If you got drunk and wandered home from the bar in the early 20th century, there was no Uber, no Find My Friends, no Lime bike to help you — it was a strange and difficult time in which to get blasted. But if you found yourself trolleyed in Central America at this point in history, you may have had one card up your sleeve — the protection of the legendary El Cadejo. El Cadejo is a creature blending the world of cryptid and legend into one all-out bad ass dog, and one for Kit and Rory to investigate on this week’s episode.

What they weren’t expecting, however, was tales of a mythic bird, dozens of times bigger than anything they had seen before, with the power create storms and even shoot lightning from it’s eyes like the most powerful of Greek gods.

These vaults were originally created back in 1788 and designed as store rooms for the businesses above.

We all owe Steven Spielberg an apology. Not only is Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull not a bad movie, but it's packed full of paranormal easter eggs and references to REAL supernatural events. Among those, is the legend of AKATOR, an ancient civilization full of golden temples and ancient mummified aliens. In the 1980's, a number of real life explorers decided to head into the jungle to try and find it... but none of those individuals would ever be seen again...

Bigfoot, or Sasquatch, is the quintessential cryptid. It is known around the world, and yet little is actually known about the creature itself — it’s secretive and shy, with strong survival instincts. Which is all the more reason why Albert Ostman’s bigfoot encounter from the early 20th century is absolutely fascinating. Because, breaking with character completely, Bigfoot grabbed Albert out of his sleeping bag and stole him away to his home in the forest where Albert lived with the Sasquatch for days. In this episode we recount one of the craziest paranormal tales of all — the man who was abducted by Bigfoot!
