🎙️Episode 33: Seam in the Dream: Demons, UFOs, and the Paranormal with Nathaniel Gillis

In this chilling and thought-provoking episode of Dark Florida, host Brooke Moreland welcomes Nathaniel Gillis, a respected researcher, demonologist, and author whose work explores the haunting overlap between demonology, UFO encounters, and the paranormal.

Gillis proposes that what humanity has come to call “the Phenomenon." Whether alien abduction, shadow entities, or spiritual possession. That it may in fact be the same ancient intelligence manifesting under different masks throughout history. Are we being deceived by something far older and far more cunning than we realize? Is the “alien” presence in our skies really a spiritual or metaphysical force wearing a new disguise for the modern age?

Together, Brooke and Nathaniel dive deep into questions that blur the lines between faith, fear, and reality: the true nature of possession, the manipulation of consciousness through dreams, and the role of deception in extraterrestrial contact experiences. From whispers of demonic mimicry to encounters that defy explanation, this conversation peels back the veil on what might be hiding behind the phenomenon itself. A protointelligence that has shaped our myths, our fears, and perhaps even our evolution.

Tune in as they explore the unsettling possibility that the Phenomenon is not what it seems and that it has always been with us, lurking in the spaces between our understanding and our nightmares.

💀👁️ Expect a deep, intelligent conversation that ties together theology, ufology, and the supernatural. All through the lens of Nathaniel’s decades of study into the unseen forces influencing our world.

👽 Episode: Lifelong Contact — Alien Encounters, CE-5, and the Interdimensional Connection

In this episode of Dark Florida, host Brooke Moreland sits down with Kathleen Tedder, a lifelong experiencer whose journey into the unknown began in childhood and continues to this day. From alien abductions and telepathic communication to elementals, CE-5 contact, and UFO sightings, Kathleen’s story blurs the line between the physical and the interdimensional.

Throughout the conversation, Kathleen shares intimate details of her earliest encounters and how they shaped her perception of reality. She describes moments of missing time, vivid telepathic exchanges, and otherworldly visitors that seemed to exist both here and somewhere else entirely. As she’s grown, her understanding of these experiences has deepened, revealing an ongoing connection with beings of consciousness, energy, and light that transcend traditional ideas of “extraterrestrial.”

Kathleen opens up about her CE-5 experiences and the process of human-initiated contact. The meditative states, the emotional frequency work, and the unmistakable presence that answers back. We also explore her experiences with elementals and interdimensional beings, and how all of these phenomena may share a hidden link. One that connects UFOs, consciousness, and even Bigfoot in ways that challenge everything we think we know about reality.

This is a haunting, thought-provoking conversation that reminds us that contact isn’t just happening in the sky. It’s happening in the mind, the spirit, and the unseen spaces in between.

31: The Mysterious Death of Ellen Greenberg - What Happened in Apartment 603?

In this chilling and heartbreaking episode of Dark Florida, host Brooke Moreland takes a deep dive into one of the most baffling and controversial cases of the last decade. The mysterious death of Ellen Rae Greenberg.

Ellen was a beloved 27-year-old schoolteacher living in Philadelphia, newly engaged, planning her wedding, and adored by her students, family, and friends. But in January 2011, she was found dead in her apartment with twenty stab wounds, including several to the back of her neck. And yet, her death was ruled a suicide.

From the moment first responders arrived at the scene, questions began to surface. Why were key witnesses never interviewed? Why was a search warrant issued after people had already entered the apartment and removed evidence? And why did the medical examiner change the ruling from homicide to suicide after meeting with police and the district attorney’s office?

Over the years, Ellen’s parents, Josh and Sandee Greenberg, have fought tirelessly to uncover the truth. Their heartbreaking pursuit of justice has exposed troubling inconsistencies, shifting narratives, and questionable handling of evidence. Despite the mounting forensic doubts and expert testimony, the official cause of death was once again reaffirmed as suicide in 2025. Reigniting public outrage and renewing calls for transparency and accountability.

In this episode, Brooke unpacks the timeline, the crime scene, and the ever-growing list of unanswered questions surrounding Ellen’s death. She explores the theories that have emerged, the shocking developments that continue to unfold, and the haunting reality of how a case like this could remain unresolved for so long.

This is not just a story about mystery. It’s a story about power, process, and persistence. About a family’s unrelenting search for justice and the disturbing gaps that still remain in the official story.

🎧 Turn down the lights, settle in, and listen closely. The details of Ellen Greenberg’s case will stay with you long after the episode ends.

30: The Crystal Beach Killing - Madman with M.F. Gross

🕯️ 1949 – Crystal Beach, Florida. A peaceful town. A brutal crime. A story too shocking to be fiction.

This week on Dark Florida, I sit down with author M.F. Gross to dive deep into his new book Madman, a chilling true account of one of Florida’s most shocking and forgotten crimes.

At the center of this story is John Calvin “Rastus” Russell. A drifter with a troubled past, a string of arrests, and demons that followed him everywhere. When Russell brutally murdered Norman Y. Browne and viciously attacked his wife in their seaside home, the crime shattered the tranquility of Crystal Beach and left the community reeling. Fear turned neighbors into vigilantes, and what followed was nothing short of chaos: a frantic manhunt, shocking revelations about the victims and their hidden pasts, and a string of twists that could rival the darkest crime fiction.

But this case didn’t end with Russell’s arrest. Secrets emerged about the Browne's, entangling the story in layers of betrayal, scandal, and questions that lingered long after the crime scene was cleared. When Russell escaped custody, the entire state was on edge. With a hurricane bearing down and law enforcement in pursuit, the chase for a madman became one of the most dramatic manhunts in Florida history.

