It was first spotted during the eruption of Mount St. Helen's volcano, and since has been seen a few times after. Reports vary between it causing electrical failure and flying alongside of planes.

Bob's back from Magfest! So, we want to talk about a spooky video game story. Instead of a creepypasta, why don't we look at at a story that may actual be true. An Easter Egg in the background of Loki and The Simpsons, it's an arcade cabinet. The story dates back to the 1970s with kids getting sick while playing games, and men in black collecting data instead of quarters. It even leads back to MK...

We gave Count Panek a chance to pick an episode, and he chose a cryptid we never discussed before. This week we travel to Scotland to a big body of water named Loch Ness.

Despite sceptics believing that it doesn't exist, there are so...

Ever watch Supernatural? If so perhaps you're familiar with the invisible dogs that would come and collect your soul upon selling it.

Remember the movie The Witches? There was a scene in that movie where the witches cursed a little girl to live in a painting for the rest of her life. She grew old, and moved positions in the painting until she disappeared completely. Well, despite Bob referring to Young Sherlock Holmes the week, this episode isn't about movies. No, in fact we are talking about haunted and cursed paintings. Figure...

This is the most ridiculous concept to an episode we researched of all time. Easily. The first part of the lore comes to us from Bantu Folklore, and that is the Devouring Gourd. You read that right.

It is a gourd that grew to immense proportions, and ate people until it came into combat with an arrow wielding child....

Camels are strange animals. They have large humps, spit, and live in a constant state of heat. Now, what do you think about when you think of where camels may live?

Once upon a time ago, the United States Military had what...

Did you know its Count Panek's birthday?! In celebration, we wanted to look at a vampire story. Now, there is vampire myths all across the world in some capacity. So, how do we narrow it down? Well, we picked the story of Abhartach out of Ireland. He was not only a vampire, but a warlock. He also ruled the land with an iron fist.

A strange request we get often to do subjects on are haunted transportation objects. Haunted cars, trains, and yes...even ships. How can a vehicle be haunted?

Imagine you're out on the water doing some fishing. W...
