  • S05E14 The Case of the Missing Thunderbird Photo
    Jan 12 2026
    Blake and Karen discuss the legendary photo said to capture 19th century cowboys or soldiers with a giant bird or pterosaur.

    SHOW NOTE LINKS:

    The original Tombstone Epitaph article about the winged creature

    Karl Shuker's blogged several times on the Thunderbird Photo and wrote a eulogy for Mark Chovinsky, author of a thorough Strange Magazine article about the Thunderbird photo.

    Ivan T. Sanderson figures into the story prominently. Kevin J. Guhl has written an extensive article about this.

    I think all the researchers - the serious researchers - are converging on the "False Memory" hypothesis to explain this story.

    However, debates about the photo continue.

    Some of the online photos were promotional photos for Freaky Links TV show.
