BWBS Ep:69 Don't Mess With The Monkey Man!

For centuries, people have whispered about creatures that lurk just beyond the edges of our understanding—beings that live in the shadows, in the forests, beneath the waves. Some dismiss them as folklore, others claim to have seen them with their own eyes. And then, there are those who say they’ve lived among them.Tonight, we explore three incredible stories—each more unbelievable than the last.First, we journey to Tennessee, where the Carter family claimed to have lived alongside a clan of Sasquatch for decades. At the heart of this astonishing story is Fox, a massive, intelligent male Bigfoot who supposedly learned to understand English and even spoke in broken phrases. Was this a case of true interspecies communication, or one of the most elaborate hoaxes in Bigfoot history?  

Then, we dive deep—literally—into the legend of mermaid-like fish people, humanoid creatures spotted in remote waters across the world. From ancient sailor accounts to modern-day reports, there have been eerie descriptions of beings that seem half human, half fish—but are they truly mermaids, or something far stranger? Some stories tell of intelligent water-dwelling entities who avoid human contact, while others suggest something more sinister lurking beneath the surface.And finally, we venture to the dense jungles of India, where generations have told of the Monkey Man—a creature said to be part human, part primate, seen leaping across rooftops and vanishing into the night. Some believe it’s an undiscovered species, while others insist it’s something supernatural, a being that exists in the space between reality and myth. But in 2001, panic swept through the city of Delhi when multiple reports surfaced of a terrifying humanoid figure attacking people in the dead of night.

Was this mass hysteria, or something much more real?This episode is a journey through the unbelievable, the unexplained, and the outright bizarre. From the deep forests of Tennessee to the waters where legends of mermaids refuse to die, to the mysterious figure haunting the streets of India—these are stories that defy explanation.So, what do you believe? Are these just myths, or is there something out there, hiding in the spaces we refuse to look?
