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 a conspiracy theory- the Tall Whites. This episode is focused on an Iranian newspaper and their reports that a group of aliens have been in control of the US government since 1945. According to the newspaper, they met with president Eisenhower in 1954, but there is no evidence of this. They even said that Edward Snowden, the infamous whistleblower was the one to bring this to light. What does the newspaper say? Who else have the Tall Whites helped? Why haven't we heard more about this? Listen in to find out!
