S2E1: The Glimmer Man and Wendigo

In the first episode of season 2 of #creaky, Megan and Brooks investigate a new cryptid that they’ve never heard of before, the Glimmer Man and how it is slightly similar to the Wendigo.

What is the Glimmer Man?

If you are a fan of the movie Predator with Arnold Schwarzenegger then you are familiar with what the creature looks like while it is cloaking itself to be invisible. You can still see it’s outline but the inside is blurry and see-through. That is very similar to the Glimmer Man cryptid.

Most accounts say that it is very large, blurry but see through with yellow eyes. Most happen deep within the woods or wilderness, far from other people. A lot of the experiences with the Glimmer Man come from hunters, hikers or those who live in very rural areas.

During most Glimmer Man experiences, there is dead silence before it appears. Those who’ve encountered the Glimmer Man detail a sense of someone watching them, that eerie feeling that they are not alone.

Glimmer Man Similarities to Wendigo

The Wendigo is a creature or evil spirit that has a history with the Native Americans in the Plains and Great Lakes area. They are described as very powerful with a desire to murder and devour their victims. They look like half man and half monster with elk horns and a skull for a face. They are also very tall, dark, and ominous.

The Wendigo is said to have the power to control the mind of their victims, to be able to make them see and hear things that aren’t really there in order to lure them to their death. In some of the experiences we discuss, the Glimmer Man also has mind control powers and lures victims by making them hear loved ones crying for help in the woods.

Could the Glimmer Man be related in some way to the Wendigo? We believe it’s possible.

Is the Glimmer Man Responsible for Missing People Lost in the Woods?

Megan and Brooks discuss an experience that was told in the documentary Missing 411 that sounds very similar to the other experiences they discussed with the Glimmer Man. A woman was hunting in the woods when she saw the outline of a huge blurry figure moving through the woods. Soon after that, teens at a nearby school saw a UFO over their football field.

Since the Glimmer Man is seen deep in the woods and may have the ability to manipulate it’s victims with mind control and voice cloaking, we believe it is possible that it could explain why some missing victims are never seen again.

Do you believe in the Glimmer Man or Wendigo? Could it also be similar to a skinwalker?

Episode 14: Cattle Mutilations, UFOs & Animal Anomalies

Episodes, Aliens, Anomalies, Legends, UFOs

In this episode, Megan and Brooks discuss animal anomalies like flocks of birds dying for no apparent reason and dead fish washing up onshore. That leads to the discussion of cattle mutilations, a crazy pheonmena that is happening across the world and has been for decades.

Cattle Mutilations: Are UFOs to blame?

The first cattle mutilation recorded was in 1967 although that’s not to say they haven’t been going on for longer than that. These aren’t just your run-of-the-mill, animal attack mutilations. These mutilations are happening with ultimate precision and done so well, even a surgeon couldn’t be to blame.

Most of the time the mutilations are where the cow’s eye, jaw, tongue, and genitals are removed with a scalpel-like instrument without disturbing any of the flesh or membranes surrounding these areas. It’s almost like it was done perfectly.

All accounts happen at night, in the pitch blackness with no street lights around because they are miles away from any town or civilization. And may are done with only one road in and out of the farm making it impossible to be unnoticed. Before some of these mutilations, a UFO is seen in the area.

We talk about a specific cattle mutilation account in Australia that has photos of the UFO and the cattle mutilations. On one occasion, one of the cow’s stomachs was removed which was said to be impossible without disturbing the surrounding stomachs by a veterinarian. How are these cows being mutilated with no witnesses and no explanation. Do you have a theory?

Episode 12: Ghosts of the Lost Colony & The Graveyard of The Atlantic Hauntings in NC

Episodes, Ghosts, Legends

Megan and Brooks discuss the Lost Colony of Roanoke and paranormal experiences in and around Roanoke Island. Could they be connected? We also discuss the Graveyard of the Atlantic off the coast of NC and paranormal experiences in the OBX (outer banks) of NC.

The Lost Colony of North Carolina’s Ghosts and Ghost Stories

If you don’t know the history of the Lost Colony, here it is in a nutshell. In 1587, the first colony in America was in Roanoke in what is now Roanoke Island, North Carolina. 117 English men, women, and children came ashore to establish a permanent English settlement. Three years later when English ships returned in 1590 to bring supplies, the island was deserted with no sign of the colonists except the word “Croatoan” etched into a tree. The mystery of what happened to the colonists still hasn’t been solved to this day.

