This Strange World

The time has come, the culmination of spooky season is upon us. To wrap up our Cryptids season, we decided to have some fun and talk about some straight up ridiculous cryptids, so ridiculous it’s hard to believe anyone thought they were real. We also take a personality quiz to see what cryptids we are! (Hint: The results may surprise you.)

We’re just passed halfway through spooky season, which means we’re halfway through our four bonus episodes in our Cryptids season! For our third bonus episode (and twelfth true episode) in our Cryptids season, we’re going to talk about cryptids from the state of West Virginia! There were truly so many from this one state that we felt they deserved their own episode. (Hint: If your state has more than one museum dedicated to a cryptid, you might have a problem.)

In case you missed last week’s episode, we’re back to finish up our Cryptids season with four bonus episodes for the spooooky month of October. For our second bonus episode (and eleventh true episode) in our Cryptids season, we’re going to talk about some creatures that used to be classified as cryptids, but have been proven to be real! Otherwise known as former cryptids proven real. (Hint: You might not even realize that some of these used to be creatures of legends! Listen to find out!)

Surprise! It’s October, also known as “Spooky Season”, so we decided to truly finish off our Cryptids season with four bonus episodes for this very spooky month! For our first bonus episode (and tenth true episode) in our Cryptids season, we’re going to talk about some dragons, river monsters, and snakes! These cryptids didn’t necessarily fit into any other episodes we made, so we decided to make an episode just for them! (Hint: It’s kind of like the Lake Monsters episode, but with river monsters, and also with dragons and snakes.)

For our ninth episode in our Cryptids season, we’re going to talk about supernatural cryptids! Supernatural cryptids are described as having anomalous and unexplained abilities, and are often linked with Spirits and Demons. Pretty much any cryptid that can be attributed to some force beyond scientific understanding or the laws of nature. (Hint: Did that shadow in the corner of my room just move?) This is the finale of the main part of the season, so we’re going to take a few weeks off, but maybe we’ll be back when it gets a little spookier out… To quote Gavin, “Who’s to say?” If you like all things dark, creepy, and strange, check out The Dark Archive, a new podcast featuring TSW’s Gavin Berger, available wherever you get your podcasts! https://linktr.ee/thedarkarchivepodcast Don’t forget to follow on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter! https://www.facebook.com/thisstrangeworldpodcast/ https://www.instagram.com/thisstrangeworldpodcast/ https://twitter.com/thisstrangepod/ And check out more This Strange World links here: https://linktr.ee/thisstrangeworldpodcast A High Tops Media Podcast You can follow for more High Tops Media content on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter: @hightopsmedia Check out more podcasts on our website https://hightops.media SOURCES https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cryptid https://cryptidz.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Supernatural https://cryptidz.fandom.com/wiki/Wendigo https://cryptidz.fandom.com/wiki/Shadow_People https://cryptidz.fandom.com/wiki/Baba_Yaga
