I listen to some of these shows in order to be aware of what folks are claiming is possible.
The range of stories is amazingly broad; they cover the full spectrum of belief (from adorable teachers/healers to alpha male killers).
That is not what I have experienced and is not what others that I have met in BFRO trips have experienced.
But maybe BF experiences follow a gaussian curve, and you could get those long tail experiences that are beyond bizarre.
Or maybe there are different types of BFs out there.
I don't know.
In these radio shows, we can't tell if the speaker is telling the truth, but we might be able to detect deception.
For example, in that last show from Sas Chronicles, with the story about the guy who was dismembered, the storyteller said 2 things that were red flags immediately and lowered his credibility.
1) He said that he and his buddy walked 15 miles following a bloody trail and left sticks for every body part found. Hiking 15 miles out and 15 miles back will take a full day! And he claimed there was blood and body parts for 15 miles?! I don't believe it.
2) He said that the unknown government agency brought dogs to leave wolf like tracks and then told the community at large that a pack of wolves killed the man. To me, if a government agency tells the press that a pack of wolves is killing people in North Carolina, that would be front page news. Even more significant than BF, because wolves are real animals. I read that there are no gray wolves in NC, but that they have red wolves. But I have no idea if a pack of red wolves have ever killed anybody in NC. The whole cover story sounds bizarre.
If people want us to take them seriously with extraordinary claims likes these, then at a minimum they should find the newspaper clippings or incident report for that incident describing how the man was discovered and dismembered over 15 miles and describing how the local F&G Dept. said it was done by wolves.
No newspaper or incident report on a human death? Then it is just another wild tale for our entertainment.
