Orbs, those floating balls of light, have flickered through time like elusive fireflies in the dark.

As far back as ancient folklore, they've been whispered about in Celtic myths from Ireland, where they were often seen as the playful manifestations of fairies—trickster spirits darting through misty glens and ancient stone circles.

Fast forward to the 19th century, and orbs began appearing in spiritualist séances, captured in early photographs as "spirit orbs"—believed to be the essences of departed loved ones hovering near the living.

The 20th century brought a cosmic twist: with the rise of UFO sightings post-World War II, orbs were reimagined as extraterrestrial probes, zipping across night skies in formations that defied earthly physics. From Roswell's deserts to rural English countryside, witnesses reported silent, pulsating lights that vanished in an instant.

Even today, in our digital age, trail cams and smartphone videos capture these anomalies, fueling debates among paranormal investigators, ufologists, and scientists.

Today’s episode is a listener special, drawn from three amazing emails that landed in our inbox.

Each one features a different kind of orb, united only by their spine-tingling mystery.

So join Gary & GoldieAnn as we settle Within the Mist to explore these tales of Listener Stories of mysterious orbs.

The summer of 1961 was heavy with heat and whispers of the strange. In the Basque Mountains, the small town of Zeanuri buzzed with rumors of flickering lights in the sky and livestock gone missing from remote farms.

Locals spoke in hushed tones of the Basajaun, the forest giant of Basque lore, stirring once more in the wilderness. But nothing could have prepared Arquimedes Sanchez and his young co-driver, Mateo Etxebarria, for what they would encounter on that fateful night of July 23.

Join Gary and GoldieAnn as they climb Within the Mist of Spain to challenge our understanding of the natural world and explore the thin veil between reality and the paranormal with the Octo-Squatch.

In the heart of London’s wealthy Mayfair district, where Georgian townhouses stand as testaments of history, one address casts a shadow darker than the rest: 50 Berkeley Square.

This unassuming four-story building, constructed in 1740 by architect William Kent, has earned a chilling reputation as one of the most haunted houses in Britain.

For nearly two centuries, tales of a malevolent, shapeless entity have gripped the imaginations of Londoners, blending folklore, tragedy, and inexplicable horror.

Drawing from documented accounts, newspaper clippings, and paranormal investigations, we delve Within the Mist of London and into the spine-chilling legend of the Nameless Thing of 50 Berkeley Square, a creature that defies reason and leaves a trail of madness and death in its wake.

In the records of maritime history, few mysteries endure like that of the ship found adrift in the Atlantic Ocean in 1872, her crew vanished without a trace.

The vessel, a 282-ton brigantine, was discovered on December 4, 1872, by the crew of another merchant ship, approximately 400 miles east of the Azores. The ghost ship was in seaworthy condition, her cargo of 1,701 barrels of industrial alcohol largely intact, yet her ten souls were gone, leaving behind a riddle that has baffled investigators, historians, and storytellers for over a century.

What caused ten people to simply vanish without a trace? Pirates? Mutiny? Sea Monsters? No theory successfully explains the mystery of this ghost ship.

Join Gary and GoldieAnn today as they sail Within the Mist of the Atlantic to discuss the Mary Celeste.

Traveling through the wilderness of Northern California’s Bluff Creek, two rugged rodeo men ventured into the unknown on October 20, 1967. Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin, armed with little more than a 16mm camera, stumbled upon a sight that would mystify the world for decades.

In just 59 seconds, their grainy footage captured a massive, hairy figure striding through the forest with a deliberate gait, her glance back at the camera a blend of contempt and mystery.

Was this the Sasquatch of Native American lore, a living relic from a forgotten age, or a clever hoax.

Join us today as we delve Within the Mists of California, we discover a spectral artifact that has ignited fierce debate, inspired countless expeditions, and left an indelible mark on the paranormal… the Patterson-Gimlin film
