Before the human rays harnessed the power of fire, there was only darkness, an inky black foreboding abyss that concealed danger, mystery, and fear.

Into that darkness, brave men would not venture, for as the map says, here, there be monsters.

Nozzy. There's in.

There, never. The The Good evening and welcome to Here There Be Monsters podcast.

I am your captain, Derek Hayes.

Tonight, I'm once again going to order off the back of the menu.

That's right, another a la carte episode.

But before we place that order, a few announcements.

Are you interested in aliens, the Jersey Devil, Yeti, demons?

So am I.

And I'd love to talk about it, but I need your calls to do so.

If you've had a strange encounter, seen something unusual, or maybe witness the otherworldly,

please share your story.

Simply call the Hear There Be Monsters Hotline at 888-608 Night.

That's 888-608-6444. The way this works is simple. You call the number,

wait until the instructions are given, then tell your story just as you would at a campfire or at a bar.

Each call is limited to five minutes, so if you're cut off, simply call back and pick up right

where you left off. I'll take care of the rest.

Now, perhaps you don't have an encounter, but maybe you know someone who has.

So please convince that person to call in and tell us their tale.

Without your calls, there is no Here There Be Monsters podcast.

On a more serious note, I'd like to address a point that was raised in a review left on iTunes.
