For centuries, sailors told stories of a monstrous creature rising from the deep — enormous tentacles wrapping around entire ships before dragging them beneath the waves. They called it The Kraken. But could there be truth behind the myth?

In this episode of Cryptid Files, host Paige Carter dives into the origins of the Kraken legend, tracing it from Norse mythology to modern oceanographic discoveries. Was this terrifying beast pure imagination… or the first eyewitness accounts of the real-life giant squid?

Explore the history, the eyewitness reports, and the scientific evidence that reveal how a myth became a marine mystery that still haunts the sea today.

Because some legends refuse to stay buried.
