It's our 50th episode and this time we're covering The Lake Erie Monster, also known as Lem or Lemmy (acronymically derived from Lake Erie Monster), and perhaps most popularly, as Bessie.

Bessie has been described as snake-like, 30-40 feet long, over a foot around. Her colour has been reported as grey, copper, and silver. Some say she has a dog-like head and large fins. Others say she has human-like arms. She has been the subject of superstitious sailors, drunk tourists, and newspaper hoaxes over the centuries. But the legend of the serpentine creature living in Lake Erie likely originated in Native American culture.

Perchance to Dream

This episode won't put you to sleep, but it may make you want to - in "Perchance to Dream," we will examine the scientific and mystical elements of sleep or more accurately...the lack of such.

Humans are the only animal species in the world that purposely stays awake and research clearly shows that Mother Nature has not nearly had enough time to assist us in adapting our bodies and minds to what has become the one of the most catastrophic habits of our modern times.

And while lack of sleep indeed damages our bodies, potentially resulting in death... simply put... sleeplessness does some very, very strange things to our minds and can induce what could only be described as an internal journey into the paranormal.

Ghosts of Antarctica

1 Recommendations

Antarctica is the most haunted place on earth. Located at the liminal edge of our maps. A place where there is one endless day of light, and one endless day of dark - both 6 months long. It's the only continent whose land is without a creation myth, because it never had an indigenous population. It's never had its own language, culture, history, or legends. It is a land of literal and proverbial emptiness - a canvas that its transient inhabitants can fill not only with dreams and ideas, but with nightmarish stories.
