In this episode of Nightmares of the Americas: Indigenous Tales, we uncover the patterns from the ceque lines of the Inca to the serpent coils of the Mississippi Valley, sacred geometry was functional. Ceremonial. Required.
We cover the knowledge keepers who still carry it, the lines that organize spirit roads and cities, and the songs tied to visual patterns in the Amazon.
We also document what happens when the pattern is broken — when sacred designs are taken without instruction, when grids are misaligned, when geometry meant to seal is opened. These aren’t stories. These are real accounts. Misused patterns. Malfunctioning ceremonies. Beings that walk along the lines and don’t always leave.
Thanks for listening

This week on Turtle Island Talk, we’re bringing you some powerful updates and stories from across Indigenous nations — from justice long overdue to spiritual encounters that defy explanation.
We begin with a major update in the Jeremy Skibicki case out of Winnipeg. After continued advocacy, the remains of Morgan Harris and Marcedes Myran have been found, and “Buffalo Woman” has now been identified as Ashlee Shingoose.
Next, we turn to a rare win for land back: Illinois has returned stolen ancestral land to the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation — a long-overdue act of restitution.
In New Mexico, lawmakers have passed a long-fought-for alert system specifically for missing Native Americans, a critical step toward addressing the epidemic of MMIW.
Down in Peru’s Amazon, the Wampis Indigenous Guard continues to push back against illegal mining, defending their territory with bold resistance and deep tradition.
And finally, we end this episode on a chilling note — with former Navajo Ranger Stanley Milford Jr., who has broken his silence about the paranormal investigations he led on the Navajo Nation. From skinwalkers to Bigfoot to things you simply can't explain, his stories give us a glimpse into the unseen.

Deep in the canyons of northern Mexico, the Rarámuri people tell stories about giants—real ones. They're called Ganokos, and they’re not friendly spirits or misunderstood creatures. These things are tied to an ancient vegetation god named Ganó, who was said to steal and eat children.
In this episode, we break down the legend of the Ganokos and how it's still very real to the Rarámuri today. We’ll go through their deep history, the culture they’ve protected for centuries, and the places they still refuse to go, because something might be waiting.
We’re talking about modern sightings, missing people, and what the Ganokos could actually be—giants, guardians, or something even worse.
This one’s packed. Thanks for listening

The Ucumar, often called the Andean Bigfoot, is said to roam the remote mountainous regions of Argentina and Bolivia. Unlike its North American counterpart, it is typically described as shorter, stockier, and faster—ranging between five to seven feet tall. The body is covered in thick, dark fur, and most accounts claim it walks upright like a human but can drop to all fours when moving at high speed.
Most encounters occur at night or in heavily wooded areas, making it almost impossible to track. Some accounts say it watches people from a distance, staying just out of reach but making sure it is seen or heard enough to warn trespassers. Others claim it chases people away from certain areas, as if defending its territory.
What do you think it could be? A bear, a hermit, or maybe a spirit?

History isn’t just something we read about—it lingers. It listens. And sometimes… it reminds us it’s still here. In this episode of Nightmares of the Americas: Indigenous Tales, we dive into listener-submitted stories that bring us face-to-face with the unexplained.
From Mission San Luis de Apalachee in Florida, where voices from the past still echo in locked rooms and empty churches, to the shadowed roads of the Navajo Nation, where something unnatural watches and waits, these stories reveal the thin line between history and hauntings.
We thought we were just telling stories. But halfway through a story on a Navajo reservation, Joseph’s equipment completely shut down—no warning, no explanation. Maybe it was just a technical glitch. Or maybe, we were talking about something we weren’t supposed to.”
Some places don’t want to be forgotten. Some stories don’t want to be told.

