2026/10/08

This past weekend, the Kraken Cans crew packed up and made the 6.5-hour trip to Ada, Ohio for the Ohio Bigfoot Jamboree 2026 — and holy crap, what a weekend. This was our first time attending the Jamboree, hosted by our friends at Cryptids of the Corn, and we had an absolute blast. From finally meeting some of our podcast friends in person, to a VIP night at the bowling alley, way too much cold weather, a podcast panel, questionable sleeping arrangements, and a whole lot of hanging out with s...

2026/10/06

For Part 2 of our Conjuring Quadfecta, we’re heading across the pond to North London for one of the most famous—and controversial—poltergeist cases in paranormal history: the Enfield haunting. In 1977, strange things began happening inside the Hodgson family’s home on Green Street. Furniture allegedly moved on its own, knocking sounds echoed through the house, objects were thrown, and one of the Hodgson children, Janet, appeared to become the focus of something far more disturbing. The case e...

2026/10/01

We’ll explore where this ridiculous bit of American folklore comes from, the story behind the furry fish, and why anyone would need a trout with a built-in winter coat. Along the way, we'll throw in a few theories, questionable science, and the kind of nonsense that makes these old lumberjack tales so much fun. Is the Fur-Bearing Trout an actual creature? Almost certainly not. Could there be a perfectly reasonable explanation? Maybe. Would a furry trout make an excellent pet? Absolutely not. ...

We’re kicking off our Quadfecta with one of the most famous haunted houses in America — the real-life Conjuring House in Harrisville, Rhode Island. Before Hollywood turned the story into The Conjuring, the Perron family claimed they experienced years of strange and terrifying activity inside the home. In Part 1, we dive into the history of the house, the Perron family, the alleged paranormal activity, and how Ed and Lorraine Warren became involved. How much of the story is true, and how much ...

Two separate reports in Pennsylvania describe small, upright, hairy creatures—including one encounter involving TWO mini-Bigfoots that were apparently running around and making baby-like noises. Then there's the bizarre "Syracuse Figure" spotted wading in a New York pond. Was it a juvenile Bigfoot, something else entirely, or just an elderly skinny-dipper who accidentally found himself at the center o...

In 1973, 11-year-old Fay and her 10-year-old friend Bobby were playing near Sandown on the Isle of Wight when they heard a strange sound coming from the countryside.
