So, let's start an awesome appreciation bit for each set of show notes. I want you to know that I appreciate you listening, so each new episode I'll open with a shout out to some listeners in different parts of the world to let you know how appreciative I am that you come back every week, choosing to spend time listening to me. This week's shout goes to my listeners in San Diego, California!
What a hell of a week. I'm sure many podcasts might not do things like this, but I wanted to really start my show notes by saying Slava Ukraini! The Forces of Ukraine liberated their southern city of Kherson this week. The Blue and Gold now flies back over their city in the South, turning back the clock on their tyrannical oppressor. Just quick plug to say to our Ukranian listeners, keep fighting back; the world is watching and we're cheering you on!
So the snow has set in this week, bringing with it another cold winter ahead. With that, however, I have some amazing stories to bring you this month. We opened last week, with the story of The Zodiac Killer. This week, we movie back into the subject of Extraterrestrials and UFOs; bringing with it the story of Betty and Barney Hill - the first reported Alien abductees in human history.
Their story is terrifying. I sympathize with them and couldn't imagine going through something as horrific as they did. That being said, there are some parts of this story that share similarities with our other Alien centric episodes, The Roswell Incident and The Men in Black. As for what those are, you'll just have to hit play!
Also, I hope you've been enjoying the new format for the show. I'm trying to experiment with multiple things, such as a shorter opening so that we can get into the story more quickly. So bear with me as I continue this process, but it also brings you something new every week so that makes me happy.
I hope you've been enjoying the episodes and content I put out. I try my best with social media, but i'm not artistically inclined. I do have some exciting opportunities to bring forward though. Be sure to check Facebook to see what I have lined up and you might be able to join me as part of The Insidious Agenda Podcast team.
That's all I have for this week, I'll be back with you next Tuesday - I'll see you then!
Stay spooky,
Nick

Chapter 18 - Dear Editor, this is the Zodiac speaking.

Chapter 18 - Dear Editor, this is the Zodiac speaking.
http://linktr.ee/insidiousagendapodcast
Welcome back to the newest Chapter of the Insidious Agenda Podcast. I know, I know - I said last week that it was going to be an episode about The Dyatlov Pass Incident. I'm currently trying to find a voice actress to do recording for some female parts in that episode; so if you're interested, please shoot me an e-mail! Thus, the Dyatlov Pass episode is postponed for the time being.
This episode, as you can discern from the title is a True Crime episode. Unlike our Villisca and Lizzie Borden True Crime x Paranormal episodes, this one deals specifically with True Crime. I'm trying to cover all the bases of "things that go bump in the night" so as not to wear out a certain area too quickly - hence why you've seen more topics presented than just Paranormal and Supernatural. So, I've really hoped you've been enjoying the amazing variation in the subjects. I've received really amazing feedback and enjoy making all the different episodes.
I know these aren't the typical show notes you see on podcasts and I use it more as an opportunity to say a few words to you all. Our social accounts don't receive much engagement so this is the best way to converse with everyone.
Our story covers a murder spree in California in the late 1960's by an assailant known as The Zodiac Killer. The most terrifying thing about this case is the fact that it was never solved, and the Zodiac could still be among us to this day.
I had a great time making this episode and giving a voice to some of the quotes and letters from the Zodiac. That's one thing I really love about the podcast is being able to immerse into the stories and have the opportunity to take one different roles.
I'm pleased to say that in early December I'll be introducing a new topic into the podcast - Conspiracy theories. We'll be starting out with one that's really well known and spiders into many different theories and directions. I'm really excited for it!
Anyway, it's time for you to hit play and walk back into the 1960s. Don't forget to subscribe before you go! I'll talk to you again next week.
Stay spooky,
Nick

Chapter 20 - Count Dracula and the Lore of Vampires
https://linktr.ee/insidiousagendapodcast
Hello everyone! I hope you're already one day into an amazing week. It's amazing how quickly the Holiday season is creeping up on us. For our shout out this week, we head to Africa where I'm going to shout out those listening in Durban, South Africa! Thanks for listening to the podcast and I hope you've been enjoying the episodes.
I had a lot of fun researching this episode as it's a mix of both reality and fiction. In this episode, I discuss true stories of Vampires that have plagued human history - like Petar Blagojevic. We discuss some of the lore that stemmed from those stories and helped to shape the famous literature of Bram Stoker and his creation of the most famous Vampire to have never existed, Count Dracula.
It's a bit of a break from our normal episodes grounded in reality but I believed it was pertinent to cover off some of the legacy and legends surrounding history's famous "Creature Features." Periodically, we will be covering others - like Werewolves. They're just such a staple, and Dracula a figurehead, of the Occult genre that I couldn't say no to doing an episode about them. Also, for those wondering, we investigate the Stoker version of Vampires. The Meyer version are not involved in our episode.
Looking forward, next week we're also going to welcome back Cassie Baxter to our Podcast for the long-awaited episode about The Dyatlov Pass incident. Ensure you're subscribed so you don't miss out on it!
Well, I hope you enjoy the episode and come back for another. I really appreciate you choosing to spend time listening to my Podcast!
Stay spooky,

Transcript

On the evening of September 19th, 1961, a couple named Betty and Barney Hill were driving back to their home in Portsmouth, New Hampshire after a beautiful vacation. While they were away, they witnessed the beauty and majesty of the Niagara escarpment. Being in awe of its beauty before moving on to their next destination. The storied, cultural city of Montreal. At about 10:30 pm, just to the south of the city of Lancaster, Betty noticed a strange glowing object in the sky. She would la
