Occultor

This episode covers lore and history about a spirit that pops up in many different cultures under many different names: black dogs. It's debated whether they're cryptids, spirits, or demons, but many myths report they are Good Boys who guard crossroads and spirits of the dead.

One of my very favorite cryptids stars in this episode! And no, I'm not talking about the surprise guest who I invited on the show for this week. Mothman and his scare-spree at Point Pleasant, West Virginia, is a wild story with so much to it. There are as many theories as there were sightings in the mid 1960s (over a hundred!) and in this episode we cover a few.

Michael Malloy is a real-life Irish tank, a man that defied all the rules when it comes to mortality. Was he just lucky? Was it that good ole Irish durability? Who knows, but it's a great story!

This episode is the beginning (and maybe the end, if listeners decree) of a looser notes structure. Let us know what you think compared to the ones before on Instagram @occultorpodcast or email [email protected].
