Technically Bear Butte is not a butte or a butt, it is rather a small mountain that stands just east of the Black Hills. It’s both a state park and a holy site for many Plains Indian tribes, including the Lakota and the Cheyenne. Brett and Harley go in search of visions on this mystical episode. Tonight, we discuss the religious and spiritual aspects of Bear Butte just outside of Sturgis SD. What do you need to go on a vision quest? Are sweat lodges just for large men in bath houses? What offerings should you bring on your pilgrimage? Who is Brett’s Peyote dealer? We will attempt to answer all of these questions. In the news, we cover the Men in Black….not the Will Smith version and not the other ones. We answer the question that is on everyone’s mind….Where is Eric? We announce our new segment!

Put on your hard hat and strap on your work boots as Brett, Harley and Eric discuss the haunted Sloss Furnaces in Birmingham, Alabama. The furnaces have been a ghost hotbed in the area, with residents believing that the tortured spirits of factory workers that lost their lives while working there still roam the halls. The furnace opened in 1882 and reports of apparitions started as soon as 1887. Now, the furnaces are a national landmark, museum and concert venue, and paranormal activity from the site are still being reported today. It’s getting hot in this haunted factory.

Take a walk down a dark country road with Harley and Brett as they investigate the legend of the Melon Heads of Saugatuck MI. This cryptid is so grotesque that Eric literally got sick and had to go home. These creatures are said to be three to four feet tall cannibals that live in the forest in and around Saugatuck. Just imagine if an Oompa Loompa and the Toxic Avenger had a baby, and that baby had a baby with those creepy “hills have eyes” people…..then you would end up with one of these freaks. Are these creatures the result of a mad scientist or are they mutants that didn’t get a scholarship into Professor Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters? Is Saugatuck where the Dover Demon retired with his wife and kids? Are these little ankle biters the product of local lore and legend or are they really terrorizing this small Michigan town?

Every town has their urban legend, but not every legend is straight from the gate’s of hell. The Grave of the Devil’s baby is one of the former. Join Brett and Harley as they dig up some truth of this legend. This grave site is located in Ravenswood West Virginia, and dates back to 1810. Nestled on the banks of the Ohio River, this sleepy hollow once belonged to George Washington himself. The legend dates back to 1917, when a young child, George Elwood Sharp, passed away and was buried in the local graveyard. Due to the tombstone fad at the time, the grave marker included a picture of George. Now, it is said that the picture glows in the dark and has fangs and horns.
