My mother in law passed away on December 22nd this year from Covid. She was gone in a matter of weeks. Our family is devastated. I’ve known this woman 30 years and I will miss her greatly. I’d like for everyone reading this to remember to wear a mask please. Covid is insidious.
Meet the newest member of my personal Astonishing family. A rescue named Phoenix. She was abandoned in a crate outside a burned down home for several weeks before being rescued by
@RuffLoveRescue
back in November. Now she’s got a forever home with us. Welcome “Nixie”!

Twitter purged a ton of fake accounts that bots created for companies that sell followers and a lot of folks lost a lot of people. We've never bought one follower! Huge thank you to all 7,768 of you awesome people for being legends and not myths.
My grandmother turned 90 today and she still beats me at Words With Friends. Born in 1927, the year of the first talkie. Wouldn’t be here without her so I say take a minute to be thankful for the family you descended from. Without them, no us.
Dyatlov Pass Update! We were among those who contributed to Keith McCloskey's efforts to make the recently successful re-opening of the investigation happen. Keith was our guest for the Flannan Isles eps we did. We will keep you posted as we are able. invenimus arcana.
Sometime in June of 2016, our editor Sarah Wendel came on board with us. After 3+ years, and 114 of our now 151 episodes, we decided to immortalize an expression she’s heard at least 500 times in probably over 400 hours of raw audio.
In 1587, around 120 people were left on the island of Roanoke to establish a colony in the name of England. Adverse circumstances kept their Governor from returning for 3 years. When he did, they had vanished, leaving only one cryptic clue behind.

A quick note to dreamers creative and otherwise. I was 45 when we started Astonishing Legends. If we shut down tomorrow I'd have no regrets. Follow your passions and you'll get where you want to go. Perseverance & humility are the most important part of the equation.

Spoke to my realtor few days ago, she asks about show; Told her about Sallie Series, she listens. Refuses to play EVP. Just now she gets a robocall with a spoofed caller ID based in, you guessed it, Atchison, KS. She's lived in LA her whole life. Prolly just a coincidence.
I would like to say how touched I am by the vigorous defense of our character by listeners in light of an accusatory tweet by someone who has apparently either blocked us or fled twitter since posting it. It has been truly heartwarming to know that you guys see us for who we are.
Shutting down Blanket Forteana for 2018. Last 3 shows roll out starting this weekend. Without you, no us. Thank you. *scrolls way down gif list for best one that no one has ever used*

We just wrapped recording on Part 3 out of 4 on The Sallie House. Part 3 is all about the EVP and analysis of it. We may have accidentally made another long show even though October has come and gone. But we think you will dig it.
Elizabeth Báthory has been called the most prolific female serial killer of all time. Some reports claim there were as many as 650 young female victims and that she routinely bathed in their blood. As with all legends, there's a lot more to this story.

I’m a car guy. So here’s a peek behind the curtain. This is my 1964 Austin-Healey Sprite Mk IV. My grandfather bought it brand new and sold it to my dad for $100. My dad gave it to me when I was 25. It has 89,834 miles on it.
Hey folks. Just a quick note to say these are stressful times but we are truly grateful for your listenership and even more than that your friendship and support that we see across various online platforms. We love what we do and we’re lucky you like to listen to it.
Long time friend of our show is asking for a little love tonight, if you have some to spare. Saying a prayer for your mom Omar. She looks like a strong woman.

SNL after-party yrs ago, Carl Weathers was sitting alone. I sat down for a minute and he was the kindest person. I'll never forget chatting with Apollo Creed/Dillon from Predator. Probably could've cared less about me, but he not only tolerated me, he was kind.

First thought is looks like fabric/costume. If you know when a train is coming there couldn’t be a better hoax. No threat of investigation because witnesses are stuck on train. No threat of being shot. Also train ride publicity. Yes, I have experience investigating this stuff.
Guess what’s on the agenda for tonight? Neither my son, nor my wife has seen John Carpenter’s ‘The Thing.’ I’m going to pop the popcorn and turn my chair so I can just watch them watching it for the first time.
A dear friend of mine in NYC recently contracted and survived Corona Virus. Tonight his story just posted as a commercial-free episode during a scheduled dark week. We'll see you April 12th with a new show.

So I'm not one to usually draw attention to my birthday, but yes it's today. And the only reason I'm sharing it here is that I absolutely love this card my dad and step-mom sent.
Hey folks! My wife and I don't usually cross the media streams, but she's got a new TV show premiering September 29th after the Simpsons, and I'm so proud of her. It's called 'Bless the Harts.' Watch it and if you like it, tell your friends.

In May of 2018 we had the one researcher in the history of the search for Amelia Earhart who has found a plane. Since then he's sent a team to dive on the wreckage he's found and now he's back with an update. A commercial free bonus episode of Astonishing Legends has just posted.

Not sure what I did to deserve this life, but grateful for my health, friends, family, business partners and everything else. Astonishing Legends is a dream come true, but a quick reminder for all those pursuing their dreams, I crashed and burned at least 30 times getting here.
Just finished recording P2 of D.B. Cooper. We had more info than we thought. That means there will be a commercial free P3 Bonus Show next week. Our 4th show in a row this month. Who knew there was so much to this story? I guess everyone but us. Must sleep!

Hey folks, a quick update about this weekend's show. Usually we try to post by Friday or Saturday but THIS week our editor, the lovely and talented Sarah is on vacation. That means I'm editing the show and we're a bit behind. Posting tomorrow by end of day. Thanks for patience!
Breaking my vacation Twitter fast to say how saddened we are by the passing of Chadwick Boseman. What a phenomenal talent. I honestly didn't believe it was real when I read it yesterday. Black Panther was absolutely amazing as was his portrayal of James Brown.
