Jim Jones: Communism, Control, Fear, and Death in the Sweltering Jungle

In episode 137 of the Trailer Trash Terrors, Vic Hermanson does his very best to bring a unique TTT twist to the Jonestown massacre tragedy. If you think you know the whole story, I can almost guarantee that you are wrong! You won't know the whole story after this podcast either, but you'll be closer, and perhaps you'll have some insight you didn't have before. Please contact the podcast, and it's creator at TrailerTrashTerrors@gmail.com. This story cannot be fully told without using at least so...

The Moon in a Mountain South of LA, Plus Assorted Candy Drops

Chris James, host of the Strange Things With Chris James podcast, returns to TTT to talk about a rarely heard moon landing conspiracy theory. I've never heard this particular theory...when it comes to NASA, that's hard to do. Plus, we bounce around to a number of USDA Grade A Hermanson / James Rabbit Holes. You will enjoy! PS: Here's the Black Slimy Goat Grabber! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zABUkK1V6j8

The Good, The Bad, and the Paranormal Rundown

I screwed up. I used a section of a Pink Floyd song that I thought fell under the protection of fair use. Spotify disagreed, so I had to replace 22.7 seconds of "Keep Talking." So,I've fixed it with a cool little composition out of Smart Sound. What's the show about? Hey, it's a Rundown from the Gang of Nerds! It's about "dis, dat, and de uder thing!" How about giving it a go! Here's the original description: It's another fully accelerated, pedal to the metal PARANORMAL RUNDOWN, jointly produced...

We are made of Stories, But Our Quantum Tubule Memory is Imperfect

In Episode 135, Vic Hermanson disusses,along with Dave Griffith,the whole idea of "Lost Stories." Over the Years,there have been many stories he has read and loved, but then "lost" the title and the author's name. But the stories are still there in all their glory! Perhaps you can help him out, or add some "lost stories" of your own. If you leave a comment here, please email it to TTT also so I can respond.

A Dying Man Speaks of Bataan

Trailer Trash Terrors returns with a story of one man's experience during the Death March of Bataan in 1942, told as well as Vic Hermanson can remember it. It's a story of true-terror, where the paranormal aspect of it was overshadowed by the terror that standard flesh and blood men could bring. Oh, and Boudreaux gets the title wrong. Hey, he's out of practive too!

Vic Hermanson's Chaotic Walk With God, Part One

In episode 133 of TTT, Vic Hermanson addresses several realities: (1) God does not usually speak to us, or at least him. But, sometimes, God makes it clear as to what he is supposed to do. (2) The podcast is part one of three talking about his vert "chaotic" walk with God. But, there are some fun things to talk about along the way...glossolalia, emergency bible reading...lots of things. Write to us at TrailerTrashTerrors@gmail.com

I am a Baseball Size Being Behind and Between My Eyes. Occasionally, I Can Have a "Joygasm."

Trailer Trash Terrors is back again, with episode 132. Where do you feel yourself to exist in your body? That was the question that would not leave me alone, or let me sleep. Heidegger called that (I think... Heidegger is pretty tough!) the "Dasein," If you have an OOBE, what is your "point of origin," and "point of return"? Come and delve into the very best of Trailer Trash Philosophy with Vic Hermanson as he does a solo episode.

Gef: Foe, Faith and Truth Bring Confusion to the Isle of Man

Episode 131 of Trailer trash Terror delves into the movie "Nandor Fodor and the Talking Mongoose." I, Vic Hermanson say it's a great movie, that does a fantastic job of making Gef, the famous talking mongoose to life, and also does a great job of asking some important philosophical question about the world of the paranormal, the minds of men, and the mysteries that bring wonder to the world. Gef was one weird little dude.

Trailer Trash Terrors is back!!!

When a Vampire Seeks Absolution

In episode 128 of the Trailer Trash Terrors podcast, Vic Hermanson delves into some of the thought processes he explored in the growth and evolution of the Elizabeth the Vampire character. Father Michael Birdsong, Deacon Josh Birdsong, Dave Griffith (paranormal investigator) delve deep into what might happen if a vampire, that HAD to kill humans to survive, were to approach an ordained priest to see if absolution, through confession, were possible. But as usual, we delve into multiple peripheral...

Elizabeth Returns: Vampire, Symbiont, and von Neumann Probe!

In what I am numbering episode 127 of the Trailer Trash Terrors podcast, I, Vic Hermanson, bring you an entirely new story-arc for Elizabeth, the 480 year old vampire first presented to the world by Dr. Stephen Kaplan in 1984, in the book "Vampires Are." It seems she has gone silent all these years. In a totally fictional, but carefully researched episode, I explore what a new correspondence stream with Elizabeth might be like. She's changed since 1984: she's stronger, both more human, and less ...

The Mystery of Oltissis, and The Paranormal Librarian to the Rescue!

