Greg's Cryptid Corner

This week we're hanging out on the side of Lake Ontario while discussing Toronto's own cryptid, the Tunnel Monster of Cabbagetown. Join us to learn about this one-off cryptid's encounter with a man named Ernest, but stick around as we discuss our favorite cabbage recipes and forget the James McAvoy's name. Is the TMOC a random sewer-dwelling man, or does it have a connection to the history of the area?! Curl up ...

This week we're staying local to discuss the global Black Stick Men phenomenon. As if a kid's drawing or the bathroom sign gender identifier stepped out of its 2D world and entered our reality, the Black Stick Men can pop up anywhere. Though these cryptids seem simple, we get into discussions about simulation theory, lower dimensionality, Gumby, shadow people comparisons, and video game animation bones!

This week we're going international again and making camp on Umboi Island off the coast of Papa New Guinea! While sampling the local fruits, we discuss the Ropen, another giant flying cryptid that emits light (but not exactly like the Van Meter Visitor). We dig into its characteristics and eating habit before tripping into a discussion about Young Earth Creationism and how the Ropen itself opens up the possibility for a 6,000 ...

This week we're in the beautiful Walnut Woods State Park to discuss the mysterious monster that terrorized the town of Van Meter, Iowa for 5 nights! Come learn about the escalation of the sightings and how the town reacted, and get a lesson in Kangaroo anatomy while you're here! There's no need for a lantern out in the woods this week when we've got an 8-foot, bat-winged, glowing-horned cryptid on the loose!

This week we’re in Louisiana, Missouri to learn about Momo, the pumpkin-headed, six-toed, dog-killing, sandwich-stealing, seven-foot-tall, stinky Bigfoot that terrorized the neighborhood! Could it be a bear? Or a couple kids on each other’s shoulders Little Rascals-style? Come along on our journey with the Missouri Monster!

We take a trip to Adirondack Park in upstate New York to learn about surviving against the fiercest of the Fearsome Creatures of the Lumberwoods! What three creatures do I consider to be the fiercest? Why is Dan upset I left some creatures of the list? And do we want MORE Fearsome Creatures?! Check out the episode to find out!

This week we’re outside the city of Southend-On-Sea in jolly old England! The travel arrangements were questionable for Dan and Eric, but we dive into the two origin stories of a Ratman in a pedestrian tunnel. This all leads to discussions of Sean Bean, cannibalism, and the systemic othering of the unhoused to divide the working class and keep the ruling class in power. But we talk about it all in a fun way!

Welcome to the first episode of Greg's Cryptid Corner! Today we're camping outside of Flatwoods, West Virginia. We'll figure out where we all fall on the cryptid-believer scale, and then discuss the Flatwoods Monster incident of 1952, metal dresses, and 50s sci-fi tropes, all while tripping through the mend-bending concepts of ultradimensionality and the superspectrum. Come along with us on our first outing into the ...
