Welcome to season 7, episode 4 of the I Want to Believe podcast!

Robert Michael Pyle, the bearded lepidopterist who stole our hearts with his seminal work, Where Bigfoot Walks, is a man of many talents and pursuits. He is, of course, an author... but also a naturalist, a professor, a poet, he has been a husband, and now a widower.

In 2020, he was lovingly portrayed by actor David Cross in the movie The Dark Divide. With special co-host Christina, we’ll be discussing the life and adventures of one of cryptozoology’s most unexpected proponents.

Welcome to the I Want to Believe podcast! What do you get when it’s the early 1960s, you have 4 British teens and a UFO sighting? Well, it has nothing to do with the Beatles... we’ll let ya know in a sec...

But first!! A quick reminder that ALL of our I Want to Believe social media & email are below. ALSO you can watch my documentary, Otherworldly Amor on Amazon Prime right now, DVDs are available. Ok... let's find out more about the Bat Beast of Kent...

On the evening of November 16, 1963, 17-year old John Flaxton, 18-year old Mervyn Hutchinson and two other younger friends were walking on Sandling Road in the county of Kent — Kent is a county in South East England, it borders Greater London to the north-west, Surrey to the west and East Sussex to the south-west. The county also shares borders with Essex along the estuary of the River Thamesa. It has also been said that the region is-quote, “apparently rife with cryptozoological and paranormal activity”.

I Want to Believe the Podcast – S3 Bonus Episode 4 | The 1884 UFO Crash at Dundy County

Sources: Only In Your State | Nebraska.gov

Welcome to the I Want to Believe podcast, I’m Nomar Slevik. June 6, 1884... something otherworldly happened in Nebraska...

But first!! A quick reminder that ALL of our I Want to Believe social media & email are in the show notes. You can watch my documentary, Otherworldly Amor on Amazon Prime right now, DVDs are available. ALSO I have a new book that we are trying to get funded for self publishing. It is called Granite Skies: A Disconcerted Journey Through the Unknown. A GoFundMe link for that book and everything else is below. Alright... it’s time to talk about the 1884 Dundy County UFO Crash.

A lot of interesting things happened in the year 1884. For example, On May 1st 1884 the dreaded 8-hour work day was first proclaimed by the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions. It was then known as May-Day, we now call it Labor Day (and moved to the beginning of September.) On May 17, Alaska became a US Territory. On August 5th, the cornerstone for the Statue of Liberty was laid. The first recorded photograph of a tornado was taken on August 28, 1884 by an F.N. Robinson in South Dakota and on November 4th, Grover Cleveland won the election for the President of the United States. But one event that you won’t read about in history books or found on a Wikipedia page for historic events for 1884 is an often-overlooked story in the history of Ufology. Its about a UFO crash... listen to the episode for the full story.

UFOs... well, that topic has been all over mainstream media lately, including a recent government report from the OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE released on June 25, 2021.

In part, the report states that it is an, “...intelligence assessment of the threat posed by unidentified aerial phenomena and the progress the Department of Defense Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF) has made in understanding this threat.”

So, what does that have to do with Patton Oswalt? Kyle will get to that.

Welcome to episode 4, season 5 of the I Want to Believe podcast!

The word doppelgänger is German in origin, and means "double goer" or "double walker." And while the word is sometimes used to describe someone's real-life lookalike, the word is technically defined as "a ghostly counterpart of a living person," which directly implies its paranormal nature. Tonight, we’ll be sharing some creepy doppelganger stories... As always, all stories are from various websites and subreddit forums and will be conveyed as is – in a first-person narrative. While we cannot speak to the veracity of these encounters, we do hope you enjoy them.

Before we jump into the episode, we wanted to provide the I Want to Believe social media & email links.

My brand-new book, We Only Come Out at Night, is now available for purchase. This book is a collection of short horror stories and can be found online at: SlevikStore.Company.Site and at the Green Hand Bookshop.

Check out the episode for some creepy doppelganger stories.

There’s reported anomaly haunting a basin in Phippsburg. This one is in the form of a bipedal creature with wings, and a terrifying scream.

The Basin is a wooded area long known for late night forest parties and beer-fueled shenanigans. The few who have seen it describe a creature half man and half bird.
