The Cryptid Keeper

Latest Episodes:

Episode 68- The Dark Watchers Sep 09, 2018

Show notes

Someone's watching over you...provided you're walking past a specific stretch of mountain at a specific time of day. Are they ghosts? Shadow people? Weird mountain-dwelling voyeurs with great taste in hats? We're not sure! We know one thing though: they're the Dark Watchers and the subject of this week's episode.

Episode 67- The Capelobo Sep 02, 2018

Show notes

We're back! Recording from two opposite coasts, we're back in your ears again with a Very Troubling Lad. This episode comes with a content warning for body horror because we're dealing with The Beast of Bray Road's soap opera-esque Evil Counterpart: the Capelobo. Expect the unexpected, because this creature puts the "oh god WHY" in anteater.

Episode 66- Doppelgangers Aug 14, 2018

Show notes

This week's subject is looking awfully familiar...maybe TOO familiar. We're traveling to Germany and beyond, from the man in the mirror to a stranger in a crowd, we're covering Doppelgangers! In which "twinsies" takes on a much sinister meaning. It's our last episode recording in the same place (for now) and we hope you have as much fun as we did.

Episode 65- The Rougarou Aug 05, 2018

Show notes

Alex is back this week and we're feeling a little hungry...a little TOO hungry...for Knowledge. If you're feeling a little peckish too, let's sate our unnatural hankerings together and learn about this week's frightening creature. Not quite a werewolf, not quite a wendigo, but it's definitely cause for conversation. So let's take a trip over to the beautiful French countryside and watch out for wolves trying to fight you: this week we're discussing the Rougarou. Audio editing by Val Petrone

Episode 64- The Hopkinsville Goblins Jul 23, 2018

Show notes

They're in the sky, they're on your roof, in your windows, doing backflips and just totally OWNING you in front of your whole family: It's the Hopkinsville Goblins! Guest Host Andrew (A Horror Borealis, our theme music) joins us again in Alex's absence as we cover what may be the Original Little Green Men. They're out of this world!

Bonus Episode- The Menehune Jul 18, 2018

Show notes

To make up for our absence last week, we're here with a bonus episode featuring Andrew Giotta, from A Horror Borealis and also The Writer of Our Theme Music! Andrew is filling in for Alex as a guest host while she is off making sweet jazz music, and we're here with some music and fun times of our own! Join us as we bring some really chaotic energy to the suffering booth, where Addison drags jokes on for too long and Andrew teaches us about his former hometown cryptid: The Menehune!

Episode 63- The Hoop Snake Jul 10, 2018

Show notes

Have you ever thought to yourself: What if Sonic the Hedgehog was a terrifying bee/snake hybrid instead? No? Well, get ready to think about it. This is one hoop you probably won't see at any music festivals (if you're lucky). We're taking a trip all over on this week's episode, from The USA to Canada to the Australian Outback as we discuss the exactly-what-it-sounds-like Hoop Snake. Snake me to church!

Episode 62- The Mokele Mbembe Jul 01, 2018

Show notes

This episode is about something much bigger than the two of us, and we mean that literally. We cover the possibility of a living, modern-day dinosaur, as well as the creature's strange level of popularity. This smooth operator has been the subject of much debate, expeditions, and even religious fervor. Join us as we discuss dinosaur fever, crocodile feet, the existential dread of being forced to reckon with things beyond humanity. We have fun here!

Episode 61- The Jackalope Jun 25, 2018

Show notes

Bounding into the studio from the faraway plains of Wyoming is this week's truly iconic cryptid! Some call them a hoax, some call them a Disney star, we just call them...the Jackalope! Part jackrabbit, part antelope, ALL fun. A cryptid that you can have a drink with and take to karaoke, what more could we ask for? Join us as we discuss horned rabbits from around the globe, advancements in medical science, Watership Down, and the famous Jackalope itself!

Episode 60- The Flatwoods Monster Jun 17, 2018

Show notes

Here she IS, world! Stomping down that intergalactic catwalk, blowing everyone away with her incredible presence and potentially poison smoke, we're covering one of our personal favorites this week: The Flatwoods Monster/Flatwoods Alien/Braxie (ONLY to her friends). Join us as we declare our collective love of this Absolute Icon of West Virginia and discuss sightings, potential origins, Carol For Aliens, and more. #FreeBraxie #LetUsMarryBraxie
