Cryptids: The Flatwoods Monster & The Melonheads

You like creepy shit? You wanna hear about some cryptids? Cool, this is the episode for you then. Alaina brings us the real life experiences of those who have encountered the Flatwoods Monster, which resides in West Virginia. Was it extraterrestrial, was it the government, did it happen? Yes to all. Ash then dives into the legend of the Melonheads, a heartbreaking and terrifying tale all at the same time! Thank you to listeners Haley and Kristen for their stories about their experiences with these cryptids. If you want to send us a suggestion for a Cryptid to cover, or your experience with a cryptid in general send them in to [e-mail] with “Cryptid” somewhere in the subject line :)

The felt mansion

I’m loving your podcast! I just had to comment that I am a lover of all things creepy and spooky and I actually got married in the felt mansion! I did not have any creepy encounters that day (I was a little disappointed with this) but it is a beautiful place and gives off some major spook vibes!
