Grab a cold one and settle in, because this week on Kraken Cans Cast, we’re heading deep into the West Virginia hills to uncover the eerie legend of the Flatwoods Monster. What began as a fiery streak across the sky on September 12th, 1952, turned into one of the strangest—and most debated—series of cryptid encounters ever reported.
We walk through all three of the infamous sightings tied to the Flatwoods case, starting with the terrifying tale of the May brothers and their squad of small-town investigators (including the real MVP, their dog Ritchie). From there, we dive into two more creepy encounters that only deepen the mystery: new witnesses, new details, and more questions about what exactly landed on G. Bailey Fisher’s farm that night.
Expect glowing eyes, chemical fog, a towering figure with a spade-shaped head, and the kind of small-town chaos that only happens when kids, UFOs, and monsters collide. We also hit you with our signature folklore score and—of course—a beer pairing that is a first for the cast.
So turn off the lights, shine your flashlight into the woods, and crack a can with us as we ask: What the hell happened in Flatwoods?

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
