Counting Cryptids

S4 E8: Time Travelers It's time to come clean. The truth is Jacob and Connor are time travelers. They traveled back in time and under the moniker "What The? Podcast" they produced a shitty episode on time travelers. Now, in this alternative time line, the boys ban together to create an equally trashy episode and save the world as we know it from spiraling out of control.  Links: Counting Cryptids Youtube Channel

S4 E7: Skinwalker Ranch The first of what will probably be several episodes on the notorious Skinwalker Ranch.  Links: Counting Cryptids Youtube Channel

S4 E6: Pepie The Pepin Lake Monster According to local lore, a giant aquatic reptilian swims beneath the wake at Lake Pepin Minnesota. The 22-mile-long, 2-mile wide portion of the Mississippi River compares to Loch Ness in size but lacks the depth required to contain a creature the size of a plesiosaur. Is this some sort of tourist trap or a legitimate chance at being awarded $50,000? Find out right now on the latest installment of Counting Cryptids. Sorry it's been so long!

S4 E5: Gef The Talking Mongoose There's a-scratching in the walls. Now it's talking up a storm. Is it a weasel? Perhaps a spirit or poltergeist? Maybe the girl's a ventriloquist or the dog a prankster. Too bad we'll never know but there was certainly something going on in the farm house on the Isle Of Man.

S4 E3: Leprechauns on Saint Patrick's Day Top of the morning to ya! It was Saint Patty's Day when we recorded this and we were wearing green so you can't pinch us. Obviously we had to cover those cute little green men who's pots of gold are hidden at the end of the rainbow. They're tricky but the promise of wishes means we had to catch one. We were lucky enough on Counting Cryptids to have captured 2. What should we spend the wishes on?

S4 E2: North American Giant Sloths (A.K.A. Gorps) Giants sloths, or Megatherium, existed in the Americas for millions of years before prehistoric humans hunted them to death nearly 12,000 years ago. At least that's the story according to most academic scholars in the field. A few off hand sightings and encounters might suggest that the Megatherium still exist to this day. We'll take a peek at some of these stories then get off topic today on Counting Cryptids.

S4 E1: Spring-heeled Jack During the early 1800's, London experienced a series of attacks on young women by an entity later dubbed Spring-heeled Jack. Jack appeared to be a man, but was endowed with several supernatural abilities, such as having sharp, metallic claws on his hands, and having the ability to spit blue flames from his mouth, and on at least one occasion, was witnessed leaping over a 9 foot wall in a single bound. The authorities, desperate to catch this cloaked criminal, brought in suspect after suspect, but none were ever committed of these crimes.  So join us, as we discuss the legend of Spring-heeled Jack.

But, this episode revolves around the 9 foot tall hairless humanoid that inspired a portion of Bethesda's 2018 RPG. Was it just a monster pushing around a handcart loaded with boxes? Or was it really an alien that was dropped off by UFO's? Fuck if we know but we'll sit here and talk your ear off for about an hour. Sit back and enjoy the ride.

S3 E14: Ozark Howler This time, on Counting Cryptids: We discuss a large cat-like creature the known as the Ozark Howler. This thicc boy has glowing red eyes, horns, sounds like a combination of a wolf howl an elk bugle and the laugh of a hyena, and is as big as a bear. This creature is surrounded in mystery, from modern day news reports, to historic battles with folk heroes, and even presidential conspiracies. Perhaps all is not as it appears at first glance.

S3 E13: Con Rit & The Many-Finned Sea Serpent This time, on Counting Cryptids: We discuss a monstrous aquatic centipede known as the Con Rit. This behemoth is said to be 60 feet in length, 3 feet wide, and has an exoskeleton as strong as metal. Little else is know about this monstrous creature, other than its corpse sticks to high hell. The waters are further muddied when not so similar accounts are attributed to this creature, when maybe it is actually a different creature altogether.

S3 E12: Men in Black This time, on Counting Cryptids:   We dip our toes into the legend of the Men in Black. The MIB are mysterious organization of men who wear black suites and show up to interrogate, intimidate, and silence UFO and extraterrestrial experiencers. They walk in shadows, move in silence, guard against extraterrestrial violence, or just harass people who have already been through hell. Will Smith Jokes aside, people have actually been visited by these so called MIB for nearly a century, and still there is very little known about them and their mysterious organization. Are they simply government workers trying to keep up with an ever expanding queue? Could they just be shape-shifters being shitty? Or do the Men in Black have extraterrestrial origins themselves?

S3 E11: The Dullahan This time, on Counting Cryptids:   We discuss an Irish fairy known as the Dullahan. Better known as the Headless Horseman, this creature appears as, well, a headless horseman.. Clever names aside, this thing really is quite bad ass, from his black horse with flaming nostrils, to his whip made of a human spine. The Dullahan always gets its victim. Those unlucky enough to catch a glimpse of him riding through the night are said to have their eyes whipped out, or he just splashes a basin of blood in your face. Join us Cryptid Counters, as we trot through another episode of Counting Cryptids.

