In the latest episode of "Within the Mist," hosts Gary and GoldieAnn delve into the legend of the Cadborosaurus, affectionately known as "Caddy." This cryptid is said to inhabit the coastal waters of the North Pacific, particularly around Cadboro Bay in British Columbia.

The episode begins by exploring the indigenous tribes' early legends, which describe serpentine sea creatures bearing a striking resemblance to Caddy. These tales have been passed down through generations, embedding the creature deeply into local folklore.

Moving forward to the 1930s, the hosts recount numerous reported sightings of Caddy. Eyewitnesses during this era described a creature with a long neck, horse-like head, and a series of humps along its back, often seen undulating through the water. These accounts contributed to a surge of public interest and speculation about the creature's existence.

The episode reaches a climax with the intriguing discovery of an unidentified carcass found in the stomach of a whale. This finding reignited debates among cryptozoologists and marine biologists, as some believed the remains could be physical evidence of Caddy's existence. The hosts discuss various analyses and theories surrounding this discovery, weighing the possibilities of it being a new species or a misidentified known animal.

Join Gary and GoldieAnn as they sail Within the Mists of the Cadboro Bay to bring you Caddy, the Cadborosaurus.

There is a dark figure from Alsatian yule folklore in northeastern France. According to legend, a wealthy and greedy man became infamous for his cruelty, blasphemy, and obsession with power. He was said to have made a pact with the devil to increase his wealth and influence. Still, his wickedness eventually led to his excommunication by the Church and banishment from society.

Living in exile in the forest, this lord descended into madness and evil. He began dressing as a scarecrow, stuffing his clothes with straw, and luring children into the woods, intending to harm them. However, before he could carry out his plans, he was struck down by a divine bolt of lightning.

Despite his death, the legend persists that his malevolent spirit roams the countryside during Christmastime, frightening children into behaving. Like other dark Yuletide figures, he is a cautionary figure. In some tales, he accompanies Saint Nicholas to punish naughty children while Saint Nicholas rewards the good. His eerie scarecrow appearance and sinister backstory make him one of the darker figures in European Christmas lore.

Join Gary and GoldieAnn as they wander Within the Mists of France to find Hans Trapp, the Christmas Scarecrow.

In this episode, we venture into the Outback to uncover the legends surrounding the Burrunjor, one of Australia’s most elusive cryptids. Said to resemble a living dinosaur, this reptilian predator has been described by Indigenous communities and locals alike as a massive, bipedal creature with scaly skin and razor-sharp teeth. Often compared to a Tyrannosaurus Rex, the Burrunjor allegedly stalks the wild, isolated regions of Northern Australia, leaving behind mysterious three-toed footprints and sparking whispers of a living relic from the Jurassic era.

Gary and GoldieAnn explore the eerie accounts from eyewitnesses, dive into the stories passed down by Aboriginal people, and discuss modern expeditions into the Outback in search of clues. Could the Burrunjor be a remnant from prehistory, or is it a compelling product of the Australian landscape’s dark allure?
