What is the intersection of monster lore and eyewitness testimony?
In this episode of Talking Strange, host Aaron Sagers talks with with paranormal investigator, author, and TV personality Richard Estep (Haunted Hospitals, Paranormal 911) to explore his new book, Monsters: Myths, Legends and Real Encounters.
From the depths of Loch Ness to the forests of North America, Estep breaks down the blurred line between myth, legend, and reported real encounters. We dig into some of the world’s most enduring creatures — including Mothman, Bigfoot, werewolves, vampires, and Nessie — and talk about when folklore becomes something more.
Estep, who has authored more than 30 books and brings a grounded perspective from his career as a paramedic and investigator, shares chilling cases, historical context, and the stories that continue to defy easy explanation.
What do you think? Are monsters myth, misunderstood animals, supernatural entities, or something genuinely unexplained?
