| 4/7/26 | Why 12,000-Year-Old T-Pillars Just Appeared in the Euphrates River THE WEEKLY STRANGE Episode 72 | The map of the Neolithic revolution just changed forever. In January 2026, receding waters of the Atatürk Dam in the Adıyaman province of Turkey revealed something archaeologists thought was confined to a small cluster: monumental T-pillars identical to those found at Göbekli Tepe. This discovery proves that the "Pillar Religion" of the Stone Hills (Taş Tepeler) was far more widespread and sophisticated than previously believed.

| 4/7/26 | Sasquatch In My Back Yard? Jon's Possible May 2025 Bigfoot Incident THE WEEKLY STRANGE Episode 71 | You don’t expect to find a legend just miles from a bustling city, but something changed in Jon's suburban Boston back yard last May. We often think of Sasquatch as a creature of the deep Pacific Northwest, but what Jon experienced made him question all of his assumptions about Bigfoot. In this video, Jon breaks down exactly what happened—strange noises, awful smells, and eerie sensations. Was it a black bear passing through, or something else entirely?

| 4/7/26 | The Mapinguari: Brazilian Bigfoot That Guards Amazon’s Lost Cities THE WEEKLY STRANGE Episode 70 | Deep within the "Terra Firme" of the Amazon Rainforest, where human footprints are rare and ancient ruins are swallowed by the canopy, lives a creature that shouldn't exist. It is known as the Mapinguari - the Brazilian Bigfoot. Witnesses describe a 7-to-9-foot-tall monster with matted red fur, a paralyzing "stench of death," and skin so thick that bullets bounce off it like pebbles.

| 4/7/26 | Bigfoot in the Backyard: The Shocking Proximity of Sasquatch to Boston THE WEEKLY STRANGE Episode 69 | We often think of Bigfoot as a creature of the deep, untouched wilderness of the Pacific Northwest or the vast North Woods of Maine. But what if the world's most elusive apex predator is living right on the edge of the Boston skyline? In this episode, Jon explores the "Urban Fringe" theory. He looks at the green corridors that lead directly into the heart of the Greater Boston area—from the rugged terrain of the Blue Hills Reservation to the dense, rocky thickets of the Middlesex Fells. These aren't just parks; they are part of an "Emerald Necklace" of connected wetlands and forests that allow a large creature to move unseen within miles of Fenway Park. Boston may be a concrete jungle, but the shadows on its edges are deeper than you think. Don't forget to Like, Subscribe, and Hit That Notification Bell!

| 4/7/26 | The First Abduction? The Story of Betty & Barney Hill THE WEEKLY STRANGE Episode 68 | September 19, 1961, changed the landscape of the paranormal forever. While driving through the dark mountain passes of Franconia Notch, New Hampshire, Betty and Barney Hill encountered a craft that would result in the world's most famous "missing time" event. But was it just a story? Or is there something more to it? Jon looks at the events that took place and also into the often-overlooked corroboration from the 764th Radar Squadron at East Mountain Radar Station in Vermont, where an anomalous object was tracked the very night the Hills were taken. Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, the Hill case remains the "Gold Standard" of ufology because of the physical and technical evidence that refuses to go away.

It isn't a bear, and it definitely isn't a werewolf. In this video, Jon investigates the terrifying reality of the New England Dogman. From the high-stakes 2021 encounter in Methuen, Massachusetts, to chilling recent reports from the White Mountains of New Hampshire in late 2024 and Maine in 2025, Jon tracks this bipedal predator across all six states.

| 4/5/26 | The Impossible Mystery of Bigfoot on Cape Cod THE WEEKLY STRANGE Episode 66 | Is it possible for a 8-foot-tall apex predator to cross one of the most guarded waterways in America? Cape Cod, Massachusetts, is famous for its beaches, but for cryptid researchers, the real story lies in the dense pine barrens and the restricted acreage of Joint Base Cape Cod. In this video, Jon tackles the "Canal Problem," and explores the polarizing theories of how a Sasquatch could possibly reach the peninsula—from swimming the treacherous, high-velocity currents of the Cape Cod Canal to making a high-stakes midnight dash across the Railroad Bridge.

