Strange Familiars

Join us as we explore the stranger aspects of our world. From bigfoot creatures and other cryptids to hauntings, hexes, magick, and more. A combination of historical research, witness interviews, discussion, and on-site recordings (where possible) is used to tell stories of the weird-but-true.

Goatman

Rod, from Lodge Tales podcast, stops by to tell us some more stories from Blackfoot culture, his friends, family, and guests that have appeared on his show. We talk about bigfoot, good and bad spirits, and the goatman.