S3 E10: The Enfield Horror This time, on Counting Cryptids:   We discuss a man with a mystical name, way too much about kangaroos, and the entity known as the Enfield Horror. The Enfield Horror, or Enfield Monster, was a strange, three-legged creature, the large red eyes, sighted in southern Illinois in the Spring of 1973. The creature, while frightening in appearance, did little more than destroy a pair of shoes, and maybe a small bit of property damage. Though it never harmed anyone, every media outlet, and amateur monster hunter within 100 miles came through the town, with hopes of catching a glimpse of the creature. Join us Cryptid Counters, as we hop our way through another episode of Counting Cryptids.

S3 E9: The Green Children of Woolpit This time, on Counting Cryptids:   We discuss extraterrestrials, reincarnation, and two strange green children. The children, a girl, her brother, spoke an unknown language, wore unfamiliar clothing, and had green colored skin. The children eventually assimilated and even learned English, when asked where they had come from, it was revealed that they had come from a subterranean place known St. Martin’s Land. Were the children actual interterrestrials, or is the answer something more depressing? Join us Cryptid Counters, as we speculate beyond space and time in another episode of Counting Cryptids.

S3 E7: Amabiko This time, on Counting Cryptids:   We discuss a Japanese water spirit known as Amabiko. The Amabiko appear in the oceans of Japan, warning of impending disaster. It was said that using its image would help save those who looked upon it. Drawings were made and widely distributed across the region. The images vary in appearance from ape-like, cephalopod-like, and even bird-like, and even takes the form of inanimate objects. And strangely, they have three legs.

S3 E6: Pascagoula Abduction This time, on Counting Cryptids:   We discuss a bizarre extraterrestrial encounter that occurred in 1970's Mississippi. The story is based around the shared experience of two shipyard workers, 42 year old Charles Hickson, and 19 year old Calvin Parker. The two were fishing along the banks of the Pascagoula River after work on the 11th of October 1973 when they heard a "whizzing sound" from above. Suddenly, an oval shaped craft appeared in front of them, hovering about 2 feet off the ground. Out of the craft emerged three humanoid beings each standing about 5 feet tall, with pink-ish/gray skin, lobster claw-like hands, and only one leg. In the years following, more detail emerged, as more witnesses came forward, making this even harder to judge heads from tails. Join us Cryptid Counters, as we slur our way through another episode of Counting Cryptids.

S3 E5: Kushtaka / The Alaskan Otter Man This time, on Counting Cryptids:   We discuss a 7 foot tall, bipedal, shape-shifting, otter-man know as the Kushtaka. Native to Alaska, the Kushtaka can be heard mimic distressed cries of a human, luring its victims to their graves. Alternatively, the Kushtaka have been known to save many from freezing to death by changing them into a kushtaka and bringing them to their den. Join us Cryptid Counters, as we wade our way through another episode of Counting Cryptids.

S3 E4: Popobawa This time, on Counting Cryptids:   We discuss mass hysteria, competitive tag, and a shape-shifting bat demon known as the Popobawa. Every few years this creature terrorizes the community, attacking the residence one house at a time. The attacks range from physical abuse, to poltergeist adjacent behavior, to more severe attacks. - TRIGGER WARNING - There is some talk of sexual assault in this episode. What is the a bat-winged, shape-shifting, cyclops demon terrorizing the island of Pemba? A rogue djinn set loose by an angry sheikh? Mass hysteria cause by toxins in the food? Or could it possibly be political propaganda pushed past the point of no return?

S3 E3: Tikbalang This time, on Counting Cryptids:  We discuss a strange reverse centaur creature known as the Tikbalang. This walking hunk of Filipinos horse-face has a literal horse face, and the body of a VERY well sculpted man. This creature has a few different personalities, depending on the region, some of which it is portrayed mostly as a nuisance, playing tricks on travelers, but other tales speak of a creature who will stomp its victims to death! Thankfully there are a number of very simple ways to protect yourself from this giant, cigar smoking, forest being.

S3 E2: Black-eyed Children This time, on Counting Cryptids:  We dip our toes into a slightly more paranormal topic, the back-eyed children phenomena. As the name suggests, it is just children, that have black eyes. The thing of it is, that it is their entire eye that is black, not just the iris itself. On top of their slightly demonic appearance, these beings show up at strange times, behaving oddly, and then leave just as abruptly as they came. Luckily, since they are children after all, they need your permission to come in and fuck with you, so as long as you have a heart of stone and can kick the kids out into a snow storm, you should be fine. Are these seriously spooky stories simply just adults being weirded out by children? Or is there something more otherworldly at play?

S3 E1: The Yeti This time, on Counting Cryptids:  We begin the season horrifically off topic before kicking things off with some subjectively big feet. If somehow you've never heard of the abominable snowman, its a snowy Sasquatch. A hairy, 8 foot tall, bipedal hominid, living on the slopes of the Himalayan mountains. Many sightings seem quite modest when compared to some of the extraordinary Bigfoot stories we all know and love, leaving some of its credibility intact. So join us Cryptid Counters, as we step down the slippery road of the Yeti on another episode of Counting Cryptids. We also talk shit about America's favorite pass time.

