PWR284: 30 Years Chasing the Unexplained w/ Chad Lewis

Chad Lewis has been down more rabbit holes than almost anyone alive. Nearly thirty years of fieldwork, over twenty-five books, and an unwavering commitment to saying "I don't know" without flinching. Tonight he takes us through what three decades of chasing the unexplained actually looks like from the inside.

It started in Elmwood, Wisconsin, with high school UFO sightings and a psychology professor at UW Stout who turned out to be the first researcher to interview George Wheeler. From there the rabbit hole only deepened. Chad talks about how his position on Bigfoot has shifted over thirty years toward something stranger than flesh and blood, the Native American buffer zones throughout the Midwest where paranormal activity clusters, the cosmic trickster theory, and fieldwork in Guatemala tracking the Tata Duende through villages where locals warned him away with complete seriousness.

Also covered: Lake Peppin's sea monster Peppy, the Van Meter Visitor, the Hodag, Wisconsin's paranormal landscape, and what thirty years of sitting with the unexplained does to your worldview.
