Almost Canon
Portals in the Peaks: The Mysterious Disappearances of Erik Lewis and Carl Landers
Season 1, Ep. 158
•
After hearing from friend of the show, Thom Pollard, and being told about an abandoned campsite found not too far from me, in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, I decided to cover two Missing 411 cases that have fascinated me for 15 years.
Our first case takes place in Washington State and involves a climber who seemingly disappeared from the end of a climbing rope, almost as though he unclipped and stepped out into the sky.
The second case involves a climber in California who vanished in broad daylight from the middle of an empty snow field on one of America's most mysterious Mountains.

161. Hunted By The Wendigo
56:54||Season 1, Ep. 161As winter firmly wraps it's icy fingers around us, I thought it would be more than appropriate to dive into three first hand encounters that deal with one of cryptozoologies most misunderstood entities....the Wendigo.So this week, as we come back from our hiatus, we kick the new year off with three incredibly chilling stories. The first deals with a hunter, who is in turn, hunted by the creature, while hunting deer in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The second is a story about a stranded snowmobiler who comes face to face with something he had heard about since childhood and the last story deals with a young man, coming home for winter break only to find that his parents have captured something and are holding it captive in the family barn. i hope you enjoy these stories and the bits and pieces of wendigo lore we discuss as we go. so please sit back, relax and enjoy tonight's episode of Almost Canon!Dont forget to leave a rating and a review!

Re-Post: The Dark History of Christmas
01:39:53||Season 1Things have been crazy but the holiday season is just above over and we'll be able to return to our regular scheduled programming! Until then, here's a re-release of our fan favorite Christmas episode, which goes all the way back to the first year of Almost Canon. We cover all sorts of Christmas related traditions. Traditions that date back to Roman and Greek festivals, Saint Nick, even how ancient pagans tripped out on red and white mushrooms and had to enter their homes through the chimneys!
Re-Post: Terror in the Gulf
01:18:26||Season 1You'll be getting two episodes this week. One is a re-post in honor of hunting season, a time of year where unsuspecting, non-believers, find out the hard way that there are things out there we can't explain. Just like the main subject in this episode. So our guest tonight has hunted a family plot for years and on this particular year, he and his daughter came face to face with a beast, they could only describe as Bigfoot. They then ran for their lives, out of this area locally known as 'the Gulf' and back to the safety of their camp. This is an incredible Sasquatch encounter that takes place at a hunting camp! So this year, while your at camp or sitting in your stand and you hear a branch snap or something, quietly, walking through the leaves below you, just tell yourself that its probably nothing......Don't forget to leave a rating and a review!Re-post: Demon Downing
01:08:14|I wasn't able to finish all my notes for this weeks episodes. So while I finish whipping that up, here's a repost of an encounter a woman had with a patient who was often seen at the hospital she worked at. Except this time, she had a front row seat, sitting just in front of the woman's room. Now, she wasn't a nurse, but she did witness some very strange activity coming from the room, activities that would suggest the woman was possessed....Don't forget to leave a rating and review! We need your help to continue moving the show forward. it's been incredibly hard breaking through the noise that is 10,000 podcast and one way she can is by receiving review after review after review.
159. The Strangest Missing 411 Case You Probably Never Heard Of
42:42||Season 1, Ep. 159This week we take a look at one of the strangest Missing 411 case you've probably never heard of, I know I hadn't up until this point. We heard a lot about Dennis Martin, Stacy Arras, or Sammy Boehlke, but there are so many missing children within the page of the Missing 411 book series its not surprising there are cases that don't seem to get a lot of attention. And the Case of Douglas or "Dougie" Legg is one of those cases. So sit back, relax and enjoy this weeks episode.Happy Halloween Everyone! Officially, Spooky Season is coming to a close but I'm going to try and keep that Halloween vibe alive for as long as I can!
