Nephilim in the Ozarks w/ Nicholas J Daigle

Nephilim Death Squad Biblical Conspiracy – January 14, 2026
Hosts: Top Lobsta & David Lee Corbo ("Raven") | Guest: Nicholas J. Daigle

Episode Overview

This episode explores the intersection of biblical narratives and American archaeology, focusing on the possibility of Nephilim (biblical giants) in the Ozarks. Featuring guest and author Nicholas J. Daigle ("Genesis 6 and the Ozarks"), the discussion unpacks evidence for giants in the USA, debates theological interpretations of Genesis 6, and dives into local Ozark legends, burial practices, and their connections to broader spiritual and conspiracy frameworks.

Main Discussion Points and Insights

1. What Are the Nephilim? (06:40–13:54)

• Origin of the Topic: Nicholas Daigle shares how reading Genesis 6 led him on a two-year personal journey into obscure biblical mysteries, having previously been unfamiliar with the Nephilim.
• Biblical Text: Genesis 6 briefly mentions the "sons of God" mingling with the "daughters of men," producing "mighty men of renown," before the flood narrative.
• Mainstream Interpretations:
  • Sethite View: The "sons of God" are seen as Seth’s descendants and the "daughters of men" as Cain’s. However, Daigle challenges this, noting:

    "These children aren't coming out 9, 10, or 11 foot tall. So... I don't feel like that one really holds weight." (Nick J. Daigle, 10:09)

  • Supernatural View: Hosts and guest lean towards "Beneha Elohim" meaning divine or angelic beings—directly referencing angels, not humans.
  • Cross-Cultural Parallels: Demigod motifs across world mythologies (Greek, Sumerian, Celtic) mirror the Nephilim narrative.

2. Evidence for Giants in America & the Ozarks (22:55–54:42)

• Historical Research Techniques:
  • Daigle scoured old plot maps, newspaper archives, and books, focusing particularly on Springfield, Missouri and surrounding areas.
  • Cites researchers like Tom Horn, L. A. Marzulli, and Fritz Zimmerman, who document giant skeleton finds in early 20th-century newspapers.
• Key Findings:
  • Sterling Newberry: Baptist pastor and amateur archaeologist in Springfield, MO, found elaborate artifacts (possible Aztec pottery, bear idols), and a seven-foot skeleton in a burial mound. (37:19–39:01)
  • Burial Mounds: Ozark region contains unique "spoke burial mounds," with bodies arranged radiating out like wheel spokes, suggesting solar or sun-worship significance. (42:43–45:22)
  • Smithsonian Involvement: Many giant skeletons promptly taken by Smithsonian representatives, with local discoveries often falling into obscurity.
  • Cannibalism Evidence:
    • Parallels between bone findings in Missouri and the famed Lovelock Cave in Nevada, with bones broken for marrow—suggesting cannibalistic practices among ancient giants. (65:00–67:41)
• Direct Experience:
  • Daigle and colleagues have visited and found artifacts at these sites, noting how most Americans walk atop historic burial mounds without realizing their significance.

3. Theological & Linguistic Explorations (13:55–21:53)

• Scriptural Language:
  • Examines "Beneha Elohim," highlighting its consistent usage as "sons of God" in Job (20:41), tied to divine council/angels rather than humans.
• Implications:
  • Accepting a supernatural biblical worldview allows a broader interpretation of ancient mysteries:

    "Everything in the Bible is supernatural... So this really... is not that much more out there than anything else that I claim or Christians claim to believe." (Nick J. Daigle, 24:03)

  • Recognizing this filter helps reconcile moral and historical conundrums (such as OT violence and bloodlines).

4. Hybridization, Cryptids, and the Scope of ‘Nephilim’ (51:35–54:42)

• Expanding the ‘Nephilim’ Definition:
  • Nephilim as a broad category for genetic/spiritual hybrids—not just giants, but also dwarfs, and possibly even "cryptids" (dogman, American monsters), referencing hybridization in ancient mythologies and the animal-headed gods of Egypt.
  • Hosts tie this to Leviticus prohibitions about defects, suggesting spiritual or ritual reasons for excluding certain hybrids from priesthood.
  • Speculation on cryptids or little people in Native American folklore as possible offshoots of Nephilim hybridization.

5. Native American Connections and Rituals (54:43–63:19)

• Story of Harry Starlight:
  • An Osage chief, Harry Starlight, befriended Newberry, inviting him to a ritual involving fire (possibly for contacting ‘little people’). The event turned tense and supernatural overtones were strong—Daigle suggests the bear idol from this event could connect to ritual shape-shifting or skinwalking. (54:42–60:10)
  • The bear idol bore a cross and a crescent moon, raising the topic of astrological or pagan symbolism.

6. Archaeoastronomy and Advanced Prehistoric Civilizations (67:56–71:13)

• Mound Alignments and Solar Events:
  • Discovery that mounds, caves (with possible Viking runes), and burial sites around Springfield align with solstices, suggesting advanced archaeoastronomical knowledge among pre-Columbian cultures.
  • Artifacts and structures diverge from expected Native American designs, hinting at earlier or outside influences.

7. Spiritual Ramifications, Biblical Justifications, & The Flood (86:01–108:00)

• Re-examining Biblical Judgments:
  • Understanding why God commands total destruction of certain peoples—ties back to the corruption of bloodlines and hybridization.
  • Grace and Judgment: Hosts and guest reflect on God’s grief (Gen 6:6), suggesting total destruction was both just and merciful to prevent deeper spiritual decay:

    "His grace actually meets his judgment too, because the judgment was wiping it all out. But was that also grace?" (Nick J. Daigle, 102:18)

• Noah’s “Perfection”:
  • Argued that God spared Noah not for moral perfection, but for untainted genetics, protecting the human bloodline from further Nephilim infiltration.

8. Nephilim After the Flood & Modern Implications (92:54–103:09)

• Post-Flood Hybrids:
  • Genesis 6:4 ("and afterwards") implies repeated incursions or other supernatural events post-Deluge, possibly connected to modern ‘alien abductions’ and cryptid sightings.
• Spiritual Warfare & Demons:
  • Draws on the Book of Enoch:
    • Demons interpreted as disembodied spirits of pre-flood Nephilim (99:39).
• Hybridization & Inheritance:
  • Discussion on whether modern-day attempts (alien/demonic) to create human hybrids are attempts to reclaim some lost spiritual inheritance.
