Creature Feature With Nyx

Nyx Nocturne

Greetings, mortals! Welcome to Creature Feature with Nyx, the cryptid and folklore podcast hosted by an actual creature. Nyx is a tiny void demon cat who crawled out of the abyss to set the record straight about her monster friends. Every Thursday, she digs into a different cryptid, legend, or haunting, from Mothman and the Jersey Devil to ghost stories, yokai, and strange lights in the sky. We'll explore where each legend came from, the sightings and the evidence, what the skeptics say, and what Nyx really thinks (she's probably met them). Every creature gets an official Monster Rating, and every episode ends with Tales from the Imps, where Nyx reads real spooky stories sent in by listeners. Part investigation, part comedy, and all spooky, it's for anyone who loves cryptids, folklore, paranormal mysteries, and the things that go bump in the night. New episodes every Thursday. Watch the video version on YouTube, or listen here. Have a strange encounter or a hometown legend? Send it to creaturefeaturewithnyx@gmail.com and it could be featured on the show! Stay curious, stay spooky, and don't stare into the void... she's staring back. 🖤

    Creature Feature Ep.4— Yokai Cats: The Bakeneko and the Nekomata

    In old Japan, a cat that lived long enough might stop being just a cat. It could walk on two legs, speak, shapeshift, grow a second tail... and sneak out at night to dance with a towel on its head. 🐈‍⬛This week, Nyx meets the family: the bakeneko and nekomata of Japanese folklore. We explore how old cats were believed to transform, a monk's terrifying (and hilarious) encounter with a "nekomata," the vengeful Nabeshima cat, and the kasha, a fiery cat yokai said to steal bodies from funerals.Plus why cats inspired so many spooky stories, the lucky maneki-neko, an island where cats outnumber people, the Monster Rating, and Nyx's very awkward family reunion with her two-tailed aunties.📬 Send your spooky stories: creaturefeaturewithnyx@gmail.com☕ Feed the void on Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/creaturefeaturewithnyx🎥 Watch the video version on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@creaturefeaturewithnyx🖤 Find Nyx everywhere: @creaturefeaturewithnyxNew episodes every Thursday.

    Creature Feature Ep.3 — The Bell Witch: America's Most Famous Haunting

    A voice in the dark that sang hymns, gossiped about the neighbors, and pulled the blankets off sleeping children. 👻 This week, Nyx faces her greatest fear: a ghost story. We head to Adams, Tennessee, in the early 1800s, where the Bell family's farm became the site of what many call America's most famous haunting. It started with a strange creature in a cornfield. Then came the knocking, the scratching, the gnawing on the bedposts, and the covers sliding off the beds in the night. Then the spirit began to speak. It quoted scripture, repeated two sermons word for word, brought snacks to the people it liked, tormented the people it didn't, and swore over and over that it would kill John Bell. We dig into the voice that called itself "Kate," the real neighbor who got blamed for it, Betsy Bell's broken engagement, and the death of John Bell in 1820. Then it's investigation time: where the story actually comes from, whether Andrew Jackson really ran from the Bell Witch, and the theories people have argued about for two hundred years. Plus Nyx's Verdict and the Monster Rating. And in Tales from the Imps: the New York house that a court ruled was legally haunted, the Brown Lady of Raynham Hall and one of the most famous ghost photos ever taken, and the night Nyx tried to become a poltergeist. It did not go well. 📚 SOURCES AND FURTHER READING M. V.
