John had a twenty-minute conversation this week with the Loch Ness Monster and decided to finish up an episode five years in the making. Also, Brandon starts talking about Loch Nussey, which, of course, was a whole thing.   So yeah, the explicit tag is load-bearing this episode.   Merch: https://www.etsy.com/shop/cryptopediamerch Discord: https://discord.gg/AWpen8aYQG Patreon: https://www.patreon....

In Liue of an episode description (it's literally about flying manta rays), here's the original name of this file Brandon posted to our internal repository of episodes (unedited): "E204 EVERY MORNING THERE A HALO HANING FORM THE CORNER OF_ GET IT_ITS SUGAR RAY AND THE TOPIC WAS RAYS 06282026.mp3" Merch: https://www.etsy.com/shop/cryptopediamerch Discord: https://discord.gg/AWpen8aYQG Patreon: http...

After our Mother's Day break, we're back. And future John writing this now realizes how morbid the timing of this episode is! This week, we cover an infamous Poltergeist case overshadowed by a particularly depressing true-crime story.

Somehow, we've been doing this for eight years and 200 episodes. This week, we talk about that one "true" story from the third Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark book.

On the cusp of episode 200, John decides to clear some of his backlog and finally cover a cryptid he's been trying to write about for years. Turns out it wouldn't be that easy.

This week, Brandon takes the reins again, as John comes down off some kind of persistent cough. We almost talked about the cryptid, but someone needs to let everyone know that Damon Albarn of Gorillaz fame is also the singer for Blur.

We're late this week because someone's gonna be able to go into someone else's hospital room. Brandon verifies his hypothesis in the most ill-advised manner possible.

We're back after a bit of a hiatus!

For the (probably) last episode of the year, we figured we would go out on a sort of depressing one. We talk about the time that the US government personally destroyed a person's mental health, as opposed to in a broader societal term.   Merch: https://www.etsy.com/shop/cryptopediamerch Discord: https://discord.gg/AWpen8aYQG Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14015340 YouTube (Videos have [qu...

This week, things get flipped around because this episode was supposed to come out last time. Is it the result of a demon's curse, or is it just Windows 11 being Windows 11? Listen and find out as we talk about what some call the "most credible" haunting of recent memory.
