the Descendants of Giants Plan to Enslave Humankind, parts 1 and 2, Gary Wayne, digs deep into the biblical record and unearths the forgotten bloodlines of the Nephilim, a race of beings described in Genesis 6.     Gary Wayne then traces these bloodlines through out history, following them as they intersect with the rich and powerful houses of Europe and beyond. Families like; the Habsburg’s,  the Bourbon’s, The Romanovs, the Windsor’s and so many more.       The First time I heard Gary Wayne talking about the Genesis 6 Conspiracy he gave a general overview of the book and listed off all these mysterious entities that I’ve heard mentioned over the years. Entities like the Nephilim,  the Raphi-em, giants, Djinn the fae and several other I can’t think of right now.    And while he shares a pretty in depth look at these beings, going as far as mentioning the different species and class of these anti-diluvian  children of fallen angles; Gary Wayne even states which clan they belong to and the corresponding royal family they would eventually marry into.    And as he goes into all this, I know I always find myself wanting to know more about the fae and the roll these interdimensional beings play in the genesis 6 conspiracy timeline. So This week we talk with Gary Wayne, author of the incredible book The Genesis 6 Conspiracy: How Secret Societies and the Descendants of Giants in Genesis 6 Plan to Enslave Mankind. He finally found time in his busy schedule to jump on and talk about a host of topics involving the giants and Nephilim of Genesis but also on how the Fae play a roll in the wide spread conspiracy. Not being particularly religious myself but coming closer to God over the course of doing this show, I was able to ask Gary a few questions I've been wondering for a while and the answers I got, particularly one response, blew my mind (which doesn't happen often).if you’d like to purchase Gary’s work here’s his website: https://genesis6conspiracy.com/
  • 87. Operation Mindfuck; Chameleo; and Esotericism in Hollywood with Robert Guffey

    02:58:47
    This week we talk with Author Robert Guffey and cover as much ground as we can in 3 hours! we start with Operation Mindfuck and end with Chameleo, covering just about every thing you can think of in between.    I became aware of Robert Guffey’s work several years ago, 2016-2017, after he published a book called “Chameleo: a strange but true story of invisible spies, heroin addicts and homeland security”.  This is a story that I believe doesn’t get the attention it deserves and is the reason I wanted to have Robert on in the first place. This story has its roots in ancient magic but focuses on not only alphabet agentcies and high tech invisibility suits but other experimental technologies that are more akin to men in black or the l glimmerman.     And while we do touch on Chameleo towards the end of our talk, we start off by discussing another masterpiece penned by Robert, a book called “Operation Mind Fuck” which is Robert Guffey’s clinical dissection of Q-anon.  If you want to support Almost Canon and Almost Adventure Studio then please consider donated to our GoFundMe, all proceeds will go towards purchases new equipment that will make the show better for all: https://gofund.me/313b04be
  • 86. Was Jody Hildebrandt Possessed?

    45:54
    On August 30th 2023 Russel Ruby escaped from captivity and went to find help. We would quickly find out that Russel"s mother Ruby Franke had been working with a friend, Jody Hildebrandt, to rid both Russel and his sister Evie of Demonic possession or so they believed. What police would discovered was nothing short of monstrous.As of February 2024 Ruby and Jody are now serving four 1-15 year terms behind bars. Also, released after the sentencing Ruby and Jody, were some documents and recordings, one of which was an interview held between investigators and Ruby's husband Kevin. And in this recoding Kevin mentions several interesting things, one of which is how Jody believed she was possessed and that he even witnessed some of these paranormal happenings himself.So this week we take a closer look at these allegations; go over Kevin's interview and some of the statements he made; take a closer look at some of the actions made by Ruby, but especially by Jody.Now none of this is for certain. We are simply investigating the statements made by Kevin. But Kevin clearly believes he saw something and the behavior exhibited by Jody over the last year suggests he could be right.https://www.newportri.com/story/entertainment/2016/10/25/4-degrees-demonic-possession/985256007/https://childfriendlyfaith.org/what-is-religious-child-maltreatment/#:~:text=Examples%20include%20using%20religious%20messages,based%20on%20particular%20scriptural%20interpretations.
