*Apologies for the inconsistent audio, we're adjusting to a new studio space*

The inspiration behind Wolf Creek may not have the most bodies under his belt, but he is undeniably one of Australia's most cruel and unhinged serial killers. I am of course talking about the absolutely insane case of the Backpacker murders at the hands of Ivan Milat.

After the body of a relative is found in Malcolm Naden's bedroom, he disappears like a ghost into the vast Australian landscape, continuously evading Special Forces units at every turn.

He is not only wanted for murder but also for questioning in the disappearance and suspected death of a cousin and the indecent assault of a minor.

Police worry if he isn't apprehended soon, he may kill again... and they're right on the money with their concerns.

In this episode we explore the burgeoning lore surrounding one of the newest cryptids on the market, The Goatman.

We also take a look at The SOS Incident, a disappearance that is so sussy it even left investigators scratching their noggins.

If you've never heard of the Great Emu War of 1932, you are missing out!

Also, what's the worst thing you could be doing when you die? How do you definitely not want to be found? I reckon this is top 3, easy.

Could there be? Or Conspiracy?

Ever wondered about an alternative ancient history? Is there any evidence to support it? Whatever the answer, it's kind of fun to think about.

No matter how bad you may think this very real story of a serial killer is, it some how manages to be way, way worse.

Strap in, this one's a real doozy.

Bree talks about a terrifying attack on a remote family farm in Maine by a pack of creatures that resembled wolves... but stood on their hind legs.

Jord exposes the elusive "Bunnajor", a rarely talked about Australian cryptid that could be leftover from the Megafauna.

Josh gives us an overview of El Chupacabra and his unbridled opinion of what it actually is.

You've probably heard of the Dyatlov Pass Incident but have you heard of the similar, ill-fated and bizarre hiking trip that occurred in the same area in the 90s? Could solving it help solve Dyatlov?

And the lost ship called "Jenny" (not to be confused with the one from Forrest Gump) was found TWENTY YEARS later with the crew not having aged a day.

Josh and Jord fight for the title of the resident Cryptozoologist.

Bree informs the boys of one of Wisconsin's most batshit insane murders to have graced the State in recent years.
