Ep. 35 Hellhounds - The Black Shuck

Creatures and Curiosities ·

2025/08/15

In this week's episode, we'll be talking about a canine breed from Hell, known as Hellhounds. This is definitely not a dog you walk up to and pet. In fact, if you see one, you may just lose your life. They are believed to be dogs that serve demons and they hunt souls to take them to Hell. The old adage, "his bark is worse than his bite" does not hold true with this guy. Though his howl is bone chilling, he is known to shred his victim to pieces in order to collec...

Ep. 32 Thunderbirds - The Winged Spirit

Creatures and Curiosities ·

2025/07/04

In this week's episode, we'll be talking about the massive winged creature known as the Thunderbird. From Native American lore, this creature ruled the skies and the upper world as a God in animal form. In cryptozoology, the Thunderbird could be a remnant of the Teratorns, which have been extinct for over 10,000 years.

Ep. 31 Ouija Board - Zozo's Playground

Creatures and Curiosities ·

2025/06/20

In this week's episode, we'll be talking about a spirit board, or talking board, known to most as the Ouija Board. This "game" was designed to communicate with the dead, but it has proven time and time again that it's really just evil entities playing with you. The concept of the board is simple, but what you conjure up may be way more than you anticipated. Be very careful and hope that you don't encounter ZoZo!!

This little humanoid used to be a prankster, but now he just wants to see you end up dead. Whether it's by poison arrow, spear, knife or luring you to a cliff or other dangerous place, rest assured he only wants the worst for you. Listen in to learn more ab...

Ep. 29 Black Eyed Children - If Eyes Could Kill

Creatures and Curiosities ·

2025/05/23

In this week's episode, we'll be talking about the Black Eyed Children (Black Eyed Kids). These creepy kids have a knack for showing up when you least expect them, then they ask for some type of assistance, be it using a phone or getting a ride. They need your permission to enter your home or vehicle (much like the lore of Vampires). But make no mistake, if you allow them entry, there may be some tragic consequences. Be very careful if a child you don't know asks for h...

In this week's episode, we'll be talking about the Three Legged Woman of Nash Road in Mississippi. Stories will vary, but this ghostly entity has sewn another leg onto her hip. Was it the leg of her lover, her husband or her daughter? We may never know the whole story, but if you drive out to Nash Road and summon her, she just may appear and you can ask her for yourself. That is, if you have the guts. She's awfully scary looking and has quite the temper. Sh...

Ep. 25 Alabama White Thang - Ain't no Bigfoot

Creatures and Curiosities ·

2025/03/28

In this week's episode, we'll be talking about the Alabama White Thang, often referred to as a white or albino Bigfoot. We don't believe it is a Bigfoot, as it has been described differently by most that have seen it. Sometimes described as having the head of a bear, a wolf, a lion or feline, or a combination of one or more. It has also been seen running on all fours. The Thang seems to be roaming the tri-county areas between Morgan, Etowah and Jefferson, but has been ...
