Within The Mist
Hibagon
Ep. 236
•
It’s 1970 and Japan is still rebuilding from the scars of war. Deep in the misty Chugoku Mountains of Hiroshima Prefecture, on a lonely road hugging the edge of Mount Hiba, a truck driver is heading home under a blood-red sunset. His headlights cut through the fog… and something steps out.
This is no bear nor is it a man but rather a hulking, ape-like shadow – five feet tall, covered in dark bristly fur, with glaring intelligent eyes that lock onto his. It crosses the road in two heart-stopping seconds and vanishes into the trees. He slams the brakes when the stench hits him – rotting meat and wet earth. That night, he tells anyone who’ll listen so that within weeks, the entire region is gripped by “Hibagon fever.”
For five years, the Bigfoot of Hiroshima – the creature locals named the Hibagon – haunted these mountains. It never hurt a soul… but it refused to stay hidden.
Today, join us as we drive within the mists of Japan to relive the true encounters that terrified a people… and left a mystery that cryptid hunters are still chasing fifty years later.

240. La Mala Hora
40:01||Ep. 240Driving alone on a deserted New Mexico road after midnight, the headlights cut through the darkness, but something steps into the beam ahead. At first, it looks like a shifting black lump... writhing, growing, shrinking. Then it becomes her—a woman at the crossroads. You swerve. Your heart hammers. And in that moment, you know: someone close to you is about to die.Join Gary & GoldieAnn today as we drive Within the Mists of New Mexico to unravel the legend of La Mala Hora—the Evil Hour—feared in New Mexico more than the Devil himself. Watch the crossroads with us... if you dare."
239. Mapinguari
39:15||Ep. 239Deep in the heart of the Brazilian Amazon, the trees swallow the sunlight, and every shadow seems alive... and something ancient stirs. A creature so foul-smelling it turns the air to poison. So powerful it uproots trees with a single swipe. So terrifying that hardened hunters flee at its roar. Is it mere legend... or a survivor from the Ice Age, still walking among us? Today, join us as we dive within the mists of the Amazon to discover the Mapinguari – a beast that defies bullets, devours men, and may be far older than the forest itself. Stay close... and whatever you do, don't go hunting on a Sunday.
238. Bogus Basin Trolls
30:39||Ep. 238Up a dark mountain road at dusk, there is snow covering the evergreens. Headlights cut through the fog on the long and lonely road. Then... you see it: a cattle guard rattling under your tires. Drivers ahead of you suddenly fling open their car doors – just for a second – before speeding on. They’re not crazy. They’re paying tribute because something lives under that grate on Bogus Basin Road. Something ancient. Something that rides with you to the ski slopes... or punishes those who refuse. Join Gary & GoldieAnn today as we travel Within the Mists of Idaho to bring you the true tale of the Bogus Basin trolls. Buckle up. And whatever you do... open the door.
237. Cypress Cindy
37:35||Ep. 237Drifting through the misty cypress trees of Caddo Lake, Louisiana, at dusk. The water is still... too still. Then something massive breaks the surface – dark, 18 to 20 feet long, wide as a car top, gliding silently like a living shadow. Fishermen swear it wasn't a boat. In the spring of 1969, this wasn't a campfire story. It was front-page news in the Shreveport Times. Locals named her Cypress Cindy. And today, join Gary and GoldieAnn as they go deeper Within the Mists of Louisiana and into the documented encounters that had an entire Louisiana-Texas border community on edge. This is no myth... this is what they reported. Stay tuned... if you dare.
235. Clarita Villaneuva Possession
44:26||Ep. 235A sweltering Manila jail cell in 1953 is home to a teenage girl alone on a concrete floor. Suddenly she screams—a raw, animal sound that echoes off the walls. Fresh, human bite marks rip open on her neck and hands… but no one is touching her. Doctors stand inches away, holding her arms down, and watch the teeth impressions appear in real time. Blood wells under the skin. The bites keep coming. This isn’t a horror movie. This is the case of Clarita Villanueva—one of the most documented and witnessed alleged demonic possessions in modern history. Over a hundred medical professionals, reporters, and even the Mayor of Manila saw it with their own eyes. Tonight, join us as Gary & GoldieAnn as they go Within the Mists of the Philippines jail, into the examinations, and into the final exorcism that made headlines around the world. Stay with us… if you risk being bitten by the unseen – The Possession of Clarita Villanueva.

Then… a sound disturbs the peaceful setting. Not a bird. Not a car. A high, unearthly wailing… like an ambulance. They follow it across an old footbridge… and what emerges from the reeds isn’t a person. It’s something that looks like a clown crossed with a robot. Tall. Silent. Friendly in the most terrifying way. This isn’t a Stephen King book. This is the only documented encounter with the being who called himself… Sam. Join us today as we wander within the mists of England to tell you the full story from the British UFO Research Association files… you’ll never look at a clown the same way again after meeting Sam the Sandown Clown.

You would expect it to be a fish leaping for an insect breakfast, yet it's not.A blunt, pig-like snout rises, followed by a long, powerful eel body ending in a tail that curls like a whip.

And tonight… It’s coming for you.Join Gary and GoldieAnn as they tell you the true, documented nightmare of the Rood Dude. Stay with us… if you dare.
