Tonight on Into The Portal for our first exclusive story recounted by the very US serviceman who witnessed it, which sends ITP on a strange investigation into entities of the region that may in fact be, the Monster of Lake Tharthar.This episode is dedicated to past and present service men and women around the world.  Need someone to talk to?

3: Monstrous Military Encounters Part III : Terrors of The Deep

There are stories that have surfaced since the years of the Second World War heralding from the Pacific arena that are indeed both strange and terrifying... Tales of Japanese forces that indicate they perhaps had more to deal with in the jungle besides the terrain and allied attacks. Reports of monster-sized entities lurking in the dense virgin rainforest of Guadalcanal, entities we can only describe as Giants! What exactly these creatures are is unknown, but the belief in their existence is strong across the islands. A relic human species? Completely unknown ape-like creature? Or something else all together? On this episode we are joined by Nikolaus Cox!

1: Monstrous Military Encounters: Part One

In the summer of 1836, a most bizarre discovery was made in Scotland.  Amongst the rocky crags of Arthur’s Seat, several young boys stumbled upon oddly placed slabs of stone on the hillside… Curious, they moved the stones, revealing a small cave. Inside, lain neatly in rows were 17 miniature Coffins. Their contents have led to wild speculations, but their true purpose, and creator, remain unknown to this day. Join ITP for the last episode of the strange year of 2020, and the final episode of Season One of Into The Portal!

152: The Fairy Coffins

In Alaska, strange things are happening: mysterious disappearances that number twice the national average, sightings and violent encounters with creatures indescribable in their horror. The ghost town of Portlock was allegedly abandoned in the 1940's due to the sinister forces lurking deep in the surrounding wilds, forcing its residents to pick up and flee in haste after what can only be described as a decades long siege of high strangeness that defies explanation to this day.
