• S4 E33: Hellboy, Skinwalkers, & The Catskills Crone
    Nov 18 2024

    Welcome back to your favorite podcast, That Would Be Rad! This week, Tyler and Woody dive into the eerie and mysterious world of the Catskills Crone while sprinkling in some rad tangents about comic book legends and high-strangeness experiences. This episode is packed with folklore, spine-tingling suspense, and a dose of comic book brilliance.

    Imagine hiking through the dense woods of the Catskills and stumbling upon a strange, ancient-looking statue with nails in its eyes and a noose around its neck. Would you take it home? That's exactly what happened to two hikers, and the bizarre events that followed are the stuff of nightmares. From unexplained noises and ghostly apparitions to the unsettling presence of muddy footprints, this story will have you questioning the very nature of reality.

    Tyler and Woody unravel this chilling tale, discussing its connection to the rich folklore of the Catskills, including tales of gnomes, fairies, and other mystical creatures. They explore the region's history, its ties to Native American legends, and the possibility of it being a window area for paranormal activity.

    But that’s not all! This week, Woody and Tyler also take a deep dive into the genius of Mike Mignola and his groundbreaking work on Hellboy. From his distinct use of shadow and minimalist design to his ability to blend folklore, mythology, and cosmic horror, Mignola has created a universe that feels timeless and utterly unique. Whether you're a longtime fan or just discovering Hellboy, you’ll love this tribute to one of comic’s greats.

    And as if things couldn’t get stranger, Woody shares his possible encounter with a skinwalker in his own neighborhood. What started as strange noises and fleeting shadows in the woods behind his house turned into something much more unsettling. Could it be just a trick of the imagination—or was there something watching him from the dark? Tune in to hear the full story and decide for yourself.

    Join us as we delve into the documentary The Unbinding, which chronicles the journey of the Catskills Crone from its discovery to its current home with paranormal investigators Greg and Dana Newkirk. Whether you're here for the high strangeness, the historical context, or just to hear two best friends discuss the unexplained, this episode promises to keep you on the edge of your seat.

    Welcome back to your favorite podcast, That Would Be Rad! This week, Tyler and Woody delve into one of the most chilling and legendary tales of extraterrestrial encounters: the Kelly-Hopkinsville Goblins.

    This eerie story, set in the 1950s rural Kentucky, is packed with high strangeness, folklore, and spine-tingling suspense.

    Picture this: a warm summer night in 1955, the Sutton family finds themselves besieged by mysterious creatures after a strange light is spotted in the sky.

The story's legacy continues to intrigue and mystify, as the Sutton family maintained their account until their last days, never seeking fame or fortune.

  • S4 E29: The Mysterious Crying Boy Painting & Other Cursed Objects
    Oct 14 2024

    Welcome back to another spine-tingling episode of your favorite podcast, That Would Be Rad!

    This week, Tyler and Woody dive into the enigmatic and chilling tale of "The Curse of the Crying Boy." Set against the backdrop of the hauntingly beautiful fall mornings, they explore the eerie legend surrounding a seemingly innocent painting that left a trail of destruction across England in the 1980s.

    Imagine a painting so cursed that it survives fires that destroy entire homes. This is the story of the Crying Boy, a portrait that has been linked to over 50 mysterious house fires, leaving only the painting unscathed amidst the ashes. Tyler and Woody unravel the layers of this mystery, questioning whether the painting is merely a victim of mass hysteria or if it holds a darker, supernatural power.

    As they delve deeper, they explore the possible connections between art and energy, pondering whether emotions can be trapped in brushstrokes and whether these emotions can manifest in the real world. They also touch on the fascinating world of chaos magic and its potential influence on this bizarre phenomenon.

    Join us for a captivating journey into the unknown as we examine cursed objects, from haunted paintings to sinister vases, and consider the possibility that some things are better left untouched.

  • S4 E27: You're Being Impersonated By the Other Voice - THE GARY SUDBRINK STORY
    Sep 23 2024

    Welcome back to another episode of your favorite podcast, That Would Be Rad! This week, Tyler and Woody dive deep into the eerie world of mysterious phone calls, doppelgangers, and strange encounters with the unknown.

    Our story begins in early February 1993, a time when Bill Clinton had just taken office, Aladdin was still dominating the box office, and Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" was the anthem playing everywhere. It was a pre-smartphone era, where landlines ruled and mysterious calls could send shivers down your spine.

    Enter Gary Sudbrink, an Air Force captain stationed in San Antonio, Texas, who decided to take a surprise trip to visit his family in Long Island, New York. Little did he know, this trip would lead to a series of bizarre and unsettling phone calls that remain unexplained to this day.

    Imagine receiving a call from a robotic, mechanical voice that knows intimate details about your life, asking strange questions and making cryptic statements like "Keep your eye on the skies near Orion" and "We come to be within this planet." This is exactly what happened to Gary, and he had the presence of mind to record these calls, adding a layer of credibility and intrigue to this already mysterious case.

    As we dissect these calls, we explore various theories, from government interference and men in black encounters to time travel and interdimensional beings. Could these calls be a warning? An attempt to communicate from another dimension? Or something even more sinister?

    Join us as we unravel the details of this strange case, discuss its implications, and share our thoughts on what might really be going on. Whether you're here for the high strangeness, the eerie nostalgia of the '90s, or just to hear two best friends dive deep into the unknown, this episode has something for everyone.

  • S4 E26: Aliens in the Forest - The Cisco Grove Incident
    Sep 16 2024

    Welcome back to your favorite podcast, That Would Be Rad! This week, Tyler and Woody dive into an eerie and intense encounter from September 1964, known as the Cisco Grove UFO Incident.

    Imagine being stranded alone in the woods, only to be confronted by mysterious beings and a menacing robot. This is exactly what happened to 26-year-old Donald Shrum, a welder and painter for Aerojet General Corporation, during a hunting trip in Cisco Grove, California.

    Separated from his friends as night fell, Don climbed a tree to avoid predators. What he thought was a search helicopter turned out to be something far more sinister. Over the next 12 hours, Don faced relentless attempts by these beings to abduct him, using knockout gas and other tactics. His survival instincts kicked in as he fought back with everything he had, from arrows to setting his own clothing on fire.

    This episode is packed with high strangeness, from descriptions of the beings that looked like they were wearing welders' goggles to the mechanical robot with glowing red eyes that seemed to emit a knockout gas. We explore the implications of this encounter, the possible motives behind it, and how it affected Don for the rest of his life.

    Could this be a case of extraterrestrial beings collecting samples?

    Or was it a top-secret military experiment gone wrong?

    Join us as we dissect this harrowing tale and discuss the various theories that surround it.

    So sit back, relax, and get ready for an episode filled with suspense, mystery, and the unknown. Whether you're here for the UFOs, the high strangeness, or just to hear two best friends dive deep into the unexplained, this episode has something for everyone.
