On a chilly December day in 1900, a lighthouse on the Flannan Islands in Scotland was found deserted. The three keepers who’d been living there were gone, leaving no trace but an overturned chair and plates of uneaten food. Their bodies were never found. In the intervening century, the story of the missing keepers of the Flannan Island Lighthouse has become rife with speculation and mystery. What happened to these missing men? And what sinister or catastrophic events lead to one of the most fascinating disappearances in history?
The Flannan Isles history weaves through haunting folklore and nautical mythology. From ghost ships to water monsters, long-lost cults, and phantom mariners, this is a story of the awesome power of the sea, and our sometimes futile quest to control it.

Matt, Katie, and EJ conclude their investigation of the Allagash Abductions, the story of four campers encounter with beings from another world. MUFON investigator Raymond Fowler believes he's encountered a decades-long case of alien abduction. His research on the Allagash Four reveals, to him, injuries consistent with medical experimentation. But when one of the four makes a startling confession, it throws the entire case into question. Was there any truth to what happened in the Maine Wilderness? Or was it all an incredible feat of unconscious storytelling by a group desperate to believe in something out of this world?

Matt, Katie, and EJ continue their investigation of the Allagash Abductions, the alleged alien abduction of four campers in the Maine wilderness. Ufologist Raymond Fowler agrees to put abductee Jim Weiner under hypnosis after meeting him at a UFO symposium. At first, Jim doesn’t recall anything, but the more the MUFON hypnotists push, the more he remembers. Jim recounts the story of strange scientific experiments performed in a strange room by beings from another world. These creatures look like grey aliens, which convinces Fowler he’s on to something.
The hypnotic memory regression sessions continue, first with Jim’s brother Jack, and then friends Charlie Foltz and Chuck Rak also revealing similar details. Illustrations drawn by the abductees show remarkably similar aliens. But were the Allagash Four really the victims of alien abduction? Or is it all a memory implanted by Raymond Fowler, one by one, on the unsuspecting campers?

Matt, Katie, and EJ continue their investigation of the Allagash Abductions, the story of four campers' alleged encounter with extraterrestrials in the Maine wilderness. A decade after the event, abductee Jim Weiner begins experiencing strange sleep disturbances. Assuming these are repressed memories of his encounter, he dives headfirst into the world of UFOs and alien abductions. Jim's research uncovers the case of Betty and Barney Hill, a pair of alleged abductees from the 1960s, and Betty Andreasson, who claimed she was acting as missionary for aliens. Convinced that he's the victim of a similar encounter, Jim Weiner seeks out the investigator spearheading the Andreasson Affair: MUFON correspondent Raymond Fowler. Unbeknownst to Jim, Fowler's flawed methods implanted false memories in his subjects, building an entire cannon of alien abduction experiences that never happened. And now, the Allagash Four are about to become the subject of his next erroneous experiment.

Matt
he/him
I work in film and tv, both behind the camera and in the editing room. I’ve been a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians for over 20 years. Since childhood, I’ve been obsessed with cryptids, the paranormal and conspiracy theories. I believe that everything deserves to be explored, and nothing exists in a vacuum. Every belief we hold, every experience we have and every story we tell is influenced by our background, our situation and the world around us.
Favorite horror movies:
Hereditary, Burnt Offerings, His House, Creature from the Black Lagoon, anything Godzilla, The Ritual, Lake Mungo, Underwater, Amityville Horror (1979), Alien, Trollhunter
Favorite horror books/stories:
The Shining, Pickman’s Model, The Yellow Wallpaper, Was it a Dream?, A Headful of Ghosts, the Night Watch series, Crouch End, Something is Killing the Children
If I was a cryptid I’d be:
Either a cadborosaurus, so I’d be able to swim around the ocean, or Mokele-Mbembe because dinosaurs are awesome
Non-paranormal pursuits:
Woodworking, flyfishing, giving treats to cats
EJ
they/she
As an introvert that thrives on deep, meaningful conversation, I guess I’m a walking paradox. I grew up in a creaky old farmhouse in Upstate New York where I played with frogs and made all the adults call me Macgyver. When I was a kid, I saw something that looked like a sasquatch run through the swamp behind my house. I’m fascinated by what we think we see and what beliefs we hang on to, even as more information comes to us. Let’s get into it.
Their horror novel, ANA MUST DIE (AGAIN) is forthcoming from Evil Twin, spring 2027.
Favorite horror movies/TV shows:
Parasite, Paranormal Activity, One Cut of the Dead, Hush, Creep, Midnight Mass, Train to Busan, Nope, Midsommar
Favorite horror books/stories:
The Terror, House of Leaves
If I was a cryptid, I’d be:
Bigfoot because you’re always warm, you’re an apex predator, and you live alone in the woods away from people. What more could you ask for??
Non-paranormal pursuits:
Martial arts, knitting/crochet, exploring nature, writing
Katie
she/her
As a kid, I was terrified by the paranormal, but also fascinated with it. I read a book on poltergeists in elementary school and kept a keen watch on myself as an early tween, just in case it might happen to me. Ghosts aren’t real but I really hope one day I experience something I can’t explain. I’m always curious about what we think we understand, what we don’t, and what stories we tell ourselves about it all.
Favorite horror movies:
Lol no. I hate being scared and as a result, I have seen very few horror films and almost always refuse to watch them. Casper has a ghost in it, right? Just kidding. I do love The Shining - red rum!
Favorite horror books/stories:
Again, I have read very few. But the two I’ve read, remember, and loved are classics: The Tell Tale Heart and The Call of Cthulhu.
If I was a cryptid I’d be:
Probably a Yeti, because I love the snow.
Non-paranormal pursuits:
Reading non-fiction and hanging out with friends.
Quixote and Zuri

Favorite horror books/stories:
