Episodes

Thunderbirds - The Winged Spirit (Ep. 32) 04.07.2025

In this week's episode, we'll be talking about the massive winged creature known as the Thunderbird.  From Native American lore, this creature ruled the skies and the upper world as a God in animal form.  In cryptozoology, the Thunderbird could be a remnant of the Teratorns, which have been extinct for over 10,000 years.  Whatever it is, it has made several appearances throughout the US...

Ouija Board - Zozo's Playground (Ep. 31) 20.06.2025

In this week's episode, we'll be talking about a spirit board, or talking board, known to most as the Ouija Board.  This "game" was designed to communicate with the dead, but it has proven time and time again that it's really just evil entities playing with you.  The concept of the board is simple, but what you conjure up may be way more than you anticipated.  Be very care...

Pukwudgie - The Mischievous Goblin (Ep. 30) 06.06.2025

In this week's episode, we'll be talking about the Pukwudgie of the Wampanoag lore.  You might mistake him as a friendly porcupine, but you'd soon learn that it isn't just the quills that you would have to deal with.  This little humanoid used to be a prankster, but now he just wants to see you end up dead.  Whether it's by poison arrow, spear, knife or luring you to a cli...

Black Eyed Children - If Eyes Could Kill (Ep. 29) 23.05.2025

In this week's episode, we'll be talking about the Black Eyed Children (Black Eyed Kids).  These creepy kids have a knack for showing up when you least expect them, then they ask for some type of assistance, be it using a phone or getting a ride.  They need your permission to enter your home or vehicle (much like the lore of Vampires).  But make no mistake, if you allow them entry, there...

Melon Heads - The Backwoods Bobbleheads (Ep. 28) 09.05.2025

In this week's episode, we'll be talking about the Melon Heads of Connecticut, Michigan and Ohio.  These grotesque, mutant, feral, cannibalistic people are said to live in the forests, mountains and caverns in remote areas of the states. Sometimes they emerge to attack unsuspecting people.  You may be kidnapped to be eaten or to potentially provide their community with offspring.  Could...

The Three Legged Woman - My Rotting Appendage (Ep. 27) 25.04.2025

In this week's episode, we'll be talking about the Three Legged Woman of Nash Road in Mississippi.  Stories will vary, but this ghostly entity has sewn another leg onto her hip.  Was it the leg of her lover, her husband or her daughter?  We may never know the whole story, but if you drive out to Nash Road and summon her, she just may appear and you can ask her for yourself.  That is, if...

The Bunnyman - Hoppin' Down the Bloody Trail (Ep. 26) 11.04.2025

In this week's episode, we'll be talking about the Urban Legend of the Bunnyman.  He haunts the Colchester Overpass in Fairfax County, Virginia.  He just may lure you onto the railroad tracks or attack you with his axe, either way, the outcome is not a good one.  You may suffer the same fate as the children who were gutted and hanged from the bridge.  This is no Easter Bunny!! If you hav...

Alabama White Thang - Ain't no Bigfoot (Ep. 25) 28.03.2025

In this week's episode, we'll be talking about the Alabama White Thang, often referred to as a white or albino Bigfoot.  We don't believe it is a Bigfoot, as it has been described differently by most that have seen it.  Sometimes described as having the head of a bear, a wolf, a lion or feline, or a combination of one or more.  It has also been seen running on all fours.  The Thang...

Leprechauns - The Irish Cobbler (Ep. 24) 14.03.2025

In this week's episode, and in honor of Saint Patrick's Day, we'll be talking about the Leprechauns of Ireland.  Their history goes way back, but did you know that 236 Leprechauns still exist and are living in a community in Ireland?  Listen in as we discuss their origin and their current location.  Catching one could be a blessing or a nightmare. You be the judge. If you have any c...

The Beast of Bray Road - Demon from the Mist (Ep. 23) 28.02.2025

In this week's episode, we'll be talking about one of the most famous of werewolf like cryptids, the Beast of Bray Road.  A resident of the corn fields of Elkhorn, Wisconsin, he has made his presence known to many, especially in the area of Bray Road.  He does get around though, as sightings are abundant in the surrounding counties.  Is he man, is he wolf, is he a demonic spirit that has...

Mothman - The Doomsday Creature (Ep. 22) 14.02.2025

In this week's episode, we'll be talking about the Mothman of West Virginia, though he has been seen globally.  It would appear that his presence is a precursor to something tragic.  Does he cause the disasters or is he simply here to warn us of impending doom?  If you have any comments, questions or stories you would like to share, or if you'd like to be on the show, email us at cr...

Honey Island Swamp Monster - The Reptilian Squatch (Ep. 21) 31.01.2025

In this week's episode, we'll be talking about the Honey Island Swamp Monster of Louisiana.  Is he part chimpanzee and alligator as one of the lores states, is he a mutant Sasquatch or is he something more sinister.  Join us in the murky, stagnant waters of the swamp as we discuss the evidence that suggests he is really out there. If you have any comments, questions or stories you would...

Pope Lick Monster - Trouble at the Trestle (Ep. 20) 17.01.2025

In this week's episode, we'll be talking about the Pope Lick Monster, a half-man, half-goat creature with a nasty temperament.  He lives somewhere under the Norfolk Southern Railroad trestle over the Pope Lick Creek in Louisville, KY.  He is said to lure his victims onto the trestle where they meet their untimely death.  Would you rather be hit by the train, jump from the trestle to your...

Krampus - Satan's Santa (Ep. 18) 20.12.2024

In this week's episode, we'll be talking about the half-demon, half-goat creature that parades the streets with Santa Claus, looking for bad little children.  If he finds them, he will use his birch branches to punish them according to their bad deeds.  Better not have been too bad, or it's off to Hell you go, in a wicker basket or sack.  If you hear chains and bells, it may be too...

Dogman - Satan’s Lap Dog (Ep. 17) 06.12.2024

Nessie - Monster of the Loch (Ep. 14) 25.10.2024

In this week's episode, we'll be talking about Nessie, the Loch Ness monster.  She has several friends or family members hanging out in other lakes around the world.  Are they dinosaurs from years ago, a new species yet to be discovered, or just a misidentified object.  We believe they are real.  What's your take? If you have any comments, questions or stories you would like to shar...

Fresno Nightcrawler - The Paranormal Pants (Ep. 13) 11.10.2024
