Lon Strickler - Co-Host
Lon was born and raised in Hanover, Pennsylvania and later relocated to the Baltimore, MD Metro area in 1976. At an early age, Lon realized that he had the ability to sense spiritual energy and found this useful in the field when conducting investigations. Most of his early field work concentrated on spiritual activity at historical locations in Maryland and Pennsylvania, in particular locations where traumatic events have occurred. In 1981, Lon experienced a "Bigfoot" encounter near Sykesville, MD while fishing on the south branch of the Patapsco River. As a result of the incident, he included cryptid studies as an important part of his research. He continued to work regularly in the field until 2001, when physical limitations forced him to scale back.
In 2010, Lon became part of the 'Beyond The Edge Radio' family and currently co-hosts the weekly live broadcast. Lon started the Phantoms and Monsters blog in 2005, which has steadily grown in popularity and read daily by thousands of paranormal enthusiasts, investigators and those seeking the truth!
Lon published 'Phantoms & Monsters: Cryptid Encounters' on 9/25/2012 - available at Amazon.com
