Welcome to What The Heck's Creature Feature! These episodes release on Saturdays and look at folklore and cryptids from around the world! The same academic style is applied to these episodes, but they look at history and eyewitness reports before describing the creature of the week! A lot of the time, theories are a bit more scarce than the main episodes, but the content is still just as interesting.

This week we're looking at Black Stick Men. Another short Creature Feature episode, due to the way I set up my seasons. Black Stick Men are a relatively new cryptid, but none of the eyewitness accounts are dated properly. The general idea is that they appeared in 2008, but we can't be sure about that. As it stands, there isn't a huge amount of information about this creature. What have people seen? Is there anything they do? Are they just shadow people? Listen in to find out!
