Verbal Echo

Monica Martin and Co-Host Sara Rowe

Welcome to The Verbal Echo. Join host Monica Martin and Co-host Sara Rowe as we recount experiences through the voices of those who've lived to tell their stories. We seek to understand the human story, with all its unexpected and often weird twists and turns.

You will hear first-hand stories of the unexplained—from mysterious cryptids and alien encounters to paranormal experiences that defy explanation through the lens of the human experience. We will talk with authors, researchers, other podcasters, experts, and everyday people who need a sounding board to share everything they know.

Each episode features human stories that challenge what we think we know, revealing details that often fly under the radar. We don't want mainstream conversations on this podcast. We look at the fringe, the edges, and the intersections of thought-provoking topics and coax them out of the shadows.

If you’re drawn to the strange and hidden, join us on The Verbal Echo and discover how every story can change what you believe is possible.

No guardrails.

    Ghost Ships, Werewolves, and Dogman Lore

    Ghost ships drifting without crews, pirate legends that refuse to fade, and the mysterious origins of the Dogman—this week Monica and Sara go deep into the archives of the strange. In this episode of Echoes After Dark, they explore some of the most famous ghost ships in maritime history, including the Mary Celeste, the legendary Flying Dutchman, the frozen mystery of the Octavius, and the haunting story of the Carroll A. Deering. Each case carries its own unanswered questions, eerie sightings, and long-standing legends from sailors who claimed to witness something they couldn’t explain. The conversation then turns toward the Dogman, examining the roots of the creature’s lore and how historical accounts, regional folklore, and modern sightings may have shaped the narrative over time. From haunted seas to shadowy forests, this episode dives into the strange places where history, folklore, and unexplained encounters continue to echo. ------------------------------ Find us on Patreon and become a founding FREE Member!