S2 E24: Cryptid Games: Two Truths & a Lie This time, on Counting Cryptids: Our hosts go head to head, testing their cryptozoological knowledge in the second installment of Cryptid Games™. Jacob will close out the season by describing three cryptids, two of which are "real" cryptids, the other is entirely fabricated from the inner machinations of his mind. After all of the information is presented, Connor will have to guess which one of the cryptids Jacob made up (the lie). We also discuss the upcoming annual tournament a bit, but more on that later. If you play along from home, be sure to let us know how you did over on social media! We'll be back January 2020, but until then, Stay Grey. AKA Who's That Cryptid, Mon?

S2 E23: Slide-Rock Bolter This time, on Counting Cryptids:  We discuss avalanches, Paul Bunyan, and the worst tourist trap of all time, the Slide-Rock Bolter. The SRB is a massive creature allegedly inhabits the mountains of Colorado, waiting on steep slopes for unsuspecting tourists to venture below. With the help of loose snow, gravity, and lubricating saliva, the SRB rockets down the mountain, crashing down on its victim(s). The SRB is said to gain enough speed on its way down, that its momentum will carry it up all the way up the next mountain, where it grabs hold, awaiting its next victim. While spotting a whale sized creature perched atop a mountain may seem like an easy task, the lack of sightings are eye opening to say the least. So join us Cryptid Counters, as we fish around this whale of a tale for yet another episode of Counting Cryptids.

S2 E22: Ebu Gogo This time, on Counting Cryptids:  We stumble through horrible pronunciations, debate the greater of clocks and knockers, and ramble about some little hairy dudes. The Ebu gogo are cave dwelling bipedal humanoid creatures standing just under five feet tall, with broad faces, resembling that of a monkey. Stories of these creatures emerged several hundred years ago telling of their insatiable hunger, tremendous greed, and fondness for long pig (human flesh). While the Ebu Gogo haven't been sighted for quite some time, the region is littered with reports of small, hairy, humanoid creatures that could be related. To further validate the legend of the Ebu Gogo, in 2003 remains of an individual who would have stood about 3 feet 7 inches in height were discovered at Liang Bua on the island of Flores in Indonesia, the same area the Ebu Gogo was said to inhabit. So put on you finest palm fiber fashioned clothing, its time for another episode of Counting Cryptids.

S2 E21: The Beast Of Bodmin Moor This time, on Counting Cryptids: We discuss releasing animals into the wild, how little we know about europe, and a big ass cat known as The Beast of Bodmin Moor. This "beast" is pretty much just a panther, but in a place where it has no business, Europe. Though official reports maintain that "No verifiable evidence for the presence of a 'big cat' was found" there has been no shortage of sightings adding credibility to these creatures. And with recent, well documented, big cat escapes in the area, this podcaster subscribes to the belief that a particular person plotted this European panther population expansion project. So grab your phantom wild cat repellent spray, and your anti-alien big cat abduction undergarments, its time for another episode of Counting Cryptids AKA Jellicle Cats Links: Main Image, Felicity The Puma, Flaviu, Puma prints in Bodmin, 1997, Peterson Prints, 2016, Carole Desforges Photo, YouTube video from Paranormal Reality "Big Cat Sightings The Beast Of Bodmin", Facebook Group, Counting Cryptids Merch Social:Be sure to follow us on social media to connect with the community and answer polls!Facebook @CountingCryptids Twitter @CountCryptid Instagram @CountingCryptids Join our Discord channel!

S2 E20: Fresno Nightcrawlers This time, on Counting Cryptids: We discuss the pride of promenading pants, the sashaying spectral slacks, the tangential traveling trousers themselves, that's right, it's the Fresno Nightcrawlers. In 2007 (or was it in 2010? 2011? Maybe the 90's?) surveillance footage captured strange entities crossing a man's yard. The entities, though quite recognizable, don't actually resemble a living creature, instead they just look like pants. It's ghost pants people.

S2 E19: The Djinn This time, on Counting Cryptids: We discuss the almighty djinn. One of the most powerful beings that has yet to grace our notes, the djinn are an Islamic race of spiritual beings. While their motives may very, invisibility, shape-shifting, and possession, are standard practice in djinn. While they possess many supernatural abilities, they are humbled by their earthly needs for sustenance, reproduction, and religion. To make matters worse, the djinn can sense when you are thinking about them, and in return can focus on you and take advantage of you when you become venerable, with that being said, if you are in a less than ideal place in your life right now, maybe hold off on this episode for a while.

