Well, its the holiday season, and we were feeling the spirit of Christmas a little too hard this week. So as a festive treat, we're covering one of the most brutal pieces of winter folklore out there. This story has everything. Masks, unbaptized ghost babies, and disembowelment. This week we are discovering...Frau Perchta and the Perchten!

This week Sarge is MIA but don't you worry because we got friend of the show Nick Einstman filling in to discuss what is probably the most well known haunted object in the world...the Dybbuk Box!

This week Sarge and Dave are joined by Andrew and Jordan of the A Better Way 2A podcast to discuss one of the wildest cryptid stories we have ever covered. Now, we say that a lot but this story is all over the place, from wrecked cars, armed townsfolk, all the way to Vegas bookies. This week, we're talking The Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp!

You guys remember that time when everyone was losing their collective minds over aliens at that mall in Miami? No? Most don't, but for a hot minute it was the only thing people on TikTok and reddit were talking about. So we figured, fuck it, lets get Jess and Janice or Haunted By on the show to talk about it wayyyy past the point when it was actually relevant. This week, were diving into the Miami Mall Incident!

Be sure to check out Haunted By wherever you get your podcasts and be sure to give them a follow on Instagram here

This week we continue our yokai journey and dive into one of Japans most terrifying legends: The Gashadokuro. A massive, rage filled skeleton made from the bones of the forgotten dead. We cover its origins, its behaviors, and where it fits into modern culture. So sit back, grab a go-gurt, and enjoy

Welcome back to another installment of Yokai Cocktail Party! This week Dave decides to actually explain just what the hell a yokai is and then immediately proceeds to tell Sarge the lore about what can only be described as an absolute nightmare...the shapeshifting spider woman known as the Jorogumo! Enjoy.

Welcome back to another episode of Cryptid Cocktail Party! This week, Dave makes his triumphant return to the show and brings with him some special guests, Tyler and Charlie, hosts of Believing The Bizarre to discuss one of Japan's most famous yokai...the kappa!

Dave is still gone and Sarge has gone feral. Amanda and Cam join the show to discuss the perils of hiking in Russia, terrible Italian alcohol, and shapeshifters?
