  • The Gloucester Sea Serpent: Sworn Witness Accounts from 1817 - Deceptive Reality Podcast S4E45
    6 Nov 2026
    In August 1817, Gloucester ship carpenter Matthew Gaffney swore that he fired at a strange marine animal. He said it turned toward his boat, sank directly beneath it, and surfaced about 100 yards away. Nick leads Bert through the Gloucester Sea Serpent accounts. They follow Amos Storys long watch from shore, Solomon Allens estimate of 80 to 90 feet, statements taken separately under oath, and Gloucester magistrate Lonson Nashs claim that he saw the animal too. Then a small, deformed snake found near Loblolly Cove complicates the story. Some people called it the harbor creatures offspring. The Smithsonian now catalogs the specimen as a North American racer, Coluber constrictor constrictor, and preserves Scoliophis atlanticus as its historical published name. What did the witnesses see: one unknown animal, familiar animals interpreted as one creature, or something else? Tell us what you think.

  • Wildwood: The Answering Knock We Didnt Hear - Deceptive Reality Podcast S4E44
    30 Oct 2026
    Bert and Nick asked for a response at Wildwood - and thought nothing answered. Reviewing the recordings, they describe finding an apparent answering knock in a different room. They revisit two nights of investigation, from unexpectedly drained batteries and a furniture-dragging-like sound to a doll they say they found blocking their exit. Night two brings their account of a basement manifestation and lightning-like streaks on camera footage. The dolls movement was not filmed, and the causes of the reported events remain unresolved.

  • The Rosenheim Poltergeist: Why Did Four Office Phones Ring at Once? - Deceptive Reality Podcast S4E43
    23 Oct 2026
    Four office phone extensions reportedly rang together. A fluorescent tube and later an ordinary bulb—reportedly fell and shattered. A chart-recording pen kept drawing erratic traces even when the setup was powered by a 1.5-volt battery. Bert and Nick follow the Rosenheim Poltergeist account from a Bavarian law office in 1967 through Hans Benders investigation and the reported end of the disturbances in 1968. Along the way: repeated calls to a speaking-clock service, conflicting instrument readings, swinging lights, and a pattern investigators associated with one 19-year-old employees presence. Later attempts reportedly failed to reproduce the phenomena. What happened inside that office—and which detail would have made you stop working and start watching the room? Paranormal storytelling and discussion for entertainment. The reported events and proposed explanations are not established findings. Respect privacy; do not contact or harass people connected with the case.
