  • Episode 8: Holy Heists, Batman!
    Heist, heist, baby! We LOVE heists here at Castles and Cryptids. So we are very excited to dive into some intricate schemes and crazy capers! Kelsey's bringing us an art heist that involves wayward mustaches, naive guards, and a big ole mystery. Alanna couldn't choose just one so she's giving us the Ocean's 11 of Belgium AND a charming Canadian criminal called the "gentleman bandit".

  • Episode 3: Yeh Cursed
    For episode three we take on cursed objects. Alanna covers some paintings that take "blood, sweat and tears" a little too literally, while Kelsey gives us reasons to get rid of any old dolls laying around the house.  So look over your shoulder tomake sure you're alone and tune in for some truly creepy objects. View our website slideshow at your own risk! some of these dolls may cause discomfort.
    Correction: I refer to a website in the cursed images portion incorrectly. I should have said ruin my week.com not ruin my day.

  • Episode 2: Canadian True Crime
    It's episode 2! And it's time for some Canucks who are f**ked up. Kelsey covers the story of a guy you don't want to accept ANY free drinks from (and that's saying something coming from me!) After that, Alanna covers her first "monster". We promise you'll never look at a tv antenna the same again. You know how TVs used to have antennas for reception? .....no? Then you are not old enough to listen to this podcast. Sorry. Trigger warning, it's a nasty one.  So crack open a cold one, because you are gonna need it for Canadian True Crime.
