Monthly Spooky | USS Indianapolis, UFO Files & The Loveland Frogman
Published 2 weeks, 4 days ago
Description
Cryptid horror meets paranormal mysteries this May as Henrique and Michelle explore declassified UFO files, Ohio's infamous Loveland Frogman sightings, and the haunting legacy of the USS Indianapolis—where documented tragedy and unexplained phenomena blur the line between historical fact and supernatural folklore. A Memorial Day deep dive into weird experiences that changed everything.
It’s spooky news, horror culture, strange history, and late-night weirdness all rolled into one conversation — with detours through The Loveland Frogman, declassified government mysteries, haunted celebrities, a swimming coyote at Alcatraz, and the bittersweet end of an era for cult movie fans.
Inside this episode:
• USS Indianapolis and the real horror of war — A Memorial Day deep dive into the legendary World War II cruiser, its secret mission, the torpedo attack that sent hundreds of men into the ocean, the days of thirst, exposure, shark attacks, and the heartbreaking aftermath that followed.
• The Loveland Frogman returns — Ohio’s own cryptid gets another look as the episode digs into the weird, funny, and strangely persistent legend of the Loveland Frogman, one of the Buckeye State’s most beloved monster stories.
• Newly declassified UFO files — The hosts explore strange government UFO reports, Pentagon files, and the eternal question of whether the truth is out there… or buried under paperwork.
• A mysterious ancient burial jar discovery — A strange archaeological find brings a morbid dose of death, history, and mystery to the spooky news lineup.
• A coyote swims to Alcatraz — Nature gets weird as a coyote makes an unbelievable journey across the water to one of America’s most infamous prison islands.
• A celebrity poltergeist story — A bizarre haunting report leads into talk of ghosts, exorcisms, and the strange way paranormal stories still grab headlines.
• Cinema Wasteland, episode 400, and horror culture nostalgia — Henrique and Michelle reflect on a long-running cult movie convention coming to an end, the changing world of physical media and horror fandom, and what it felt like to create a major paranormal radio-style episode of Weekly Spooky.
New here? This episode stands alone — but it also captures everything Monthly Spooky does best: true horror history, cryptid legends, paranormal news, UFO weirdness, spooky conversation, and Halloween energy all year long.
What’s scarier: a monster in the woods, a ghost in the house, or the open ocean at night?
