Why do stories about Bigfoot, Mothman and other strange creatures refuse to disappear and what do those stories reveal about the people who tell them?

Author, illustrator and Cryptid Empire creator David J. Hardie joins Zero Signal to explore cryptids from a different angle. David describes himself as a cryptomythologist: rather than only asking whether a creature is biologically real, he studies the folklore, culture and human beliefs that grow around it.

We get into the original Mothman reports and how the image of Mothman changed over time; Indrid Cold and the bizarre high-strangeness surrounding Point Pleasant; the continuing debate over Bigfoot; why UFOs and Sasquatch so often appear in the same stories; and why cultures across the world developed legends of dragons and wild men.

David brings his Christian background into the discussion as we explore the supernatural, demons, alleged non-human entities, UFOs/UAPs and whether all unexplained phenomena should really be placed into the same category. He explains why he believes the biblical supernatural world may be larger and stranger than many people assume, while warning against forcing the unexplained into a predetermined interpretation.

Katie Paige grew up around a Colorado ranch where witnesses reported UFOs, cattle mutilations, black helicopters, strange entities—and an unexplained electronic-sounding voice that seemed to warn people to stay silent.

Years later, Katie discovered that UFO researchers had already been documenting unusual activity at the property, historically known as Clearview Ranch and now associated with Rocky Mountain Ranch Research.

In this episode of Zero Signal, Katie joins Jay to explore the strange history of the ranch, her own childhood experiences, unexplained voices, UFO activity, animal mutilations, possible government involvement, hitchhiker effects, consciousness, and the question of whether all of these phenomena could somehow be connected.

We also get into the bigger question: Are we really dealing with extraterrestrial visitors—or is the UFO phenomenon something far stranger?

In this episode of Zero Signal, Jay sits down with biblical scholar Dr. Ronn Johnson for a deep dive into the Divine Council worldview and the supernatural framework behind Scripture.

Dr. Johnson’s research explores the connection between the gods of the Old Testament and what Paul later calls rulers, authorities, principalities and powers. A longtime friend and colleague of the late Dr. Michael S. Heiser, Ronn now co-hosts The Divine Council Worldview Podcast and serves on the board of the Michael S. Heiser Foundation.

We get into:

• Genesis 6 and the Nephilim • The identity of the “sons of God” • What really happened at the Tower of Babel • Deuteronomy 32 and the gods assigned to the nations • Psalm 82 and the Divine Council • Paul’s principalities and powers • Demons, fallen spiritual beings and supernatural rebellion • Whether certain locations can function as sacred or supernatural geography • How Jesus begins reclaiming the nations from hostile powers • What the cross actually accomplished • Salvation, faith and allegiance • And the difficult question: How should Christians understand the relationship between Jesus and Yahweh?