| 4/5/26 | Hidden Highways: Tracking Sasquatch Migration Routes in Massachusetts THE WEEKLY STRANGE Episode 65 | Is Sasquatch hiding in the Bay State? While many associate Bigfoot with the Pacific Northwest, Massachusetts has a dense history of sightings that suggest a sophisticated, seasonal migration pattern. In this deep-dive documentary, Jon explores the three primary "Hidden Highways" used by these elusive beings: the Berkshire-Taconic Corridor, the mysterious "Monsterland" of Central MA, and the high-strangeness of the Bridgewater Triangle. Whether you're a seasoned researcher or a skeptic, the data reveals a fascinating pattern of movement across one of America's most densely populated states.

| 4/4/26 | The Vanishing Passenger: The Mystery of Phantom Hitchhikers THE WEEKLY STRANGE Episode 64 | It is perhaps the most persistent urban legend in history. You’re driving down a lonely highway at night, you pick up a quiet passenger in distress, and minutes later, they simply vanish from your moving vehicle. From Resurrection Mary on Chicago’s Archer Avenue to the tragic "Bride-to-be" of Blue Bell Hill in Kent, the Phantom Hitchhiker is a global phenomenon that has haunted our roads for generations. Jon explores the factual folklore and regional case studies that define this spectral commuter. Is this legend a collective psychological response to the dangers of the road, or are these highways truly conduits for restless spirits?

The Jellyfish UAP has become one of the most baffling categories of unidentified phenomena ever recorded by the US military. From the leaked 2018 footage over a joint operations base in Iraq to the brand-new sightings, Jon takes a deep dive into an object that defies every known law of aerodynamics. With recent Congressional hearings bringing "Age of Disclosure" topics to the forefront, the Jellyfish remains the smoking gun for many UAP researchers.

This was not a fleeting glimpse—the witness observed the creature for 5-10 seconds in full daylight at a distance of only 200 feet.

| 4/3/26 | The Dybbuk Box: The Truth About the World's Most Haunted Object THE WEEKLY STRANGE Episode 61 | The Dybbuk Box is famous as the source of strokes, nightmares, and financial ruin—a small, antique wine cabinet containing a malevolent Jewish possessing spirit. Its story has inspired a major horror film and now resides in a highly protected exhibit at a haunted museum.

Jon then dissects the true nature of the Dybbuk spirit in traditional Jewish folklore, revealing the fundamental contradiction at the heart of the legend.

| 4/3/26 | The Mysterious Sea People Who Destroyed the Bronze Age THE WEEKLY STRANGE Episode 60 | Around 1200 BCE, an unprecedented catastrophe struck the ancient world, bringing down nearly every major civilization from Greece to Mesopotamia. This event, known as the Bronze Age Collapse, was fueled by an enigmatic and terrifying maritime force: The Sea People. Using primary sources from Ancient Egyptian records—specifically the temple of Ramesses III at Medinet Habu—Jon tracks the origins and devastating path of this coalition of raiders and migrants. We analyze the different groups (Peleset, Sherden, Denyen) and explore the complex archaeological evidence suggesting they were not the only cause of the collapse, but the final, fatal blow. Discover the "perfect storm" of events that made the empires so vulnerable.

| 4/3/26 | The Barmanou: Pakistan's Elusive Bigfoot-like Cryptid THE WEEKLY STRANGE Episode 59 | The Barmanou is perhaps the most compelling and terrifying human-like cryptid you’ve never heard of. Forget the giant Yeti; meet the Wild Man of the Hindu Kush—a stocky, muscular creature that some researchers believe is a surviving relic hominid, perhaps a form of Neanderthal. Jon goes deep into the treacherous mountains of Northern Pakistan to uncover the chilling story of the Barmanou.