S2 E18: The Beast of Busco This time, on Counting Cryptids: We discuss CC merch, our own strange shared experience, and a tremendous turtle that transformed a town. In the late 1940's a large turtle was spotted in a small "lake" in Indiana. The turtle, later named Oscar, resembled an alligator snapping turtle, which had no business being there, as the species was thought to have been extirpated from the area. Furthermore, Oscar was estimated to be more than twice the size of the largest documented alligator snapper. As news of this record breaking reptilian began to spread, large crowds began to form on the shores of this small town, and the owner of the property prepared for a plunge. Did locals actually witness a turtle the size of a car? Or could a thicc turtle simply have been transformed into yet another fisherman's tale?

S2 E17: Cryptid Games: Two Truths & a Lie This time, on Counting Cryptids: Our hosts go head to head, testing their cryptozoological knowledge in the first ever Cryptid Games™. Connor will kick things off with a thick splash by describing three cryptids, two of which are "real" cryptids, the other is entirely fabricated from the inner machinations of his mind. After all of the information is presented, Jacob will have to guess which one of the cryptids Connor made up (the lie). We also discuss some recent news that is directly related to past episodes.

S2 E16: Insectoids This time, on Counting Cryptids: We wrap up our extraterrestrial stint with the creepy-crawlies of the cosmos, Insectoids. As the name would suggest, these beings resemble earthly insects with humanoid features, most commonly portrayed as a 7-foot tall praying mantis. From being the subject of the finest of art, to setting off the Spanish inquisition, and even being cucked in the corner, there really is no limit to the number of honey pots these beings have their hand-like appendages in. This episode includes a conversation about the revolutionary artist, David Huggins. Huggins creates works of art depicting his erotic extraterrestrial experiences, most of which are paintings of him fucking aliens (and some are even a little more kinky).

S2 E15: Reptilians This time, on Counting Cryptids: We continue to spit a bunch of shit about aliens. This time, the reptilians. Tall, scaly, and smelly, these entities are malicious, power hungry, and will stop at nothing to manipulate the human race into doing their bidding. Popularized by celebrity conspiracy theorist David Icke in the 90's, who was actively racing to ruin his own career, Icke proposed that these Reptilian Humanoids had been controlling humanity since the dawn of time. The internet has since run wild with this theory, exposing many celebrities, and nearly every politician, as a so-called "lizard person". While these claims may seem like a reach at first, and the "Reptilian Elite" may not be the first conclusion you jump to, much of the video evidence is enough to leave you scratching your head.

S2 E14: Pleiadians This time, on Counting Cryptids: We continue along the extraterrestrial train, stopping in the Pleiades star cluster, to discuss the Pleiadians. These beings are said to be nearly identical to humans, with the main differences being that they are significantly more attractive, and a little bit taller. Typically being described as "Nordic looking". Unlike most of the things we talk about on the show, the Pleiadians are a kind-hearted, spiritual race, whose mission on Earth is largely that of goodwill. The kind nature of these beings has left their message susceptible to some woo-woo, New Age plunderers, taking advantage of desperate, or naive, individuals for financial gain, with claims of a higher purpose. All hippies aside, there is some strange cases of missing time, metal fragments, and even an interrupted news broadcast.

S2 E13: The Greys This time, on Counting Cryptids: We continue to loosen the definition of the word "cryptid" as we discuss the archetypal extraterrestrials affectionately known as The Greys. The Greys are a race of short-statured extraterrestrial beings with large eyes and bulbous heads who are, you guessed it, grey in color. Encounters with these entities are mostly benevolent, but sometimes can be a little more probing. Assuming most everyone is familiar with these creatures, this episode is more story heavy, with such classics as, The Betty & Barney Hill Abduction story, The Disappearance of Travis Walton, and Phil Schneider's The Great Split. And if that wasn't enough, we've also included a comprehensive overview of "how to know if you have already been abducted by an alien".

S2 E12: Area 51 This time, on Counting Cryptids: We take a step back from cryptids and explore another mysterious topic, Area 51. Recently a Facebook event was created, detailing "We will all meet up at the Area 51 Alien Center tourist attraction and coordinate our entry. If we naruto run, we can move faster than their bullets. Lets see them aliens." But that is far from the beginning of the so called "Groom Lake Facility". Built in the 1950's for Black Projects (development and testing of experimental aircraft and weapons systems), the facility wasn't officially confirmed until June 2013, under a Freedom of Information Act request. In the late 80's, a man by the name of Bob Lazar came forward claiming to have been employed at a facility called "S-4", roughly 8 miles from Area 51, reverse engineering advanced technology. He claims that the craft that he worked on was not from earth, and was extraterrestrial. Lazar describe 9 different crafts seen at the facility, and claims briefing documents stated the craft came from a planet in the Zeta Reticuli star system called ZR-3. Lazar's credentials are soon brought into question as his alleged past is erased. His Masters from MIT, and Cal Tech, his employment history, and even his birth certificate, all disappeared. Lazar's story, coupled with countless UFO sightings in the area, have made the public suspicious of the area for decades, prompting the current movement scheduled for September 2019. Is Lazar telling the truth? Was the United States Government actually attempting to reverse engineer extraterrestrial technology? And how many of the almost 2 million "attending" will actually show?

