Join us as we explore the stranger aspects of our world. From bigfoot creatures and other cryptids to hauntings, hexes, magick, and more. A combination of historical research, witness interviews, discussion, and on-site recordings (where possible) is used to tell stories of the weird-but-true.

The Watcher

Customer Reviews
The Minotaur episode
I love this podcast, but now I am disillusioned. As a genealogist, this episodes facts were just blatantly incorrect. The story teller tries to indicate that they did historical research, but their conclusions are so clearly erroneous it’s hard to believe any research was really done ☹️
Unique but Used to Be Much Better
Ironically I was a patron at a bad time for the host and dropped it. The host and the show are unique but the format has changed so that only patrons get the best and most interesting episodes which feature original research. Regular listeners are served interviews with others and they are not all worthwhile. Of course patrons deserve special shows but they seem to not care about other listeners or building their show and I’m tuning in less and less
Not your average strangeness
I love this show because it’s different. The way Tim approaches questions to further give details on encounters is wonderfully done. He is gentle, accepting and makes a safe environment for this community to share their experiences while bringing comfort to the rest of us, knowing we are not alone.
