The Cryptid Keeper

Latest Episodes:

Episode 20- The West Virginia Yahoo (sort of) Jul 23, 2017

Show notes

So a large portion of this episode's audio was eaten by some podcast gremlins/a malfunctioning computer. We still wanted to put out an episode, so here is this child size extra-small episode. Thanks for your patience. No, the West Virginia Yahoo isn't a specialized search engine or just a weird guy from West Virginia. It's Bigfoot's weird cousin! We talk sightings, naked weirdos, West Virginia folklore, and more. Hope we can keep you around.

Episode 19- The Wampus Cat Jul 16, 2017

Show notes

The episode that used to be here has been taken down. Since this original episode was recorded, we’ve learned that it was disrespectful, hurtful, and appropriative of Native cultures. We wanted to take the episode down so it would not be able to hurt anyone else, and we wanted to leave a placeholder up, for an explanation and for accountability. We can’t erase the harm that was caused by our ignorance, but we can and will do whatever we can to prevent doing more harm going forward. Thank you.

Episode 18- The New Jersey Gator Man Jul 09, 2017

Show notes

Remember that reality show, The Jersey Shore? This episode is kind of like that, only with a lot more lizard men, razor-sharp teeth, and general horror. Oh, and a lot less vodka and hot tubs. Join us as we cover the New Jersey Gator Man (which is, by the way, one of MANY Gator Men throughout the country, if you can believe it). Things get a little bit wild on this episode, though hopefully no wilder than the Gator Man himself. Additional topics include: Jurassic Park (nature finds a way), Cryptid Pets, and Is this Scientology?

Episode 17-Black Eyed Children Jul 02, 2017

Show notes

What's that knock at the window of your car? It's a strange child with pitch-black eyes, come to punish us for taking a week off and coming back oh so rusty. Please don't let him in, we're back, and isn't that something at least? This week we cover the Creepypasta favorite, the widely-reported and deeply feared Black Eyed Children? Where did they come from, where do they go, where did they come from, Black Eyed Joe? Join us for boy bands, vampire alien babies, and a discussion that takes us to some genuinely dark places. Knock knock! It's us at the door. Let us in for some Podcast fun.

Episode 16 - Hellhounds Jun 18, 2017

Show notes

Bark twice if you're ready for a brand new episode. It happened, folks. The tragic twist of fate we always feared would come. Alex pet a supernatural dog, and now Addison must take on the podcast solo. Just kidding, she's still here, but it's only a matter of time, right? This week we cover hellhounds, those snarling, red-eyed, fluffy (?) guardians of the underworld and terrorizers of Florida teens, and some of their various international incarnations. I'll say this as many times as I must: DO NOT PET THESE DOGS

Episode 15- Spring - Heeled Jack Jun 11, 2017

Show notes

Here he comes, bounding over the horizon, leaping tall buildings, knocking at your door...? It's this week's dapper cryptid, Spring-Heel Jack. London's Next Top Cryptid. Between this fellow and The Ripper, if there's one thing that we've learned in this episode it is to never trust a Londoner named Jack. No offense to non-cryptid Jacks out there. What are our Posh Alter-Egos? Just how dangerous is Jack and how silly is he? What does Paul McCartney have to do with it? Take a leap with us.

Episode 14- The Kraken Jun 04, 2017

Show notes

Where did all the fish go? What's that weird smell? What's that, rising beneath the surface of the ocean with so very many arms? SO many arms. It's this week's cryptid, the scourge of pirates and Addison alike: The Kraken. It's not just a brand of rum, kids. It's also a horrifying ocean beast that is entirely too big to be allowed. Come with us as we sail out to the strange, deep waters of this creature's folklore appearances, hugging habits, just how big it is (did we mention how BIG IT IS?), and more.

Episode 13- El Chupacabra May 28, 2017

Show notes

Hide your goats, hide your chickens, hide your kids, heck, hide yourself! El Chupacabra just rolled into town, and this bloodsucking dog/lizard/alien maybe? is a real creepy classic. Friend of the show and special guest Lauren Milici joins us to discuss this classic cryptid's residency issues, origin story, television career, and more! Lauren even shares some family history with El Chupacabra itself! How is it like Jennifer Lopez? Listen and find out. Just make sure to wear a scarf. You know, just in case.

Episode 12- Snallygaster May 21, 2017

Show notes

What's that in the sky? How many eyes does it have? Are those tentacles? Better take shelter, because it's this week's cryptid: the Snallygaster. Don't be fooled by the silly name. Follow us to the U.S. capitol as we discuss the monster that wreaked more havoc on the citizens of Washington D.C. than an election year. What's up with its face tentacles? Which U.S. president wanted to hunt it? We've got all the answers to these questions, and some you probably would never dare to ask. Is it a one eyed one horned flying purple people eater? Let's find out.

Episode 11- The Mantis Man May 14, 2017

Show notes

We're back after our forced one-week hiatus with another organic, fresh, locally-sourced episode! Jam-packed with vitamins and minerals. Or at least fun information as we cover this week's surprisingly gentle cryptid: the Mantis Man. For once, come into the forest with us, let's take a leisurely stroll by the riverbank and talk about aliens, cloaking devices, insect-human relations, and much much more. If it sounds like we're recording from deep within a spooky well? We are. Please send help.
