Summary

Nicholas Daigle joins the show to talk about his book Genesis 6 and the Ozarks and the giant rabbit hole he fell into right in his own backyard. What started as a deep read through Genesis turned into a full-blown investigation into old newspaper accounts of seven-foot skeletons, spoke-wheel burials, and out-of-place Aztec pottery found in Ozark caves, all within 30 miles of his front door. Nick walks us through the finds of Sterling Newberry, a missionary Baptist pastor and amateur archaeologist who uncovered some seriously strange artifacts in the Springfield area in the 1930s, including burial mounds with sacrificial bowls, caves with signs of cannibalism, and a solstice alignment connecting a cave and a burial site. Then there's the story of Harry Starlight, an Osage chief who showed up at Newberry's door wanting a bear idol and offering to introduce him to the little people through a fire ritual. Newberry shut it down. The bones? Sent to the Smithsonian. The pottery? Gone. The mounds? Kids are jumping bikes off them. Welcome to the Ozarks and the hidden history of giants in the land.

0:00.0	Welcome back to Bloor your creatures. We're excited day. We have Nicholas Dagle on. And the Ozarks, you know, they're thick with strange stories, mystery hills, old haulers. They say the Ozark Howler lives down there. Deepwoods, kind of place where legends are born and they stick around for a long time in the Ozarks.
0:39.1	But Nephilim, are they down there as well? What's the history down there?
0:43.4	You wrote a book called Nephlem and the Ozarks, but what are your thoughts on Bigfoot,
0:48.0	first and foremost, and then we'll get into it?
0:50.2	So, Bigfoot, I think I kind of ascribed to an L.A. Marzoli definition where they're a modern-day
0:57.3	nephalum, interdimensional creatures. Truthfully, I really don't know. I just, I know that there's
1:04.4	something that I probably would never want to come in contact with. Unless he's a helpful, Bigfoot, Nick, then maybe, you know, maybe he saves you
1:13.4	from a pond or something crazy out there.
1:17.1	Well, if that's the case, then yeah, probably.
1:19.9	Happily, right?
1:21.5	No, this is, but this is fun because this kind of goes back to like the early, early days.
1:25.3	It's one of the topics and threads we love to pull on blurry creatures is talking about
1:28.7	giants.
1:49.3	And you've got a book out Genesis 6 and the Ozarks, the compilation book on a Christian's perspective proof, biblical giants are right in our backyards. And the Ozarks are blurry. As Nate said, there's a lot of stuff going down in there. There's actually, there's mounds, Nate, the mound builders built things in and through those areas as well. Um, you talk about why he wanted to write a book about this. So that I know that one of the things that we've done a number of times in the show,
1:53.4	Nick, is that talk to someone like Travis Roy. Okay. There's got who is like Giants of
1:58.4	ancient America. And what he does is he just compiles all of these old newspaper articles, clippings,
2:03.9	et cetera, of giants being found.
2:07.1	It really seems to happen up until about 1930 or so in that range and then it disappears.
2:12.2	But, you know, what drew you to look into Giants in the Ozarks specifically?
2:18.8	So you mind if I like, I started the beginning two years ago?
2:22.5	Yeah, absolutely.
2:23.2	Okay.
