This week at Creep Cottage, the skies are lighting up with more red flags than a Mormon singles ward. We’re talking UFOs, missing memories, and cosmic confusion.

A security guard in Italy gets abducted by lizard men and lives to tell the tale—multiple times.

A U.S. Army soldier blacks out in the desert and wakes up with zero answers and a whole lot of questions.

A tiny Polish village becomes the site of the weirdest intergalactic drop-off since E.T. phoned home.

And in Michigan, hundreds of people—including police officers—watch a dazzling light show in the sky… and no, it wasn’t a laser tag party gone wrong.

We’re diving headfirst into the weirdest alien encounters you’ve probably never heard of. Are these real? Are we high? Is this a psyop? Who knows! But we brought receipts.

Buckle up, abductees—this one’s gonna probe deep.

Subject #1137 has entered the maze… and there’s no going back. In this twisted obstacle course of flashing lights and existential dread, they’re forced to compete for the ultimate prize: listening to this week’s episode of Creep Cottage in peace.

But they’re not alone in the Sanctum tonight. That’s right—fan-favorite cryptid enthusiast and alleged bathwater sommelier Dick Tiddle (Roman Chicas) returns to the show, and he’s bringing chaos with him. Together, we spiral into four of the most disturbing and debated alien encounters of all time:

The Rendlesham Forest Incident – Did the UK military stumble upon a UFO in 1980, or just forget what a lighthouse is?

Betty and Barney Hill – America’s first televised nightmare couple goes toe-to-toe with cosmic freaks on a late-night drive.

The Westall UFO Sighting – Over 200 Australian schoolkids and teachers see a flying saucer land in 1966. But sure, let’s gaslight the children.

Travis Walton – The lumberjack that got yoinked into space in broad daylight, only to return with stories… and maybe a new skincare routine?

As always, you’ll laugh, you’ll question reality, and you’ll wonder how much weed we didn’t smoke before pressing record. So grab your flashlight, kiss your cat goodbye, and enter the maze… but don’t get too comfy. Dick Tiddle is lurking in the hedges.

Subject #1137 escaped… briefly. But before they could find the exit, they got tangled in a children’s field trip through the galaxy’s most ethically questionable attraction: The Human Zoo. Lucky them—today’s enrichment activity? A live recording of Creep Cottage. (Sorry, no refunds.)

This week, Oliver and Camilla serve up some of the freakiest alien cases to date—starting with the elusive Calvine UFO photo, dubbed “the best evidence ever caught on film” (and promptly buried for 30 years). Then we’re heading to 1951 North Korea, where soldiers claimed to see a flying saucer just before falling sick—real mass encounter or Cold War chaos? And finally, we dive into the Winston Churchill cover-up, where even Winston’s own grandson believes we might not have been told the whole truth.

Plus: rapid-fire listener tales including a glowing orb that defied physics, a high-speed alien flyby, and a sibling dream so vivid it broke reality. Also, we ask the hard questions—like why the hell does an alien zoo even need a gift shop?

Just don’t stick your antennae in the enclosure...

Back in the Cage of Doom, we have a hilarious size difference! Fish versus canine! A whale-sized slothful merman slips into the ring against our show's infamous ancient cryptid serial killer: The Beast!

WHO WILL WIN IN A PHYSICAL FIGHT???

Vote below! Share with your friends! Let the blood bath flood your thoughts and social media! THIS is "Battle of the Beasts"!

Reports of glowing aircraft hovering above major cities. Fighter jets scrambled—then left in the dust. An airport shut down by something that doesn’t exist. And two brothers who went camping, but came back changed.

In this abduction-level installment of Creep Cottage, your favorite cozy cryptid hosts dig into five of the wildest alien stories on record:

– First, we dive headfirst into the 006 sighting at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport, when a UFO hovered above Gate C-17 and punched a hole in the clouds.

– Then we jet over to Brazil’s most classified nightmare: the story of two aliens allegedly killed and covered up by the Brazilian government—a case so strange, it makes Roswell look like a weather balloon convention.– We ground ourselves with the unnerving Phoenix Lights of 1997, where thousands watched something unexplainable crawl silently across the Arizona sky—and were then told it was “just flares.”

– But the skies aren’t the only threat. We also cover the Weiner brothers, who just wanted to camp but instead got abducted, examined, and possibly cloned.

– Finally, we tackle Belgium’s UFO wave of 1989–1990, when even the military was like, “Uh… this triangle is faster than our jets.”

So grab your tinfoil, tuck in your third eye, and for the love of the moon, don’t go camping after this episode.

In today’s bonus episode, we’re diving headfirst into the CIA’s weirdest PowerPoint: The Gateway Process. What started as a military side quest into binaural beats and out-of-body vibes somehow became a full-blown government-funded spiritual science experiment, featuring altered states of consciousness, time travel, and maybe (just maybe) interdimensional gate-hopping.

Oliver and Camilla break down the history, the science (or pseudoscience), and the most brain-melting revelations hidden in the Gateway documents. Did the Pentagon really think we could meditate hard enough to leave space-time? Are we all just fractals inside a cosmic egg? Is that why our tax dollars keep disappearing?

Join us as we put on our tinfoil tiaras and dig through the audio frequencies, astral projection attempts, and suspiciously redacted files that definitely weren’t written by a guy high on military-grade mushrooms.

In this interstellar fever dream of an episode, we dig our alien talons into some of the most ancient and unsettling mysteries on (and above) Earth. First, we ask the impossible: Did aliens build Stonehenge, or were Neolithic Brits just jacked as hell and bored? Then, we raise the stakes with the Great Pyramids—were they divine tombs, alien landing pads, or just a flex so big it transcended history?

But it wouldn’t be Phase 5 without a cryptid! We zip to 1952 and summon the Flatwoods Monster, West Virginia’s own tall, metallic owl-lady in a dress (and possibly a mech suit?). Finally, we beam ourselves into one of the most chilling alien abduction cases in U.S. history—the Pascagoula Encounter, where two men were paralyzed, probed, and (allegedly) gently yeeted back onto a fishing dock.

Full of smoky theories, unnecessary ancient math, and the kind of alien speculation that would get us disinvited from most museums, this episode is Creep Cottage chaos at its finest.

This episode is a full-course alien buffet—served with extra brain sizzle and a suspicious side of government denial. We kick things off in the sun-blasted California desert with George Adamski’s platonic date with a Venusian in a crushed velvet jumpsuit (allegedly). Then, it’s on to a remote mountaintop in Papua New Guinea, where a Catholic priest and 38 schoolchildren casually wave at a glowing spacecraft like it’s the goddamn ice cream truck.

You want trauma? Try Terry Lovelace’s peaceful camping trip that somehow ended in missing time, mysterious implants, and possibly the creepiest telepathic handshake of all time. We also stop by Falcon Lake, where a man literally got grilled by a UFO and left with a bingo-card pattern of burns. Oh, and of course—we HAD to throw in the Kentucky Hopkinsville goblin siege, where a family fought off glowing little gremlins like it was a redneck Siege of Helm’s Deep.

Aliens. Fireballs. Space pancakes. And the kind of cosmic drama only Creep Cottage can bring you.

You’re gonna want to keep your tinfoil hat strapped on tight for this one.
