An Idaho wilderness account describes a terrifying presence in an old mountain tunnel that may have been a Wendigo speaking English.
The brief
Kyle Filson and Cameron open with a hunter’s apparent time slip: an entire day disappears while he sits in a deer stand, raising questions about portals and revisiting the site.
The episode shifts from hunting hazards to stranger encounters, including a Kansas entity that imitates a woman’s voice and a Tennessee presence that may have been watching rather than threatening.
Listener accounts deepen the shadow-being discussion, connecting recurring bedroom figures and robed forms with ghosts, trauma-related experiences and the distinctive Hat Man.
The most unsettling account comes from an Idaho mountain tunnel, where a terrifying presence may be a Wendigo that appears able to speak English.
The hosts then widen the frame to an enormous pulsing creature and reports of sky whales, atmospheric jellyfish and other possible forms of life above the ground.
