    There's no place like home, and there's no place like Kansas, our 16th stop along the Cryptid Superhighway.

This episode explores Sinkhole Sam - a strange creature seen slithering around several sinkholes  and lakes, eluding to an underground cave system, The Hamburger Man - a  terrifying apron-wearing meat-smearing roadside legend, and, The Thing on Unknown lane, a creature too tall, too thin, and too creepy for words.  Sources: https://flinthillsparanormal.com/cryptozoology/kansas-cryptids/tall-thin-creatures-in-the-woods/ https://www.reddit.com/r/cryptids/comments/o5r3eh/white_skinned_creature_ks/ https://kansascitymag.com/is-there-a-mysterious-monster-lurking-in-a-kansas-sinkhole-1/ Message us!

    #37 - San Antonio Four: The Devil Didn't Make Anyone Do Anything

    In the summer of 1994, four young women in San Antonio — Elizabeth Ramirez, Cassandra Rivera, Kristie Mayhugh, and Anna Vasquez — were accused of committing an unthinkable crime against two children. In San Antonio, a city charged with homophobia and lingering “satanic panic” fears, the openly gay women were convicted despite a lack of credible forensic evidence and sentenced to prison. Years later, one of the accusers recanted and said she had been pressured into making the allegations. What followed was a long fight for justice, involving shifting science, new Texas legislation, and the tireless work of the Innocence Project. This is the story of wrongful convictions, and four women who refused to stop fighting for their freedom.

    #36 - Old World Oddities: Cryptids of Europe

    This week, the Darlings cross the Atlantic and dip our toes into the dark waters of European folklore. In Germany, we meet the Wolpertinger, a stitched-together forest creature that may be more than just an old hunting-tale. In Scotland, we encounter the Kelpie, a shape-shifter with a beautiful allure and deadly intentions. If it offers you a ride, darling...decline. Finally, in the cold Scandinavian night, we wake up the Gjenganger, a corporeal revenant that doesn't drift like a ghost, but walks, intent on revenge and justice.  Three countries. Three cryptids. Three warnings: Stay on the path, don't trust a beautiful stranger, and no deed goes unpunished.  Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolpertinger https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackalope https://www.iamexpat.de/lifestyle/lifestyle-news/german-folklore-wolpertinger https://allthatsinteresting.com/wolpertinger https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gjenganger https://villains.fandom.com/wiki/Gjenganger https://mythus.fandom.com/wiki/Gjenganger Message us!

    Cryptid Crawl #15- Iowa! Claws in the Cornfields

    It is our 15th stop along the Cryptid Highway, and this week The Spooky Darlings delve into monsters of Iowa. And they all have claws. We tackle the infamous Van Meter Visitor, a winged, bird-like creature that made itself known in a town in 1903, recent encounters with Iowa Dragons, who appear to be excactly as the name describes, and a brokenhearted and vengeful ghost named Lucinda, who haunts the cliffs above Stony Hollow Road, and likes to scratch those who dare to call her name.  This field of dreams is more like a field of screams. Turn on a nightlight. The midwest creatures are watching. And waiting...

    #35 - The Valentine’s Dance Murders: Two Doctors and a Scoundrel (The Mann–McBane Case)

    In 1971, nursing student Patricia Mann and her boyfriend Jesse McBane vanished after a Valentine’s dance—only to be found murdered days later in the woods outside Durham, North Carolina. More than 50 years later, their case remains unsolved, shadowed by lack of communication across multiple agencies working the case. Three suspects endure: two doctors whose stories never quite added up, and one local scoundrel with a troubling history. Join The Spooky Darlings as we retrace the couple’s final hours and examine the suspicious behavior of three suspects who were never fully cleared.  Sources:  https://www.newsobserver.com/news/local/community/durham-news/article10293734.html#storylink=cpy The Long Dance Podcast https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murders_of_Patricia_Mann_and_Jesse_McBane nc.gov https://orangecountync.gov/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=66&ARC=79#:~:text=Incredibly%2C%20the%20podcast%20has%20resurrected,attacker%2C%20suffering%20permanent%20nerve%20damage. https://www.newsoforange.com/news/article_b9e5fb30-377c-11e8-89de-2f9c73bd334f.html https://www.foxnews.com/us/person-of-interest-eyed-in-42-year-old-cold-case-murder-of-young-n-c-couple Message us!
