Cropsey - Urban Legend Origins Nov 01, 2019

Show notes

Have you ever had an experience with 'the Boogeyman'? Well come meet Staten Island's very own waking (& very real) nightmare and boogeyman. The Cropsey stories are ones that we all heard growing up, from the child snatcher to the beast lurking in the forest to eat us, this legend has about everything. But the true nightmare is just lurking in the shadows and has more to do with what we don't want to talk about, rather than a monster hiding in the closet.

Tune in now and learn the secrets of the Boogey Man & other things that wait to go bump in the night!
