À propos de ce contenu audio

Welcome to The Verbal Echo. Join host Monica Martin and Co-host Sara Rowe as we recount experiences through the voices of those who've lived to tell their stories. We seek to understand the human story, with all its unexpected and often weird twists and turns.

You will hear first-hand stories of the unexplained—from mysterious cryptids and alien encounters to paranormal experiences that defy explanation through the lens of the human experience. We will talk with authors, researchers, other podcasters, experts, and everyday people who need a sounding board to share everything they know.

Each episode features human stories that challenge what we think we know, revealing details that often fly under the radar. We don't want mainstream conversations on this podcast. We look at the fringe, the edges, and the intersections of thought-provoking topics and coax them out of the shadows.

If you’re drawn to the strange and hidden, join us on The Verbal Echo and discover how every story can change what you believe is possible.

No guardrails.

  • Ape Canyon, Icepacolypse 2026, and Haunted Kansas Legends
    Feb 25 2026

    Icy roads, chaotic grocery runs, and somehow we still end up deep in cryptid country.

    In this episode of Echoes After Dark, Monica and Sara recap their week navigating slick highways and storm-fueled errands before the conversation shifts into stranger territory. Sara dives into Yeti lore and the broader fascination with mountain mysteries, then pivots to the lesser-known, unsettling history of Wichita, Kansas—unpacking the darker stories that give certain cities a lingering edge.

    Monica presents a detailed look at the historic Ape Canyon incident, drawing on the research of Marc Myrsell and placing the case firmly in its historical context. Together, they explore why the event continues to spark debate and how geography, witness testimony, and folklore intersect in ways that keep the story alive.

  • Echoes in the Dark: Where History Lingers: Castles, Mountains, and Ghost Towns
    Feb 18 2026

    Castles in ruins, abandoned towns, slow-smoked barbecue, and one of history’s most debated mountain tragedies—this week’s conversation travels far and wide.

    On this episode of Echoes After Dark, we explore the haunting remains of Bannerman Castle on the Hudson River before sharing our latest barbecue experiments and observations on regional trends. From there, we head to the Ural Mountains of Russia to revisit the Dyatlov Pass incident—looking at the leading avalanche theory alongside other possibilities that have fueled decades of speculation, including crime, environmental factors, and even cryptid lore.

    We also spend time in Colorado’s high country, reflecting on ghost towns like Gilman, where the silence feels heavy with history. As always, the discussion blends curiosity, research, and personal perspective—examining how place, story, and mystery intersect in ways that keep us coming back.

    Thoughtful, conversational, and open-minded, this episode invites listeners to explore the line between documented history and the stories that continue to surround it.

  • Kevin Killen - Ghosts and Me - Thirty Years of Living with the Unexplained
    Feb 11 2026

    What if the paranormal didn’t start with curiosity—but with a childhood ghost you couldn’t explain away?

    Monica sits down with Kevin Killen, author of Ghosts and Me, to unpack more than thirty years of firsthand paranormal experiences—starting at age five and continuing through haunted homes, schools, workplaces, and battlefields across multiple states. From early experiments with electronic voice phenomena to shadow figures, shared hauntings with coworkers, and encounters that left him questioning his own sanity, Kevin’s story is less about belief and more about persistence.

    They talk openly about doubt, why people second-guess what they see, and how working environments—especially those shaped by stress and addiction—may intensify paranormal activity. Kevin also shares deeply personal moments involving protection from unseen threats, witnessed not just by him, but by the animals around him.

    This conversation isn’t about proving ghosts exist. It’s about what happens when unexplained experiences follow you through your life—and why people shouldn’t be afraid to talk about them, even when the world tells them not to.

    Honest, unsettling, and deeply human, this episode sits at the intersection of memory, skepticism, and whatever still refuses to be explained.
