Ep 303: Seth Breedlove – Small Town Monster

"I'm not interested in trying to prove to people that the Mothman exists or that Bigfoot exists. We're just interested in letting the witnesses tell their story and making things come across in a clear way."  -- Seth Breedlove, Astonishing Legends episode 116, "Small Town Monsters" August 2018

Description:

This week, we’re delving into the world of cryptids and unexplained phenomena again with Seth Breedlove, founder of Small Town Monsters. Celebrating 10 years of documenting America’s legends, 2025 promises to be their most ambitious year yet with four new projects.

As well as upcoming projects on the eerie Bennington Triangle and the harrowing Siege of Ape Canyon. Join us as we uncover the stories behind these fascinating legends and how Small Town Monsters continues to push the boundaries of cryptid filmmaking.

Cryptid of the Day: Kinderhook Blob

Description: In 1962, Bruce Hollenbeck was 10 years old, playing with his cousin in the woods behind his house, when they heard a high pitch whistle. That’s when they saw a white object peering at them from behind a pine tree. Two years later, two men walking in the woods saw a similar creature. The blob was last seen by two 14 year old boys while they were camping.

In 1962, Bruce Hallenbeck was 10 years old and loved to play in the woods of Kinderhook, New York. He and his cousin were playing behind Hallenbeck's house when a loud whistling sound pierced the air. The children stopped in their tracks, obviously confused by the noise. While looking for the source of the sound, the children saw a mysterious figure behind a tree. It was white object that was peeking around the tree at the two kids. Hallenbeck reported that the creature had no eyes despite the fact that he thought it was watching them. They quickly ran back to the house.

For two years, nothing else was seen. Until an anonymous witness claimed to see a floating white blob moving toward him while he was on a hike. He ran away in fear but returned to the scene with his friend, armed with a shovel and pitchfork. Upon seeing the creature again, the two men dropped their weapons and ran away.

Other sightings reportedly also took place in 1964. Some witnesses claimed to see the creature in 1978 where it was described as "bell shaped". There were even sightings of the Kinderhook Blob as recently as 2017. Witnesses Owen Farley and Anthony Malanowski described the creature as 7 feet tall. It floated toward them at a high speed and the two men ran away as fast as they were able.

Well, the name pretty much suits this creature.  It is found in the woods of Kinderhook, New York and it’s a blob.  It is white and floats through the…

Joseph Smith’s claims about the discovery of the gold plates and the translation of the Book of Mormon are at the core of the founding narrative of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. According to Smith, in 1827, he found (or was led by an angel to) gold plates buried near his home in upstate New York, which contained ancient writings in a language he referred to as “reformed…

CALLING LITERALLY EVERYONE ON EXMO TUMBLR

i have been outed as a PIMO by my parents after a fight about my tithing and now i'm standing here trying to defend my exmormon POV to my TBM parents

if anyone can give me 100% solid evidence i can use in a debate against them it would be absolutely lifesaving /gen

bonus points if you can find something that can combat the Gospel Topic Essays

I've tried;

the kinderhook plates (they said 'you just found some fabrication on the internet')

joseph's plural marriages to teenage girls ('that was normal in that day and age')

the city creek centre ('that's so members can have somewhere to shop in the last days so they can survive')

the fact that no one can find the original bible manuscript ('god just took it back to heaven')

they're fucking impossible so i need some help here i'm begging y'all

thanks in advance