S2 E11: Giants This time, on Counting Cryptids: We discuss old shit, the Most American Cryptid, and the unearthing of massive skeletons. For as long as humans have been alive, they have been digging up old shit, and sometimes that old shit, is just dead shit. And sometime that dead shit, is a grave yard of giants. Long walk for short drink of water aside, we're talking about giants. Lots of skeletons, a couple of close calls, and even a more recent ruckus. Did a separate race of exceptionally tall humanoids once coexist with homo-sapiens? Is academia actively trying to obfuscate these findings? Could it just be a misleading art instillation? Did a cannibalistic race of red haired giants actually perish at the mouth of a cave? Or could it simply be a misidentification of our very own Jacob?

S2 E10: Ogopogo This time, on Counting Cryptids: We dive deep into Lake Okanagan to find Canada's most popular lake monster, the Ogopogo. While there have been many reports, photos and videos of the alleged beast, no one is sure what is under the large lake in British Columbia, Canada. Dating back to the Native tribes of the area, the Ogopogo, or Naitaka, was seen as a lake spirit but when Susan Allison saw the lake monster in real life, a slew of sightings poured in over the next 146 years. Is this creature a living dinosaur? A bunch of logs? A family of otters? Or worse, nothing at all...

S2 E9: Dover Demon This time, on Counting Cryptids: We discuss why animals eyes glow, more alien shit, and a strange series of sightings that occurred over a 24-hour period in Dover, Massachusetts in 1977. That's right, the Dover Demon. Standing at roughly 4 feet tall, this glowing-eyed, watermelon-headed, wet sandpaper-y, monstrosity has left us with nothing but questions. This one creature was spotted over a two day period, on three separate occasions, by four people. Every time this creepy, big-headed, orange guy (not Trump) was seen, it was within a two mile stretch of the same road. No photos were taken, no evidence captured, and no one has seen the creature since. Was it simply adolescent alcoholism? Or perhaps, an elaborate hoax, corroborated by a few angsty teenagers? Or, was this shadowy, small-town, specter something more supernatural?

S2 E8: J'ba Fofi This time, on Counting Cryptids: We discuss what is, without a doubt, the creepiest cryptid ever, J'ba Fofi. Commonly refereed to as the Congolese giant spider, this absolute horror is basically just a five to six foot tarantula, with massive fangs, and a deadly bite. It is said to be very fast, spin massive webs, and known to kill humans. Natives detail mundane information about the life cycle of this creature, such as; what its eggs look like, what color they are when they hatch, and the sizes they reach, suggesting they regard it as being a very real, flesh and blood creature. Fortunately, for those short on nightmare fuel, sightings of giant spiders have recently been popping up all over the globe, from the United States, to Papua New Guinea, and even England. Have these hellish horrors been hiding in plain sight this whole time? Has someone collected giant spiders from the Congo, and returned to the United States, only for them to escape their captivity? Or has Hagrid simply forgotten to feed his old friend? Join us, Cryptid Counters, as we wince at the thought, and crawl through the webs of J'ba Fofi.

S2 E7: Atmospheric Beasts This time, on Counting Cryptids: We discuss, UFOs, clouds, and the infamous Atmospheric Beasts. For the uninitiated, Atmospheric Beasts is a term used to describe giant, amoeba shaped, creatures that live in, you guessed it, the atmosphere. Basically flying jellyfish. It is suggested that these, mostly invisible, beasts are carnivorous, and potentially responsible for a slew of animal mutilations, and missing persons. When one of these creatures dies, they become more visible, and their bodies condense into a quickly evaporating, translucent jelly, affectionately known as star jelly. Star jelly, which is a substance that has been found all over the world dating back to the 14th century, is a well-known phenomenon that is tied to meteor showers, bacteria, and even frog spawn. Could these centuries old mysteries be explained by creatures that have been living above our heads this whole time? Are these beings native to Earth, or could they have come from the stars themselves? And just what the hell is frog spawn?

S2 E6: Flatwoods Monster This time, on Counting Cryptids: We discuss, owls in relation to strange encounters, Project Blue Beam, and one of the most unbelievable beings to date, The Flatwoods Monster. The Flatwoods Monster, also known as the Green Monster☺, was spotted in West Virginia, amidst a UFO flap in 1952. Witnesses watched as a strange ball of light fell from the sky, in a rather peculiar manor. Upon finding the object, they were confronted by a malicious mist, and an enormous, enigmatic entity. Over the next 24 hours, several similar sightings were reported from nearby towns, as well as a slew of UFO sightings across the region. While no known photos exist, the legend of the Flatwoods Monster continues to persist. So join us, Cryptid Counters, as we light up with the Green Monster.

