Dave Cruz was born in Oakland, CA in 1970. He grew up learning about different lore and Urban legends from family and friends. Stories of witches, vampires and even possessed dolls were often told at family gatherings. Strange happenings often followed him around. Growing up, Dave watched shows like In Search Of.., Ripley’s Believe It or Not! and That’s Incredible.

Often fascinated with the strange, and experienced paranormal events, he’s always questioned his purpose in life. Also, Dave’s witnessed UAP (Unidentifiable Arial Phenomena) once as a teen and later in the past 10 yrs. He has interviewed and spoken with numerous witnesses in the UFOlogy Community and host a live internet radio show called ‘Beyond The Strange Radio‘.

Going way back to my days as a youth, I remember hearing strange stories and Urban legends from family and friends only to see some of them talked about on shows like In Search Of.. That’s Incredible! and Ripley’s:Believe it or Not! Now some 30 yrs later with the help of Online Radio and Podcast, we re-visit the Strange and Paranormal once again!
