"Well, we’re officially live. We have 11 brave followers on Twitter and 66 likes on our Facebook Page. Let’s see what happens.”
– Scott Philbrook, in an email to Forrest, from Oct 1st, 2014
LOCATION:
One of several possible locations rumored to be the mysterious recording "studio" known as "Blanket Forteana."
Background:
This podcast wouldn't be as complete or as much fun to work on if it wasn't for the help of a special group of volunteer contributors, collectively known as the Astonishing Research Corps, or ARC for short, who have now become good friends as well as valued collaborators. So we figured it would be fitting to salute their efforts for our celebratory 100th episode by having some of the ARC's founding members tell their own strange and mysterious tales. We hope you find their stories entertaining and engaging, which we believe also serve to reinforce an Astonishing Legends adage, that if you personally haven't had an encounter with the paranormal, you probably know someone who has.
