In The Odyssey, there’s a monstrous giant with one eye nobody today considers could have been real. But… could a creature survive with just one eye or one leg, and enormous proportions? Maybe so.

What did Marco Polo really encounter on his journeys through all of Asia? He reported seeing fearsome cryptids and bizarre creatures with his own eyes, just like Odysseus.

Some of the greatest explorers, mapmakers, and chroniclers in history documented things too amazing for most to consider possible today.

In this episode, Rob and John dive into that map’s monopods, Blemmyes, mandrakes, giants, and a beast so foul it would unleash hellfire on anyone who met it—literally.

Join investigative researcher Rob Counts and remote viewer John Vivanco for a Metaphysical show that’s out of this world.

In this episode: monopods, sciapods, bird-headed creatures, griffins, mermaids, mystery creatures, Dogmen, mandrakes, conscious plants, the Blemmyes, weird creatures, the bonnacon, what Marco Polo saw, remote viewing data from John Vivanco, mythology, legends, and more metaphysical history
