Firelover16 · Apple Podcasts · Sep 2024It started with his own encounter
Brandon Wright, host of Tinfoil Tales. Brandon grew up in Miami County, Indiana, a huge Godzilla fan and monster kid raised on the great paranormal television of the 90s: Unsolved Mysteries, Sightings, and The X-Files. He was skeptical by nature, right up until February 2007, when he and a coworker came upon a bipedal canid creature in the road just north of Peru, something neither of them could explain. It is hard to write off the unbelievable when you have seen it with your own eyes, and he has been asking questions ever since.
More than 300 interviews later, the show has become one of the most trusted front doors in the field: real people, telling what happened to them, taken seriously. Eyewitnesses sit alongside researchers, investigators, and authors, and every story gets heard out.
Have you had a paranormal encounter, seen a cryptid or a UFO, or experienced something you cannot explain? Brandon wants to hear your story.
