E397 A Poultrygeist and an En-gay-gement

Surprise! In honor of Friday the 13th, we have a pop-up, special Cryptids Unscripted episode to satiate that creepy, eerie, emo appetite of all of ours. Grab your cup of joe, glass of wine or Capri Sun and take your seats because we've got not one but two pukwudgies up first, also known as pukwudgie camaraderie. Then we have a potential Nightcrawler debut, Mothman's break up and dangerous encounter with an Arby's sign, a steamy love poem to Em, another lawsuit from Zak Bagans and last, but certainly not least, manic pixie squonk girl. "Squonky" is your prompt for next time around, folks... and that's why we drink! You can submit all your best (and worst, we love them all) cryptid slam poems to atwwdfromourcouches@gmail.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

First Em takes us to the Catskills (ATWWD retreat, anyone?) for the incredibly creepy story of the Catskills Crone. Then Christine covers an oldie but a wild case in the story of the Barnes Mystery aka the murder of Julia Martha Thomas. And stay tuned for our deep dive into the smells that define us, both as humans and as ghosts... and that's why we drink! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Happy October, Boozers and Shakers! It's our time to shine and we're coming into October hot with some updated language for the Halloween season and some goose-cam worthy, scary stories from you, dear listeners. Beware Eva's forgotten topic warning about Black Eyed Kids, haunted houses, ghosts impersonating moms, and past lives intertwining with Salem and witch hunts.

Instead they take us to Georgia for the history and hauntings of Lake Lanier. Then Christine covers Billy the Kid, the most notorious outlaw in the west (who didn't take a great tintype photo). And where are our orange slices and Capri Suns, Eva!? ...and that's why we drink! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Welcome to episode 344, we're being so cognito right now... First and foremost, Em takes us on a journey back to their hometown Fredericksburg, Virginia and the wonderland that is the store, Possum-bilities. Then they take us on a deep dive into the folklore of La Lechuza aka the witch owl. On the true crime side, Christine covers Ireland's most notorious murderer, Malcolm MacArthur. And how dare Christine jar us by reaching deep into our brains to bring up the very specific girls with fishtail french braids from the Klutz books that we could never do... and that's why we drink! We cannot encourage you enough to check out Possum-bilities in Fredericksburg, VA! And how kind of them to offer our listeners a 20% off discount on all retail items (excluding art) if you mention the podcast, in honor of our (Christine's and Eva's) love of opossums! https://www.awesomepossumz.com/  Check out the link Em and Christine talked about detailing egg cleanses! https://www.popsugar.com/smart-living/how-to-do-egg-cleanse-huevo-limpia-ritual-48963277 Learn more about your ad choices.
