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?

In this episode of Zero Signal, Jay sits down with longtime Sasquatch researcher Todd Neiss, founder and president of the American Primate Conservancy, to discuss the encounter that changed the course of his life.

In 1993, while serving as a sergeant with the Army’s 1249th Combat Engineer Battalion during a high-explosives training exercise in Oregon’s Coast Range, Todd says he witnessed three large, upright, hair-covered figures across a ravine.

Todd has since participated in long-term investigations and expeditions across the Pacific Northwest and other parts of North America.

Dr. Leah Zitter was raised inside Neturei Karta, an extremely insular ultra-Orthodox Jewish community where, according to Leah, information, identity and contact with the outside world were tightly controlled.

In this episode of Zero Signal, Leah takes us inside that closed world and shares how childhood isolation, fear, obedience and restricted access to information shaped the way she understood reality. She discusses the experience of being confined in her grandmother’s attic, the questions that began forming as she watched the outside world through a window, and the difficult process of leaving the community and rebuilding her identity.

But escaping physically was only the beginning.

After leaving, Leah pursued an education in philosophy, psychology and behavioral neuroscience. Her research focused on people who separated from closed religious communities and the experiences that helped them challenge deeply embedded beliefs.

Leah’s journey raises an unsettling question: What happens when the psychological techniques once confined to closed groups are automated, personalized and directed at everyone?

What if some of the structures we call mountains, rock formations, and ancient ruins aren’t what conventional geology tells us they are?

In this episode of Zero Signal, Jay sits down with Brigitte Knapp of Torus Mundi, a researcher with a background in geology who now explores Meltology, alternative geology, ancient architecture, catastrophic events, and lost civilizations.

Brigitte explains what led her to begin questioning the conventional geological timeline and how that eventually brought her into the world of Meltology—a theory that looks at unusual geological formations and ancient structures through a radically different lens.

The conversation explores whether some enormous formations could be remnants of structures altered by extreme heat or catastrophic events, how ancient megalithic sites fit into the picture, and why similarities found in architecture across different parts of the world continue to fuel questions about civilizations that may have existed before our accepted historical timeline.

Jay and Brigitte also discuss the possibility of past civilization resets, ancient technology, catastrophic geological events, the enormous spans of time assigned to geological processes, and whether physical evidence sometimes tells a different story than the history we've inherited.

Whether you see Meltology as an overlooked piece of the past or a provocative alternative theory, this conversation raises a much bigger question!

Dr. Bob Thiel joins Jay on Zero Signal for a wide-ranging conversation about biblical prophecy, emerging technology, and the events he believes will shape the end times.

Dr. Thiel—an author, nutrition scientist, naturopathic health researcher, pastor of the Continuing Church of God, and host of Bible News Prophecy—begins with his early life, Catholic upbringing, and search for the beliefs of the original Christian church.

He then explains his interpretation of the Beast, the Antichrist, and the False Prophet; the sequence leading toward the Great Tribulation; and how artificial intelligence, digital identification, surveillance, and financial control could help enable the system described in Revelation 13.

The conversation also explores the coming great deception, lying signs and wonders, UFO and UAP phenomena, the Mark of the Beast, and how Christians can remain discerning without being consumed by fear.

What separates legitimate paranormal research from entertainment, exaggeration and outright fabrication?

Jay is joined by Jenn Stoller and Stephen Johnson of Longhorn Paranormal—an independent paranormal research and media organization known for its evidence-driven investigations of haunted locations and unexplained phenomena.

Jenn, a profoundly Deaf U.S. Army veteran, investigator and executive producer, shares the experiences that first drew her toward the paranormal. Stephen discusses his background in photography, media and field documentation, and how their different skills helped shape Longhorn Paranormal.

They explain why the team emphasizes measurable data, environmental readings and attempts to eliminate conventional explanations before labeling something paranormal. Jenn and Stephen also discuss the extensive screening process used for private cases, the importance of mental-health and safety considerations, and why Longhorn refuses to manufacture evidence for entertainment.

The conversation explores residual and intelligent hauntings, aggressive spiritual activity, claims of demonic influence, possession, unexplained energy and the possibility that certain locations may retain—or somehow replay—past events.

Later, the discussion turns toward Bradshaw Ranch, UAP activity and the larger question of whether ghosts, cryptids, UFOs and other unexplained phenomena could be different pieces of the same mystery.
