After the phenomenal success of Jaws, other filmmakers smelled the blood in the water, making horror movies that essentially rip off the original film. So this week, John and I take a look at some of our favorite Jaws rip-offs! There's more sharks, killer whales, alligators & crocodiles, piranha, and even a grizzly bear! Plus we discuss how these films drew inspiration from historical events, cryptozoology, Forteana, and urban legends, like the shark attacks in Matawan Creek, New Jersey, and the alligators in the sewers of New York City! Are these rip-offs? Homages? Or simply inspired by Jaws? Let us know what you think in the comments!

🎥 Join us as we break down these horror classics and debate whether they were trying to cash in on Jaws' success or were just trying to survive in the same monstrous waters!

👉 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and ring the bell for more paranormal horror content and deep dives into cryptids, Forteana, and urban legends!

The Not Deer is a relatively new cryptid, but a very creepy one. Originally seen as a legend out of Appalachia, the Not Deer is now reported all over the world. Described as a deer that isn't quite a deer, it often has forward-facing eyes, oddly long legs, and unusual demeanors, mainly not being afraid of people. They often walk funny or just seem "off." Some will allege that these creatures are the wendigo or a skinwalker, but there seem to be more natural explanations for what people report seeing. In this episode, I explore these strange deer encounters and some possible explanations for what these creatures might be. #notdeer #cryptid #creepypasta 6:32 - Odd deer encounter as a teen10:44 - In South Dakota?15:21 - Sighting?19:05 - Deer Thing23:57 - Strange deer encounter?26:43 - AnalysisLinks!Follow us on Social media!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oddanduntold/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/oddanduntoldWebsite: https://www.oddanduntold.comEmail me! : [email protected]Merch Store: https://oddanduntold.creator-spring.comNot Deer: https://cryptidz.fandom.com/wiki/Not_Deer#explanationsinhindi Not-Deer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not-deerOut-of-Place Animals | Episode 105: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W69CRSFujJ4&t=687sCheck out Riversend, the band behind "Moonlight," our awesome theme music!Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/1yIwfeu2cH1kDZaMYxKOUe?si=NIUijnmsQe6LNWOsfZ2jPwRiversend Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RiversendbandRiversend Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/riversendband/

Arizona may not seem like the perfect environment for Sasquatch, but there are plenty of Bigfoot sightings in the Grand Canyon State! Like many states, they have a specific name for their Bigfoot, the Mogollon monster. And this week, I'm taking a look at six stories from Maricopa County. A roadside sighting near Buckeye, road crossings near Bartlett Lake, I-10, and Baseline Road, a Bigfoot chases a woman while she's on horseback, and a night hiker is rushed by two juvenile Bigfoot creatures.
