    Episode 29: The Mothman

    Rachel is either crazy or in love...maybe both. Today, Rachel tells the story, origin, major sightings, and cultural relevance of her favorite cryptid: Mothman. From a massive wingspan tacked onto a man-like body to disappearing dogs and shining red eyes, this creepy boy lives rent free in our minds, and he is welcome to stay. We love him. Except for the fact that he tends to be a bad omen of tragedies to come...