S2 E5: Organism 46-b This time, on Counting Cryptids: We discuss secret alien bases, movie plots, and what could be the most horrific "discovery" ever, Organism 46-b. The story of 46-b, better known as the Vostok Monster, was born from an actual scientific expedition, in which researches drilled into the ice in Antarctica for decades to access a sub-glacial lake, that had been covered in ice for an estimated 20 million years. Upon examination of the lake, the crew was met by something horrible; a 33 foot long, 14 tentacled, squid-thing, that was out for blood. The creature allegedly killed several members of the crew before finally being captured, and sent off to the Russian government to be examined, and potentially weaponized. While contradictory information, lack of evidence, and bad science point to a hoax; the unnamed crew members, government conspiracies, "missing scientist", and obfuscated information lend credence to this creepy creatures continued existence. So join us, Cryptid Counters, as we dive into what we know about lake Vostok.

S2 E4: Montauk Monster This time, on Counting Cryptids: We discuss crazy dreams, dead raccoons, and conspiracy theories, as we attempt to unpack the story of the Montauk Monster. In the summer of 2008, just outside of Montauk, New York, a creature washed ashore resembling a raccoon, or a pig, or a turtle, or a dog, or an alien, depending on who you ask. The naked creature was said to be slightly larger than a cat and had one main characteristic that ruled out the above suggestions, a beak. Before authorities arrived on the scene, a man walking the beach scooped up the creature, mumbling something about mounting it on his wall, and disappeared. With mystery surrounding the origins of this creature, the whereabouts of its body, and the near by Animal Disease Center, this episode may be our deepest dive yet! So join us, Cryptid Counters, as we slur our way though another episode of the infamous internet program, Counting Cryptids. OOPS! - Jacob read about a second body being found on Plum Island, while searching for the autopsy report from the first body Connor mentioned.

S2 E3: Wampus Beast This time, on Counting Cryptids: We discuss our thoughts on therianthropy, how little we (personally) know about native wildlife, and a half-woman, half-cougar, hybrid known as the Wampus Beast. The Wampus Beast, or Wampus Cat, is, by some accounts, an 800 pound cat patrolling the Appalachian mountains, searching for a campfire to ambush. Others claim it has native origins, telling of a woman cursed for following the men into the forest, the cougar jokes could nearly write themselves! But with little to no (and really I mean no) actual evidence being presented, other than the tenuous eyewitness accounts of a man with a television program, could this all be fabricated? Is there actually a Native American werecat hunting men by the light of their own campfires? is it a localized version of the boogeyman? Or, better yet, simply an excuse to get wasted with the boys?

S2 E2: Thylacine This time, on Counting Cryptids: We discuss the reintroduction of extinct species, strangers marital problems, and what is arguably the most bad ass looking creatures to have gone extinct in the last century, the thylacine. The thylacine, better known as the Tasmanian Tiger, was officially declared extinct in 1936 when the last known specimen (who's name was probably not Benjamin) died in captivity at the Hobart zoo. Over the last 83 years, hundreds, if not thousands, of individuals have reportedly witnessed this romanticized marsupial, yet no irrefutable evidence has been presented to the masses. Could it be as simple as an obscured fox, a mangy Kangaroo, or an overly large quoll? We're not so sure..

S2 E1: Boo Hag This time, on Counting Cryptids: We kick off the second season with some new tunes, Jacob's plumbing adventures, and a listener suggested topic; the Boo Hag. A Southern take on the standard hag recipe: a dash of soul sucking, a pinch of skin stealing, a hint of women's suffrage, and a whole lot of riding. Jokes aside, if a Boo Hag takes a liking to you, it will follow you home and feed on your "life force" in your sleep. Some unlucky individuals have even, allegedly, ended up marrying a Boo Hag.

The man with the northern most pole. The Crimson Crusader himself. Santa Claus! Jolly, old, Saint Nick began his good deeds in the 4th century, helping those in need, often financially.

Krampus serves as, basically the inverse of Santa: visiting, and punishing all of the bad children, either by physical abuse, eating them, or just dragging them to hell.

This hunter-killer of a bird has mastered not only the art of eating a man whole, but of flight, and of ventriloquism (and making those who eat it incredibly sleepy, post mastication). Silly stories aside, looking into reports from Colombian folklore could add some validity to this veritable turducken of an episode.

Contender #22  - Mongolian Death Worm This time, on Counting Cryptids: We discuss a creature so seldom witnessed, that it may as well be this very podcast; the Mongolian Death Worm. The MDW, squirms under the sands of the Gobi Desert, tearing through its victims with razor sharp teeth, corrosive saliva, and poison skin. And if that wasn't enough, it can also electrocute things, using the powers of God and anime? Will the worm be this weeks winner? Find out now, on the infamous internet program Counting Cryptids.

Contender #21  - Slender Man This time, on Counting Cryptids: We discuss the freshest fiend we could find, the Slender Man. In 2009 an image was created that seemed to haunt people to the point of physical manifestation. Individuals began to become obsessed with this entity, many unsure of its origins, or if it was even real. Then, in 2012, two preteens stabbed their friend 19 times in an attempt to appease the Slender Man, turning these fun photo manipulation festivities, into a full on frenzy. AKA Shouting over a barking dog about the aftermath of a Photoshop contest.

