Long before horror movies and cryptids had names, stories of Cyclopes—massive, one-eyed giants—were already haunting ancient civilizations. In this episode of Kraken Cans Cast, we follow the legend of the Cyclops from its roots in ancient Greek mythology all the way to unsettling claims of giant skull discoveries and reports of modern encounters. We explore how these creatures were described by early historians, why elephant and mastodon skulls may have inspired the myth, and how theories inv...
In this episode, we dig deep into the Yeti legend with a major focus on the Pangboche Monastery and one of the most controversial pieces of alleged physical evidence ever connected to the creature. We walk through the story of the so-called Yeti relic kept at the monastery, how it was revealed to outsiders, and why it became such a huge moment in Yeti lore. We also get into the strange and lesser-known involvement of Jimmy Stewart, including how he helped secretly transport part of the relic ...
In this episode of Kraken Cans Cast, we dive into the Men in Black, starting with their first known appearance tied to the 1947 Maury Island incident—a bizarre UFO encounter involving strange debris, shadowy warnings, and a trail of fear that set the tone for every MIB story that followed. We break down who (or what) the Men in Black are, their unnerving appearance, their oddly stiff behavior, and why witnesses consistently report the same details across decades. Government agents? Interdimen...
This week we dive into Greek Christmas folklore and the legend of the Kallikantzaroi — the wild, hairy little goblins who crawl up from underground during the 12 Days of Christmas to cause pure chaos. From Dec 25th to Jan 6th, the world was believed to be in a spiritual “in-between,” not fully blessed or protected yet. That’s when these mischievous creatures slip out, abandoning their year-round job of sawing at the cosmic World Tree (which hilariously heals itself every time they leave). We ...
On this episode of Kraken Cans Cast, we crack open Evergrain Brewing’s Mothman Double IPA—a hazy citrus punch of a beer that feels just right for a night of UFO talk. And what better story to pair it with than one of the most famous alien encounters in American history: the 1973 Pascagoula Abduction. We dive deep into the night Charles Hickson (42) and Calvin Parker (19) were fishing along the Pascagoula River when a strange glowing craft descended, robotic-looking beings emerged, and both me...
This year’s Thanksgiving guest episode is officially off the rails as we’re joined by Corey’s brother-in-law, Sam — fueled by beer and ready to cause chaos. Sam brings a full show-and-tell to the studio, breaking out his collection of big-headed gear (yes… actual giant hats and sunglasses) from Mammoth Wear and Bison Head. Naturally, this leads to us measuring our domes, and let’s just say Sam clocks in with a legendary 25-inch melon worthy of the cryptids themselves. From there, we dive deep...
In this episode of The Kraken Cans Cast, we’re heading to Galway, Ireland, to break down one of the most unsettling hauntings you’ve probably never heard of — the Fahey Family case of 1996. What started as a normal home in a crowded council estate turned into a full-blown nightmare after two major events hit at once: neighborhood renovations and the arrival of a newborn baby. From foul smells to midnight footsteps, blinding lights, and a string of events that pushed the family to their breaki...
Is it Bigfoot with wings… or something far stranger? In this episode of Kraken Cans Cast, we dive into the legend of Batsquatch, the mysterious flying beast said to have emerged after the eruption of Mount St. Helens. From eerie eyewitness encounters to theories of mutations, monsters, and interdimensional visitors, we crack open a cold one and explore the truth behind one of the Pacific Northwest’s wildest cryptids. Join us for chilling stories, skeptical laughs, and a hazy flight through th...
This week, the boys crack a cold one and head deep into the windswept plains of Venezuela and Colombia to uncover one of Latin America’s most chilling legends — El Silbón, “The Whistler.” Spoiled since birth, a man’s unchecked rage and horrific crime against his own father lead to an eternal curse — doomed to wander the earth carrying a sack of bones and announcing his presence with a haunting whistle. But beware: the louder it sounds, the safer you are… the quieter it gets, the closer he is....
This Halloween, Kraken Cans Cast dives into two of the most chilling witch legends in American folklore — Moll Dyer of Maryland and the Witch of Yazoo from Mississippi. Both women were accused of witchcraft, cursed their towns, and left behind ghost stories that still haunt the South today. Join us as we crack a cold one and dig into the spooky history, local legends, and fiery endings that made these witches infamous. Were they real witches, misunderstood women, or just victims of small-town...
Hollywood is filled with legends, but some films come with something darker than a good story — they come with a curse. In this episode, Corey and Mike dig into three of the most infamous movie productions believed to be haunted by tragedy, misfortune, and eerie coincidences: The Exorcist, The Omen, and Rosemary’s Baby. But before diving into the chaos behind the scenes, the guys break down the difference between pure coincidence and a true supernatural curse, introducing their brand-new Curs...
They called her Kate. Others called her the Devil of Tennessee. This week on Kraken Cans Cast, we’re diving deep into one of the most chilling and well-documented hauntings in American history — The Bell Witch. From the eerie knocks and whispers that tormented the Bell family, to the disembodied voice that cursed John Bell himself, this story has haunted Tennessee for over two centuries. We’ll trace the legend from the creature in the cornfield to the mysterious Bell Witch Cave, where visitor...
We’re kicking off our October Halloween series with one of the most infamous hotels in America — The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado. Surrounded by mountains and mystery, this is the place that inspired Stephen King’s The Shining, terrified Jim Carrey during the filming of Dumb and Dumber, and continues to attract ghost hunters and skeptics alike. In this episode, we trace the eerie origins of The Stanley — from its visionary founder Freelan Oscar Stanley (the man behind the Stanley Ste...

This week, we’re circling back to childhood — specifically, imaginary friends.

In this chilling episode of Kraken Cans Cast, we dive into the terrifying story of the Black Monk of Pontefract, often called the most violent haunting in Britain.

We’ll explore the history, the legends, and the fear that made this case infamous. And of course, we’re pairing it with a brew fitting for the them...
We’re flying across the sea to the Philippines for one of the most chilling legends in folklore: the Manananggal. By day, she’s a stunning woman blending into normal life, but by night she splits her body in half, sprouts bat-like wings, and hunts for her favorite snack—unborn children and human organs. Armed with a long, straw-like tongue that slips through cracks in windows and walls, this self-segmenting creature is the ultimate nightmare fuel. In this episode, we break down her origins, g...
