Cracking Cryptids and Curios

Join us as we explore news articles about a Loch Ness jamboree of amateur monster hunters, the possibility of Edgar Allen Poe being a time traveler, a creature spotted in Texas that looks like nothing ever seen, and a deep dive into the predictions of Baba Vanga. Along the way we discover Headless Belmmyes, Baba's animal-humans, and most of all, discoveries about ourselves. Get it while it's hot! This is our final news episode!

Ever be visited by a tall man with honey-colored eyes and white hair nearly down to the ankles who refers to himself as Herulayka, who then requests you build a 22 foot tall pyramid? Well Raymundo Coronas claims to have! Join us as we explore this curious structure created by a farmer in Mexico and see how this ranks in our listings! 

Suffering succotash - we have discuss the Wedge of Aiud. Not the Angle of Aiud, nor the Hedge of Aiud, or even the Sloped Object of Aiud. The real deal Wedge. This item, found next to some wonderous mastodon bones gives many people pause; how could a clearly modern object be residing next to a dead mastodon!? Could it be... aliens!?

Opps! All fire! Throughout human history there are examples of all sorts of fires that are just so stubborn they just won't go out! This episode we look at the curious coal fire underneath a Pennsylvania town that just won't sputter out, no matter how many millions of dollars gets thrown at it. 

Horse wombs - also known as nature's gift box. This episode Matt and Angel investigate the alchemical wonder-child known as the homunculus and all it's horse womb shenanigans. Alchemists, where would we be today with out them?

News, its what's for dinner! Well, not really, but we consume the news. I guess that's different than eating it? This episode we look into a man who believes he is a ghost and invades a home, witches caught eating a deer on a trail cam, recycling pig blood into water, and the mirror world study in which if you believe in yourself you too can be psychic! 

Hot dog! We have it all this episode! 3200 year old cheese! Butters preserved in bogs! Sarcophagus juice! And people want to eat all of these!? Join us in this, frankly, unhinged discussion of curious foods aged with... time? 

Sleep Demons. As the ol' saying goes - can't live with them; can't live without them. These little buggers just love to watch us sleep and then deliver a super dosage of dread and despair. How nice of them! Matt and Angel discuss the various forms of sleep demons, their own personal experiences, and even dreams that induce vomiting! 

Remember a time when books were written on finely prepared animal membranes? That's insane... on the animal membrane.

What does any of this mean!?

Whoa boy... the color blue didn't exist in ancient times? Hold onto your butt as we explore this theory and also discuss concepts that don't exist now but likely will in the next 50 years. This episode spans all of human history and then some! Wow! 

What's that? Weird things keep happening in the news? Who knew!? Join as as we investigate the weird: a man who lives in a cave for over a decade, how much fun it is to eat dog food, time travelers on social media, and the Colombian School-girl past time of playing with Ouija Boards! Wow, that is a wide spectrum of weird!  

Teeth. They are valuable. Humans want them in their mouth and the Tooth Fairy wants them for... well... what does the Tooth Fairy want teeth for? Join us as we investigate this enamel entrepreneur to figure out once and for all what the tooth agenda is! 

1876. What a year! Meat fell from the sky! In this episode, we try to figure out why. And why people in 1876 would eat meat that fell from the sky! We also try to put ourselves in the shoes of everyone who experienced it in the only way we know how - by readying a play made by an artificial intelligence. 

Doppelgangers. Doppelgangdudes. Doppelgangsters. What ever you call them, beware! These insidious duplicates may just be out there to ruin your life! Or just inconvenience you. Or not really interact with you at all. So maybe they are just really unpredictable! Join Matt and Angel as they investigate various levels of doppelgangers, discuss their own doppelgangers, and so much more!

Deja Vu. The story of the Lake Tota Monster goes back centuries... or does it? Join us as we investigate this lake monster, in the fabled Lake Monster episode! 

Mermaids. Innocent tricksters or malicious demons!? The thin line between those is apparently blurred in the salty seas of the world. Around the globe, cultures have stories of mermaids which have given us a story as old as recorded time! Join us as we dive deep and gorge ourselves until we are full to the gills with mermaid lore. 

The news just won't stop! This time Matt and Angel look at Black Eyed Children in the news, a man who makes "Frankenstein Warriors" out of dead bugs, human-sharks, and reports of an alien-like deep sea shark that took the internet by storm. Jawsome!
