Gargoyle Sightings: Legends, Modern Encounters, and Crackhead Theories
In this episode we get into the topic of gargoyles, exploring both historical legends and modern sightings. They begin with the 7th-century French legend of La Gargouille. The discussion then moves to modern sightings across the United States, including the 'Demon Leaper' in the 1880s, the 'Houston Gargoyle' encountered by NASA archivist Frank Shaw in 1986, and other witness accounts in various locations such as Minnesota, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Florida. We discuss possible explanations, ranging from cryptids and ultradimensional beings to the more humorous and hypothetical scenario involving crackheads with creative tendencies. The episode combines historical context, recent encounters, and lighthearted speculation, providing an entertaining yet eerie discussion on gargoyles.
