This week MOZ explores the malevolent world of the ever-present shapeshifter and discusses some related theories from authors: Nick Redfern, Linda Godfrey, Rosemary Ellen Guiley, & more! Moz unmasks the culprit behind the hellhound from Newgate Prison while formulating his own theories in this double-double-episode shapeshifter extravaganza! Come along with the Monster Lore Tour as we reach deep into the darkest depth of ancient shamanic lore to find the source of this mystical magic. Can MOZ pick up the trail of the shapeshifter? Tune in and find out!
Many thanks to Mr. Tim Leavy @ timleavy.com for the greatest theme song in the paranormal realms!
