Classic Episode: The Lizardman
A release of our 2022 episode featuring the Lizardman: A rural South Carolina town is struck by cryptid fever in the form of a seven-foot-tall lizard with a taste for cars. . . specifically, for chewing on them. Once a local teenager is chased down by the Lizardman, locals all over Bishopville and the greater Lee County area spot lizard tracks and possible Lizardman attacks. But is it all just a hoax? Or, perhaps, the work of another cryptid altogether?

The Tramping Ground
In rural North Carolina, there's a circle of earth known as the Devil's Tramping Ground where nothing grows. It's been there a long time — and why it exists is down to either the unexplainable… or the satanic.

The Wonder Horse
In a dark period of American history, an unexpected hero lifted spirits and predicted the results of horse races. Lady Wonder, a chestnut-brown horse, could do it all: spell, read minds, and see into the future. And people went all in — even when she picked up some unusual extracurriculars.

The Cure
Mercy Brown, Rhode Island vampire—allegedly so—is considered to be the last of the state's unfortunate focal points in its 19th century vampire panics; but like so many other supernatural superstitions we dig into, there's much more beneath the surface. The Exeter Vampire panic is more complex, and perhaps distorted, than we've been led to believe. . .all through haze of the horror of the plague of tuberculosis.

A Very Haunted Crossover: Two Girls Tell Us About One Strange Ghost
This week, we're bringing you a full-length bonus crossover episode with our friends Corrine and Sabrina, hosts of Two Girls One Ghost -- AKA, the most haunted podcast in America.

Really, it's a very good time. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did. We visited their show to tell one of your favorite unexplained stories, so be sure to go check it out! You can find Two Girls One Ghost wherever you listen to podcasts—listen if you dare. You can find their show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and every other platform!
