Episodes
This week we're in south central France to talk about the cryptid with the biggest body count so far on the show, the Beast of Gévaudan! We discuss the terror it raised in a few years of the 1700s and our theories on what it may or may not have been, talk way too much about Catholic sacraments, and figure out that we have a lot to learn about France itself! Pop on down by the fire for this spooky episode!
We're down in Kentucky this week discussing the oddly named Pope Lick Monster -- part man, part goat, all creepy! We take a look at his appearance and discuss three potential origin stories. So grab a seat by the fire and come learn about the Kentucky Goatman!

This week, we're hanging out in Java to discuss the Ahool -- a massive-winged bat-monkey! We discuss our own personal bat experiences, tell the story of Dr. Ernest Bartels' encounters with the cryptid, connect it to other flying monkeys, and swoon over the flying fox! Join us by the fire as we become bat-monkey-men!

This week we're in Fresno, California to discuss the high-waisted rise of the Fresno Nightcrawlers, a cryptid who's story stretches as long as their legs! Join us as we start the Nude Nightcrawler Foundation (NNF) to clothe nightcrawlers in need, debunk some videos, and imagine the creature in Betty Boop situation.

This week we're up in Northfield, Vermont and camping in a cave inside the Devils Washbowl! We discuss encounters with a potentially HUGE pig/man hybrid, and dig into the story of a young man who went missing on Mischief Night. Are these two things connected?! We also discuss Australia (again), stinky Saison beers, our pitch for an A24 Pigman movie, and Greg's ridiculous upspeak accent. So gather around the fire and get t...
In the GCC bonus series Campfire Tales, we discuss things that are a little off-kilter from just discussing a cryptid. And on this episode, Dan takes us on a trip through cryptotheology with the Mormom belief in Bigfoot! So come along and learn about Bigfoot's origin, get confused with too many Kimbles, and get your load of spaghetti at the last supper!

This week we're in Gambrill State Park in Frederick, Maryland to discuss the Snallygaster, a Germanic-inspired flying cryptid with tentacles on its face! We discuss its appearance and actions, and the legitimacy of newspaper reporting, as well as digging into the sad dark history of how Snallygaster was used to spread fear in the 18th and 19th centuries in America. So join us by the fire to learn about this East Coast cryptid!
This week we're off to the mountains of Peru to discuss a were-llama-incest-demon, the Jarjacha! We try to wrap our heads around the look of this creature, discuss reasons for eating brains, and put plans together for a new cryptid-fur clothing company!

Join us as we travel to Hopkinsville, Kentucky to learn about the 1955 encounter with little goblin creatures - potentially from space - and celebrate the 70th anniversary of the night that would change the lives of three families forever! Could it really have been an alien siege on a farmhouse, or could have it just have been a bunch of cats or owls that terrorized eleven people?! Pull up a seat by the campfire to find out!

This week we're hanging around Ranco Lake in Chile to discuss the flat-but-dangerous leather demon, El Cuero! While we wrap (pun fully intended) our heads around something being small but big and marvel at El Cuero's capabilities, we'll learn all about this amazing cryptid and discuss its similarities to fantastic segment "The Raft" in Creepshow 2! Join us on this trip down to South America!

This week we're in the big apple of New York City hanging out in the subway with our good friend Brendan (@dj_gogo_gorilla on instagram). We discuss the story of Ludwig the Bloodsucker, a vampire-ish man in the late 1800s who fed on drunks late at night. Was he real? Was he just an urban legend stemming from the fear of immigrants? Can you drunk by drinking a drunk person's blood?! Join us this week to find out!

This week we're in Harmonie State Park in Posey County, Illinois to discuss a peculiar three-legged creature that terrorized a small town by kind of just existing. We'll dive into our theories about what the creature could be, marvel at its ability to destroy a single child's shoe during an attack, and debate the efficacy of central air vs window a/c units. Join us by the fire for this new episode!

This week we're staying local in Eric's backyard because nothing is scarier than a monster that can pop up in your neighborhood! We're digging into a few of the spooky encounters with the Black-Eyed Kids and trying to answer the question: Who or what are the Black-Eyed Kids?! And what do they want from us?!

This week we're hanging out on the side of Lake Ontario while discussing Toronto's own cryptid, the Tunnel Monster of Cabbagetown. Join us to learn about this one-off cryptid's encounter with a man named Ernest, but stick around as we discuss our favorite cabbage recipes and forget the James McAvoy's name. Is the TMOC a random sewer-dwelling man, or does it have a connection to the history of the area?! Curl up ...
This week we're staying local to discuss the global Black Stick Men phenomenon. As if a kid's drawing or the bathroom sign gender identifier stepped out of its 2D world and entered our reality, the Black Stick Men can pop up anywhere. Though these cryptids seem simple, we get into discussions about simulation theory, lower dimensionality, Gumby, shadow people comparisons, and video game animation bones!

This week we're going international again and making camp on Umboi Island off the coast of Papa New Guinea! While sampling the local fruits, we discuss the Ropen, another giant flying cryptid that emits light (but not exactly like the Van Meter Visitor). We dig into its characteristics and eating habit before tripping into a discussion about Young Earth Creationism and how the Ropen itself opens up the possibility for a 6,000 ...
This week we're in the beautiful Walnut Woods State Park to discuss the mysterious monster that terrorized the town of Van Meter, Iowa for 5 nights! Come learn about the escalation of the sightings and how the town reacted, and get a lesson in Kangaroo anatomy while you're here! There's no need for a lantern out in the woods this week when we've got an 8-foot, bat-winged, glowing-horned cryptid on the loose!
