I literally don't even know where to begin on this one. We joke about The Mighty Boosh a lot, but this one broke your hosts.   At the time of uploading, we're awaiting news of the newest cryptid of the Cryptopedia family.   Discord: https://discord.me/cryptopediacast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14015340 --- Spontaneous Generation in Antiquity — TAPA 51:101‑115 (1920) Where Do Eels Come From?

It finally happened, we've hit 100 episodes. In commemoration of this momentous event, we've finally decided to tackle the origin of everyone's (John excluded) favorite cryptid. John hasn't been sleeping enough again, so buckle up for some mispronunciations that make zero sense while he nails names like Kwakwaka’wakw. Be sure to stay for after the plugs, because probably the best three minutes of this entire show happen there.   Thanks for listening everyone! We'll keep doing these as long as there's an interest and neither Brandon or John are recaptured by that weird organization we referenced in the first 20 or so episodes.   Discord: https://discord.me/cryptopediacast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14015340 --- Abominable Science!: Origins of the Yeti, Nessie, and Other Famous Cryptids Hunting Monsters: Cryptozoology and the Reality Behind the Myths Bigfoot!: The True Story of Apes in America JW Burns sasquatch Indian Agents in Canada Indian Act Cryptozoology A To Z: The Encyclopedia of Loch Monsters, Sasquatch, Chupacabras, and Other Authentic Mysteries of Nature 1958: The Bigfoot Hoax That Wasn't | Paranormal World Wiki | Fandom Roger Patterson Bigfoot Footage Pacific Rim Camera Photographica Pages

It's finally here. That's right, the lost episode of Cryptopedia is finally getting released. We're covering John's personal sleep paralysis demon the Jersey Devil.

This time Steven Segal dominates the opening and John is broken by Brandon's jokes.   Discord: https://discord.me/cryptopediacast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14015340 --- The Guyra Ghost Australia's most baffling Poltergeist the Guyra ghost in NSW Poltergeist rocks town: The stone-throwing ghost of Guyra The Guyra Ghost Mystery New poltergeist book featuring Guyra Ghost The Guyra Ghost: Australia's very own poltergiest, & Brisbane's contribution to the legend.