Contender #20  - Shadow People (Sorta) This time, on Counting Cryptids: We manage to slur our way through an episode while hardly mentioning the topic, Shadow People. All over the world people are seeing shadows of... well, people. These beings typically take the form of a silhouette of a human, but only the silhouette. No face, just a shape (and sometimes a hat?). We then discovered that one of our close friends, Morgan, has had a brush with one of these creatures (along with a myriad of other weird happenings). So we conned her into coming onto the show, to be our first guest, and tell us about some of her strange experiences. AKA Hey, It's a Halloween Episode Thing Links: Main Image.

Contender # 19 - The Van Meter Visitor This time, on Counting Cryptids: We pander to, yet another, festival audience as we cover our first local crypid, the Van Meter Visitor. For one chilling week in 1903, a tall, humanoid creature with large, bat-like wings, and a single horn atop its head (which emits a brilliant light), terrorized this small Iowa town, leaving mostly broken windows, and bad smells in its wake. This, seemingly nocturnal, being has been shot by nearly everyone in town, but never once seemed phased. Is this an unknown or forgotten species? Is it a fourth dimensional entity? Is it the Mothman, spotted 60 years before the events in West Virginia? We don't know, but come listen anyway!

Contender # 18 - The Mothman or w/e This time, on Counting Cryptids: We struggle to stay on topic, as we come face to face with the glowing red eyes of mystery. For nearly a century, this winged creature has been spotted in the moments leading up to tragedy, leaving people as curious as they are cautious. Collapsing bridges, mine cave-ins, and even the Fukushima nuclear melt down, the Mothman has been in attendance at some terrible events, but is all as it seems? While some speculate the Mothman is responsible for said catastrophes, others suggest it is merely the harbinger of these horrors. What do you think the Mothman is? Where do you think it came from? And, most importantly, why haven't you pressed play yet?!

Contender # 17 - Giant Bats / Ahool This time, on Counting Cryptids: We wrestle with the idea that all around the world people are witnessing massive bats... with the face of a gorilla. Indonesia, Portugal, Africa, and the Americas all have their own names and variations of these creatures, with some more likely than others. Are they winged, robot-monkey hybrids, craving the flesh of young lovers? Were they created in a lab by a mad scientist? What is the airspeed velocity of an un-laden swallow?

Contender # 16 - Pterosaurs This time, on Counting Cryptids: We take to the skies, as we discuss modern day sightings of another prehistoric creature, the Pterosaur. From the Americas, to Papua New Guinea, and even Africa people are spotting massive flying creatures with bat like wings that... sometimes glow? With as many likely explanations as there are, surely there can't be a giant flying reptile stalking the skies, could there?

Contender # 15 - Snallygaster This time, on Counting Cryptids: We tackle yet another listener requested episode, the Snallygaster. The Snallygaster, is a fearsome, dragon like creature, said to be half-reptile, half-bird, with razor sharp teeth, and occasionally octopus tentacles?  This creature is said to fly silently through the night, carrying it's victims to their grave. Is it mass hysteria? A misidentified party bus? Or did people actually witness some sickening beast flying through the valley?

Contender # 14 - Tatzelwurm This time, on Counting Cryptids: We tackle another listener requested episode, the Tatzelwurm. The Tatzelwurm, or Stollenwurm, is an aggressive, serpent like creature, with the head of a cat, which stalks European Mountains.  This slimy creature is highly venomous, and can jump great distances in a single leap. If you are lucky enough to survive an attack by one of these creatures, beware its blood, for it is said to burn those who have drawn it. What the actual hell is going on here?

This time, on Counting Cryptids: We visit the lovely country side of East Anglia to bring you a badass canine from HELL! Said to have rampaged through 2 churches and still haunts kids and adults for centuries. The Black Shuck goes by many names and slight varients in appearance but one thing remains, this hound is metal AF! And if you see one it might help you get home or... EAT YOUR FACE! AKA m/ (> _

Contender # 11 - Mokele-Mbembe This time, on Counting Cryptids: We discuss what is arguably the most sought after creature in existence, Mokele-Mbembe. This semiaquatic sauropod is said to exist throughout the Democratic republic of Congo, defending its territory from any creature who dare venture too close. With dozens of expeditions spanning hundreds of years, surley someone would have seen something... right? Could our wildest childhood dreams actually come true?

Contender # 10 - Emela-Ntouka This time, on Counting Cryptids: We discuss, what could be, one of our most compelling creatures yet, Emela-Ntouka. This semiaquatic ceratopsian is said to exist throughout the Democratic republic of Congo, defending its territory from any creature who dare venture too close. Regional name variants, and statues of the creature, carve this out to seem like something more than just legends or misidentifications. Could our wildest childhood dreams actually come true?