In this special edition of Nightmares of the Americas: Indigenous Tales, we are on a mission to determine the most feared Indigenous creature of Latin America!
Six legendary nightmares, each with centuries of terror behind them, will face off in a single-elimination battle royale, where we decide who truly reigns as the most terrifying being of them all.
Will it be Camazotz, the bloodthirsty Mayan bat god who ruled the underworld? Or La Lechuza, the cursed owl-witch whose cries lure the unsuspecting to their doom? Can El Tío, the demonic overlord of the mines, crush the competition with his terrifying domain?
In each round, we analyze their origins, abilities, and encounters, and tell a story or two, then choose who is the most feared, based on their legendary status,, and the sheer terror they inspire.
But this is just the beginning! We’ll be running future battle royales for North America, and beyond to find the greatest nightmare of the Americas.
Who will rise as the most feared Indigenous entity of Latin America? Let’s find out.

Welcome to Turtle Island Talk 11, where we go into real stories impacting Indigenous communities across North America. From government surveillance and historical injustices to Indigenous resilience, activism, and culture—nothing is off the table.
In this episode, we explore the case of Jason Kennedy, a First Nations man who underwent surgery at Grace Hospital in Winnipeg—only to wake up and discover that doctors had amputated the wrong leg. Was this a tragic mistake, or part of the ongoing medical negligence Indigenous people face? We break down the long history of medical racism and what needs to change.
We also discuss Denise Shafer, the owner of La Indita, a beloved Mexican and Indigenous restaurant in Tucson, Arizona, that was recently targeted by ICE. Was this just a “routine” inspection, or a case of racial profiling? And why do Indigenous and Mexican-owned businesses seem to face this kind of scrutiny more than others?
Alongside these heavy-hitting stories, we also have much more so sit back and enjoy this episode of Turtle Island Talk.

In this episode of Nightmares of the Americas: Indigenous Tales, we sit down with one of the most compelling voices in country and folk music today—Vincent Neil Emerson. His music is raw, real, and deeply personal, weaving in stories of his Choctaw-Apache heritage, the displacement of his ancestors, and the struggles and triumphs that shape his sound.
From growing up in East Texas to touring with legends like Colter Wall, Charley Crockett, and Rodney Crowell, Vincent shares his journey as a songwriter, the pressures of representing Indigenous voices in country music, and how storytelling remains at the heart of his craft.
We’ll dive into the history behind his song The Ballad of the Choctaw-Apache, discuss his latest album The Golden Crystal Kingdom, and even explore some eerie folklore from his childhood.

The Marfa Lights are mysterious orbs of light that appear in the desert near Marfa, Texas. Witnesses describe them as glowing balls, often white, yellow, orange, or red. They move erratically—floating, darting, and sometimes splitting into multiple lights before merging back together. These lights are most commonly seen from Highway 90, near a specially designated viewing area built in 2003.
Reports of the lights date back to the late 19th century. One of the first written accounts comes from a cowboy named Robert Ellison, who spotted the lights in 1883 while driving cattle through the plains. He initially thought they were campfires from Apache tribes, but upon investigation, he found no trace of people or fires. Since then, countless travelers, ranchers, and even World War II airmen have documented similar sightings.

The Nalusa Falaya, descriptions vary, but they all share similarities. It stands unnaturally tall, its limbs thin and angular, like a body stretched beyond human proportions. Its movements are disturbingly smooth, almost like it’s gliding rather than walking. And its color—a black so deep it seems to absorb light itself—defies reality. This creature is also sometimes described in the same way but as a mist.
Those who’ve encountered the Nalusa Falaya often describe an overwhelming feeling of being watched, though it has no eyes to see, no mouth to speak, and no features at all. Witnesses say its head tilts slightly, as though it’s studying you, measuring you, waiting for something. And it doesn’t make a sound—not the snap of a twig, not the crunch of leaves. It is silent, some stories also say this creature doesn’t move, when you look away and look back it sometimes gets closer, others say it will drop to the ground kind of dissolve and appear as a snake or snake like being that moves quickly.
"The Choctaw say the Nalusa Falaya waits at the edges of light and shadow, luring the unwary into darkness. It doesn’t need to chase or attack. Its stillness is its weapon. The closer you are, the heavier the air becomes, until it feels like you’re suffocating under its gaze. Elders warn: 'Do not look at it too long. If you see it, it sees you, and it might follow you home.'

