Obsessed With The Palmers

This episode is special because it was requested by two really cool bois. And their topic of choice? Goblins. Thanks to both sleep and food deprivation, we bring a special goblin energy to the show. Also no cussing. Sort of. We tried.    Ignore the occasional background hum. We've gotta get some new headphones. 

This week Caitlin tells us about the Miraculous Staircase of Loretto Chapel. Did Christianity's most famous stepdad build it himself? Is it an unexplainable divine miracle? Can't say for sure but it is a really dope staircase. STOP TOUCHING THE HOLY RELIC WITH YOUR CHEETO FINGERS!

This episode we talk about the water nymphs from Greek mythos, the Nereids, 50 (to 100) daughters of a water god that isn't Poseidon so he really doesn't matter. 

We have a mini obsession this week told hold us over while we recover. We'll have a full episode this weekend and be back on track for next Wednesday. This time we are talking about things we used to believe like ghost stories and boogeymen. Was there something you used to believe in as a kid that looking back you realize now is a bit silly? Let us know.

This episode, Caitlin tells us about the thrice damned Charles Island. A small plot of land of the New England coast that had the misfortune to be cursed on three separate occasions. Also there's ghosts. Pirate ghosts. 

This episode we talk about R̸̲̓̀͊͑̀̕o̶̱͚̭͔̲̜͖͈̹̿̏̍͑̄̌͒̒͘͝ͅk̴̨̤̩͉̲̳̲̻̻̄͆͜͠ǫ̵͔͔͐'̷̞̮̮̳̊̈̚ŝ̴̰̣̻̪̙̩͐͘̚͠ ̴̹͉̠͖̈̈͆͐B̶̧͚̮͚̬̜̭͎̼͌̎̓̏̊͂́́͜͝͝â̵̧̭̱͌̊͌́̐̏̕ṣ̶̛̱͕̰͍̠̙̃̉͋̿̓̐i̵͈͍̪͎̻̅͋͗́̉͘l̴̙͇͐̄i̶̡̦̼͉͑s̴̢̡͕̩͓͈̤̝͕͙̆͋̒̒̍͗̀͗͝k̴̡̯̠̻̰͚̮̉͌̇̌̀͘ and why we probably shouldn't be talking about it.

"Big news!", says your YouTube and Yahoo! news feed, "Dire wolves are back!" And who would we be not to pander to the all mighty algorithm? The algorithm hungers. It must be fed. 

This episode we talk about the dreaded Snallygaster. A creature so horrible and terrifying, no single concrete description of it exists. Definitely not because no one has ever actually seen one. I love this cryptid. That is all.

This episode Caitlin tells us about two "Mans". The Winsted Wildman and Old Leatherman. Both hail from the state of Connecticut and there's unfortunately little to say about either one so we get a double feature this week. Hopefully I didn't miss any sniffles while editing. 

This is just a mini episode, we will have a full episode tomorrow. This episode we talk about our trip to Connecticut and Salem, all the cool rocks we saw, and some really old cemeteries. We talk about the Salem witch trials a bit and also about trespassing on private property. 

This episode we talk about a cryptid I only recently discovered thanks to a new friend on Bluesky, The Red Ghost of Arizona. Turns out this one was real, gang. We got one. Cryptozoology can finally have another "W".    The ending theme today is "Wow Wow" and belongs to Neil Cicierega. Please don't copyright strike me, bro. I did it for the meme.  Go listen to his album, Mouth Moods now. 

This episode Caitlin tells us about the Australian cryptid, the Queensland Tiger. Is it just a thylacine despite being about 250 lbs too small and looking almost completely different? My wife certainly thinks so!  [This space reserved for shitty Australian accents and Crocodile Dundee jokes about knife sizes]

This episode we discuss the little know cryptid, the Van Meter Visitor. If you thought pterodactyls weren't cool before, take another look, this time at one with a laser beam attached to its friggin head. If you thought pterodactyl was misspelled, take another look at a dictionary. I don't make the rules. I hope this episode doesn't upset anyone from Iowa considered the fact I just learned about i...

In this very special episode we stay at the allegedly haunted Abita Springs Hotel courtesy of the owner and local pillar of the community, John Preble. We take audio recordings, operate a spirit talking board, and eat leftover pizza all in the pursuit of confirming whether or not this location is in fact haunted. We are joined by our long time friend, Caroline, who agreed to help operate the spiri...

We are still editing ALL the audio from our special episode we recorded on the Abita Springs Hotel but we still wanted to give you SOMETHING this week. So here's us playing a game of 20 questions and laughing about a few old things that happened once. The special episode will be up next Wednesday regular time, sorry about the delay but its a lot of audio to sift through.

This episode Caitlin tells us about a few prominent figures in Voodoo belief: Bawon Sanmdi, Papa Legba, and Maman Brigitte. Turns out they are all really chill and I wish they were my friends. Please don't tell Baron Cimitière. I don't want him to get jealous and stab me a whole bunch. This episode already got Disney's lawyers mad at us. We've got enough on our plates.

This episode we talk about our favorite 3 legged cryptid. Or probably the only 3 legged cryptid. A creature so peculiar and distinct that literally no one is talking about it, but it wasn't always that way. Find out what kind of creature gripped a whole town and had its citizens jumping at shadows. Abominable swamp sluts, need not inquire further. 

This episode Caitlin tells us about various lake monsters, such as Ogopogo, Rocky, Champ, and the Lake Ripley Monster. Bring some sage and tobacco unless you have a least favorite nephew to spare and jump on in. Certainly nothing bad has ever happened in a lake before.

This is our first Mini Obsession! A (supposedly) shorter form content where we talk about more current things that pertain to our particular weird. This one ran a little long and came closer to a full episode runtime than originally intended but we don't know when to shut up. This time we are talking about the strange lights that have appeared in the New Jersey nighttime sky. Are they aliens? Is i...

This is just saying we aren't going to be posting a new episode this Wednesday because I had to have surgery, but we will release a mini episode this weekend and then a full episode as normal the following week. 

Find out about one of the most terrifying mythological creatures, imagined by only the darkest minds. A creature with 3 sets of teeth, a terrible tail, and a gigantic ass. Tales tell that he once ate a whole guy, turns out that guy was you. Listen to the tale of the manticore. I wonder if anyone ever wrote a song about the manticore?   Enjoy this once lost episode. We got it just for you, for Chri...

This is an old episode we found in the attic, dusted off, and brought downstairs just for you. The wailing howls of "He who lurks amongst the rafters" could not stop us from bringing you this seasonal episode where we talk about Krampus, The Yule Lads+Cat, and The Mari Lwyd. Happy holidays, for whatever it is you celebrate during the winter solstice, and as a gift we have found for you an episode...

This week we take you on a journey to a magical place. The swampy ass of southern Louisiana. We took a tour of the Abita Mystery House and now you can too, come with us and learn the dark and arcane secrets the mystery house holds under lock and key. Inside you'll find creatures you've only ever dreamed of and oddities that call back for you by name, but there's only one way out and its the same w...

This week Caitlin tells us about the Beast of Gévaudan, a french dog monster that terrorized the countryside and ate a whole lot of peasants. Arm yourself with silver bullets and plenty of cows if you plan on hunting this fella, and dressing up like a pretty girl wouldn't hurt it just might not help either.

This episode we talk about Cthulu as per request. So come find out all about (mainly Lovecraft himself) but also an indescribable creature whose presence within your mind threatens to gnaw at the very fabric of your frayed sanity and leave in its place the echoing howls of infinit-- Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.
