Welcome to The Verbal Echo. Join host Monica Martin and Co-host Sara Rowe as we recount experiences through the voices of those who've lived to tell their stories. We seek to understand the human story, with all its unexpected and often weird twists and turns.

You will hear first-hand stories of the unexplained—from mysterious cryptids and alien encounters to paranormal experiences that defy explanation through the lens of the human experience. We will talk with authors, researchers, other podcasters, experts, and everyday people who need a sounding board to share everything they know.

Each episode features human stories that challenge what we think we know, revealing details that often fly under the radar. We don't want mainstream conversations on this podcast. We look at the fringe, the edges, and the intersections of thought-provoking topics and coax them out of the shadows.

If you’re drawn to the strange and hidden, join us on The Verbal Echo and discover how every story can change what you believe is possible.

No guardrails.

    Who built Stonehenge, how did they move those massive stones, and what were they trying to tell us?

    In this episode of The Verbal Echo, Sara takes us thousands of years into the past to explore one of the world's most fascinating ancient monuments. From its mysterious origins and extraordinary construction to the myths, legends, and celestial alignments surrounding it, Stonehenge continues to raise questions about the people who created it.

    How did prehistoric communities transport and raise stones weighing several tons? What role did the sun, moon, and changing seasons play in its design? Was Stonehenge a sacred gathering place, a burial ground, an astronomical observatory, or something we have yet to fully understand?

    We'll explore the archaeological discoveries, ancient engineering techniques, folklore, and astrological interpretations that have kept Stonehenge at the center of historical curiosity for centuries.

    And, of course, we'll consider some of the more unconventional theories surrounding its purpose and construction.

    Join us for another episode of The Verbal Echo. No Guardrails.

  • Black Eyed Kids: Brian Bethel's Encounter in 1996 Abilene, Texas

    Next episode is part 1: Stonehenge!

    Black Eyed Kids: The Knock You Shouldn’t Answer

    It started in a strip mall parking lot in Abilene, Texas, in 1996. A journalist, Brian Bethel, was sitting alone in his car. Two children at the window. A request for a ride and a pair of eyes that were completely blacked out. The legend has morphed and continued over thirty years. What's really going on?

    On this episode, Monica and Sara examine one of modern folklore’s most precisely traceable legends — the Black Eyed Kids. Unlike most paranormal phenomena, this one has a name, a date, a location, and an origin witness who has never recanted. Brian Bethel, a career reporter for the Abilene Reporter-News, posted his account to an early internet mailing list in 1998 and quietly ignited a global phenomenon.

    We trace how the legend spread from small-town Texas to the UK countryside, look at the cases that followed — including reports from Colorado, a U.S. military installation, and rural England — and talk through what researchers, folklorists, and behavioral scientists make of encounters described with near-identical detail by strangers across continents.

    The BEKs don’t force into your space; they just politely and weirdly ask. And that — more than the eyes — may be the strangest part of all.

  • The Collegiate Peaks Triangle: A Stolen Valley, a Secret Compound, and Something Moving Through the High Country
    Sep 6 2026

    Before the boomtowns, before the railroads, before the silver rush that built Gunnison and buried it again — there were the Tabeguache Ute. The largest of the ten Ute bands, they called themselves Núu-ci — The People — and the Gunnison Valley was their indigenous homeland. According to their own creation tradition, it was the place they came from. Then came 1880, the Removal Act, and an army escort out of the Shining Mountains. The land that was taken is the same land every ghost, every tragedy, and every unanswered question in this region is part of.

    We look at a gated religious compound that operated in a Gunnison mountain valley for nearly fifty years — members only, no exceptions, until January 2025. We look at what moves through the high country that experienced outdoors people cannot explain. And we look at the cases of people who walked into the Black Canyon, or the remote eastern forests of Gunnison County, and did not walk out. We look at cryptid encounters, bigfoot sightings and missing people who have disappeared in modern day. This is a strange place full of mysteries.
