A Strange but Familiar Time with Tim Renner - March 14, 2026

In this deeply reflective and mysterious episode of *Where Did The Road Go?*, host Soraya sits down with longtime guest Tim Renner to explore a haunting and transformative experience he had in Hex Hollow, a local park he’s hiked for decades. Renner recounts a December hike where he encountered a series of inexplicable phenomena: wood knocks, canine footprints that inexplicably turned into human footprints and back again, a massive fox-like creature, and a cairn of ancient stones. Most startlingly, when he ran AI audio analysis on ambient recordings from the site, the software returned a distorted, recurring voice that sounded like it was saying 'werewolf'—a phenomenon that only occurred with audio from that specific day and location. This leads to a broader philosophical discussion about the nature of the paranormal: are these experiences external, internal, or a blend of both? Renner and Soraya explore the idea that the 'other' communicates through symbols, ritual, and altered perception, not necessarily through good or evil, but through a language we’re only beginning to understand. They reflect on how human interpretation—shaped by culture, fear, and expectation—colors our experience of the unknown, using examples from Bigfoot sightings, Marian apparitions, and even a dead cat on a trail to illustrate how meaning is constructed in the face of the inexplicable. The episode ultimately suggests that the real mystery isn’t whether these phenomena are real, but how we choose to interpret them—and what that says about us.
