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!

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!

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.

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
