Welcome to our twelfth show!
First Half: Joining Michael Paul and Mr. Curbs, Sheri shares one of the strangest encounters imaginable, a chilling experience from the 1980s involving what she describes as a half-man, half-lion creature now known as The Lion Man. While walking her dog late at night, Sheri noticed movement inside a nearby office building and was shocked to see a towering figure with the head of a lion and the body of a man, dressed in a business suit, calmly filing papers inside office cabinets as if it were a completely normal night. Frozen in disbelief, she watched the bizarre creature continue its strange office work in silence, unable to process what she was seeing. Michael Paul and Mr. Curbs dive into Sheri’s unforgettable encounter, exploring what this mysterious being could have been and how something so impossible could appear so ordinary.
Second Half: Sheri goes deeper into the emotional impact the encounter had on her, explaining how the image of The Lion Man has stayed burned into her memory for decades. She describes the eerie atmosphere surrounding the office building, the silence of the street that night, and the overwhelming feeling that what she witnessed was completely real despite how absurd it sounds. Michael Paul and Mr. Curbs discuss possible explanations behind the encounter, from paranormal entities and cryptids to theories that something unknown may exist hidden within everyday life unnoticed by most people. The conversation becomes increasingly unsettling as they explore how bizarre and unexplainable encounters like this continue to surface, making this one of the weirdest and most unforgettable episodes yet.