In episode 126, we meet Marilyn Hudson, the Paranormal Librarian. She talks with Vic Hermanson about a book that seems to occupy a place of "ontological superposition," both existing and not existing at the same time. The supposed book, "Oltissis: Ancient Greek Gods and Lore Revisited," by Federico Iaonnides, (one of several possible spellings) has occupied Vic Hermanson's quite limited mind for years! It may or may not have been published, in France, in 1962. A copy of it may or may not have be...

Flat Earth Legends and Lore Revisited

For this one, you will definitely need a comfy chair, some popcorn, and to plan on a bio-break or two. In episode 125 of TTT, Vic Hermanson gives Brad free reign to talk about his genuine belief in the Flat Earth "conjecture" to his heart's content. He does so with aplomb! Brad is neither a troll, nor a Poe...he's an honest, articulate man, who has deeply studied his position. Plus, throw in a little standard Trailer Trash Terrors weirdness, an appearance by Annabelle Lee, Some crocodiles (of co...

Thoughts About a Texas Murder, and the Guillotine of Long Ago

Episode 124 of the Trailer Trash Terrors episode is a genuine work of passion. I started off as an episode about Guillotines, then I shifted to discussing Billy George Hughes, a man who killed my cousin, State Trooper Mark Allan Frederick in 1976. Over time, and actually in a logical fashion, I get back the Guillotine, in all of it's lore and gory wonder. You'll hear the real story of Languille, direct from the original newspaper article. Plus, you get to hear Beelzebubba be a cheerleader. He's ...

The Damned Thing and Its Damned Invisible Relatives

In episode 119 of the Trailer Trash Terrors podcast, Vic Hermanson returns to the theme of invisibility, using the Ambrose Bierce story "The Damned Thing" as a jumping off point. Of course, the Lawrence Livermore invisible bigfoot has to be thrown in for good measure! He ends with a little Devil's Dictionary, also by Ambrose Bierce. Here's the Project Gutenberg link to "The Devil's Dictionary."

Episode 118 is the fifth and final episode of the Trailer Trash Terrors Monster Chronicles . It's a panel discussion with Vic, JJ Johnson, Father Birdsong, Chris James, and Dave Griffith, paranormal investigator extraordinaire. We do the best we can to define the essential characteristics of monsters, and, as usual, fail miserably! Or maybe you'll disagree! We also talk about the aspect of evil being a part of "monsterhood," and finally, we have some fun talking about the dreaded, and clearly ev...

Is Existence Binary? Six Monsters Seeking a Place on the Spectrum of Actuality

Episode 117 is the fourth segment of the Trailer Trash Terrors Monster Chronicles. Of course it's weird...but I don't think it disappoints. We have Newt from Alien, Sadaam the chimp, genetically engineered chimps, the SLAM nuclear plane, Spring-heeled Jack, The Partridge Creek Monster, the Kandahar Giant, and a new hypothesis about "Homo Sanguinas," a naturally evolved type of vampire. Oh...that's more than six! My bad. Plus, Boudreaux gets some hate mail! Here's a link to a peer reviewed paper ...

In episode 116 of The Trailer Trash Terrors podcast, Vic Hermanson joins forces with the amazing and eclectic mind of JJ Johnson, host of Southern Demonology, and a true expert on Japanese monsters...the Yokai. It's always fascinating to hear the thoughts of a mind like JJ's!

We Need Monsters! Monster Chronicles Part One

In episode 114 of TTT, Vic Hermanson is 100 percent, laser focused on monsters, which is actually his favorite topic. He talks about Carl, a patient that many nurses thought was a human-ape hybrid. He talks about Teratomas, which genuinely can look monstrous. He talks about the man-eating tree of Madagascar, plus much, much more. Then, as he often does, he gets all philosophical and tries to figure out what a monster is. Does he succeed? Listen and find out!

The Wilowampus, Banisher of the Gyascutus

This is the first TTT Tidbit episode in a long time. You get to meet Acadia, a feminine cyberintelligence programmed by Boudreaux to give him an occasional "freaking break"! And, I tell you all about the Willowampus! It was pie-bald, the size and general shape of a large wolf, had feathers on the back part of its body and huge wings! Nobody has seen it since 1916...but that does not mean its gone!

The Great James Randi and Daniel Dunglas Home Showdown

In episode 112, I'm joined by Dave Griffith to talk about whether or not Daniel Dunglas home cold have won the James Randi Educational Foundation Paranormal Challenge. I personally don't think anyone can win the challenge, even if they levitate elephants on stage while juggling nuclear weapons and doing a Lady Gaga impersonation. Here's Boudreaux's intro to give you the full story: Greetings temporal humans. This is Boudreaux, the nebulo-chaotic, cybernetic ghost from the future. I like that wor...

Huck Goodpasture: Damn Right the Earth is Flat, But I Ain't Talking!

It took 111 episodes of TTT, but finally, I'm publishing a rant episode. What's it about? Scientists, philosophers, savants, and jugglers are still arguing about that, and may be doing so for many years. Well, it's distantly, about an Australian flat Earther whom I'm calling Huck Goodpasture. That's a great name, huh! We never get to the flat Earth part...at least not in this episode. I also talk civil discourse, or the current lack thereof, unusually large male genitalia, dying alone, being hos...
