Mothman: Cryptid, Omen of Doom, or Celestial Being
Long before John Keel's famous Mothman Prophecies book was published, birdman sightings had been taking place in the Ohio River Valley for decades. However, it was the aforementioned book and the film adaptation of the same name that tied these sightings to prophesy. In today's episode, we discuss the sightings leading up to the collapse of the Silver Bridge on December 15, 1967.

Twin Tales part 1 - Don't cage the chimera!
Throughout history, twins have been a focal point in mythology, religion, and folklore. But what does science actually know about them?
In this episode, we lay some groundwork for all things twin, touching on known facts and twin types, and wetting out appetites for the more obscure parts of twindom - items we'll cover in a future episode, such as dream sharing and other telekinetic links. For now, we'll bask in the fact that the twin next door might be a chimera.
For all we know, you might be too.

Don't Squeeze the Leprechaun!
The first episode of Immortal Monsters is all about that part of Irish mythology known as the Leprechaun. Think you know what they are? I did, too. Then I fell down the rabbit hole of leprechaun lore and built an altar to the fallen angels. You know, just to be safe.
