Within The Mist
Padfoot
It’s past midnight on a fog-choked lane just south of Leeds. The last horse cart has rattled away. You’re alone, boots squelching in the mud. Then you hear it: pit-pat… pit-pat… Soft. Deliberate. Right behind your shoulder.
You whirl. Nothing. The padding sounds circle you, stalking you. A shape melts out of the hedge – eyes like blazing saucers, black shaggy bulk the size of a small donkey, chain links clinking faintly. It blocks the road. If you speak… if you strike… it gains power over you.
Tonight, Gary & GoldieAnn walk those very lanes Within the Mist of England with the Padfoot – the documented terror that has stalked the villages around Leeds for centuries.

236. Hibagon
39:53||Ep. 236It’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.
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.

40:52||Ep. 234A bright May afternoon in 1973 on the peaceful Isle of Wight. Two seven-year-old kids are playing by a quiet stream near Lake Common in Sandown of Wight, England. 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.

One photograph, a high-speed chase across rough terrain, and a lifetime of ridicule followed. Join Gary and GoldieAnn as they drive Within the Mists of Alabama to discover the Falkville Metal Man.
