  1. Ep. 72 Evidence of the Yeti? The Pangboche Mystery

    2D AGO

    Ep. 72 Evidence of the Yeti? The Pangboche Mystery

    In this episode, we dig deep into the Yeti legend with a major focus on the Pangboche Monastery and one of the most controversial pieces of alleged physical evidence ever connected to the creature. We walk through the story of the so-called Yeti relic kept at the monastery, how it was revealed to outsiders, and why it became such a huge moment in Yeti lore. We also get into the strange and lesser-known involvement of Jimmy Stewart, including how he helped secretly transport part of the relic out of Nepal and why the entire situation added another layer of mystery and skepticism to the story. Between monks, mountaineers, and Hollywood royalty, the Pangboche story is one of the wildest chapters in Yeti history. To pair with this high-altitude mystery, we’re drinking Harpoon Winter Warmer, a seasonal beer that fits perfectly with the cold Himalayan setting. Its rich malt profile and warming finish make it an ideal companion for discussing frozen mountains, ancient monasteries, and one of the strangest relic stories ever told. Grab a beer and join us as we break down the Pangboche Monastery story, the alleged Yeti evidence, and why this legend still sparks debate decades later. Give us a shout Support the show

    Ep. 71 The Men in Black

    In this episode of Kraken Cans Cast, we dive into the Men in Black, starting with their first known appearance tied to the 1947 Maury Island incident—a bizarre UFO encounter involving strange debris, shadowy warnings, and a trail of fear that set the tone for every MIB story that followed. We break down who (or what) the Men in Black are, their unnerving appearance, their oddly stiff behavior, and why witnesses consistently report the same details across decades. Government agents? Interdimensional enforcers? Something pretending to be human just well enough to pass? To set the mood, we crack open Alien Church by Tired Hands Brewing—a hazy, otherworldly IPA that feels right at home in an episode about cosmic intimidation and reality not working the way it should. From early UFO lore to modern encounters, this episode explores why the Men in Black remain one of the most unsettling figures in paranormal history—and why, once you notice them, you might already be too late.

    Ep. 70 Kallikantzaroi: Greece’s Christmas Gremlins

    This week we dive into Greek Christmas folklore and the legend of the Kallikantzaroi — the wild, hairy little goblins who crawl up from underground during the 12 Days of Christmas to cause pure chaos. From Dec 25th to Jan 6th, the world was believed to be in a spiritual “in-between,” not fully blessed or protected yet. That’s when these mischievous creatures slip out, abandoning their year-round job of sawing at the cosmic World Tree (which hilariously heals itself every time they leave). We cover: • Where they come from and why they only appear during this window • What they look like — deformed, hairy, clawed, goblin nightmares • The havoc they wreak — stealing food, breaking things, pranks, chimney chaos • How people protected themselves, from burning fires to tricking their tiny goblin brains with counting objects • Why they symbolize winter fear, disorder, and holiday unpredictability • Plus a fun comparison: Kallikantzaroi vs. Iceland’s Yule Lads Lock your doors, guard your cookies, and let’s get into the legend of the Kallikantzaroi — the chaotic Christmas creatures you definitely don’t want visiting your house.

    Ep. 69 The 1973 Pascagoula UFO Incident

    On this episode of Kraken Cans Cast, we crack open Evergrain Brewing’s Mothman Double IPA—a hazy citrus punch of a beer that feels just right for a night of UFO talk. And what better story to pair it with than one of the most famous alien encounters in American history: the 1973 Pascagoula Abduction. We dive deep into the night Charles Hickson (42) and Calvin Parker (19) were fishing along the Pascagoula River when a strange glowing craft descended, robotic-looking beings emerged, and both men claimed they were taken aboard. You’ll hear how the men reacted immediately after the encounter, including their unforgettable trip to the local sheriff’s office. From the sheriff secretly recording them in the interview room—hoping to catch a hoax—to the chilling fact that the men never broke from their story, we break down every eerie detail. We’ll also talk about the aftermath: the media frenzy, Calvin’s lifelong anxiety, Charles’ repeated encounters, and why this case has remained one of the most debated UFO incidents for over 50 years. Crack a can, settle in, and join us as we revisit the Pascagoula Incident, a story that proves sometimes the sky isn’t the only thing watching. Give us a shout Support the show

    Ep. 68 Melonheads: Off the Rails Edition w/ MH Sam

    This year’s Thanksgiving guest episode is officially off the rails as we’re joined by Corey’s brother-in-law, Sam — fueled by beer and ready to cause chaos. Sam brings a full show-and-tell to the studio, breaking out his collection of big-headed gear (yes… actual giant hats and sunglasses) from Mammoth Wear and Bison Head. Naturally, this leads to us measuring our domes, and let’s just say Sam clocks in with a legendary 25-inch melon worthy of the cryptids themselves. From there, we dive deep into the Melon Head legend — exploring the creepy stories and weird sightings across Ohio, Michigan, and Connecticut, swapping theories, and going down plenty of hilarious tangents along the way. Crack a cold one and tune in to this chaotic Thanksgiving tradition you didn’t know you needed. Give us a shout Support the show

    Ep. 67 A Haunting in Galway Ireland: The Fahey Family

    In this episode of The Kraken Cans Cast, we’re heading to Galway, Ireland, to break down one of the most unsettling hauntings you’ve probably never heard of — the Fahey Family case of 1996. What started as a normal home in a crowded council estate turned into a full-blown nightmare after two major events hit at once: neighborhood renovations and the arrival of a newborn baby. From foul smells to midnight footsteps, blinding lights, and a string of events that pushed the family to their breaking point, the Fahey haunting spiraled into something far darker than anyone expected. Even the church, the media, and a psychic medium got pulled into the chaos. We’re diving into what happened inside that house, why this case lines up with other infamous hauntings, and whether the Faheys were dealing with a ghost… or something much worse. Crack a cold one — this is one of Ireland’s wildest and most chilling hauntings. Give us a shout Support the show

    Ep. 66 Batsquatch: Monster of Mount St. Helens

    Is it Bigfoot with wings… or something far stranger? In this episode of Kraken Cans Cast, we dive into the legend of Batsquatch, the mysterious flying beast said to have emerged after the eruption of Mount St. Helens. From eerie eyewitness encounters to theories of mutations, monsters, and interdimensional visitors, we crack open a cold one and explore the truth behind one of the Pacific Northwest’s wildest cryptids.

    Ep. 65 The Cursed Whistler of the Plains: El Silbón

    This week, the boys crack a cold one and head deep into the windswept plains of Venezuela and Colombia to uncover one of Latin America’s most chilling legends — El Silbón, “The Whistler.” Spoiled since birth, a man’s unchecked rage and horrific crime against his own father lead to an eternal curse — doomed to wander the earth carrying a sack of bones and announcing his presence with a haunting whistle. But beware: the louder it sounds, the safer you are… the quieter it gets, the closer he is. Corey and Mike dig into the many versions of this story — from drunken revenge to twisted family secrets — and debate what El Silbón really is: a restless spirit, an ancient god of the wind, or just the ghostly echo of the Llanos themselves. Along the way, they share a terrifying Reddit encounter, talk about the moral lessons hidden in the legend, and current pop culture. Go crack a beer and get ready for the Whistler!  Give us a shout Support the show
