Encounters x278 - Not-Deer, Horrifying Cryptids and Ghosts in the TGOG Studio

We’re diving deep into the wild world of cryptid encounters. Eerie figures lurking in remote woods and mysterious animals that defy logic and biology, these stories will have you questioning what’s really out there. Whether it’s ancient legends or something altogether new, these encounters remind us that the forest keeps its secrets—and sometimes, it watches back. We’ll get into: A spooky night at a lake that turns into a full-blown horror movie, complete with skinny-dipping, a cursed graveyard, and a mysterious, towering figure that stalks the road. A "Not-Deer" sighting so uncanny, it had both witnesses—trained in biology—questioning everything they knew about wildlife. A haunted National Park in South Dakota where caves whisper ghost stories, and rangers keep a secret Google Doc of employee encounters. A day of mountain biking that ended in a call and response session with unidentified creatures. PLUS – our own haunted studio investigation! 👻   We grabbed the GhostTube app and did a mini-investigation of our podcast studio—where strange noises, flying dirt and Corinne’s terrified baby have made us question who else might be hanging around.
