50 States of Terror - American Cryptid Podcast

Did you know that the Philippines were once a US Territory? If you did you have a one up on Kailey in this episode. Inspired by our guest appearance with our friends at "Beer and a Movie". (Check them out! http://www.beerandamoviepodcast.com ) After talking about The Creature Of The Black Lagoon, Kailey goes on a mission to find the closest cryptid that resembles the famed Gillman.  Wher...

And a special thank you to our loyal Patreon Folks. Who keep the pod lights on. <3  We are so happy to see you all again! Support the show

This week's encounter features the man... the myth... the legend, Richard!  (aka Kailey's Dad!) Who happened to be visiting during this recording.

Under the sea? More like Under 10,000 lakes! Kailey leads the discussion of the history of mermaids and the sighting that inspired the episode this week. But spoiler alert....It wasn't the most voted upon Cryptid! Which means next week a Minnesota PART II is coming! Listeners voted and wanted to hear about the Minnesota Ice Man. So she hopes you aren't *too* disappointed and will enjoy t...

This week we are bringing you the Minne Mini! That is to say the Minnesota Minisode. Anthony opens the episode with a discussion of the watery grave that is the depths of the lakes. And one specific wreck he has always found fascinating. Kailey then presents the three Cryptids that MAY be next week's full length episode. But YOU get a chance to influence the content to come.

The First Minisode is officially on the books! We bring you a little bit of the states founding history with a dark twist (of course). Then we present to you three cryptids. And YOU get to influence the future episodes. We THINK we know which one you want to hear about, so we already recorded it. But are we right? Nobody will know until the voting officially closes the night before the episode com...

We couldn't pass up the opportunity to discuss the Bridgewater Triangle. There are just too many stories to discuss. Kailey leads the episode with an in depth look at the Triangle's bloody origins that are said to have created a darkness that has lasted the ages. From ghosts, to Cryptid sightings galore. There is something for everyone who is in to all things 'spooky' in this r...

Official announcement of our upcoming Minisodes. We have mentioned it and decided..... "WHY NOT?!"  But here is the catch, they are going to be interactive. So check out the details in this quick listen! You will have voting power in upcoming episodes. Quick text recap: Minisodes will include multiple cryptids/topics for upcoming episodes. One of them will be our next episode's full...

This episode's Cryptid Encounter was inspired by one of the host's favorite video game cameo, we are covering the Snallygaster! The word is a bastardization of the original German name for the "Fast Spirit".  It was also part of the inspiration of our logo so it is fitting we recorded this episode on our one year anniversary!  #snallygaster #maryland #eagle #reptile #tentacles...

Thank you for joining for another BONUS episode!  On the fringe of the internet when searching for information about Cryptids we keep running in to some specific and unique topics. But one kept grabbing our attention. The association and relatability of Cryptids and the LGBT+ community. And you may be thinking, "Um.... What?" Hear us out.    Anthony and Kailey present a joint introductio...

Maine is more than the scary stories Stephen King writes. There is a real legend up here, and it is based on a character that is terrifying enough on it's own without the paranormal twist.   Freesound - "coin fall on table.

Here at 50 States of Terror we believe that the only way to Break The Stigma of Mental Health is to encourage open discussion and engage others in conversation about it. We think you will enjoy this bonus episode that veers off of your normal content and hopefully brings some enlightenment to some shadowy conversations we try to skirt around. Kailey is joined by the amazing Dr. Anthony Zoccolillo,...

We aren't sure why they are still referred to as Goblins when they are CLEARLY Aliens. But this may very well be our longest regular programmed episode. We couldn't have given such a thorough episode without the AMAZING book by Isabel Davis.

We are exploring the landscape and history of Kansas! These Whopper Hoppers may have been a clear Hoax but that doesn't rain on our parade. During the drought and Dustbowl of the 1930's these creatures were the source of fascination and amusement in an otherwise Great Depression era.  Support the show
