Cryptid Ramblers Podcast

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 11 of the Cryptid Ramblers Podcast. In this episode we are staying within the world of Demons, but this time we are looking into the psychological impact of the phenomena.

As always we start with the academic side of the discussion by looking into the history of the various conditions and undiagnosed symptoms. Then we look to tackle the impact of religion and how each one has its own belief and understanding of possession, and more importantly how it deals with it.

Of course you cant look at something like possession and not look into the affect on mental health. Not just the personal impact on the sufferer but also the stigma surrounding it

So please join us as we take a slightly different turn in this episode and explore what is still a very fascinating subject with many different angles.

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 10 of the Cryptid Ramblers Podcast. In this episode we are veering off the cryptid path for a moment and heading into the world of spirits and demon possessions.

To kick things off, in what will be a two part series, we look at some of the most compelling and well known stories of demon possessions. This episode as usual takes us to a number of locations from Germany over to the US of A.

We discuss real world accounts of demonic possession which have also influenced many movies which are prominent in pop culture today.

So join us as we discuss these compelling accounts and as always try to give our thoughts on the subject.

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 9 of the Cryptid Ramblers Podcast. In this episode we are diving into another fabled cryptid, hotly linked to the focus of our last episode.  

Steeped in history and legend, this creature can be found in folklore across Europe starting in Greece and their mythology and also being quite prominent in Norse mythology also in parts of Scandinavia.  

As most people will know they are also linked heavily with Vampires, which is why in most pop culture references you cant have one with other. In this episode we discuss the similarities including a very condition that caused people to be accused of being both.   

So join us as we sink our teeth into another monstrous cryptid and try to unearth new details and even a few surprises.

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 8 of the Cryptid Ramblers Podcast. In this episode we follow on from the previous where we discussed the legend of the Vampire.   

Reading Dr. Stephen Kaplans book "Vampires Are" we come across a thrilling encounter with a real life vampire by the name of Elizabeth. From their first encounter, through their many conversations to the ultimate conclusion, we break down this compelling story of this supposed 400 year old vampire.   

This episodes keeps us firmly in the US as we dive deep into the Dr's book as well some additional bits of information that follows on from Part 1.   

So join us as we sink our teeth again into another interesting story regarding this famous legend.

Welcome to season 2, episode 7 of the Cryptid Ramblers Podcast. In this episode we take a deep dive in the history, origin and folklore of Vampires. This time we are mostly covering countries within Eastern and Western Europe to begin our journey into this well known legend, however we are also taken further afield to the other side of the world for other potential stories of the Vampire. 

We visit places such as Romania and Greece and go as far afield as the US and India. 

As always many people will think they know who or what a vampire is whether it be courtesy of Bram Stoker, The Bible or mythologies from ancient Greece and Egypt but shine the light on all of these and more to determine the true origin of this most famous cryptid. 

So please join us as we sink our teeth into this most fascinating monster lore. 

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 6 of the Cryptid Ramblers Podcast. In this episode we take another trip to the other side of the world, back to a little island in the Caribbean.

Another local legend to Puerto Rico which has origins in French mythology. We also find ourselves in the US, UK and even Chile.

Many people think they will know what a Gargoyle is but you'll be surprised to learn it has links to other well known cryptids that we have covered previously. Not only do we go over sightings and encounters and of course the believed origins, we also have local knowledge. One of our listeners kindly translated local articles covering sightings from the island of Puerto Rico into English and provided a field report of evidence.

So please join us as we dive deep into another cryptid from the America's.

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 5 of the Cryptid Ramblers Podcast. In this episode we take a trip to the other side of world, but this time to a little island in the Caribbean.

A local legend, which also has ties with the US, captured our attention and we wanted to dive in straight away. Well known throughout the Caribbean and the Americas, we came across a lot of intriguing encounters, sightings and stories. One even provided by a listener of the podcast.

With two distinct descriptions of the creature we journeyed from little towns in Puerto Rico to a state in the US. From the first reported sighting in 1995 to a possible origin as far back as the 1970's we cover a whole variety of evidence that brings this creature into existence.

So join us as we delve into the intriguing world of El Chupacabra.

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 4 of the Cryptid Ramblers Podcast. In this episode we take a trip to a small town in Wisconsin, USA. There we dive into a local legend which has put the little town of Elkhorn, Walworth County on the map, attracting tourists and fans from far and wide. Yes, we are going down to Bray Road, in hunt of the infamous beast.

For over 80 years, this elusive beast has been terrorising the local community from sightings at the side of the road, to roaming the surrounding farm land and animal mutilations.

Drawing comparisons to the Dogman of Michigan we look into whether this is a beast of its own or whether it is one of the same. The first sighting stems from 1936 but it is believed that the beast has existed since the last 1800's.

So come and join us as we take another trip over the pond to investigate another local legend.

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 3 of the Cryptid Ramblers Podcast. For this episode we return to a familiar format.

We dive back into a much known cryptid originating from the United States. Fans of the podcast will be pleased to know that we even venture back to our favourite state of West Virginia.

The stories and encounters with the elusive Dogman take us across America from Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin and of course our beloved West Virginia. Then across the pond to local legends near us here in Essex, UK.

It isn't just physical encounters we uncover either, we jump back into the world of the spiritual and possible paranormal.

So join us as we investigate the possible existence of this creature and if it does, what form does it take, physical, spiritual or even paranormal.

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 2 of the Cryptid Ramblers Podcast. For this episode we are doing something a little different. To follow on from our Inner Earth episode we finally addressed a question posed to us by one of our amazing Patreon members. It followed on nicely from Episode 1 and was the right time to finally tackle it.

We discuss the possible existence of lost civilisations, high strangeness, a catastrophic global event and whether, as humans, we have lost the ability to communicate with other dimensions and/or realms and if we can travel through portals.

So please join us for this special episode as we jump into the very intriguing and thought provoking question and provide our thoughts and evidence on this subject.
