Tracing Owls

247 episodes - English - Latest episode: 2 months ago - ★★★★★ - 30 ratings

An eccentrically nuanced exploration into Fortean philosophy, focusing on the roles of Mother Nature, the Trickster and the experiencer in shaping phenomena, with tremendous doses of absurdity, mischief, but also humility! Cryptids, UFOs, Paranormal phenomena, High strangeness and Fortean anomalies, do they all possibly originate from the same source? Are they actually a mirror to our own subconsciousness, and what may they teach us about ourselves? We seek to catalogue the overlooked, spotlight the disregarded, and remind that the cosmic expanse is much greater than our understanding of it!

Lindsay shares her research into the sad story of an abused woman lost to history and falsely mythologized as a monster.

We are ending the year with a wacky 4-person Kentucky Fried Chicken Coop! An amazing assortment of weirdo artists, Kris, Christina and Todd, join to completely subvert the traditional podcasting approach towards the Kelly-Hopkinsville goblin incident.

Rock Hard Horseshit - with Scatgirl Kat

December 28, 2022 09:00 - 45 minutes - 56.4 MB

Kat returns to talk crappy mediums, fossilized turds and mutant dough!  Our original plan was to discuss Kat's experience being subjct to racist and sexist profiling by so-called mediums, but as we realized it was all a bunch of crap, we dedicated the episode to crap itself: Coprolites, shitty meteors, neanderthal turds, square poop of wombats and even poop-eating horses!  Then we get hungry and discuss the gross intricacies of bread-making, as Stanley the Living Leaven overflows his bucke...

Cole and I cringe trying to understand why Christians are obsessed with discovering living dinosaurs!  Mokele-mbembe, Burrunjor, Ropen, even Nessie: All favorites of the oblivious everyday cryptid fanboy, but what if we told you there is a seedy dark underbelly of cryptozoology infiltrated by Bible-thumping Christian fundamentalists!?  The pseudoscinetific world of cryptozoology has forever attracted the likes of Young Earth creationists, hellbent on disproving real science by locating bio...

Queer Eye for that Gray Guy - with Fred Andersson

December 19, 2022 09:00 - 45 minutes - 56.8 MB

Swedish paranormal TV producer Fred provides us a queer eye to the writings of Gray Barker!

One which at the time he could only express via a creative outlet: UFO poetry.  Fred and I, through the example of Barker's book "They Knew Too Much About Flying Saucers", discuss UFO literature a...

December 16, 2022 09:00 - 52 minutes - 68.3 MB

Hobbyist rambler Aaron joins to provide an outsider's perspective on the nonsensical world of the paraweird!  Our little community has a certain gatekeeping problem: We isolate ourselves in safe space bubbles and refuse to talk with strangers, out of a fear that they may challenge our kooky beliefs.  So in an attempt to be more inclusive, I decided to invite a guy who professionally complains about mundane annoyances and ask him what he thinks about these weird interests of ours.  Unexpec...

A Flaggerdoot of Jackalope - with Jordan Heath and Todd Purse

November 25, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 89.5 MB

Jordan and Todd join my first roundtable to discuss our favorite horny bunny: The Jackalope!  This chimeric critter sewn together from animal carcasses has been a staple of American folklore for ages!... or at least since the 1930s, as the Jackalope is a relatively modern folkloric invention concocted for the sole purpose of profit. Good ol' American capitalism!  But apart from selling useless shit for a quick buck, this murdered bunny conveys Americana in so many different ways, expressin...

Reflective Introspective - with Kris Galeano

November 21, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 104 MB

Ecology of Ego Death

October 28, 2022 08:37 - 22 minutes - 32.3 MB

Is the purpose behind paranormal phenomena to shatter our sense of self? Gradually chipping away at our manufactured identity until we are left exposed to the collective consciousness surrounding us?  And is there an invisible ecology of consciousness we are able to tap into once our individual barriers are demolished? I sure as hell don't know, but my ignorance and blindness never stopped me from rambling in a quasi-intellectual manner!  Today I express my personal thoughts on individuali...

Gorgonized at Birth - with Erin from Myth Monsters

October 22, 2022 07:05 - 1 hour - 89 MB

Erin from Myth Monsters helps subvert the role of female monsters in Classic Greek mythology!  Medusa, Harpies, even the The Chimera for centuries have been used as slaying fodder of manly heroes hellbent on displaying their masculinity, to the detriment of the much subtler feminine natural forces. Just look at the story of Hades and Persephone (also discussed).  Are the feminine monsters of myth a cultural reflection of an overarching social issue we still face nowadays, and how do we rec...

The A-Word: Mirrored Marionettes

October 03, 2022 08:00 - 17 minutes - 25.6 MB

Intending to shatter your illusion of "Alien", I address humanity's perpetual tendency to hop onto the extraterrestrial explanation for a plethora of phenomena which may have a more Earthly, or even human, origin!  Why do we assume crop circles are made by aliens, when they appear on freakin crops...on the ground!? Why do we look up to the stars to show us illusions of our future potential? And why do we tend to seek higher intelligence out there, when it is already here with us?  For anot...

Egregoric Humbuggery - with Jordan Heath from Campfire Tales

September 17, 2022 08:30 - 1 hour - 95 MB

Jordan joins my attempt to piss off the cryptid community by endorsing them darn hoaxers!  We blatantly declare the Patterson-Gimlin footage a hoax, using its mangled remains alongside other fraudulent cryptid shenanigans to demonstrate how Bigfoot actually IS real, but not the way you want it to be!  Can hoaxes actually spark genuine phenomena? Can they manifest monsters in the form of egregores or tulpas? Or are these monstrous manifestations rather our instinctual projections which insp...
