Greg's Cryptid Corner

Welcome to GCCNN, a new Patreon-only series about current events in the cryptid and paranormal world. Each episode focuses on headlines from the previous few days so we can all stay up-to-date together! Normal GCC episodes will still release as usual, but we wanted to find a way to give our Patrons a little something special as a thank you for your support. If folks in the community like it, we'll keep making episodes on a regular basis.

On this first episode, we discuss a Bigfoot artist who recently passed away, new cryptids being added to Pathfinder, German UFO statistics, and a Pennsylvania town creating their own Bigfoot park. If you'd like to hear the entire episode, head on over to the Patreon and become a member at any level!

Until next time, we are your intrepid reporters signing out.

Today we're in the town of Sandown and camping in the Copse Mead Nature Preserve on the Isle of Wight to discuss the odd encounter that two children had with a potential alien clown! We dive into the events of their interaction, become dumbfounded by how it gets weirder and weirder, and theorize on the possible origins of this odd one-off(?) cryptid! So grab a seat by the fire and come learn about this super weird, super fun being!

Happy New Year! This week we're staying local to discuss two modern day cryptids, Loab and Crungus, born from the depths of AI image generators. Could and should they be classified as cryptids? Where might they have come from? And can the power of our beliefs manifest creatures into our reality? This one gets a little philosophical, so get comfy by the fire for this one!

Today we're hanging out in Griggstown, New Jersey to discuss the case of the Griggstown Cow -- a mysterious, potentially ghost, cow that was occasionally seen around town, but never left evidence of its existence! We discuss the creature's minimal story and the shocking ending to a 30 year mystery, but it leads us to the real meat of the episode: does the Griggstown Cow support the true existence of other cryptids?! Pull up a chair by the fire because this is a fun one!
