In this episode of Kraken Cans Cast, we dive hairy knuckles-first into the terrifying and bizarre legend of La Mano Peluda—the severed, hairy hand that’s haunted generations across Latin America. From its origins as a spooky bedtime threat to full-blown ghost stories featuring poisoned fingernails, eyeball-snatching, and cursed pawn shop owners, this legend is no joke… unless you’re Mike, who thinks blaming the Hook Man for “parking” is a valid strategy.
We explore versions from Mexico, Colombia, and even Dartmoor, England (yes, apparently hairy ghost hands drive stick in the UK too). So crack a cold one, keep your feet under the covers, and pray you don’t feel a hairy hand creeping up the side of your bed tonight.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
