Monsters. Cryptids. Hauntings. Demons. Historical Mysteries. Wild Talents...And much more.

There's simply not another podcast like it.

The Good, The Bad, and the Paranormal Rundown

The Good, The Bad, and the Paranormal Rundown

I screwed up. I used a section of a Pink Floyd song that I thought fell under the protection of fair use. Spotify disagreed, so I had to replace 22.7 seconds of "Keep Talking."So,I've fixed it with a cool little composition out of Smart Sound. What's the show about? Hey, it's a Rundown from the Gang of Nerds! It's about "dis, dat, and de uder thing!" How about giving it a go!Here's the original description:It's another fully accelerated, pedal to the metal PARANORMAL RUNDOWN, jointly produced by

We are made of Stories, But Our Quantum Tubule Memory is Imperfect

In Episode 135, Vic Hermanson disusses,along with Dave Griffith,the whole idea of "Lost Stories." Over the Years,there have been many stories he has read and loved, but then "lost" the title and the author's name. But the stories are still there in all their glory! Perhaps you can help him out, or add some "lost stories" of your own.

A Dying Man Speaks of Bataan

A Dying Man Speaks of Bataan

Trailer Trash Terrors returns with a story of one man's experience during the Death March of Bataan in 1942, told as well as Vic Hermanson can remember it. It's a story of true-terror, where the paranormal aspect of it was overshadowed by the terror that standard flesh and blood men could bring.Oh, and Boudreaux gets the title wrong. Hey, he's out of practive too!

(2) The podcast is part one of three talking about his vert "chaotic" walk with God. But, there are some fun things to talk about along the way...glossolalia, emergency bible reading...lots of things. Write to us at TrailerTrashTerrors@gmail.com

I am a Baseball Size Being Behind and Between My Eyes. Occasionally, I Can Have a "Joygasm."

Trailer Trash Terrors is back again, with episode 132. Where do you feel yourself to exist in your body? That was the question that would not leave me alone, or let me sleep. Heidegger called that (I think... Heidegger is pretty tough!) the "Dasein," If you have an OOBE, what is your "point of origin," and "point of return"? Come and delve into the very best of Trailer Trash Philosophy with Vic Hermanson as he does a solo episode.

Gef: Foe, Faith and Truth Bring Confusion to the Isle of Man

Episode 131 of Trailer trash Terror delves into the movie "Nandor Fodor and the Talking Mongoose." I, Vic Hermanson say it's a great movie, that does a fantastic job of making Gef, the famous talking mongoose to life, and also does a great job of asking some important philosophical question about the world of the paranormal, the minds of men, and the mysteries that bring wonder to the world. Gef was one weird little dude.

Elizabeth Returns: Vampire, Symbiont, and von Neumann Probe!

In what I am numbering episode 127 of the Trailer Trash Terrors podcast, I, Vic Hermanson, bring you an entirely new story-arc for Elizabeth, the 480 year old vampire first presented to the world by Dr. Stephen Kaplan in 1984, in the book "Vampires Are." It seems she has gone silent all these years. In a totally fictional, but carefully researched episode, I explore what a new correspondence stream with Elizabeth might be like. She's changed since 1984: she's stronger, both more human, and less

The Mystery of Oltissis, and The Paranormal Librarian to the Rescue!

In episode 126, we meet Marilyn Hudson, the Paranormal Librarian. She talks with Vic Hermanson about a book that seems to occupy a place of "ontological superposition," both existing and not existing at the same time. The supposed book, "Oltissis: Ancient Greek Gods and Lore Revisited," by Federico Iaonnides, (one of several possible spellings) has occupied Vic Hermanson's quite limited mind for years! It may or may not have been published, in France, in 1962. A copy of it may or may not have be

Flat Earth Legends and Lore Revisited

Flat Earth Legends and Lore Revisited

For this one, you will definitely need a comfy chair, some popcorn, and to plan on a bio-break or two. In episode 125 of TTT, Vic Hermanson gives Brad free reign to talk about his genuine belief in the Flat Earth "conjecture" to his heart's content. He does so with aplomb! Brad is neither a troll, nor a Poe...he's an honest, articulate man, who has deeply studied his position.

