  • Nessie Cryptid History: The Truth Behind the Loch Ness Monster

    Nessie Cryptid History: The Truth Behind the Loch Ness Monster
    Feb 3 2026

    For centuries, something has haunted the dark waters of Loch Ness. Is the Loch Ness Monster a surviving prehistoric creature or something far stranger?

    In this episode of the Wondering Monsters Podcast, we explore the full Nessie cryptid history, tracing the legend of the Loch Ness Monster from ancient Scottish folklore and medieval encounters to modern sightings, scientific investigations, and occult theory.

    We examine early accounts involving St. Columba, the role of kelpies and water spirits in Scottish mythology, and how Victorian-era fascination with dinosaurs reshaped Nessie into the creature we recognize today. We also break down sonar scans, environmental DNA studies, and why science has struggled to fully explain what people continue to see in the loch.

    Beyond biology, this episode dives into darker territory exploring Boleskine House, Aleister Crowley, and the possibility that Nessie may be a thought-form sustained by belief itself. Loch Ness is more than a lake; it’s a liminal space where myth, history, and human perception collide.

    Whether Nessie is monster, myth, or manifestation, one thing is clear: the legend refuses to sink.

    Listen now and decide for yourself what’s really lurking beneath the surface of Loch Ness.

  • Ghost Ships Explained: The Mary Celeste, Flying Dutchman & Maritime Mysteries

    Ghost Ships Explained: The Mary Celeste, Flying Dutchman & Maritime Mysteries
    Jan 20 2026

    Ghost ships have haunted sailors for centuries, but what really happens when a ship is found drifting with no crew?

    In this episode of the Wondering Monsters Podcast, we dive into the chilling world of ghost ships, abandoned vessels, and cursed voyages. From legendary phantom ships like the Flying Dutchman to real-life maritime mysteries such as the Mary Celeste, we explore why the ocean has produced so many unsettling stories.

    We break down the two main types of ghost ships:

    • Legendary and haunted vessels doomed to sail forever
    • Real ships discovered intact but mysteriously empty

    Along the way, we examine famous cases including the Mary Celeste, the Flying Dutchman, the Carol A. Deering, the Octavius, and the Ourang Medan. Are these stories the result of supernatural forces, psychological breakdowns at sea, toxic cargo, or natural phenomena like strange lights and mirages?

    This episode also explores why the ocean itself is such a powerful source of fear ... a vast liminal space where isolation, uncertainty, and sudden disaster can turn reality into legend. Whether you believe ghost ships are paranormal, psychological, or something in between, these stories reveal just how thin the line can be between history and myth.

    If you’re fascinated by maritime mysteries, abandoned ships, haunted oceans, or unexplained phenomena, this episode is for you.
