Welcome back to your favorite podcast, That Would Be Rad! This week, Tyler and Woody dive into the eerie and mysterious world of the Catskills Crone while sprinkling in some rad tangents about comic book legends and high-strangeness experiences. This episode is packed with folklore, spine-tingling suspense, and a dose of comic book brilliance.

Imagine hiking through the dense woods of the Catskills and stumbling upon a strange, ancient-looking statue with nails in its eyes and a noose around its neck. Would you take it home? That's exactly what happened to two hikers, and the bizarre events that followed are the stuff of nightmares. From unexplained noises and ghostly apparitions to the unsettling presence of muddy footprints, this story will have you questioning the very nature of reality.

Tyler and Woody unravel this chilling tale, discussing its connection to the rich folklore of the Catskills, including tales of gnomes, fairies, and other mystical creatures. They explore the region's history, its ties to Native American legends, and the possibility of it being a window area for paranormal activity.

But that’s not all! This week, Woody and Tyler also take a deep dive into the genius of Mike Mignola and his groundbreaking work on Hellboy. From his distinct use of shadow and minimalist design to his ability to blend folklore, mythology, and cosmic horror, Mignola has created a universe that feels timeless and utterly unique. Whether you're a longtime fan or just discovering Hellboy, you’ll love this tribute to one of comic’s greats.

And as if things couldn’t get stranger, Woody shares his possible encounter with a skinwalker in his own neighborhood. What started as strange noises and fleeting shadows in the woods behind his house turned into something much more unsettling. Could it be just a trick of the imagination—or was there something watching him from the dark? Tune in to hear the full story and decide for yourself.

Join us as we delve into the documentary The Unbinding, which chronicles the journey of the Catskills Crone from its discovery to its current home with paranormal investigators Greg and Dana Newkirk. Whether you're here for the high strangeness, the historical context, or just to hear two best friends discuss the unexplained, this episode promises to keep you on the edge of your seat.
