On this episode, I'm delighted to welcome back author and fortean traveler, J W Ocker to head on a cryptid road trip around the United States.

All American states have a local legend or cryptid or two that can often be overlooked thanks to some of the more well known monsters lurking in the shadows such as Bigfoot, Dogman and Champ of course.

From the strange story of the Loveland Frogman, to one of the best reported Cryptids of the seas, there is no end to some wonderful encounters covering all manner of cryptid creatures.