Thoughts About a Texas Murder, and the Guillotine of Long Ago

Episode 124 of the Trailer Trash Terrors episode is a genuine work of passion. I started off as an episode about Guillotines, then I shifted to discussing Billy George Hughes, a man who killed my cousin, State Trooper Mark Allan Frederick in 1976. Over time, and actually in a logical fashion, I get back the Guillotine, in all of it's lore and gory wonder. You'll hear the real story of Languille, direct from the original newspaper article. Plus, you get to hear Beelzebubba be a cheerleader. He's

In episode 119 of the Trailer Trash Terrors podcast, Vic Hermanson returns to the theme of invisibility, using the Ambrose Bierce story "The Damned Thing" as a jumping off point. Of course, the Lawrence Livermore invisible bigfoot has to be thrown in for good measure! He ends with a little Devil's Dictionary, also by Ambrose Bierce. Here's the Project Gutenberg link to "The Devil's Dictionary."

Episode 118 is the fifth and final episode of the Trailer Trash Terrors Monster Chronicles. It's a panel discussion with Vic, JJ Johnson, Father Birdsong, Chris James, and Dave Griffith, paranormal investigator extraordinaire. We do the best we can to define the essential characteristics of monsters, and, as usual, fail miserably! Or maybe you'll disagree! We also talk about the aspect of evil being a part of "monsterhood," and finally, we have some fun talking about the dreaded, and clearly evi

Episode 117 is the fourth segment of the Trailer Trash Terrors Monster Chronicles. Of course it's weird...but I don't think it disappoints. We have Newt from Alien, Sadaam the chimp, genetically engineered chimps, the SLAM nuclear plane, Spring-heeled Jack, The Partridge Creek Monster, the Kandahar Giant, and a new hypothesis about "Homo Sanguinas," a naturally evolved type of vampire. Oh...that's more than six! My bad. Plus, Boudreaux gets some hate mail! Here's a link to a peer reviewed paper

We Need Monsters! Monster Chronicles Part One

In episode 114 of TTT, Vic Hermanson is 100 percent, laser focused on monsters, which is actually his favorite topic. He talks about Carl, a patient that many nurses thought was a human-ape hybrid. He talks about Teratomas, which genuinely can look monstrous. He talks about the man-eating tree of Madagascar, plus much, much more. Then, as he often does, he gets all philosophical and tries to figure out what a monster is. Does he succeed? Listen and find out!

This is the first TTT Tidbit episode in a long time. You get to meet Acadia, a feminine cyberintelligence programmed by Boudreaux to give him an occasional "freaking break"! And, I tell you all about the Willowampus! It was pie-bald, the size and general shape of a large wolf, had feathers on the back part of its body and huge wings! Nobody has seen it since 1916...but that does not mean its gone!

In episode 112, I'm joined by Dave Griffith to talk about whether or not Daniel Dunglas home cold have won the James Randi Educational Foundation Paranormal Challenge. I personally don't think anyone can win the challenge, even if they levitate elephants on stage while juggling nuclear weapons and doing a Lady Gaga impersonation.

Huck Goodpasture: Damn Right the Earth is Flat, But I Ain't Talking!

It took 111 episodes of TTT, but finally, I'm publishing a rant episode. What's it about? Scientists, philosophers, savants, and jugglers are still arguing about that, and may be doing so for many years. Well, it's distantly, about an Australian flat Earther whom I'm calling Huck Goodpasture. That's a great name, huh! We never get to the flat Earth part...at least not in this episode. I also talk civil discourse, or the current lack thereof, unusually large male genitalia, dying alone, being ho

Were They The Last Cavemen?

Episode 99 of Trailer Trash Terrors centers around an article published in 1934, and written by Francis Dickie, who in many ways, was the Canadian Earnest Hemmingway. The article discusses the return of the "Sasquatch," a tribe of huge men, primitive me, troglodytic men, but men, nonetheless. At that time in Canadian history, the Sasquatch were just generally accepted as an unquestioned part of reality. I hope I did Francis Dickie justice.

This is episode 96 of the Trailer Trash Terrors podcast. It's all about what the world has called "fr**ks," fr**k-shows, their history, and how their impact on society simply cannot be dismissed. To be honest, I think it's one of the best shows I've ever done. Also, Beelzebubba returns! I hate the need to use the asterisks...honest conversation is one of the absolute requirements of a free society.

The always beneficent Vic Hermanson has come to the rescue, and here is the origin story of everybody's ambiguously creepy little girl! She also announces a new part of the show..."Ask Annabelle!"

This is part one of two, or perhaps even three episodes that deeply explore what we might possibly learn about the hidden, tendril connected world.

