Something Else Hunts Here

Summary

Hosts Cam and Kyle share a batch of listener stories, most of them set in the outdoors, that suggest something unseen is watching hunters, campers, and families. The accounts include a Hmong hunter who lost three days in a Minnesota deer stand, a screaming crawler-like figure in Kansas, the blurry Glimmer Man returning to one man decades later, and a giant glowing worm floating through the Idaho timber. Along the way they cover shadow people, the Hat Man, a tall white being that slept in a child's barn, and a Wendigo-like creature that spoke perfect English.

Key takeaways

• 1A Hmong police officer says he sat in a Minnesota deer stand for what felt like a few hours, then learned three days had passed and he had been reported missing. He quit hunting afterward.
• 2A witness in Independence, Kansas, reports that on October 5 a slender six-foot figure screamed like a man and then like a panicked woman, flailed its arms like an inflatable advertising figure, and ran at inhuman speed.
• 3A Tennessee man saw a transparent, heat-wave-like blur during an unnatural forest silence as a boy. Nearly 30 years later it reappeared under the streetlamps near his house and seemed to nod at him. He identifies it as the 'Glimmer Man,' the subject of the hosts' book of the same name.
• 4A listener describes a giant, hairless white being with black eyes, nicknamed 'Radio,' that fiddled with a radio and slept on a couch in her family's barn. She later linked it to the Engineer alien in the film Prometheus.
• 5A man pointed a gun at a black figure in his bedroom while his wife recognized it as her dead brother. Hours later, a copper thief came onto their property.
• 6A boy in Emporia, Kansas, saw a man in a hat standing in a hallway where a homeowner had been shot during a robbery. A cousin separately reported seeing the same hat-wearing figure.
• 7A child at Pine Basin lodge in Idaho was lured by whistling and the words 'You almost had me' to a stretched-faced, emaciated figure she later compared to the Wendigo in the game Until Dawn.
• 8Two elk hunters near St. Joe, Idaho, watched a 10-12 foot glowing, pulsing worm float between trees. They felt unnaturally energized until they reached their truck, then suddenly drained. The hosts compared it to the 'sky whale' and 'sky jelly' phenomena.

Transcript excerpt

again so very much for joining us here today on Expanded Perspectives with me, KML. And as always, setting across from me right now is Big Bobby the Builder, Kyle Filser. How's it going, everybody? Yes, I'm here in Skeleton Studios on a nice, beautiful day in Texas. It's in the 60s. It's great. It's great weather. I wish it was like this six months a year, but then it'd be just like I was living in Northern California. Luckily, we only get about, or unluckily, we get weather like this for like maybe four weeks a year. It's either really hot. For real. Cold, but we never get just nice. No, it's great. Hey, all the new people, thanks for joining us. Absolutely. We have gotten a surge of new listeners. It is good to see, or well, see, to know you're there. Well, because we just hide in our studio. We never go anywhere, and we've kind of been on the tour lately. We've been going to the Ducks Unlimited Expo. We went to Ninjas or Butterflies, and we just are right now currently releasing episodes of the Halloween special on Ducks Unlimited. I'm sure if you follow us on social media, you're aware, and we've gotten a lot of new followers. Man, it's going crazy. It is awesome. I love building the community, and with building the community, always comes with more stories. Oh, no. What have you got? I got a possible time slip. Yes! It says, I was at my brother's wedding talking with his wife's side of the family. For some reason, we started talking about hunting, and one of her cousins, we'll call him John, told us why he quit. Now, he's a police officer, so that should give him some credibility. ...
