Harbingers of Doom w/ Jehssye Ince

·1 hr 25 min·5 clips
PJ Williams welcomes Jehssye Ince to discuss oarfish, foxes, and deer as harbingers of doom in this chilling episode.
This episode of Dark Ocean features host PJ Williams and returning guest Jehssye Ince exploring animals and creatures considered omens of disaster. Ince previously discussed the animated series Gravity Falls on Williams's other show, Real Conspiracies. The conversation is structured around specific animal categories each speaker has prepared. Jehssye Ince plans to cover three primary examples: the oarfish, often called the doomsday fish; several stories involving foxes; and accounts related to deer. Ince notes the oarfish is particularly associated with predicting earthquakes and other natural disasters. PJ Williams intends to discuss crows, ravens, and other winged creatures viewed as harbingers. Williams explicitly mentions the Mothman phenomenon, stating the discussion will extend beyond the well-known John Keel book *The Mothman Prophecies* and the town of Point Pleasant. The episode promises to examine these portents across different environments, from sea to land to air. A specific point of connection is that both hosts independently researched the same incident but from different animal perspectives. The oarfish segment will delve into its cultural reputation as a predictor of seismic events. The fox stories are a personal favorite for Ince, given their stated affection for the animal. Williams's segment on winged harbingers will include but not be limited to the Mothman case. The hosts suggest the episode will uncover lesser-known narratives beyond the mainstream accounts of these omens. The tone is conversational and collaborative, with both hosts sharing their prepared topics in a friendly, excited manner. The style is exploratory, aiming to survey a wide range of folklore and anomalous reports linked to animals. Listeners who enjoy cryptozoology, folklore, and paranormal case studies will find this episode engaging. Those seeking deeply analytical critiques or scientific debunkings of these topics might prefer to skip it.
