Cryptids Decrypted

This week, we're headed to Indonesia to talk about the Orang Pendek, or "short man". Calling this cryptid Indonesia's Bigfoot would be a misnomer because... well it's a small boy. We go through sightings, legends, and everything else in between.

It's hot Gevaudan summer in the south of France. Everyone is partying, herding their sheep, and trying to eke out a living in the rocky, barren landscape of Gevaudan. Sounds pretty sweet until a beastly cryptid shows up and wreaks absolute havoc for three years.

This is by far the closest to real we've ever been on Cryptids Decrypted, and it's a hell of a story.

This week, we're diving beneath the ice to talk about some Antarctic conspiracies. This was all kicked off by a recent news article about a sub mysteriously going missing beneath the ice. What we found was thin at times, but definitely entertaining.
