    Episode 40: Jackalope

    Half rabbit, half antelope—and all mischief. This week, we dig into one of America’s most enduring mythological mashups: the jackalope. Beloved hoax? Ancient cryptid? Viral taxidermy? We trace the jackalope’s strange evolution—from drunken Wyoming prank to echoes of medieval horned hares and Mesoamerican myths. With antlers on its head, a taste for whiskey, and the uncanny ability to mimic human speech, the jackalope straddles the line between folklore and Frankenstein taxidermy. Plus: its bizarre mating habits, ancient global cousins like the Wolpertinger and Al-Mi'raj, and the virus that might explain everything. Strap in for antlers, absurdity, and a surprising amount of historical receipts.

    Episode 36: La Llorona

    A chilling wail in the night. A ghostly figure by the water’s edge. A legend that spans generations and cultures. In this episode of Creatures Unknown, we explore the terrifying story of La Llorona, the vengeful spirit cursed to wander the earth in search of her drowned children. From her tragic origins in Mexican folklore to eerie encounters reported across the Americas, La Llorona has haunted the dreams of children and adults alike for centuries. Is she a cautionary tale, a restless ghost, or something even more sinister? We’ll dive into regional variations, historical connections to Aztec mythology, and real-life encounters that will send shivers down your spine. Lock your doors, stay away from the riverbanks, and whatever you do—don’t follow the sound of her cries.