Together, M.F. Gross and I explore the crime, the trial, the escape, and the broader social forces at play in 1940s Florida. From organized crime to the inner workings of Chattahoochee State Hospital. This case, nearly lost to time, is a haunting reminder of how violence, secrecy, and desperation can change a community forever.

If you’re drawn to true crime that reads like a gothic thriller, this episode will transport you back to post-war Florida and into the shadows of a town forever marked by one man’s brutality.

🎙️ Episode 29: In the Shadow of Big Red Eye: Bigfoot with Mike Familant

The Florida woods hold secrets, and tonight we’re venturing straight into them. On this episode of Dark Florida, I, Brooke Moreland, sit down with full-time Bigfoot researcher and investigator Mike Familant.

Mike’s story begins right here in the Sunshine State, where a strange encounter in 2011 changed the course of his life forever. Since then, he has dedicated himself to uncovering the truth about Bigfoot through countless expeditions, late-night investigations, and hours of analyzing mysterious evidence. He’s the producer and lead investigator behind the long-running docuseries In the Shadow of Big Red Eye, which documents his raw, unscripted adventures into Bigfoot territory. He’s also the creator of Squatchables, a series that helps new researchers learn how to take their very first steps into the field.

In this conversation, Mike shares his journey from that first eerie encounter in Florida to years of chasing Bigfoot across the Eastern United States. We talk about what it’s like to live the life of a squatcher—what really goes on during a night in the field, and the moments that have left him convinced that Bigfoot is out there. He also opens up about the challenges of being both a researcher and a storyteller, balancing skepticism with passion, and what it takes to keep going after more than a decade of searching.

Whether you’re a longtime believer or just curious about the unknown, this episode will make you look twice at the shadows between the trees. 👣🌲

Episode 28: Strange News - Florida Skunkape Sighting, UFO's, Antarctic Anomalies, and the Alien Threat

In this episode of Dark Florida, host Brooke Moreland takes you deep into the shadows of mystery, cryptids, and the unexplained. The journey begins with a chilling new Bigfoot sighting out of Florida, followed by the startling claims surrounding the “discovery” of an alleged Bigfoot body. From there, the focus turns skyward and seaward as we explore the possibility that UFOs may not just be coming from distant galaxies but emerging from the depths of our oceans. 🛸

The mysteries don’t stop there. A strange anomaly picked up on Google Maps off the coast of Antarctica raises new questions, suggesting the presence of something far from ordinary. Perhaps even a UFO hiding in plain sight. Brooke also shares her own personal UFO encounter, adding a firsthand layer to the conversation that connects the dots between cryptids, the skies, and the deep unknown. Finally, the episode unpacks 3iatlas and the eerie suggestion of a potential alien craft heading toward Earth, leaving us to wonder just how close contact might really be. 🌍🛰️

If you’ve ever questioned what lies hidden in our swamps, beneath our oceans, or in the skies above, this episode will leave you both thrilled and unsettled.

Episode 27: Bigfoot, Thunderbirds, Airship Mysteries, and High Strangeness in the Uwharrie Mountains with Michael Kirkpatrick

Step into the shadows with me as I sit down with researcher and experiencer Michael Kirkpatrick, also known as MK Ultra, for a chilling journey into the strange world of the Uwharrie Mountains. We uncover the high strangeness tied to this region and the chilling legends that refuse to fade.

Our conversation begins with the latest Small Town Monsters documentary, Bigfoot: The Monster of Morris Mountain, now streaming on YouTube. The film follows investigators Jessi and Joe Doyle of Hellbent Holler, along with local researcher Michael Kirkpatrick, as they trace the footsteps of a hiker who may have crossed paths with Bigfoot himself. But the story doesn’t stop with Sasquatch. The deeper you go, the stranger it gets.

Michael shares his own incredible encounters, from a jaw-dropping sighting of a Thunderbird to a UFO encounter that defies explanation. We peel back the layers of anomalous phenomena, possible portals, and otherworldly activity that seem to bleed into the fabric of the Uwharrie. Along the way, we dig into the mystery of the NIMZY Air Club, the strange saga of airship sightings, and the unsettling connections between Missing 411 cases and Thunderbird legends.

This episode is for those who dare to look into the dark corners of reality and wonder if all of these mysteries are part of the same tangled web. 🕸️

26: Saltwater Electrolysis with Ashish - Swapcast with The Occult Rejects

In this special swapcast episode, I join my friends over at The Occult Rejects, where I’m proud to be a fellow Reject and contributor, for a mind-expanding conversation with Ashish about a topic that might just change the way you look at ancient history: saltwater electrolysis. ✨

We explore the possibility that the Great Pyramids of Giza weren’t tombs at all, but instead sophisticated machines with an energetic function and what role saltwater electrolysis may have played in their true purpose. Our conversation ventures into the mysteries of megalithic structures around the world, including the Grand Canyon, where strange and anomalous patterns raise more questions than answers. We also dive into India’s forgotten place in ancient technology and cosmic history, and how these stories may have been buried or rewritten over time.🔺⚡

The construction of the pyramids. Lost technologies. Suppressed truths. Tune in and let your mind wander through time, across continents, and into the unknown.

This is an episode for the thinkers, seekers, and stargazers. 🧠✨ Whether you're deep into ancient mysteries or just curious about what might lie beneath the surface of mainstream history, this one is for you.