In our last episode, we go into the horrific origins of residential schools, institutions designed to forcibly assimilate Indigenous children by erasing their identities, culture, and language—a chilling attempt to “kill the Indian in the child.”
This episode continues the story, focusing on the personal experiences of survivors who endured unimaginable abuse, trauma, and loss in these so-called schools. We’ll explore their daily lives, the horrors they faced, and the resilience that helped them survive.
Please note: this episode contains graphic and distressing accounts of abuse and death. Listener discretion is strongly advised.
Join us as we confront this painful history, honoring the voices of those who lived through it and working toward understanding, healing, and reconciliation.

This week, we didn’t want to leave you without an episode, so we’re sharing an episode from our other podcast on the Behill Network, True Terror on Tap. We’ll be back next week with a brand-new show. Thanks for listening, and enjoy!
In this chilling episode of True Terror on Tap, host Joseph delves into the eerie, unexplained mysteries that defy logic and haunt the imagination. From the depths of Mel’s Hole—a supposed bottomless pit in rural Washington with inexplicable properties—to Seattle’s enigmatic Mystery Soda Machine that dispensed rare drinks and vanished as suddenly as it appeared, these tales push the boundaries of the known. The exploration continues with the relentless and puzzling phenomenon known as "The Hum"—a low-frequency noise heard worldwide, driving some listeners to the brink of madness—and culminates with the haunting saga of the Circleville Letters, where anonymous threats tore apart a small Ohio town. This episode invites you to dim the lights, question reality, and embrace the unknown. Prepare yourself; some mysteries refuse to be explained.
So Lock your doors, grab a taco, and prepare yourself—this is True Terror on Tap

Not that long ago Indigenous children across the Americas were torn from their families, their traditions, and their very identities. Behind the doors of residential schools, they faced relentless attempts to reshape their minds and erase their spirits—all in the name of 'civilization.'But what was life truly like for those taken? What scars still linger?
Today, we open a chapter in history that many tried to bury—a story of resilience, pain, and the fight to hold onto culture in the face of erasure. Welcome to 'Nightmares of the Americas: Indigenous Tales.' This is the beginning of our exploration of residential schools and the lasting legacy of assimilation.

In the Yucatan peninsula there’s a creature that lurks in the jungles that goes way back to the Mayan empire. I’m talking about the Huay Chivo, this is a shape-shifting shaman who takes on the form of a half-man, half-goat. Its body is covered in thick black fur, its legs resemble those of a goat or horse, and its eyes burn a haunting red, piercing through even the darkest nights."
"The Huay Chivo is a legendary creature found in Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize, particularly within the Yucatec Maya traditions. It is described as a shaman who can transform into a half-man, half-goat being, often characterized by glowing red eyes, thick black fur, and the ability to change into various animals. The creature is associated with dark sorcery and is believed to cause illness or misfortune with a glance. Reports often describe it as preying on livestock and creating fear within communities.

In this week’s episode we'll take you to the isolated wilderness of Peru, where Indigenous protection agents face not just natural threats, but paranormal ones as they navigate the territories of isolated tribes. Hear about the unsettling phenomena surrounding an abandoned outpost and the haunting encounters that hint at spirits guarding their ancestral lands.
We also journey along New Mexico’s infamous U.S. Route 491, formerly known as Route 666 or "The Devil's Highway." This stretch of road is steeped in both supernatural lore and the painful reality of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) crisis. We'll explore the chilling history and current tragedies that haunt this highway and discuss the ongoing fight for justice by affected communities.
That’s the latest news around Turtle Island this week. From supernatural encounters in Peru’s wilderness to the ongoing MMIW crisis along Route 491, these stories highlight the realities facing Indigenous communities today.

