The Ogopogo is a water cryptid that lives in Okanagan Lake. Similar to the Loch Ness Monster, the creature has had hundreds of sightings over the years, with varying descriptions, yet one thing always remains the same with every sighting, that of a serpent-like creature with multiple humps that could be visible above the water crest.  By all accounts, it sounded like your typical sea serpent description.

In 2007, in the city of Fresno, California, a man was attempting to figure out what was causing his dogs to bark at night.  He figured it was likely some local animals wandering through, such as coyotes or raccoons, but he wanted to solve it once and for all.  What he discovered would make waves across the paranormal community for years to come.

On November 15th, 1966 two couples were driving near the McClintic Wildlife Management Area outside of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, when on the side of the road they saw a large grey creature with huge glowing eyes.  Terrified, they quickly sped away, but much to their horror, they saw the creature in the air chasing them.  That creature would later be known as the Mothman.

The Kraken is a legendary sea monster that began its life off the coasts of Norway.  Sailors described a horrific creature with enormous tentacles and hundreds of teeth that would wrap themselves around ships pulling them down into the ocean.  But is the Kraken simply just a case of a misidentified creature, or could the legends be true?

Well that took far too long. We are back though after a very tough and crazy many months. We can't wait to share with you many new episodes in the coming weeks!

In the year 1735 a creature was born that was so horrific it would be talked about to this day, and it was called the Jersey Devil.  Described as having bat-like wings, a horse or goat head, claws, hooves, and let out awful sounds. In this episode we discuss the origins of the creature, as well as some theories of what it might actually be.

In the year 1952, in the small town of Flatwoods in West Virginia, the legend of the Flatwoods Monster would be born. A creature that supposedly breathed fire, expelled noxious fumes, and levitated above the ground. But this legend has 2 different realities.  The one that pop-culture knows, and the one that was not embellished.  In this episode we will be talking about both, because while their origin stories are the same, where they land are quite different from each other.

There’s a legend out of Indonesia that a race of small human-like creatures once inhabited the Island of Flores. It is said that they were no more than a meter tall, had ears that stuck out from their heads, almost like an elf or leprechaun. They were incredibly fast, very nimble, and great hunters. In fact, they would hunt the local fauna of the island, miniature elephants and dragons that spit poison.   We welcome our very first guest to ABC Cryptozoology!
