Mike is absolutely terrified of cat-human hybrids. It all began with a trip to see the Broadway musical "Cats" in the 6th grade. What should have been a joyous memory became a lifelong nightmare. Now, he acknowledges that these creatures are purely fictional; however, he is also aware that some people modify themselves to look like animals and he still worries he may bump into one on the street.

On this episode of "Your Weirdest Fears," listen as host Larry Mullins sits down with Erik Sprague a.k.a The Lizardman. A self-proclaimed "freak" known for his own body modifications, he breaks the down the stigma surrounding the practice, shares his own experiences with judgement, and provides professional insight as to why some people just can't wrap their heads around the concept of animal-human hybrids.