In our last episode, we explored the rise and fall of the mighty Inca Empire, the capture and execution of its last emperor, and the betrayal that forever changed the course of history. But his death wasn’t the end—it was just the beginning. According to legend, as the emperor drew his final breath, he cursed those who had betrayed him and the sacred gold they had stolen from his people.
Francisco Pizarro, a determined and ruthless conquistador, captured the Inca emperor during their fateful meeting in the town of Cajamarca. Despite promising to free him after receiving an enormous ransom of gold and silver, Pizarro betrayed , sentencing him to death after a mock trial.
On August 29, 1533, the emperor was executed, strangled to death by garrote. But according to legend, before he died, he uttered a final curse—a warning to those who had desecrated the sacred treasures of the Inca.
_"The gold you have taken will bring you only death. No man shall prosper from the treasures of the Sun."_ — Curse
In this final episode of the curse of the Incas, we’ll uncover the dark fate of Francisco Pizarro and his men, explore the eerie stories surrounding the lost treasure of the Incas, and dive into the modern-day accounts of those who have tried—and failed—to recover the Inca’s ransom.

Today, we’re taking you into the heart of a legend that stretches back nearly 500 years—a tale of betrayal, greed, and a curse said to haunt all who dared steal the riches of the Inca Empire. That's right folks were talking about the curse of the Incas.
This was the Incan Empire, temples made of gold, sitting under the sun and stretching across the Andean mountains. The whole place was massive. Then the Spanish conquistadors showed up. It was two completely different worlds colliding. Blood everywhere, a king gets betrayed, and then... well, that’s when the curse begins."
But before we dive into the curse itself, we need to understand the story behind it—the rise of the mighty Inca civilization, the tragedy of its last emperor, Atahualpa, and the ruthless conquistador who changed history: Francisco Pizarro.
We're kickin it old school in this deep dive into the history of the Inca!

In the frozen wilderness of the northeastern woodlands, where the howling winds cut through the trees and the snow piles high, there lurks a creature of unimaginable terror: the Chenoo. Towering above the treetops, with gaunt, skeletal limbs and eyes hollowed by eternal hunger, the Chenoo was once human—transformed by dark magic or cursed by a bitter heart. With every breath, its icy heart pulses with an insatiable desire for flesh, and its scream is said to be so chilling that it can kill anyone who hears it. Unlike any other monster, the Chenoo is a reminder that in the coldest reaches of the world, even the kindest soul can lose their humanity and become a predator driven by primal rage and an unquenchable appetite. The Chenoo is not just a creature of the wilderness—it is a haunting reflection of the dangers lurking in the shadows of our own darkest instincts.
Now, what is this creature, you might ask? The Chenoo, also known as the Giwakwa or Kiwakwa, is a towering, emaciated giant—a human, cursed and transformed through dark magic into a terrifying beast. It’s not just their enormous size that makes them frightening; it’s their insatiable hunger for human flesh. With fangs so large they’ve been known to eat their own lips in hunger, these creatures have been said to haunt the dense forests and icy wilderness, especially during the harsh winter months.
One of the most unsettling aspects of the Chenoo is that it was once human. The legends tell of ordinary people—men and women—who are cursed or transformed into Chenoos, losing their humanity as they grow larger and more ravenous. Unlike other giants in folklore, these aren’t mindless monsters but tortured souls, driven mad by an internal, icy heart of pure evil. And believe me, once they set their sights on a victim, there’s no escape. Their frozen, hollow screams can kill any living thing within earshot.

"In the vast, desolate plains of Argentina, under a pitch-black sky, a faint light flickers in the distance. It's not the comforting glow of a lantern or the warmth of a campfire. No, this light is something far more sinister. It dances just above the ground, casting eerie shadows as it sways to a rhythm only the dead understand. The locals call it Luz Mala—the 'Evil Light.' A ghostly glow said to mark the spot where restless souls remain trapped between this world and the next. Some say it’s a warning, a sign to steer clear of cursed ground. Others... believe it beckons the curious, luring them into the darkness, never to return. Tonight, we follow that flickering light, into the legend of Luz Mala. But be warned... not all who chase this light come back." This is nightmares of the americas Indigenous Tales”
