Neoma Finn Open to Doubt

The Legend of the Blue Man of Spring Creek is not a commonly known story, but it goes all the way back to the 1800s and is worth telling. Although there have been quite a few arguments as to whether this is a bigfoot or something else, I'm inclined to think bigfoot. But that may only be a matter of my personal predisposition. Regardless, it's a story worth telling, and one I hope you'll enjoy.Music by Kerry Tucker

Through the stress and craziness we got part two recorded and here it is for you. My father-in-law has been put on hospice care, so we may not get another episode up soon. Please enjoy this, and give us a like and subscribe.

White ladies and other ghostly entities have often been sighted along the roadside by late night travelers. I featured a few examples here, plus one story I remember from my childhood.

Here is the second installment of Snark Finn Soup. We've had a time getting audio correct and editing these videos. Unfortunately, there was an issue with the second half of the audio that prevented me from getting it edited in time to add to this portion, so we've decided to do this episode in two parts. In order to keep them together, it means that part 2 of this episode will also appear on this podcast rather than on its own. But that should be only a minor adjustment for you. We hope.Meanwhile, we're exploring that strange and, some say, cursed land that we call Kentucky. More specifically, we're talking cemeteries there. And, oh my, what have we found. This could turn into an entire series all by itself.

This Halloween, I was fortunate enough to be joined by two of my favorite people, my boss, Cameron Buckner of Dixie Cryptid fame, and my beloved husband, Brad Harvey, in sharing these creepy folktales that have been shared around campfires for generations.Tailypo has many other names, including Tailypoo, Po Taily, and Poly Tail. I know it as Tailypoo, but I couldn't see asking my boss to say poo, so I went with po.Skinned Tom was new to me in that I had never heard it until I moved here to Tennessee several years ago. But it reminded me so much of those other lovers lane stories that I had to include it in this episdoe.Bloody Bones is probably the first scary story I ever heard. In all likelihood, my sister, who was the one responsible for telling me my bedtime stories, told me this one before I ever left the cradle.

This is the inaugural edition of Snark Finn Soup. I decided to put it on the regular Podcast so that you might see it faster. After the second episode, it will get its own podcast, so you'll have to look harder for it.In this episode, Mathan Finn and I will be discussing giants spiders and army bases. Yes, there is a connection. If you want to contact us, you can reach us at [email protected]:DON'T LOOK AT THE SUNwritten by Brad Harveyperformed by PS

I published a book a year ago. I'm down to my last few copies, and I highly doubt I will have more printed. So, I thought I would read the opening chapter for you. If you haven't bought yet, and you're interested, this would be a good time to purchase it. Once it's gone, it's gone forever.

It makes me crazy every time I hear someone credit Linda Godfrey with the word "dogman." First, I LOVE Linda Godfrey. She is dearly missed. But, she didn't come up with that expression. She coined the phrase, "Beast of Bray Road," that NOT dogman. So, I decided to try and figure out exactly where the word comes from. Here is my best effort.

I wrote this story a million years ago when I thought I was going to be the next Stephen King. It started as the lead story in a colleciton of short stories I wrote, mostly for the amusement of my sons and their friends. Later, I expanded it into a full-length novel, but it was never published, either as the a short story or as a novel. Recently, my older son requested that I record and let all of you enjoy it as well. I had long since lost the originals (that's a story in and of itself, but best left for another time.) So, I had to re-write it. Frankly, I think this version is better anyway. I hope you enjoy it.P.S. Look for my new podcast coming soon, co-hosted by the son mentioned above. We'll be talking all things cryptid, paranormal, and creepy. It will be called SNARK FINN SOUP. If you've watched me on any live streams, you'll know where that name comes from. But don't worry, if you haven't, I'll explain it in the fisrt episode.

Illinois, like most states, has a few bridges with frightening legends attached. From Cry Baby Bridge in Monmouth to Acid Bridge in Collinsville, here are some stories to curl your toes.MUSIC BY KERRY TUCKER
