It Knew My Name

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off by talking about the incredible Texas comeback against Ohio State in college football before diving headfirst into another collection of bizarre and unsettling encounters.

First, a witness reports a disturbing encounter with a mysterious horse-headed humanoid. Then, a group of hikers camping inside what appears to be a fairy circle discovers that some of their expensive equipment has mysteriously vanished—and they begin to wonder if the Fae Folk might have had something to do with it. Near Johnson City, Tennessee, another witness comes face-to-face with a bizarre three-horned creature, while deep in the woods of Minnesota, someone experiences a terrifying encounter with what they believe may have been a Wendigo. Later, a logger camping in the Oregon wilderness spots something near camp that looks disturbingly like a Dogman.

Finally, we travel to the forests of northeastern Pennsylvania for an encounter that Evan has never been able to explain. At thirteen years old, he and three friends set out through the woods toward an abandoned quarry. Along the way, they discover a mutilated deer, a bloodstained piece of cloth, and an old rusty knife. Then Evan notices something watching them from behind a tree—a massive gray hand with long fingers and what appear to be claws.

Things only get worse when the boys hear a strange, mechanical voice coming from the woods. Moments later, they see the creature itself: an enormous humanoid figure with impossibly long arms, huge claws, red eyes, canine-like teeth, and a horrifying metallic roar. The creature gives chase, pursuing the terrified boys through the forest until they finally reach the road.

But that's when the encounter takes its most disturbing turn. The creature stops at the edge of the woods, stares directly at Evan, opens its mouth, and speaks a single word in that strange metallic voice: “Evan.” Somehow, the thing knew his name. Horse-headed humanoids, mischievous Fae Folk, three-horned creatures, Wendigos, Dogmen, and something lurking in the Pennsylvania woods that may have known far more about four young boys than it should have.

All of this and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives!
