The gals are together at last!! This episode (and a few others) were recorded on Bailey's birthday so Dani made the trip to spend it with her which means our host are actually in the same room. Indiana is the state for this week and Dani starts us off with the tale of the Beast of Busco, a giant turtle that a whole town hooked. Then Bailey gives us the, probably Bigfoot, Mill Race Monster that also terrorized a town for a period of time. 

We've got new cover art! Let us know what you think!

This episode is a little rushed as Dani is in the middle of unpacking, but we still are bringing you an episode and two new cryptids. Bailey takes to the tiny town of Enfield, and its Enfield Monster, where a maybe mutant, maybe kangaroo, harassed the village for a short while in 1973. Also in the 1970s, several people saw a young boy get scooped up by some giant birds, what was that about? Oh yeah that's the legend of the Lawndale Thunderbird.

Okay so the title is a little misleading. We aren't actually talking about true gremlins this episode, though both cryptids our host talk about are quite small. Dani starts us with the tragic origins of the water babies. Then Bailey tries to prove, for once, that her cryptids, the antagonistic Nimerigar.

Man, was this episode a trip? Fair warning there may be some odd cuts ahead, there were plenty of technical difficulties and cat difficulties thrown in. The setbacks didn't stop our host from bringing you some really cool creatures from the great state of Hawaii. Bailey asks the question, "Do you want to play mermaids?" with the story of the Mermaid of Kaiwi Point. Then Dani takes us back a bit in time to the probably, most definitely, real Menehune who built some really cool and long-standing structures on the islands.

Can you believe its already Episode 10? We can't. This week our host are staying in the south to visit one of the original colonies, Georgia! Dani takes us to prehistoric times with Altamaha-ha, that is probably just a dinosaur still alive today. Then Bailey turns legend into reality with the story of Emily Isabella Burt, Georgia's own werewolf.

We've got our toes in the water for this episode as we travel south to the land of "eternal sunshine" Florida. Bailey returns us to a favorite subject on this podcast, fearsome creatures, with the Snoligoster. And then Dani gives a lesson on Cherokee lore to explain why the Wampus Cat wanders.

We're back once again with a new episode, this time it's just the two of us. We travel to the second smallest state ripe full of Native Legends and spooky swamp creatures. Dani tries to explain Native politics with the tiny but fierce Pukwudgies. Then Bailey tells of the local legend himself, the Selbyville Swamp Monster.

Uh oh. There is something different about this episode. Is that a new voice we hear? That's right, due to some minor health issues we got to have a first guest on the show! Don't worry both of our usual hosts are on, but our guest got to share her own Connecticut cryptid with us. Bailey takes us first to the mountains to bring to the table, once again, a black dog that is probably a Hellhound. Then special guest, Jamie, tries to explain the Jewett City Vampire phenomenon. And of course, Dani is there to give her slightly drugged-up commentary.

For once in a podcast's life our host got to record in the same room!! And just in time to road trip to the great mountains of Colorado, home of the most landslides, um Bailey means the Slide Rock Bolter. Dani’s creature may sound scary but just a few shots will ward off a sneaky Hidebehind.
