Is it an alien? A pair of haunted yoga pants? Or just a very shy set of legs looking for the nearest 24-hour laundromat?

This week, Stevie and Jacklynn are heading to Central California to discuss the internet’s favourite "elegant leggy boy"—the Fresno Nightcrawler. From the original grainy 2007 security footage to the Yosemite sightings, we’re breaking down why these billowy white bipeds have captured the hearts (and Etsy shops) of the cryptid community.

In this episode, we’re asking the hard-hitting questions:

• How does something with no torso have so much swagger?
• Are we looking at a sophisticated hoax, or is Fresno just the runway for extraterrestrial leg-day?
• Why has a city embraced a "weirdo beastie" that looks like it escaped from a Gap commercial?

Grab your favourite pair of stilts and join us for a deep dive into the whimsical, the non-aggressive, and the downright bizarre. It’s cute, it’s weird, and it’s definitely whimsical.

Listen in for:

• [06:26] The footage that started the fever dream.
• [12:58] Hoax theories: Puppet strings or just really tall toddlers?
• [22:21] What does AI think of our leggy friends?
• [30:51] Stevie and Jacklynn plan their own Nightcrawler debut.

We’re back at the Hinsdale House, and let’s just say the Dandy family is officially fighting for their lives. If you thought the bees in Part 1 were bad, wait until you meet the woman with the red hair and—wait for it—sharp teeth. (Is it scary? Yes. Is it "sexy?" According to us... maybe?)

In the epic conclusion of our Hinsdale deep dive, Jacklynn and Stevie follow the Dandy's as they call in the big guns: priests, psychics, and documentary crews. We’re breaking down the moment Phil finally stopped being a skeptic (spoiler: it involved a floating book), the bone-chilling groans heard during the cleansing, and the tragic legacy the house left behind. From bankruptcy to paranormal superstardom, we’re asking the tough questions—like why anyone would stay long enough to see a ghost with dental issues.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The Dental Nightmare: Why a ghost with sharp teeth is the ultimate "nope."
• The Skeptic’s Downfall: The floating book incident that changed everything.
• The Cleansing: Why the house decided to groan and wail like a moody teenager.
• The Legacy: How the Dandy family survived the chaos and what the house looks like today.

Grab your sage and your sense of humor, Weirdos! This week, Jacklynn and Stevie are packing their bags (and possibly an adult diaper) to visit New York’s infamous Hinsdale House.

We’re diving deep into the 1970s saga of the Dandy family, who moved into their dream home only to find out the previous tenants were... less than alive. From mysterious swarms of bees to ghostly farmers and the "bodies in the hills," we explore why this patch of land has such chaotic energy.

We try to keep it dark and scary, but let’s be real—we’re mostly here for the "what if" scenarios and wondering why anyone ever goes into a cellar. Whether it’s tear-shaped burns or shadowy figures in the window, we’re asking the tough questions, interjecting the necessary giggles, and reminding you that the land always remembers.

In this episode, we discuss:

Yelp Reviews for Ghosts: Why the Dandy family probably should have checked the home's history first.

The "Singing Chants": Why pets are the ultimate paranormal barometers (and why we're officially worried).

The Letter Opener Incident: The terrifying moment that had us ready to bolt.

Whimsy Theories: Our personal takes on why some houses just want to be left alone.

Lock your doors and hide your shiny things, because Jacklynn and Stevie have officially entered their Dragon Era. This week, we’re breathing fire on the "dragon vs. wyvern" debate (yes, limbs matter!), comparing the "Good Vibes Only" Eastern dragons to their "Village-Burning" Western cousins, and wondering why we aren't all currently napping on a pile of gold.

We also take a detour into the New Forest to meet the Bistern Dragon and discuss the Komodo dragon—the only real-life creature with enough audacity to keep the name. It’s 100% scales, 0% chill, and significantly more talk about venomous drool than you probably expected.

Takeaways:

The Limb Discourse: Why your favourite dragon might actually be a wyvern (and why that’s a problem).

Global Dragon Vibes: The difference between a "Wisdom Noodle" and a "Malevolent Bat."

Local Legends: The terrifying tale of the Bistern Dragon.

Real-Life Monsters: Why Komodo dragons are the ultimate "0% chill icons.

Personal Aesthetics: Which dragon hoard would we actually want to live in?

Hold your breath until your vision gets spotty, because Jacklynn and Stevie are plunging into the brine to figure out why everyone wants to skinny dip with a predatory fish-human hybrid. This week, we’re investigating Mermaids: the original gaslighters of the sea. Why do they want our voices? Why are their bras made of non-supportive mollusks? And why, God, why, did someone sew a primate to a fish and call it "art"?

In this chaotic deep sea plunge we’re tackling:

The Original Catfish: We trace mermaid origins back to when sailors were so lonely they started flirting with manatees. It wasn’t "enchantment," Dave, it was scurvy and a desperate need for a hug.

The Fiji Mermaid Trauma Ward: A deep dive into the taxidermy nightmare that proves humanity will believe anything if you put it in a glass case and charge a nickel.

Professional Mermaiding: We discuss the "Industrial Kelp Complex" where people voluntarily zip themselves into $3,000 silicone death-socks for the sake of the 'gram.

Atlantis: The Ultimate Gated Community: Is it a lost civilization, or did they just see where humanity was heading and decide to fake their own deaths?

Warning: This episode contains high levels of salt, zero actual marine biology, and heavy realization that the ocean is 95% "Nope."

Pack your bags and your emotional support crystals, because this week Stevie and Jacklynn are trekking into the misty, mysterious heart of the Appalachian Mountains.

The peaks are old, the valleys are deep, and the vibes? Honestly, a little bit "don't look out the window after dark." We’re breaking down why this region is a literal magnet for the macabre, from the science of the soil to the spirits that refuse to leave it.

In this episode:

• Kate the Bell Witch: Seriously, what is her deal? We discuss why she’s the ultimate petty queen of Tennessee and why she had such a specific vendetta against the Bell family. Was she a ghost, an entity, or just someone who needed a hobby?
• The Brown Mountain Lights: Is it swamp gas, aliens, or just the mountains trying to get our attention?
• Cryptid Corner: We meet the Wampus Cat (a mood) and the legendary Mothman. This leads us to the question we were all too afraid to ask: Is Mothman actually hot? Is it the mystery? The wings? The glowing red eyes that say "I see you, but I also see a bridge collapsing in your near future"?
• Appalachian Culture: Why the history of this land makes it the perfect breeding ground for stories that go bump in the night.

Whether you're here for the geological deep dives or you just want to know if these weirdos would swipe right on a cryptid, this episode has it all.

We're BAAAAACK! (Did you miss us? Be honest.) After a year-long, accidental, possibly ghost-induced hiatus, the Weirdos of Whimsy dust off their microphones just in time to ruin Christmas for everyone! Join us as we dive headfirst into the spookier, sexier side of the silly season. Think less tinsel and more terrifying tales! We're talking forgotten Pagan Yuletide rituals, why Victorians were obsessed with telling ghost stories on Christmas Eve, and the absolute mess of a legend that is Krampus (spoiler alert: he's still a vibe). Plus, we tackle a genuinely grim slice of local history, the 1934 Christmas train disaster. It's a delightful mashup of history, haunts, and hilarious attempts to pronounce "Wassail." Tune in and get weird!!
