S5 Episode 102 THE LAKE WORTH MONSTER AKA “GOATMAN”

It is time for a little cryptid lore as Kat, Jen, and Christina discuss the Lake Worth Monster.

Tonight’s show topic was suggested by Kat's friend and fellow cartoonist, Jason Poland, who creates the comic My Dad is Dracula (@mydadisdracula). A fellow cryptid enthusiast and a resident of the great state of Texas, he thought the Goatman was a good addition to the show. Thanks Jason!

Episode 103: The Last Ghost Hunt at Bobby Mackey's

EPISODE 104: BURIED ALIVE
During the late Victorian Era, the fear of being buried alive was very much real. Waves of cholera epidemics ravaged North America and Europe, leaving victims in near-dead states. Mirroring the concerns of the time, rumors spread about people being buried alive, so much so that many “safety coffins” and other graveside alerts were invented and implemented to prevent premature burial for the most decerning, and wealthy, of the Victorian Age. 

One such tall tale is that of Octavia Smith Hatcher of Pikeville, Kentucky. Whose death and burial have become a staple of Appalachian folk history. 

 Join Kat, Jen, and Christina for tonight's exciting episode! Have your safety coffin on standby!

Episode 107: The Ohio Grassman

Episode 108: The Faceless Woman of the Woods

Outside of Mammoth Cave in Southern Kentucky is the small unincorporated town of Chalybeate in Edmonson, County. It is a sleepy town, too small even to have its own post office. But there is one resident who has never left, she lurks in the forests around the town as a reminder of a bygone era- the Faceless Woman of the Woods.

Kat, Jen, and Christina discuss con experiences, horror movies, and the Faceless Woman.

Episode 110: Do You Dare? Halloween Graveyard Dares

Episode 112: UFO Chase

It is 5 in the morning when two Portage County Ohio sheriff deputies stop at the side of the road to investigate an abandoned car. Suddenly, they hear this strange humming noise, and when they turn around a giant UFO is hovering overhead. The UFO rises from behind the trees and hovers over them, drenching the ground around them in light. 

Kat, Jen, and Christina discuss the UFO chase that inspired Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
