Show notes

Sorry for the delay on this one, but we're back this week with a Beast of an episode! Follow us to old-timey France as we discuss a mysterious creature that tormented the French countryside, got the attention of the King, and found its way into werewolf lore and our hearts.

Episode 114- Organism 46b Sep 29, 2019

Show notes

On this week's episode we dive deep into the lore of our childhood cartoons for about 15 straight minutes, but THEN! Then, we dive deep under the ice to a mysterious subglacial lake, where danger lurks around every ice shelf. Join us as we discuss Organism 46B! Its name may sound boring and clinical, but it is anything but! This thing's got legs for days and SOMEWHAT devious intentions.

Episode 113- The Huldra Sep 15, 2019

Show notes

On this podcast, we're brave enough to stand up and say: I love my terrifyingly strong forest wife! Welcome back to The Cryptid Keeper, where this week we're covering a fascinating lady from Scandinavian folklore: The Huldra. Join us as we discuss the importance of manners when dealing with supernatural creatures, ladies with tails, and super-strong women of the woods. If she bends steel with her bare hands, then folks? She's a keeper.

Episode 112- The Ozark Howler Sep 01, 2019

Show notes

Howl are you? This week's cryptid takes us deep into the Ozarks, where it's known to cause quite a ruckus. We're talking all about the Ozark Howler, an elusive creature with a terrifying cry and some complicated lore! Join us as we discuss the various horrible sounds of nature, truth and lies in the Ozarks, and very fluffy cows. AWOOOOO!

Episode 111- The Nure-Onna (Drenched Woman) Aug 19, 2019

Show notes

Let's take a lovely stroll along the beach, and not talk to any strange women holding mysterious bundles of cloth! If you do, you might just run into the Nure-Onna, the subject of this week's episode! Part human, part snake, all icon, this watery creature is positively dripping with intrigue. Join us as we discuss snake women, oceanside etiquette, and a few bonus creatures that make up the Nure Onna's super dangerous Girl Squad.

Episode 110- Mummies Aug 12, 2019

Show notes

There's nothing more summery than a preserved corpse that may or may not have magical properties or a deep-seated hunger for vengeance, so this week is all about Mummies! We're looking particularly at mummies from a mythology/folklore perspective, as it's difficult to debate the existence of mummies in the literal sense. This episode gets thoughtful, gross, and a little...sexy?

Patreon Minisode- The Tizzie-Whizie Jul 29, 2019

Show notes

Since both of our hosts are a bit out of commission this week, we decided to part the curtain and give you a peek at some of our past Patreon bonus content! This is a Patreon minisode recorded way back in January of this year about the Tizzie-Whizie! Part hedgehog, part bee, all adorable and perfect and valid. Listen as we discuss this lil cutie, as well as a deep dive into Sonic the Hedgehog Lore, common bug misconceptions, and various lakeside legends, all while delving into DEFINITELY inaccurate English accents. Grab a tea and a ginger biscuit and join us.

Episode 109- LIVE in CHICAGO!!! Jul 22, 2019

Show notes

Since we're both on opposite coasts, your Cryptid Keeper hosts decided to meet in the middle and do a live show in Chicago!!!

From the Chicago "Mothman", to a mini haunted tour of various creepy sites in the city, to a collection of Listener Stories, we've got a ton of fun for you! Thanks again to everyone who made it out to the show, hopefully this will be the first of many!

Episode 108- Haunted Dolls Jul 14, 2019

Show notes

Come play with us, listeners! For ever, and ever, and ever... Open up your antique toy chest or head up into that dusty old attic, because this week we're talking about haunted dolls! From Hollywood's Annabelle and Robert the Doll to some lesser-known hidden gems, there is no shortage of creepy little porcelain (or plastic, or wooden, etc) friends out there! Join us as we discuss a wide variety of dolls, sightings, and some information on finding a haunted doll to call your very own!