There are strong opinions expressed, unapologetically, in this episode, along with the stories and allegories. Listen at your own risk.

Tonight, we hear the longest of the three staves (chapters) so far, which is the story of the second spirit foretold by Marley, the Ghost of Christmas Present. I can't tell you enough how wonderful the writing is. I just hope I do it some justice in the reading. At the end, you also get to hear Father Michael Birdsong's Christmas message, and a shout out to the Southern Demonology podcast, and the Strange Things Podcast With Chris Ja

Dickens in the Trailer Park, A Christmas Cartol, Stave Two

Dickens in the Trailer Park, A Christmas Cartol, Stave Two

This is the second Stave, or "chapter" of a Christmas Carol, in which Scrooge encounters the Ghost of Christmas Past. As I read this, carefully for the first time in years, it becomes obvious just what an incredible genius Dickens was, in terms of observing and writing about the human state. He was equal to Shakespeare, Tolstoy, or Rand.

Before I Submitted to God, I Hauled Ass Away From Him

Before I Submitted to God, I Hauled Ass Away From Him

This is episode 84 of the Trailer Trash Terrors podcast. Tonight I interview Father Michael Birdsong, Pastor of Saint Michael and All Angels Church in Thomaston, Georgia. Father Birdsong is an exorcist; a real exorcist. He's talking about the sometimes horrific details of exorcism in other podcasts. But for this episode I wanted to talk to him about the man he is, the life experiences that led him to the point that he could assume the role of exorcist. That's an even more fascinating story. I tr

Tsar Bomba Still Resonates on Your Digital Recorder

Tsar Bomba Still Resonates on Your Digital Recorder

EVPs have become a standard part of my podcast recording practice. They show up in almost all of my recordings. So, I thought I would share a few and speculate about where they come from. This show will probably be expanded at some point. Plus, the whole gang is here! Boudreaux starts the show, Wilbur tells us all about "...them Satanic Mind-worms," Annabelle Lee checks in with a few tidbits and Beelzebubba has a heartwarming Christmas message!

I Had to Back Off So God Could Work

I Had to Back Off So God Could Work

Trailer Trash Terrors, Episode 81, is the full expansion of the interview with Josh, which was the focus of episode 80. He relates, in even greater detail, his experiences with long-term demonic oppression, self harm, and his eventual spiritual healing. Josh, with the help of God, has converted this pain to strength, joy, and purpose. We end the interview talking about profound expressions of faith. Plus Beelzebubba is back!

A Dream That May Have Saved My Life

A Dream That May Have Saved My Life

This episode presents the story of Josh, a young man who has faced , survived, and overcome multiple demons, both figuratively and literally. This story is presented in his own words, in his own voice, with none of the usual Trailer Trash Terrors bells and whistles. This story is profoundly powerful. The recording also has multiple EVPs.

Adventures Across the Jauntiverse

Adventures Across the Jauntiverse

What is Eternity? Does the entire concept of things that never end scare the bejeebers out of you? It can often make Vic Hermanson tremble like a leaf! In this episode we talk about eternity in general and delve deep into the 1981 Stephen King short story, "The Jaunt." It's a great framework for examining the ramifications of a human mind encountering the eternal.

The Things in the Swamps

The Things in the Swamps

Trailer Trash Terrors goes back to it's basic roots...finding the horror and wonder of the swamps. They are places of mystery, horror, refuge, loneliness and despair. They are places where human minds build their own reality...100 percent independent of our will. Get you snake gaiters on...and let's go on an adventure!

The Heretic Arius, His Fundament, and a Boston Bigfoot

Welcome to 76th overall episode of Trailer Trash Terrors! This is another TTT "grab-bag" episode. We talk about the third century crisis in the Catholic Church, the Arian Heresy, relate that to the current crisis in the Catholic Church and speculate, unapologetically, about the legitimacy of the Francis Papacy. Then, wham, we switch gears to talk about an 1840 article about a "Wildman" allegedly captured in the Minnesota wilderness and transported, along with two "cubs" to Boston, by Robert Linc

Jane Goodall, Nupta Cadavera, and Incredulity Through the Ages

This episode talks about Jane Goodall, her treatment by the media, De Loys' Ape, Incredulity, the execution method called Nupta Cadavera, The Einsatzgruppen, and the frailty of the human mind once it has become involved in evil. It's a standard Trailer Trash Terrors Fractal Ride. Or drunkard's walk...take your choice. Oh, by the way...I had to change the title...not because I was forced to do so, but because the original title made me feel like a jerk! I don't like feeling like a jerk.

