#419 South Africa's SCARIEST Cryptid - The Tokoloshe

2025 TOUR TICKETS ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.thisparanormallife.com⁠⁠⁠ Leicester is famous for many things; it’s football club… cheese… OK that’s pretty much it. But what about HUMAN SACRIFICE? It sounds far-fetched and yet like much of ancient Britain the land was once ruled by pagans, many of whom practiced a druidic religion which may have involved human sacrifice. Some say it’s because of that ancient history that Leicester’s Humber Stone has come to be cursed. Ghost sightings, spontaneous combustion, and possession have all been reported in this small region of Leicestershire. What is going on? And is it paranormal? It’s time for Rory and Kit to find out.

2025 TOUR TICKETS ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.thisparanormallife.com⁠⁠ One November evening in 1974, a group of children spotted a mysterious light streaming across the sky. The kids watched as it jetted from the clouds and CRASHED into a nearby pond, sinking down below the water, where it continued to glow for 9 hours. It wasn’t long before the small town was flooded with press and Ufologists, as Carbondale had just become the site of a UFO crash.

2025 TOUR TICKETS ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.thisparanormallife.com⁠⁠ Canada is big. So big in-fact that it’s easy to hide things there. Don’t believe me? Maple syrup wasn’t bottled and sold around the world until the 1950s — THAT’S how secret they can keep things. So as it turns out it’s a great place to be a UFO with wide, vast, open plains and mountain ranges to fly around without being spotted. Except in 1975 I guess one of those UFOs screwed up and visited Manitoba, where it became a kind of local celebrity known as ‘Charlie Red Star’. What follows is documented as one of the world’s most believable UFO sightings. But do Rory and Kit believe?… time to find out!
