34 - Merry Cryptid Christmas (and other holidays!)
It's one of our favorite times of the year- the holidays! We wish you all a very happy holiday season, whatever you may celebrate, and hope that everyone finds some joy to brighten this pandemic filled year. We are pulling on our boots and getting ready to kick 2020 out the door, and what better way to do that than with some holiday cryptids?
Join us this week as we begin our celebrations with our two favorites- the child hungry giantess, Gryla and the 13 Yule Lads (bonus mention to the Yule Cat) in Iceland, and the rap battling zombie horse, Mari Lwyd, in Wales. Happy Holidays, everyone! We'll see you back next week for another fun episode!
Wait to Panic is a weekly podcast where two longtime friends take turns sharing stories that just might make your skin crawl. If you like what you hear and want more, give us some love and come back each Sunday for our newest episode! Have a story of your own that you want us to share? What about a bad pun? We'd love to share them with everyone! Email it to us at [email protected] and we'll read them during our episodes!
*Fun note: Gryla was going to be featured on the cover too, but...just too scary Gryla. Too scary.
