    S06E06 🐈‍⬛Evil Cats and Revelatory Revenants👻
    Nov 9 2026
    Blake and Karen welcome back historian Dr. Joseph Gagné, a specialist in New France who teaches the colony's history at Université Laval, for a seasonal visit to the winter of 1704. That year, a French and allied Indigenous raiding party fell on the frontier village of Deerfield, Massachusetts, and marched more than a hundred captives north to Canada. Among them was the town's Puritan minister, the Reverend John Williams, whose memoir of captivity in Catholic Quebec was written as theological propaganda. But tucked between the sermons are three strange stories that caught Joseph's eye: a gray cat that crashed a dawn mass, a soldier's dream from purgatory, and a dead man with news from hell.

    Joseph explains how a historian handles a tale with one teller and no corroboration, and why the most useful clue in a ghost story is often the dull detail nobody meant to include. It's an exemplary excursion into Holistic Monster Studies.

    S06E05🎃 Live 2026 Halloween Show
    Nov 2 2026
    Blake, Karen, and paranormal investigator Matt Baxter gather on Halloween eve for MonsterTalk's annual live show. The agenda: micro-horror, meaningful coincidences, a stranger who would not stop calling, and the most convincing ghost video on the internet.

    When a woman in Queensland reaches out to Karen through eight different channels at once, the urgency turns out to have nothing to do with family business and everything to do with a house in Del Rio, Texas. Voices that learn your name. A photograph that appears from nowhere and disappears again. And a thread that runs straight back to the birth of rock and roll. Meanwhile, Blake confesses to a lifelong habit of collecting coincidences, and Matt opens the pantry door.

    S06E04 🍿Capturing Bigfoot Reaction 🫈
    Oct 26 2026
    🍿 S06E04 - Capturing Bigfoot Reaction 🫈Last week Blake and Karen spoke with director Marq Evans before any of them had seen his film. Now they have. Karen Stollznow and paranormal investigator Matt Baxter join Blake to react to Capturing Bigfoot, the new documentary built around a reel of 16mm film that sat in a family safe for more than half a century, and the Patterson family story that turns out to be even bigger than the footage. The film arrived on Prime Video on October 20, 2026, and the Bigfoot world has not been quiet since.The side-by-side stills circulating online are only a sliver of the story. The panel digs into the confessions, the money, the broken families, and the people who were there, then turns to the question every skeptic has been asking this week: if the most famous piece of Bigfoot evidence ever filmed folds, does anything actually change? Plus a horse turns out to be carrying a very strange coincidence.🔗 Links and ReferencesCapturing Bigfoot - Prime Video 💵Capturing Bigfoot - Official siteCapturing Bigfoot - WikipediaThe Patterson-Gimlin film - WikipediaRené Dahinden - WikipediaJeffrey Meldrum - WikipediaA Guide to Identifying Year of Manufacture for KODAK Motion Picture Films - Kodak (PDF)Freeze brand - WikipediaFreeze Branding Cattle - Oklahoma State University ExtensionLivestock branding - Wikipedia"Eastman Kodak" - James Layton, from Physical Characteristics of Early Films as Aids to Identification (FIAF, 2020)Four walling - WikipediaPious fraud - WikipediaCognitive dissonance - WikipediaSunk cost - WikipediaList of cognitive biases - WikipediaList of fallacies - WikipediaThe five stages of grief - WikipediaThe Fox sisters - WikipediaMarjoe Gortner - WikipediaThe Kenneth Arnold UFO sighting - WikipediaThe Loch Ness Monster and the "Surgeon's Photograph" - WikipediaWhen Prophecy Fails - Wikipedia"Debunking 'When Prophecy Fails'" - Thomas Kelly, Journal of the History of the Behavioral ScieBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/monstertalk--6267523/support.Some product links may be affiliated with Amazon revenue sharing.
