The Whintosser

On Chapter 24 we investigate one of the strangest creatures I have ever heard of. The Whintosser is a fearsome triangular log with more legs than necessary. While no one who has encountered one has lived to tell the tale, we know they are there hiding out there in the burned out forests of California…waiting…

The Blue Men of the Minch

Listeners they are ripped, they are wet and they are blue, so let’s give it up for the Blue Men of the Minch! On Chapter 23, we discuss the finer points of capsizing vessels and getting into epic rap battles with skippers. I’m just saying they can patrol my waters anytime…

Skunk Ape

This week on Chapter 22, we journey to the state that raised Laura and made her the woman she is today, Florida. Come explore the history and lore of the Skunk Ape, a creature so elusive, Laura had never heard of it… but it knew of her…

Giant Anaconda

On Chapter 21 we travel to the wild and wet Rainforest in search of the elusive Giant Anaconda. This cryptid is arguably the sneakiest of snakes, lurking in the murky waters of the Amazon River waiting to rip your face off. Well, at least that’s what we assume….

Bernard Heuvelmans

For a very special 20th episode we shake things up and Laura leads the research into everyone’s favorite Belgian-French scientist Papa Crypto himself, Bernard Heuvelmans. We talk the origins of the field and some of his most important discoveries. There are also lamas but not the kind you are thinking of…

Champy

“No time for losers 'cause we are the Champy-ions, of cryptid podcasts!” That’s right! On Chapter 19, we get a little wet as we go swimming for Champy, the lake monster of Lake Champlain. He can’t help it he’s shy and prefers the low spots of this popular recreational lake. Give the poor cryptozoological creature a break!

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
