For Halloween and the podcast’s first anniversary I dedicate this special episode to cryptids! Bigfoot, Mothman, Wendigos and Loch Ness Monsters. Where do these stories come from? How can cryptozoologists prove they are real? Using research from folklore researchers, historians and animal researchers, I take a closer look into the world of hidden animals.
Research from this episode:
Going to the Source: Volume 1 to 1877 by Victoria Bissell Brown and Timothy J. Shannon
Cryptozoology in the Medieval and Modern Worlds by Peter Dendle
The Okapi Conservation Project
Legendary Cryptids that Turned Out to be Real on iO9.
