Alright… let’s talk about the Basin Screecher of Maine.

There’s reported anomaly haunting a basin in Phippsburg. This one is in the form of a bipedal creature with wings, and a terrifying scream. 

As the name suggests, more people have heard it than have seen it with their eyes. Emitting a blood-stopping scream, it’s said to haunt the Basin in Phippsburg. The Basin is a wooded area long known for late night forest parties and beer-fueled shenanigans. The few who have seen it describe a creature half man and half bird. 

Listen to the episode for more info on the screecher and witness accounts.
