From dusty 19th-century newspaper clippings and mound-builder dig notes to strange museum whispers and global folklore, this episode follows the trail of “giant skeletons” said to have surfaced throughout history—and asks whether these tales point to the long shadow of the Nephilim. We sift reports of oversized femurs and megalithic burials, track the biblical threads (Anakim, Rephaim, Watchers), and separate mythmaking, mismeasurements, and hoaxes from the few cases that still refuse to die. Along the way, we map how empire, religion, and early archaeology shaped the legend—and why giants persist in our collective memory like footprints in wet stone.

The Black Monk of Pontefract | Ep 131
HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Welcome back to Cryptic Chronicles. Today, we’re traveling to an unassuming house in a quiet English town that’s been the site of one of the most terrifying and infamous poltergeist hauntings in history: the Black Monk of Pontefract. Known as one of the most violent hauntings ever recorded, this chilling tale unfolds in 30 East Drive, where a dark presence wreaked havoc on a family in the late 1960s. Objects were thrown, chilling shadows appeared, and a menacing figure—believed to be the spirit of a medieval monk—made itself disturbingly known. Was this a case of psychological disturbance, or a powerful and vengeful entity unwilling to let go of its domain? Tonight, we dive deep into the disturbing encounters, mysterious lore, and unanswered questions surrounding the Black Monk of Pontefract, a haunting that continues to haunt the imaginations of paranormal investigators worldwide.
