Castles & Cryptids Alanna and Kelsey

Ok, we could have called this episode a pseudoscience and a psychic horse, but I liked the alliteration so there we are. We love any fringe science, powerwe don't quite understand and stories about wild history with a dash of animal hijinks. This one has it all!
So grab your furry friends and a nice apple for two wild rides!
Kelsey covered the history of lie detector tests and their rise and fall in the courts and what we think of them today. We pick apart the science from the not- so science parts of the polygraph machine.
And Alanna comes in clutch with a 1920's story of a mind-reading mare from Richmond, Virginia. Could her spot-on predictions be truly a sixth sense? We sure wish we had her inside sport's knowledge, maybe she talked to the racehorses and got the edge...

Hope you enjoy, and, hey(or should I say neigh?), let us know, we aren't psychic! So drop us a rating and refer a friend! Keep it Cryptic!

Alanna covers the tragic case of Shanquella Robinson, where what should be an amazing trip to Mexico with friends has unexpected consequences for all those involved. How does a video come into play, well you'll have to listen to find out. Until next time, keep it cryptic!

(Hey Cryptic Cuties, so sorry this is out a little late, it was my birthday yesterday and I did not get my editing done. I know I'm a bad girl, ironically we talk about late episodes at the end of the recording, how odd!! Hope you forgive me my sins lol)

Happy Freaky Friday, let's see how well you know your fairies! But be warned, most are not teacup-sized or full of pure goodness and pixie dust! Don't worry, we get to the pixies too.

Kelsey teaches an overview of the motley crew of fey-type creatures in New Zealand! Cliff notes: some are big and very hairy indeed! Not all look like Legolas, oh no!

Alanna's fairy feature starts with chicken-riding creatures and gets weirder as we go along! Sort of an A-Z of our favorite finds in fairy lore across the world. So get out your glitter and let's talk f*cked up fairies!
