  1. Number 1: Episode 81- The Yule Cat

    Episode Notes There's a chill in the air, a dusting of snow on the ground, and the thundering footsteps of a Very Big Cat. Oh lawd...He coming. Here comes the Yule Cat, here to either eat your christmas dinner or your children, we're not exactly sure. Join us as we discuss Iceland's biggest, scariest Christmas Cat, the strange politics of Yuletide folk tales, and how much Addison will cry over cats. Happy Holidays!

  2. Number 2: Episode 80- White Things (With Brie Sheldon!)

    Episode Notes We aren't trying to be deliberately vague, there genuinely is a category of cryptid called "White Things". What is it exactly? A shapeshifter? An albino wolf? Now what the everloving heck is Sheepsquatch? Game designer, editor and journalist Brie Sheldon (Turn, Let me Take a Selfie, and more) joins us to discuss these bloodthirsty and maybe cute (?) creatures with the world's vaguest name.

  3. Number 3: Episode 66- Doppelgangers

    This week's subject is looking awfully familiar...maybe TOO familiar. We're traveling to Germany and beyond, from the man in the mirror to a stranger in a crowd, we're covering Doppelgangers! In which "twinsies" takes on a much sinister meaning. It's our last episode recording in the same place (for now) and we hope you have as much fun as we did.

  4. Number 4: Episode 65- The Rougarou

    Alex is back this week and we're feeling a little hungry...a little TOO hungry...for Knowledge. If you're feeling a little peckish too, let's sate our unnatural hankerings together and learn about this week's frightening creature. Not quite a werewolf, not quite a wendigo, but it's definitely cause for conversation. So let's take a trip over to the beautiful French countryside and watch out for wolves trying to fight you: this week we're discussing the Rougarou. Audio editing by Val Petrone

    They're in the sky, they're on your roof, in your windows, doing backflips and just totally OWNING you in front of your whole family: It's the Hopkinsville Goblins! Guest Host Andrew (A Horror Borealis, our theme music) joins us again in Alex's absence as we cover what may be the Original Little Green Men. They're out of this world!
