Jimothy the raccoon has gone viral across Seattle — and the internet is calling him a cryptid. Here's the real story behind the short spine syndrome that gave him his strange, "goblin-like" look, and what it says about how folklore gets made.

Welcome to The Neon Psychopomp — a show about paranormal encounters, cryptids, aliens, and everything in between. I'm Kim, a healer, storyteller, and ferry woman exploring the thin line between life, death, and the unexplained. How the Unfamiliar Becomes Folklore.

In this first episode, (excuse the newness) we examine how grainy video, fast movement, and the shapes we don't recognize at first glance can transform ordinary wildlife into legend. Mother nature is full of surprises — sometimes the "monster" is just something born a little different. Sometimes our eyes, our fear, and our need to make sense of the unfamiliar is what truly creates the cryptid. Perfect for fans of paranormal investigation, cryptozoology, folklore, true crime, and anyone curious about what lurks in nature's margins.