| 4/3/26 | The Iran Incident Where F-4 Fighter Jets Were Crippled by a UAP THE WEEKLY STRANGE Episode 58 | Dive into the details of the highly corroborated Tehran UFO Incident of September 19, 1976, one of the most compelling military-UAP confrontations in history, verified by a declassified U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) report. Jon analyzes the events of that night, starting with the initial civilian and air traffic control reports of an intensely bright, shape-shifting object over the capital. Followed by the scrambling of two advanced Imperial Iranian Air Force F-4 Phantom II jets and the immediate, profound consequences. The second encounter culminated with the main UAP deploying a smaller, aggressive secondary object that pursued the F-4 before vanishing. This is a factual, technical analysis of a documented case where advanced military hardware was decisively neutralized by an unknown aerial phenomenon.

| 4/3/26 | Göbekli Tepe: The 12,000-Year-Old Temple That Rewrote History THE WEEKLY STRANGE Episode 57 | Journey to southeastern Turkey and explore Göbekli Tepe, the world’s oldest known temple, a monumental site dating back to 9600 BCE—predating Stonehenge by six millennia and the Egyptian pyramids by seven. Built by hunter-gatherers during the Pre-Pottery Neolithic period, Göbekli Tepe fundamentally challenges the long-held belief that agriculture and settled life had to precede complex social organization and monumental architecture. Jon examines the massive, intricately carved 16-ton T-shaped pillars, the engineering feat required to move them with only stone tools, and the mysterious iconography of wild animals and stylized human figures. And he explores the revolutionary hypothesis that the need for communal ritual and shared belief—not agricultural surplus—was the primary catalyst that drove humanity to settle down, leading directly to the birth of civilization itself.

| 4/2/26 | USAF Vet Witnesses Sasquatch "Gliding" Across I-80 in 3 Seconds THE WEEKLY STRANGE Episode 56 | Dive into the details of one of the most compelling and high-credibility Bigfoot reports of this season: the daylight sighting on I-80 in Centre County, Pennsylvania, in early October 2025. Jon breaks down the testimony of the eyewitness, a retired civil engineer, Air Force veteran, and lifelong hunter, whose credibility makes misidentification virtually impossible. The most critical part of the report is the creature's movement, described not as a human sprint but as an impossible, smooth "glide or sliding motion" that effortlessly carried it over the median guardrail. This meticulous, broad daylight observation of a physics-defying gait is a key data point for Sasquatch researchers, proving that this phenomenon is active, elusive, and operating in some of the most visible corridors of the American wilderness.

| 4/2/26 | Brazil's Roswell: the 1996 Varginha Incident & Alien Recovery THE WEEKLY STRANGE Episode 55 | Step back to January 1996, when the quiet city of Varginha, Brazil, became the site of one of the most explosive and chilling UAP incidents in modern history. Often called the "Brazilian Roswell," this case involves multiple consistent witnesses—including teenage girls, military firemen, and hospital staff—who reported seeing, capturing, and handling a non-human entity following a confirmed UAP crash. Jon analyzes the subsequent, rapid military cleanup operation, the alleged transportation of two entities to local hospitals, and the shocking, suspicious death of Sergeant Marco Eli Cherese, the soldier allegedly involved in the creature's direct capture. Despite the Brazilian military's persistent denial, the consistent testimony of high-level sources strongly suggests a complex cover-up of an extraterrestrial recovery.

| 4/1/26 | Peñico: 3,800-Year-Old 'Peace City' Shatters Civilizations Myth THE WEEKLY STRANGE Episode 53 | After its discovery in 2017, the long lost city of Peñico, a 3,800-year-old city belonging to the ancient Caral civilization—the oldest urban society in the Americas, is finally unveiled This major archaeological announcement from 2025 is rewriting the history of human development. Jon explores why Peñico is dubbed "The City of Social Integration," featuring monumental architecture, pyramids, and plazas, yet containing absolutely no evidence of warfare, weapons, or fortifications. Discovered on a strategic terrace in the Supe Valley, Peñico served as a crucial hub of trade, connecting the Andes, the Pacific coast, and the Amazon rainforest through economic cooperation and consensus, not conquest. Learn how this peaceful society survived a massive global climate crisis—the 4.2 kiloyear event—by investing in sophisticated seismic-resistant engineering, musical ritual (evidenced by the pututus), and diplomacy rather than military might.