Contender # 9 - Bunyip This time, on Counting Cryptids: We discuss the Bunyip. Straight out of Aboriginal Australia, the Bunyip is a smorgasbord of strange. Reports of fur and feathers, fins and claws, a beard and a duck bill (and if that wasn't strange enough, a single massive eye, and a stomach-mouth). While descriptions of the Bunyip seem to paint this creature to be something of a sore thumb, modern day sightings may not be as predictable as one would expect.  Do you think there something sinister swimming in the swamps? Or could something have simply been lost in translation?  AKA The Thing-a From Down Und-a Links: Main Image Single Eye / Stomach Mouth Scribblenauts Bunyip Elephant Seal Southern Cassowary (it's legs look reptilian to me) Diprotodon Zygomaturus Palorchestes The Challicum Bunyip Skull Tasmanian Tiger Elephant Skull Social:Be sure to follow us on social media to answer this week's poll, and to stay connected!Click here to visit our Facebook pageClick here to follow us on Twitter Click here to subscribe on SpotifyMake sure you subscribe and rate our podcast!

Contender # 8 - Brosno Dragon This time, on Counting Cryptids: We attempt to come to terms with "The Russian Loch Ness Monster". Legends of this creature stretch from modernity, back to the age of the Vikings. Peaking our interest with strange reports of ships, and even a plane, being swallowed whole, we needed to know if there was something more than a 100 year old fish. So join us, as we discuss the Lake Monster from Brosno (with love).

Contender # 7 - Mermaids This time, on Counting Cryptids: Connor goes off into the deep end as we discuss one of the most surprisingly dense topics we've yet to look into, Mermaids. From our earliest introduction to these creatures as sweet, singing gingers, to modern footage of seemingly malevolent monsters there may actually be more here than anthropomorphic crabs and singing seagulls.

Contender # 6 - The Kraken This time, we talk about one of the most iconic creatures in all of folklore, the Kraken. From ancient manuscripts, to modern day satellite photography, humanity has been trying to warn generations to come of this behemoth beneath the waves. With documentation of this massive creature flooding the pages of fictional and scientific literature, it seems there may be something of a foundation for this mythological monster. It's time to sink or swim as we ask the question "Does a massive tentacled beast actually comb the ocean floor, waiting to drown us all?"

Contender # 5 - Megalodon For centuries, a massive marine monster terrorized the ocean depths, devouring anything that crossed its path. But with thousands of years separating this beast from modernity, could the recent sighting be attributed to an absurdly large great white? Could a so called "extinct" shark be hiding in the depths waiting to be rediscovered?

Contender # 4 - Dobhar-chú For centuries, a mysterious creature has stalked the shallows of European coasts in pairs, hunting any unlucky soul to cross their path. With detailed accounts of sightings, human deaths, and even a Dobhar-chú grave, the water hound may be one of the most ferocious beasts we have yet to discuss (giving you yet another reason to stay away from the water). Could it be something as "innocent" as an otter? Or is there a more perilous presence patrolling the pages of Irish folklore?

Contender # 3 - El Chupacabra One of the most commonly recognized cryptids, the Chupacabra, is best known for its debut attack in Puerto Rico in 1995, but has no shortage of attributed sightings.It seems the Chupacabra can be found all over the world. From South America, to Texas, Maine and even Japan, this notorious G.O.A.T...sucker knows no borders, and takes no hostages.With conflicting descriptions, and a questionable territory, it's time we asked: is a short, extraterrestrial, dinosaur, monster-looking, thing actually slumming it up in the south, or could it be something far less sinister altogether?   AKA The Sing Along Show   Links: Johnny Depp Chupacabra Article "That Fucking Picture"  - Warning!

Contender # 2 - The Michigan Dogman In a decolate area of nothern Michigan roams a fearson beast. Said to walk upright and have glowing blue eyes. Many tales of this creature have surfaced, warning others of its gnashing teeth. Fearsome as a bipedal canine may be, it seems that not everything is as it appears. Differing descriptions, mysterious phone calls, unforgetable songs, and admitted hoaxers leave the waters sufficiently muddied. This time we speculate, with little to no evidence, about what exactly our fellow midwesterners are witnessing.  AKA the Doleman   Social: Be sure to follow us on social media to answer polls, and stay connected!

Contender # 1 - The Wendigo The Wendigo: Fought by few, feared forever. From Native American myths, to modern day media, tales of the Wendigo have been chilling humanity for what seems like an eternity. Described as a large, gaunt, and icy creature said to be impossible to escape. This episode is not for the faint hearted. Native to the northern forests of the Atlantic Coast and Great Lakes Regions of North America. The Wendigo hunts by winter, luring it's would-be prey into the wilderness with the voices of their loved ones. Penetrating modern day television, movies, and our hearts, we could think of no one better for the inaugural episode of Counting Cryptids. So sit back and strap in as we discuss one of the most notorious cryptids on record. Just be sure to stock up on silver first. AKA: This weeks episode is all about the Wendigo and shit that it does.
