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!