Now, people live on the island and there are lots of paranormal reports and encounters that have been documented. In one encounter we discuss, two teens heard a loud cat-like screeching and then saw a dark blob come down from the hills and over a pier until it just disappeared. This black blob has been seen by others in the area dating back hundreds of years. Could this blob have been responsible for the disappearance of the colonists? Is there something sinister on the island that tries to get people to leave?

The Graveyard of the Atlantic Hauntings

We also discuss another important part of North Carolina history, the graveyard of the Atlantic. If you look at the shoreline of NC, you can see it’s not a straight line and actually has lots of inlets and small islands of thin land around it.

Due to this jagged shoreline, many ships have gone down off the coast of North Carolina earning the name The Graveyard of the Atlantic. It’s estimated that just off NC’s coast there are at least 5,000 sunken ships in the area.

We discuss eerie experiences others have had close to the outer banks of North Carolina including seeing these ghost ships. Someone even had an experience with Blackbeard the pirate who was also killed off the coast of North Carolina on the inner side of Ocracoke Island.

Episode 11: Black-Eyed Children Experiences & Theories

Demons, Aliens, Episodes, Legends

In this episode of #creaky, Brooks and Megan discuss the legend of black-eyed children and those who’ve had experiences with them in the USA. We dive into theories on what exactly these creatures could be.

What Are Black-Eyed Children?

The name suggests these are children that have been abused but it’s quite the contrary. They say the eyes are the window to the soul but these children have blacked-out eyes, either hiding their soul or proving they are devoid of a soul. They are unlike any normal child.

These creatures are very articulate and convincing, trying to get you to invite them into your home or vehicle. We aren’t sure what their motive is but it can’t be good.

Black-Eyed Children Experiences

We discuss several experiences people across the United States have had with black-eyed children, even an experience with black-eyed elderly people.

One experience details two children trying to convince a man to take them to their home. He had a long conversation with the older boy who seemed very smart and mature for his age. He didn’t realize until later in the conversation that they had blacked-out eyes. After he saw this he became spooked and left.

Another experience was an elderly couple who actually let the children into their home. Not long afterwards bad things began to happen to them. Learn the full story by listening to the podcast on your favorite podcast platform.

Episode 10: Legend of Moon-Eyed People of North Carolina

Episodes, Aliens, Legends

Megan and Brooks discuss the moon-eyed people of NC which is a Cherokee legend mentioned several times throughout history. Are the moon-eyed people aliens? Welsh descendants? An ancient civilization of the human species?

History of the Moon-Eyed People of NC

Published accounts of the moon-eyed people date back to the late 1700s but according to Cherokee legend, they have been around hundreds of years before this. They are called “moon-eyed” because they only came out at night and had pale white skin. So, it was thought, they were very sensitive to sunlight, both their eyes and skin.

They were also described as very small and they lived in caves in the mountains of NC. They were considered natives because they were here long before Europeans came over.

They are called “Welsh Indians” in documents that declared the removal of Cherokees from NC in what we know as “the trail of tears”. They were called Welsh because it was theorized that they were the descendants of a Welsh prince named Madoc who appeared in the area more than 300 years before Columbus sailed to America. But, Madoc was officially said to have been lost at sea and there is no evidence that the moon-eyed people and Madoc were related.

Colonel Leonard Marbury who was an intermediary between the government and Cherokee people wrote that the Cherokee told him when they first arrived in the country which they now inhabit, they found it possessed by “moon-eyed-people” who could not see in the daytime. He believed they were an albino race.

Moon-Eyed People of NC Theories

Welsh Decendants

As stated above, some believe they are the descendants of a Welsh prince named Madoc who sailed the Atlantic but never returned. This is considered folklore because there are no historical accounts to prove it.

It’s said he sailed to America in 1170 and according to the story he took to the sea to escape internecine violence at home. Legend also says that Madoc’s voyagers intermarried with local Native Americans and that their Welsh-speaking descendants still live somewhere in the United States today.

Others speculate that these descendants were the moon-eyed people of NC but it doesn’t explain why they were so short, pale, and sensitive to the sun.

Alien Race

It’s speculated that the moon-eyed people were actually an alien race that was left on Earth to investigate it. It also ties into the Brown Mountain lights of NC that still happen today. Some say the Brown Mountain lights are aliens looking for the lost moon-eyed people from long before.

The moon-eyed people are thought to have built a wall to try and keep the Cherokee off of their land which is still standing today at Fort Mountain.

No one knows what happened to the moon-eyed people of NC and if they are still out there. There haven’t been recent sightings of them and the last known mention of them historically was in 1923 in the Chattanooga News.

What do you think the moon-eyed people were? Are they still alive?
