  • 27 - Loveland Frogmen - Loveland OH

    Are you feeling froggy? Join the boys on this cryptid caper as they attempt to uncover the legend of the “Loveland Frogmen”
    The Loveland Frogmen were first reported in 1955 in the tiny town of Loveland, OH. They were described as humanoid creatures with the face of a frog. They have green leathery skin and webbed hands. They were also reported to have held up a bar-like device that emitted sparks.
    Are they overgrown lizards, aquatic aliens fueling their UFO, the first wave of the reptoid invasion or are they the product of an overactive imagination?
    Brett swears on a stack of Illuminati bibles not to call BS in the first five minutes of the show.

  • 22 - Grave of the Devil’s Baby - Ravenswood, WV

    Every town has their urban legend, but not every legend is straight from the gate’s of hell.
    The Grave of the Devil’s baby is one of the former. Join Brett and Harley as they dig up some truth of this legend.
    This grave site is located in Ravenswood West Virginia, and dates back to 1810. Nestled on the banks of the Ohio River, this sleepy hollow once belonged to George Washington himself.
    The legend dates back to 1917, when a young child, George Elwood Sharp, passed away and was buried in the local graveyard. Due to the tombstone fad at the time, the grave marker included a picture of George. Now, it is said that the picture glows in the dark and has fangs and horns. People also hear a baby crying in the night.
