    This Week's Episode — December 22: Gene and cohost Tim Swartz present Joshua Cutchin and Ryan Grulich, creators of a true crime documentary, The Lady of the Lake. Director, writer, and producer Ryan Grulich and producer Joshua Cutchin have unearthed the strange case of Hallie Illingworth. The Lady of the Lake follows investigator Amanda Paulson and her team as they delve into the chilling case of Hallie Illingworth, a local woman who disappeared in 1937 and was found three years later in Lake Crescent under disturbing circumstances. As Paulson’s team digs deeper, they uncover unsettling truths about Hallie’s tragic fate, revealing a history of violence and long-buried secrets. The investigation leads them beyond the mystery of Hallie’s death, unraveling a web of disturbing stories that have remained hidden for decades and uncovering a horrifying truth about the lake’s dark past and the fate of those who enter its depths. As a filmmaker, Grulich is known for such films as Foolish Mortals, a look at the fan culture surrounding Disney’s Haunted Mansion. Cutchin is the author of a number of critically-acclaimed books such as “ A Trojan Feast: The Food and Drink Offerings of Aliens, Faeries, and Sasquatch”; “ The Brimstone Deceit: An In-Depth Examination of Supernatural Scents, Otherworldly Odors, & Monstrous Miasmas ”; “ Where the Footprints End: High Strangeness and the Bigfoot Phenomenon,” Volumes I & II , with Timothy Renner; and “ Ecology of Souls: A New Mythology of Death & the Paranormal.

General Freewheeling Chit-Chat

There are many things that fall within the field of the paranormal, and this is your place to discuss the issues that interest you. What's more, it doesn't have to be related to the paranormal. Most any subject is fair game.

Youth and UFOs

Why is it that teenagers no longer seem to get involved in looking for UFOs, as we did when we were young? Your ideas are welcomed, and we'd like to also hear from those under 21, if they're listening.
