Summary: During the <a href="http://kevinrandle.blogspot.com/2017/06/john-ventre-mufon-and-racism.html">upset in the ranks of MUFON</a> a couple of weeks ago, I noticed that researcher <a href="http://www.phantomsandmonsters.com/">Lon Strickler</a> had taken the lead in exposing the strange and vicious racist comments of one of the organization’s inner circle. We started the show with a discussion of the issues surrounding this defining period.<br> Strickler is better known as an investigator and chronicler of all manner of strange crypto and paranormal phenomena though, and we launched into a discussion of the recent spate of “mothman”-like encounters in the Chicago area as Lon listed the particulars of many sightings. I didn’t know that there was a history of interest by the Federal authorities in Bigfoot sightings, but my guest recalled his <a href="http://www.phantomsandmonsters.com/p/the-sykesville-encounter.html">own experience in 1981</a> when he saw the legendary “Sykesville Monster” and described an apparent rapid response team that took over the site after telling him to leave.<br> I also asked Lon about his interest in the <a href="http://www.esoteric.msu.edu/VolumeIV/Powwow.htm">Pennsylvania Powwow</a>, which is a folk healing tradition that traces its origins to colonial America. We moved on to the bizarre 2002 disappearance of Todd Sees in rural Pennsylvania and Strickler’s theory that it is a UFO abduction which ended in death, and which may have been covered up by the local authorities.<br> We ended with an account of a ghost sighting in which Strickler was left with a cloying and persistent odor of honeysuckle on his body after a close encounter with an apparent spirit entity. The smell stayed with him for a week and drove his wife and co-workers away.<br> <a href="http://radiomisterioso.com/audio/Lon_Strickler_6_11_17.mp3">DIRECT LINK</a><br>
