As we dive deeper into Season Two of the podcast, we’re focusing on Local Lore & Legends state-by-state. However, this week we’re taking a detour in order to really learn about cryptids, cryptid culture, as well as some cryptid backstories. If you look at cryptids by state, which we have each week, you’ll notice a lot of familiar trends - glowing red eyes, oftentimes winged, usually huge in stature.
