The Hodag Aug 06, 2024

Show notes

In the late 19th century, in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, the hodag—a monster that sprung up in the tall tales of local logging camps— made its national debut when one was supposedly captured alive and put on display at a county fair. We are very sorry we missed it.

The Connecticut Witch Jul 23, 2024

Show notes

In Southwestern Connecticut, in a little village tucked into Monroe, there’s a legend of a local witch named Hannah Cranna—a woman who killed her husband and got away with it. But that’s just the start of trouble caused by an elderly woman who ran circles around her neighbors.

The Sightings Jul 09, 2024

Show notes

Back in 1966, dozens of UFO sightings swept the Ann Arbor, Michigan area—and then crept through the Midwest, into New England, and beyond. And the scores of people who reported sightings—including an entire college dormitory—weren’t ready to accept the official explanation for what they experienced.

The Skunk Ape Jun 25, 2024

Show notes

Coming to you deep from Florida’s swamps and, well, wherever else it wants to be, is the Sunshine State’s favorite cryptid, the skunk ape: an extra smelly bigfoot who grew popular in the 1970s but, perhaps, has been around a lot longer than that.

The Chupacabra Jun 11, 2024

Show notes

A relative newcomer to the cryptid fold, the chupacabra made its worldwide debut in 1995, when mysterious livestock attacks were reported across Puerto Rico—and a strange creature was accused of draining blood and sowing mayhem wherever it appeared.

Show notes

Laurah’s traveling all month — so while we cook up some strange new offerings for you, please enjoy this episode from our archives.

West Virginia isn’t the only region to boast its very own Mothman; since the mid-20 century, Chicago and the Lake Michigan area has had reports of flying humanoids, and those sightings have only picked up since 2011. Why have sightings of the Chicago or Lake Michigan Mothman increased, and what’s behind the mysterious wings in the sky?

The Nightcrawlers Apr 16, 2024

Show notes

Back in 2007, the world was thrilled to discover there was a new cryptid—or alien—or something—on the scene: The Fresno Nightcrawler. And even better, it was absolutely adorable (as long as you have a fondness for walking pants). But what evidence exists for this mysterious new creature?
