Mongolian Death Worm... That’s what she said.

Friday Sep 23, 2022
Yeah, yeah, terrible joke aside, this is a topic that's been on my radar for a while, and now I can say I've covered the Mongolian Death Worm, even though it's a bit of a misnomer. The MDW is not quite a worm... well, it's not quite anything, really. It's a sausage like, blood filled intestine looking creature with a toothy maw on either end, and it grows to about five feet long, which doesn't exactly scream terrifying, BUT, I guess if it's a worm that big, it's a little off-putting. I mean, five feet is sort of in that range where it's not scary, but not cute, but I digress.
Many have tried to capture some evidence of this elusive beast, but so far none have succeeded, even if one of those intrepid adventurers dedicated decades to the hunt. He determined that it must be little more than a myth. But what do you think? Some cryptids seem, plausible, and some seem out of left field: where do you think the Mongolian Death Worm falls?

The Sad Story of The Lady of The Dunes
Saturday Sep 10, 2022
Saturday Sep 10, 2022
Sadly, back in 1974 a woman's body was found in the dunes of Provincetown, Massachusetts, which by some accounts is a sleepy little town. On of top of the body being found, it was found by a 12 year old girl who chased a neighborhood dog off the trail. Even sadder still is that the woman is called The Lady of The Dunes to this day. Why? Well, not only was her killer never found - she was never truly found. Handless and nearly decapitated, the poor girl was never identified, and it's terribly difficult to catch a killer when you don't even know who it was that had been killed.
The details of her death are fairly brutal, and the fact that she'd never been identified is truly disturbing and heartbreaking. A soul snuffed out, and a body buried with no name. I can't think of much sadder. There had been theories a plenty about what happen and who she was. Author Joe Hill even tossed a theory around that included the movie Jaws. Other's believed she was taken out by Whitey Bulger. However, none of these theories could be substantiated in anyway.

She’s a mighty fine (Ghost) Ship, that Queen Mary
Thursday Sep 01, 2022
Thursday Sep 01, 2022
So sorry for the hiatus, but I'm back... for now! And I'm back with a brand new episode for you to enjoy, I hope. Today's episode is a listener request! I love when you reach out, so be sure to do it! I don't bite, unless you ask me to, but that request should go to a different email. There may also be an exchange in currency... But podcast topic requests are freeeee!
Today we're talking about the Queen Mary, a ship that made the Titanic look like a little wuss. She's a biggin that made over 1000 North Atlantic trips, and any good sailor will tell you that's a terrible route. I know because a sailor on a TV show said that once. So, total expert here. Anyway, in the 60's she retired and became a hotel and museum. Oh, and she's haunted, naturally.
Housing over 150 ghosts and/or spirits, its regarded as one of the most haunted locations in the world. But is it really all it's cracked up to be? I don't know, you be the judge!

It’s The Midsummer... Update!
Sunday Jul 31, 2022
Sunday Jul 31, 2022
Hey all! My lack of uploads lately can be attributed to one thing. A little demon of pure evil! Merlin, the Cockapoo. Yeah, a puppy. Anybody who's ever had one knows exactly what I'm talking about. He's a terror, but I'm determined to make him the best little guy in the world. But until then, he's taking all of my waking, non-working hours. So the podcast will be on a bit of a hiatus. But thank you for sticking with me!

Dream a Little Dream...
Saturday Jul 09, 2022
Saturday Jul 09, 2022
Ah yes, one of the weirdest things to happen to the human body since puberty, the dream. For as long as humans have been around, dreams have been right there baffling them to an unheard of degree. Hell, it's 2022, and dreams still confuse the crap out of me. But with that said, people as far back as ancient Greece (and probably before that) had their own thoughts on what dreams meant.
From prophecies to omens, dreams meant a few different things, depending on who was studying them. As far as technology and science has come, dreams are still a bit of a mystery. Sure, we know why we have them, and what causes them in a scientific sense, but is there a meaning behind them? Can one really predict future events just by dreaming about it? Who knows! That's half the fun, having that little mystery linger over us when we dream about a humanoid cat chef, in an apron cooking a meal made of pillows.

Man-Creatures! The Owlman of Mawnan
Thursday Jun 30, 2022
Thursday Jun 30, 2022
On this podcast we don't discriminate based on anything: race, religion, sexual orientation, or cryptid. That's right, all cryptids are treated as equals here, including the lesser known Owlman of Mawnan. Now, given my affinity for owls, I'm surprised, and frankly disappointed in myself that I'd not heard of this interesting little fella before. But, as my wife says a little too often: Better late than never.
Bad jokes aside, the Owlman of Mawnan is spotted in a very specific part of the English countryside in the Cornwall region. Even more specifically it's spotted around a couple of churched, St. Mawnan and St. Stephen's. So, what is it? By all accounts, it's roughly a four foot tall humanoid creature with very owl life features. It's never attacked or harmed a person, and generally just watches before flying off. Sure, it's spooky, but ultimately harmless.
Could it be related to the Mothman? Well, that's one theory. Aliens could also play a part in this mystery, but like most cryptids, we don't have a whole lot of evidence, other than a handful of sightings in a 20 year span.

Who Wore it First, Carmilla or Dracula?
Saturday Jun 18, 2022
Saturday Jun 18, 2022
It's an age old question that I just thought of. Carmilla was a novel written by Sheridan Le Fanu in 1871-ish, while Dracula had its run in 1897. So, I guess that answers that. Carmilla was indeed first, but in the grand scheme of things, does that make a huge difference? Both of these novels had their own influence and helped usher the vampire into the horror world. Both Stoker and Le Fanu were pioneers in the field of supernatural horror, and I'd rather not compare them, but rather celebrate both! How diplomatic of me, eh?

The Drums of A Poltergeist!
Monday Jun 13, 2022
Monday Jun 13, 2022
Okay, Okay, that title is a bit misleading. The drums didn't actually belong to a poltergeist... or did they? That's the question that plagued John Mompesson and his family back in 1661. The story goes that Mompesson was a magistrate and was quite disliked by people of lower stature in the time - the homeless, the nomadic peoples, etc... Well, one day he confiscated the drums of a vagrant by the name of William Drury. Wouldn't you know it, when John got home, the drums were at his home, waiting for him. He paid no mind to it at first, but then weird stuff started to happen.
You guessed it, the sound of drums began to play in the house, which were heard throughout the neighborhood as well. It all came to a head when John's kids became the target for the haunting. Beds, and well, people started to levitate, noised and moving objects plagued the family as well. It wasn't until Drury was shipped off to the colonies in North America that the activity stopped. Coincidence? Who knows. What happened to the Mompesson family? Was Drury really responsible? You'll just have to listen to find out!
