Cryptid Cocktail Party

Welcome back to another installment of Interdimensional Swap! This week we are super stoked to introduce you to Perplexity: A Mystery Podcast, a show that covers everything from true crime to dark history all the way to the paranormal and aliens. The show is a ton of fun and Kaydra is an amazing host. Her research, delivery, and thoughtfulness makes this show definitely one in my top 10. So give the episode a listen and if you like what you here be sure to give Perplexity a follow, give them a 5 star rating and review, and just show some love. And with that out of the way...enjoy this episode on Clowns! "We’re all familiar with clowns. Known for their colorful oversized costumes and facial features, distinctive makeup, and general buffoonery, their purpose is to induce hearty laughter. This career goes back thousands and thousands of years and still persists today. While many enjoy clowns, there are just as many if not more, young and old, who find clowns to be absolutely terrifying. So where did clowns come from? Why are we so scared of them? Should we be scared of them? Let’s get into it. Today’s episode is all about clowns."

Welcome back to another episode of Cryptid Cocktail Party! Sarge is MIA this week so we got Brennan Storr of The Ghost Story Guys to take his place. Which may or may not have been a blessing in disguise because we are covering Bigfoot! The one thing I swore we would never cover but fuck it, its happening. Don't worry, this isn't a Bigfoot debunking episode but it also isn't a deep dive into the lore of the Bigfoot either. It's just an excuse to talk Squatch and all of its regional variants like the Skunk Ape and the Ohio Grassman as well as some of its more fucked up cousins like Sheepsquatch and the Dogman. So, with that in mind...enjoy!

Welcome back to another installment of Interdimensional Swap! This week we’re bringing you an episode by the wonderful Station 59 podcast covering the alleged possession of Anneliese Michel. If you like what you hear, be sure to give Station 59 a follow wherever you listen to podcasts as well as on all their social media which you can find here.

Welcome back to another episode of Cryptid Cocktail Party! This week we are giving new life to an old topic...the Van Meter Visitor. We cover the encounters, the theories, and discuss how this all may or may not have been an early attempt at distraction from the Epstein Files.

Welcome back to the conclusion of our series on weather weapons! This week, we take what we covered in part one (chemtrails, HAARP, hurricanes, and space lasers) and tear it apart using not even science... just basic, old fashioned common sense. So sit back, make yourselves a nice Bloody Mary, and enjoy us being grade A party poopers! And be sure to check out Vine Cult. They were kind enough to send us some samples to try and let me tell ya…if you like Bloody Marys, give them a try and follow them on Instagram at @vinecultmix

Welcome back to another episode of Cryptid Cocktail Party! This week kicks off part one in our two part series on weather weapon conspiracies, tracing a line from chemtrails to HAARP all the way to space lasers. We break down what these conspiracies actually claim, how they connect to each other, who's supposedly behind them, as well as why they would want use said weather as a weapon in the first place. There's a lot to unpack here so sit back, crack a cold one, and enjoy!

Welcome back to another episode of Cryptid Cocktail Party! This week, in honor of all the snow we got this weekend, we decided it would be a good time as any to cover a snow mystery. Specifically, the mysterious circumstances surrounding deaths and disappearance of the Yuba County Five. Snag a shirt crushedice.bigcartel.com

Welcome back to another episode of Cryptid Cocktail Party! This week, Sarge is stuck in the Lone Star State so to take his place I am joined by Dipper Satterfield of Killed By A Yeti. We dive into the 1993 murder of three men at a remote cannabis farm in Mendocino County that the locals blamed on Bigfoot. We explore why the story spread, how folklore protected real killers, and what later investigations revealed about the human violence behind the myth. Enjoy!

Welcome back to another episode of Cryptid Cocktail Party! This week we are once again joined by host of Chasing Legends, Nash Hoover, to discuss one of our favorite mysteries: numbers stations. We go over just what numbers stations actually are, listen to a couple of the greatest hits, and then dig into some theories surrounding what they may have actually been used for. So sit back, grab your cipher, and enjoy!

Welcome back to another episode of Cryptid Cocktail Party! This week we are FINALLY in the same room so we figured, why not torture ourselves by watching, reacting to, and roasting some paranormal AI slop!

Happy Holidays everyone! This week we are revisiting one of the most horrific holiday folklore figures Iceland has to offer: The child eating ogress Gryla and her terrible offspring, the Yule Lads. Dave covered this years ago but figured it was time to give it a redo for reasons that will become clear once you listen, plus Sarge really loves the idea of the Yule Lads and it felt wrong to deprive him the pleasure of learning about this gem of Christmas folklore. So grab some eggnog, cozy up by the fire, and enjoy!

Well, its the holiday season, and we were feeling the spirit of Christmas a little too hard this week. So as a festive treat, we're covering one of the most brutal pieces of winter folklore out there. This story has everything. Masks, unbaptized ghost babies, and disembowelment. This week we are discovering...Frau Perchta and the Perchten!

This week Sarge is MIA but don't you worry because we got friend of the show Nick Einstman filling in to discuss what is probably the most well known haunted object in the world...the Dybbuk Box!

This week Sarge and Dave are joined by Andrew and Jordan of the A Better Way 2A podcast to discuss one of the wildest cryptid stories we have ever covered. Now, we say that a lot but this story is all over the place, from wrecked cars, armed townsfolk, all the way to Vegas bookies. This week, we're talking The Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp! Check out A Better Way 2A here

You guys remember that time when everyone was losing their collective minds over aliens at that mall in Miami? No? Most don't, but for a hot minute it was the only thing people on TikTok and reddit were talking about. So we figured, fuck it, lets get Jess and Janice or Haunted By on the show to talk about it wayyyy past the point when it was actually relevant. This week, were diving into the Miami Mall Incident! Be sure to check out Haunted By wherever you get your podcasts and be sure to give them a follow on Instagram here

This week we continue our yokai journey and dive into one of Japans most terrifying legends: The Gashadokuro. A massive, rage filled skeleton made from the bones of the forgotten dead. We cover its origins, its behaviors, and where it fits into modern culture. So sit back, grab a go-gurt, and enjoy

Welcome back to another installment of Yokai Cocktail Party! This week Dave decides to actually explain just what the hell a yokai is and then immediately proceeds to tell Sarge the lore about what can only be described as an absolute nightmare...the shapeshifting spider woman known as the Jorogumo! Enjoy.

Welcome back to another episode of Cryptid Cocktail Party! This week, Dave makes his triumphant return to the show and brings with him some special guests, Tyler and Charlie, hosts of Believing The Bizarre to discuss one of Japan's most famous yokai...the kappa!

Dave is still gone and Sarge has gone feral. Amanda and Cam join the show to discuss the perils of hiking in Russia, terrible Italian alcohol, and shapeshifters?

Dave is on vacation, so Sarge called in Maynerd and Cam for this episode where we DEBUNK the flat Earth conspiracy... or more accurately, forgot how the moon works and mispronounce a number of words. However, you can play along with our fun flat earth crime guessing game at the end of the show!
