American Unicorns

The Beast of Gévaudan

This episode has a little bit of everything: history, throat ripping and a wolf/dog/werewolf. It's basically the cryptid trifecta! We hope you enjoy this quick trip to France on Chapter 18 as we examine the bloody spree of The Beast of Gevaudan. Poorly pronounced French words are on the house...

Translation from image: This Beast is about the size of a young fawn, it attacks women and the children, it drinks their blood, cuts their head and takes it away. It is promised 2700 Livre to kill this animal.

The Pope Lick Monster

Ice cream, lollypops, popsicles; all appropriate things to lick! The Pope, not so much… Ok the Pope Lick Monster doesn’t actually lick the Pope but don’t pretend it isn’t the first thing you thought of! The Pope Lick Monster is a half-man, half-goat/sheep creature that haunts the railroad trestle lofted over Pope Lick Creek near Louisville, Kentucky. His special skills include luring people to their deaths and possibly being an escaped circus freak from Canada. Ready for more eh?

The Lagarfljót Worm (or Iceland Worm Monster) lives in Lake Lagarfljót, located in sunny Iceland. Don’t worry, this worm has enough humps for all of us and boy does he like to show them off! Especially to tourists and groups of small school children. We don't know what his face looks like but we assume it looks like a worm. We hope you enjoy this squirmy wormy on Chapter 16! #wormhumps #badparenting

The Flatwoods Monster

Deep in the woods of West Virginia lurks the mysterious Flatwoods Monster. Is it an undiscovered biological creature? A visitor from outer space? Or just a typical barn owl? We prefer to believe the witnesses who saw this elusive creature know what an owl looks like… Hear about out CWT (current working theory) on Chapter 15! #Wegiveahoot #OldOwlFace

Dobhar-chú

This week we head to the Land of Eire to hear about the magnificent Dobhar-chú. No I didn’t just sneeze, it is actually pronounced Do-War Coo. Silly Galic! This creature is half dog, half fish, and half otter and is a real badass. Don’t think about it too hard… #FatherofOtters

This is our second minisode on American Unicorns called Tell Me Something Weird. This is a segment where we invite guests on the show to tell us something weird they have encountered in their lives.

On this episode we welcome as our guest, the brilliant and hilarious Teresa Sheffield to tell us something weird. She reveals a "crime" from her past involving a holographic Charizard Pokémon Card (I mean we’ve all been there) and her first hand account of Snipe hunting. Come along with us as we keep it weird!

You can find out more about Teresa on her website: https://www.teresasheffieldcomedy.com/

Keep it weird people!

The Wampus Cat

Come with us to East Tennessee to learn about the most badass cat lady the Wampus Cat. Hold onto your rifles and poachers beware, she takes no shit, only names. If you happen to smell a foul order during your encounter it’s not the Wampus Cat, you probably just pooped your pants. #LadyCat #WAMPUS!

Gef The Talking Mongoose

So lets get real for a second and talk about the mongoose in the room, Gef. Gef is a mystical talking mongoose and boy does he have a lot to say. Personally, I think we could all use a little bit of Gef in our lives and I would be proud to have this cryptid living in the walls of my house. #VANISHED!

The Loveland Frogman

So Ohio, lets talk about this whole Loveland Frogman thing… They love riding bicycles, lying in the middle of the road, and waving around their magic wands. I don’t know about you but I find this cryptid absolutely ribbiting. #PokemonGo
