Welcome to Cryptic Soup, your after-dark podcast. Crimes, cryptids, cons, and beyond. There is always something new to dive into.
In this week's episode, join Thena and Kylee to talk about a little more of a furry case. We are going to meet Casper, the crime fighting dog. Sounds fun right? Casper is a Great Pyrenees from Georgia who found and killed numerous coyotes that were trying to attack his livestock. Talk about a ruff day on the job. Did you know that dogs play an important role in the true crime community, between cadaver dogs, assisting in crime searches, K-9 units, and more. We give credit to some other really cool dogs that have helped with cases over time!

In this week's episode, join Thena and Kylee to discuss the Flatwoods Monster. This cryptid creature was sighted back in 1952 near Braxton County, West Virginia, United States.
