Episode 50- Listener Stories 2 Mar 18, 2018

Show notes

Warning for unreality in our intro! If that causes you anxiety feel free to skip ahead a bit! We made it through 50 episodes! Wild! We've decided to celebrate with a special appearance from our secret third host: All of you! We took some more listener stories about personal experiences, local legends, and strange family happenings and assembled them into this episode! It's a very fun and creepy time! Stay tuned to the very end (after the outro music) for a special bit of bonus audio from one of the listener stories themselves! And it's from a previous guest, to boot!!! Thank you for 50 episodes, you're all total keepers!

Episode 49- The Ogopogo Mar 12, 2018

Show notes

We're looking for the Ogopogo! Join us, won't you? This week's episode is about an unsung (though previously sung about!) lake monster. Is it a sheep? Probably not! Is it an eel? Maybe! Is it cool and fun and funky and fresh, but also predates Nessie by YEARS? Yes! Let's head up North and find out just what's going on between a pollywog and a whale. NOTE: This episode contains some outdated and offensive language in one of our sources. This has been brought to our attention, and we both apologize and commit to avoiding this terminology and to choosing better sources in the future, as well as avoiding similarly outdated and offensive word choices. Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention, and please don't be afraid to correct us in the future if we mess up. Although, we hope that you won't have to because we plan to know better and do better. Stay safe out there.

Episode 48- Shadow People Mar 04, 2018

Show notes

Well, kids, we did it! We've officially been making this weird show for a year! Thank you for all of your support, now let's talk about something terrifying. Turn off all the lights, pull the covers up to your chin, and ignore the strange figure in your doorway, because this week's episode is all about Shadow People. Are they like Peter Pan? Yes and no. Yes, they're terrifying and mainly draw the attention of children, no they are not fun for the whole family. What kind of hats do they like? What do they want? Are they aliens, probably? Listen and find out.

Episode 47- J'ba Fofi Feb 18, 2018

Show notes

What walks on eight legs in the morning, eight legs in the evening, and is terrifying round the clock? This week's cryptid takes us all over the world, upsettingly enough, to wherever giant spiders can be found. Think you can handle it? Don't worry, neither can Addison. Join us as we discuss Way Too Big Bugs, the science of spider size, surprise tarantulas, and a terrifying new Amazon.com venture. Spider? I barely know her!

Episode 46- Noppera-Bo Feb 11, 2018

Show notes

Have you seen the classic Nicholas Cage film Face/Off? Well this episode is just like that, except that it's nothing like that at all. This week we travel back into the Very Spooky world of Yokai, and cover one that is particularly hard to read: the fascinatingly faceless Noppera-bo. Are badgers pranking humans? Can some people just set their face sliders to zero? Should we all learn to be more like the faceless ghosts? Listen, and find out. No need to put on a happy face, or any face at all really!

Episode 45- The Grootslang Feb 05, 2018

Show notes

It's time to talk about the elephant in the room. And the snake in the room. Actually, they're the same animal and also the room is a cave. This episode is about everyone's favorite Gem of a cryptid, a real Diamond in the Rough, the Grootslang. Part snake, part elephant, all terrifying. Where did it come from? What does it want? What does ABCD mean and why should you do it? Find out on this episode.

Episode 44- The Enfield Monster Jan 29, 2018

Show notes

NOT to be confused with The Enfield Poltergeist, that's a topic for a future episode! You know how sitcoms like to have clip episodes, full of nostalgia and random unexpected guest stars? This episode is kind of like that: unexpected Big Names come up, the plot is incomprehensible, and its star was big in the 80s. What is the Enfield Monster? What does it want? Why does Alex hate it so much? What does it have to do with Ashton Kutcher? Listen, and find out. Let's get weird!

Episode 43- Féar Gortach (Hungry Grass) Jan 21, 2018

Show notes

We're heading back to the beautiful green grassy fields of Ireland once more, but please do exercise caution when crossing those fields! You never know when a shortcut might cut your life short. This week we discuss the Hungry Grass, a phenomenon much less whimsical than its name would imply. Join us as we discuss Irish history, spirits of tragedy, cultural memory, and how ghosts can help us make 2018 a better year.

Episode 42- The Owlman Jan 14, 2018

Show notes

These aren't your Hogwarts owls! The only thing they're delivering is TERROR. Follow us to chilly England and chillier Chicago as we cover The Owlman- or is it Owl MEN? Join us as we discuss demons, ley lines, aliens, GAVIN, Mothman, and more as we try to answer the age-old question: What even ARE owls, really? Also, thanks to the results of a Patreon poll ending in a tie, stay tuned for a bonus cryptid: The Beavershark of the Southern USA! It's a wild ride, folks! Come along with us!

Episode 41- The Encantado Jan 10, 2018

Show notes

Now, imagine the Jaws theme song, but remixed so it has a SICK bass drop. That's essentially this week's cryptid. ONE SHOT's James D'amato joins us to talk about the Encantado. I don't know how else to say this, folks...it's a were-dolphin. This episode takes us into warm waters and low lighting as we get into a creature that's a little bit sexy, and a WHOLE LOT of trouble. The image we are all screaming about in this episode can be found here: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-73OcA0bLvCk/T86SnhTmztI/AAAAAAAACME/SRrxPxsJ50k/s1600/Encantado%252C%2BTim%2BMorris.jpg