I Can See Your Neck Veins Pulsing for Miles and Miles: Elizabeth, the 439 Year Old Vampire

I Can See Your Neck Veins Pulsing for Miles and Miles: Elizabeth, the 439 Year Old Vampire

This episode is all about an interview with a vampire. No, not that vampire, but Elizabeth, who contacted the vampire researcher Stephen Kaplan in the late 1970s. At that time she claimed to 439 years old. That means she would be pushin 500 years old in 2023. In the book "Vampires Are," Elizabeth relates her stories through a series of quite intense television interviews. No matter what question was thrown at her, she answerd immediately, without hesitation. This is a vampire interview you've ne

This is part one of a two part series interviewing Keith, an excellent thinker and professional poker player I met through Facebook. Keith holds many views contrary to my own, such as the legitimacy of NASA, and the shape of the Earth, but I greatly enjoyed talking to him. Keith will return for a more in-depth episode in a few weeks. This episode also begins an exploration of the idea of the "phaneron," which is the world as perceived through our senses, and the filter of our experiences. This s

Charlie Monroe, Transmission Repairman, and Local Antichrist

This is the long-delayed, and long-running third episode of the TTT Antichrist Trilogy. What if the ultimate evil force in the universe had a right-hand man, a highly competent bureaucrat who had the job of gathering data to make to eventual apocalypse more efficient? You might think of him as a Satanic process optimizer! This episode answers that question, in great depth. Original speculative fiction by Vic Hermanson.

Resurrection of the Potentially Giant Ghost Dogs

Resurrection of the Potentially Giant Ghost Dogs

This episode is all about "quirky" movies. We cover three movies I find to be odd, offbeat, brilliantly executed, made with great love, and very quirky indeed. We talk about "They Might be Giants," starring George C. Scott and Joanne Woodward, "Ghost Dog," starring Forrest Whittaker and a whole gang of central casting gangster actors, and finally, "Resurrection from 1980. Where's the terror? Quite frankly, I needed a break from terror and all things devoid of joy. I hope you enjoy this episode.

The Long and Stifling Road to Shreveport

The Long and Stifling Road to Shreveport

This episode is composed of a single story; one true and devastating story. There's nothing paranormal, nothing supernatural, not even anything particularly mysterious about this story, this experience. It's just a slice of humanity, both the good, and the bad, that will never leave my mind. It's the story of a six-rear-old boy, in an old Chevrolet, on the long and stifling road to Shreveport. It's a story I believe to be worth listening to.

Episode one of Season Three was made as a response to the "Eyes of the Devil" documentary. It covers organized child selling, buying, kidnapping, murder and organ harvesting.

I used Studio One for this episode. It took me 1 hour 59 minutes and 18 seconds to final mixdown writeout. Oh...the topic?

In this episode we discuss the tragic but fascinating life of Rhoda Derry. Sylvia Shults, the historian who has studied her life more than anyone else, and Dutch psychiatrist Bert van der Laan, help me delve deeply into the life and history of "Rhody," who spent most of 44 years in a "Utica Crib," gouged out her own eyes, was studied by "alienists" worldwide, and just perhaps, created a tulpa before her life fully deteriorated.

Death Has Always Been Part of the Family

This episode looks at death from a few different perspectives, both fictional and true. As always with TTT, the approaches we take are just a little "offbeat." This episode has two short stories: The first, "The Scapegoat and the Abba Hawk," is about an ER doctor who slips between lives. The second, "The Street of Plum Wine Dreams," tells a love story, with several supernatural elements, and is centered around a man who has sen, and felt more death than he can easily reconcile.

Dr. Edward Teller is generally referred to as "The Father of the Hydrogen Bomb." He found that title to be in poor taste and dis not like it. In this episode, we listen to Dr. Teller explain the universe, with the best understanding the world had in 1957. What's changed? Not as much as you might expect. Also, horror ot horrors, or perhaps terror of terrors, Vic Hermanson is trapped in the "waiting room," and has no idea how to get back to temporal reality!

A Factory for Corpses Abides Deep in the Gentling Forest

We examine "The Cross of Carl," A short novel written by Walter Owen in 1917. It's a novel about an unspeakable horror, that, at the time was admitted to by Germany.

Sure...just  like the Roswell crash was just a weather balloon.
