Perplexity: A Mystery Podcast

Throughout folktales around the world, large flying creatures often appear. Take the dragon for instance, people have been writing about these massive, terrifying, and beautiful creatures for centuries. And in more modern day tales, there's the Mothman, the “Birdman," or the Thunderbird. Many of these creatures have similar characteristics, and eyewitness reports are in the thousands. What they want with us is unclear, but it seems these kinds of creatures may be lurking amongst the shadows. So what would you do if one night, you heard the sound of a human baby crying outside your door? And when you peered out the window, you met the eyes of a 6 to 7 foot tall owl like creature with the face and hair of a woman? Or what if one night while visiting your loved ones in a cemetery, you whistled a tune, and something from the shadows whistled back? This is the story of La Lechuza.-------------------------WAYS TO SUPPORT & CONNECT:You can now become a Patron for $3/month for early access to content AND Patreon exclusive bonus episodes!

Human beings often describe having an inner monologue, or an inner voice. This is both a powerful and enigmatic aspect of our human experience. For many, this inner voice is a companion. It can even take on different tones and personas, ranging from supportive and encouraging to harsh and critical. The inner voice can also be a source of great strength and resilience, offering us self-affirmation, motivation, and a sense of purpose. And, according to some, it can be the sole reason you keep going in the most intense situations, ultimately saving your life.In this episode, Kaydra shares perplexing encounters and theories behind what has become known as Third Man Factor or Third Man Syndrome.This episode features Sierra from the Twisted and Uncorked podcast!

Be sure to tune into part one first if you missed it! Otherwise you're gonna be very lost. What would you do if you found a set of 6-toed footprints in your home? Is it possible for a farmer from the 16th century to send messages through a 1980s computer? What would you do if you saw shadow figures dancing across the walls of your cottage? This is the story of the Dodleston Messages, one of England's most documented unsolved mysteries. In part two, we will get into more intense seemly poltergeist and alien like activity happening at Meadow Cottage, the unsettling entity known as 2109, suspicious investigations that led to nowhere, theories, and research.

Have you ever felt a strange presence in the woods? Maybe you caught a glimpse of something darting behind a tree out of the corner of your eye? Most people would brush it off, chalk it up to a trick of the light or their imagination playing tricks. But what if I told you there are tiny beings living all around us, hidden in plain sight, with powers and secrets beyond our wildest dreams?Today we will be exploring the mysteries of the fae folk. We will venture into the unknown, uncovering tales and even alleged sightings of these elusive creatures.So dim the lights, get comfortable, and join me as we pull back the veil separating the fae realm from our own. You'll never look at a circle of mushrooms or twisting roots the same way again. The magic is out there, and it's closer than you think.----------------------WAYS TO SUPPORT & CONNECT:You can now become a Patron for $3/month for early access to content AND Patreon exclusive bonus episodes! https://patreon.com/perplexitymysterypodcastHit that follow button, drop a 5 star review, and spread the word!!!Buy Kaydra a coffee and get a shoutout: https://buymeacoffee.com/perplexitymysterypodcastGet your mysterious merch: https://www.bonfire.com/store/perplexity-mystery-podcast/ be sure to tag us on Instagram in your merch!Check out the Website: https://perplexitymysteryp.wixsite.com/perplexityFollow Perplexity on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube are PerplexityMysteryPodcast.CONTACT: Have a story to tell or want to request a topic?

But like many businesses, the buildings and the land often have...a story. What if I told you there were stories here of debauchery? Tragedy? Barbarity? And innumerable paranormal experiences?-------------------------------WAYS TO SUPPORT & CONNECT:You can now become a Patron for $3/month for early access to content AND Patreon exclusive bonus episodes! https://patreon.com/perplexitymysterypodcastHit that follow button, drop a 5 star review, and spread the word!!!Buy Kaydra a coffee and get a shoutout: https://buymeacoffee.com/perplexitymysterypodcastGet your mysterious merch: https://www.bonfire.com/store/perplexity-mystery-podcast/ be sure to tag us on Instagram in your merch!Check out the Website: https://perplexitymysteryp.wixsite.com/perplexityFollow Perplexity on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube are PerplexityMysteryPodcast.CONTACT: Have a story to tell or want to request a topic?
