Humid, Hot and Hairy

Ever wonder what could be hiding in the Florida Everglades? 🐊🌿 This week, we're diving into the legend of the Skunk Ape. Is it just an escaped exotic animal... or something else roaming Florida's vast, undeveloped wilderness? Mackenzie continues her Bigfoot mini-series with one of the most famous Bigfoot-like cryptids in the country. What do you think the Skunk Ape really is? 👣 https://www.ebsco.com/research-starters/social-sciences-and-humanities/skunk-ape-cryptozoology https://miamihaunts.com/the-everglades-skunk-ape/ https://www.skunkape.info/ https://cryptidz.fandom.com/wiki/Skunk_Ape https://blog.nwf.org/2026/05/youve-heard-of-bigfoot-what-about-floridas-skunk-ape/ https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/trail-floridas-bigfoot-skunk-ape-180949981/ https://www.countere.com/home/floridas-bigfoot-everglades-dave-shealy-legend-of-the-skunk-ape

The Water Dwelling Boogeyman

Happy Pride, everyone! 🌈 Starting this episode off with a side conversation: How do you think cryptids would identify? Let us know in the comments! This week, we dive into the legend of the Qallupilluit, an Inuit myth said to snatch children away beneath the ice. Often described as a terrifying mermaid or Arctic boogeyman, no one really knows what happens to the children it takes... So what do you think? Is the Qallupilluit a grieving spirit searching for lost children, or a demonic entity that takes them to stay young? And most importantly, what would you rate the Qallupilluit?

It's all knocks and hollows

Ever wondered what’s lurking deep in the woods? 🌲 Imagine a giant, silent figure watching you, nine feet tall, covered in hair, and gone before you can snap a picture. This week, Mackenzie kicks off her Bigfoot mini-series with the Grassman, one of the most intriguing Bigfoot-like creatures reported across the Midwest. Do you think something is really out there? 👣 https://astonishinglegends.com/astonishing-legends/2018/10/21/ohio-grassman https://thehorrorcollection.com/complete-guide-to-ohio-bigfoot-sightings/ https://www.reddit.com/r/bigfoot/comments/1rq28w8/urgent_6_bigfoot_sightings_in_4_days_across/

Dance with the Deer Woman

You spot a woman standing alone in a field, mesmerized by her big brown eyes. But then you glance down... Those aren't feet they're deer hooves. 🦌 This is the legend of the Deer Woman. Will you stop to help her... or will she stomp you? What would you rate the Deer Woman?

How do you "accidentally" release a bioweapon?

On this episode, we travel to Plum Island to dig into the mysterious experiments and events that may have created the Montauk Monster. 👀 We dive into government conspiracy theories, alleged CIA involvement in bioweapons research, Operation Mongoose, African Swine Fever, Lyme disease, and so much more. You know Casey loves a good government conspiracy… just wait until she brings up the pigeons 😂 This one gets weird fast.

Cannibalism and Culinary Choices

On this episode, we return to William T. Cox’s Fearsome Creatures of the Lumberwoods to learn about the Gumberoo—a bear-like cryptid that can only be killed by one thing… fire. 🔥 Like most of our conversations, this one somehow takes a side road into cannibalism and flesh pedestrians before Casey brings us back with another strange creature: the Nandi Bear. But is the Nandi Bear really a cryptid… or just a giant ground sloth? 👀 Join us as we dive into lumberjack legends, bizarre cryptids, and the questionable paths our conversations always seem to take 😂 What would you rate the Gumberoo and the Nandi Bear?

Little Wild Men of the Woods

In this episode, we dive into the strange world of Pukwudgies, exploring their origins, behavior, and the creepy encounters people have had with them. All while trying to convince Mackenzie not to run off into the woods to catch one 😂 https://www.native-languages.org/pukwudgie.htm https://homespunhaints.com/what-is-a-pukwudgie https://theportalist.com/what-is-a-pukwudgie https://newenglandfolklore.blogspot.com/2019/01/two-encounters-with-pukwudgies-in.html https://historymadereal105.substack.com/p/e-wah-chu-encounters-with-massachusetts https://indianahistory.org/blog/pukwudgies-and-where-to-find-them/mounds

Whistle and Summon the Wampahoofus?

On this episode, we’re talking about the Wampashoofus—a strange creature said to be half deer, half boar, roaming the mountains of Vermont. 🌲 The Wampashoofus is yet another legend born from lumberjack tales, and this one gets weird. It supposedly has legs that are two different lengths, brightly colored fur, and… somehow… a whistle on the end of its tail.. That last part is still confusing to me. Anyway, let us know: what would you rate the Wampashoofus?
