Castles & Cryptids

Hey cryptic cuties, you know we had to take advantage of the month of May to cover some airplane crimes.

Kelsey tells the story of Japan Air Lines Flight 123, when a typical trip turns into a fight to keep an uncontrollable plane in the air and save the lives of hundreds aboard. Alanna closes out the ep with Canadian Airlines Flight 108, and how investigations into its demise lead to a cowardly husband and his crazy plot to escape his life.

It's a wild ride this week, if your oxygen mask deploys make sure you put it on yourself first before helping others, and until next time, keep it cryptic!

This week, we had fun finding some other amazing animals, they may not all be psychic wonder horses, but damn are they wonderful!!

Kelsey keeps us up with the Koko shenanigans, you know like the Kardashians? Ok it's a stretch, but Koko reaches new heights in communication and very human traits, like ...being horny?? She's an enigma, like all of us!

To cap it off, Alanna tells some war stories of animal heros, like Unsinkable Sam, and two very, very good doggos.

Hey cryptic cuties, we thought it was about time we took it back to our roots, our Canadian roots that is. This time we bring to you 2 very interesting unsolved cases that couldn't be more different from each other. Kicking things off, Kelsey dives into a robbery that takes a surprising turn when the thieves return some of the items to prove they were the real robbers. Alanna shares the tragic tale of the babes in the woods, 2 unidentified children's remains, and the decades long search for answers. We hope you enjoy, recommend us to a friend (especially if their Canadian lol). Until next time, keep it cryptic!!

Ok, we could have called this episode a pseudoscience and a psychic horse, but I liked the alliteration so there we are. We love any fringe science, powerwe don't quite understand and stories about wild history with a dash of animal hijinks. This one has it all!

Hope you enjoy, and, hey(or should I say neigh?), let us know, we aren't psychic! So drop us a rating and refer a friend! Keep it Cryptic!

(Hey Cryptic Cuties, so sorry this is out a little late, it was my birthday yesterday and I did not get my editing done. I know I'm a bad girl, ironically we talk about late episodes at the end of the recording, how odd!! Hope you forgive me my sins lol)

Happy Freaky Friday, let's see how well you know your fairies! But be warned, most are not teacup-sized or full of pure goodness and pixie dust! Don't worry, we get to the pixies too.

Kelsey teaches an overview of the motley crew of fey-type creatures in New Zealand! Cliff notes: some are big and very hairy indeed! Not all look like Legolas, oh no!

Alanna's fairy feature starts with chicken-riding creatures and gets weirder as we go along! Sort of an A-Z of our favorite finds in fairy lore across the world. So get out your glitter and let's talk f*cked up fairies!

Hey everyone, did you miss us? We hope you enjoyed our unexpected Darkcast feature last week. We are back and ready to dive right into two cases where what a person knew may have put a target on their back.

Kelsey details how multiple witnesses disappeared just before they could testify against one very dangerous man, it's crazy just how many crimes he got away with. Alanna covers the life of a woman who became entangled with one of the most famous families of the 1960's. Did this lead to her eventual demise, or who is really behind her sudden death? Tune in to hear our theories, and until next time, keep it cryptic!
