      S4 E9: Nahanni Valley the Valley Of Headless Men  Money makes people do crazy things. Like when a handful of men in the early to mid 1900's that decided they were going to go to one of the most remote area of the Northwest Territory in Canada to sift some gold out of a stream. It worked well for some but we only care about the people that died; Some of them without a head. It's weird, it's almost Halloween, and this is kind of a Halloween episode.  Links: Counting Cryptids Youtube Channel

      S4 E8: Time Travelers It's time to come clean. The truth is Jacob and Connor are time travelers. They traveled back in time and under the moniker "What The? Podcast" they produced a shitty episode on time travelers. Now, in this alternative time line, the boys ban together to create an equally trashy episode and save the world as we know it from spiraling out of control.  Links: Counting Cryptids Youtube Channel

The 22-mile-long, 2-mile wide portion of the Mississippi River compares to Loch Ness in size but lacks the depth required to contain a creature the size of a plesiosaur.

On top of their slightly demonic appearance, these beings show up at strange times, behaving oddly, and then leave just as abruptly as they came. Luckily, since they are children after all, they need your permission to come in and fuck with you, so as long as you have a heart of stone and can kick the kids out into a snow storm, you should be fine.

      S2 E23: Slide-Rock Bolter This time, on Counting Cryptids:  We discuss avalanches, Paul Bunyan, and the worst tourist trap of all time, the Slide-Rock Bolter. The SRB is a massive creature allegedly inhabits the mountains of Colorado, waiting on steep slopes for unsuspecting tourists to venture below. With the help of loose snow, gravity, and lubricating saliva, the SRB rockets down the mountain, crashing down on its victim(s). The SRB is said to gain enough speed on its way down, that its momentum will carry it up all the way up the next mountain, where it grabs hold, awaiting its next victim. While spotting a whale sized creature perched atop a mountain may seem like an easy task, the lack of sightings are eye opening to say the least. So join us Cryptid Counters, as we fish around this whale of a tale for yet another episode of Counting Cryptids.

      S2 E22: Ebu Gogo This time, on Counting Cryptids:  We stumble through horrible pronunciations, debate the greater of clocks and knockers, and ramble about some little hairy dudes. The Ebu gogo are cave dwelling bipedal humanoid creatures standing just under five feet tall, with broad faces, resembling that of a monkey. Stories of these creatures emerged several hundred years ago telling of their insatiable hunger, tremendous greed, and fondness for long pig (human flesh). While the Ebu Gogo haven't been sighted for quite some time, the region is littered with reports of small, hairy, humanoid creatures that could be related. To further validate the legend of the Ebu Gogo, in 2003 remains of an individual who would have stood about 3 feet 7 inches in height were discovered at Liang Bua on the island of Flores in Indonesia, the same area the Ebu Gogo was said to inhabit.

This "beast" is pretty much just a panther, but in a place where it has no business, Europe. Though official reports maintain that "No verifiable evidence for the presence of a 'big cat' was found" there has been no shortage of sightings adding credibility to these creatures.

One of the most powerful beings that has yet to grace our notes, the djinn are an Islamic race of spiritual beings.

In the late 1940's a large turtle was spotted in a small "lake" in Indiana. The turtle, later named Oscar, resembled an alligator snapping turtle, which had no business being there, as the species was thought to have been extirpated from the area. Furthermore, Oscar was estimated to be more than twice the size of the largest documented alligator snapper. As news of this record breaking reptilian began to spread, large crowds began to form on the shores of this small town, and the owner of the property prepared for a plunge.

As the name would suggest, these beings resemble earthly insects with humanoid features, most commonly portrayed as a 7-foot tall praying mantis. From being the subject of the finest of art, to setting off the Spanish inquisition, and even being cucked in the corner, there really is no limit to the number of honey pots these beings have their hand-like appendages in.

Tall, scaly, and smelly, these entities are malicious, power hungry, and will stop at nothing to manipulate the human race into doing their bidding. Popularized by celebrity conspiracy theorist David Icke in the 90's, who was actively racing to ruin his own career, Icke proposed that these Reptilian Humanoids had been controlling humanity since the dawn of time. The internet has since run wild with this theory, exposing many celebrities, and nearly every politician, as a so-called "lizard person".

These beings are said to be nearly identical to humans, with the main differences being that they are significantly more attractive, and a little bit taller. Typically being described as "Nordic looking". Unlike most of the things we talk about on the show, the Pleiadians are a kind-hearted, spiritual race, whose mission on Earth is largely that of goodwill. The kind nature of these beings has left their message susceptible to some woo-woo, New Age plunderers, taking advantage of desperate, or naive, individuals for financial gain, with claims of a higher purpose.

Recently a Facebook event was created, detailing "We will all meet up at the Area 51 Alien Center tourist attraction and coordinate our entry. If we naruto run, we can move faster than their bullets. Lets see them aliens." But that is far from the beginning of the so called "Groom Lake Facility". Built in the 1950's for Black Projects (development and testing of experimental aircraft and weapons systems), the facility wasn't officially confirmed until June 2013, under a Freedom of Information Act request. In the late 80's, a man by the name of Bob Lazar came forward claiming to have been employed at a facility called "S-4", roughly 8 miles from Area 51, reverse engineering advanced technology. He claims that the craft that he worked on was not from earth, and was extraterrestrial. Lazar describe 9 different crafts seen at the facility, and claims briefing documents stated the craft came from a planet in the Zeta Reticuli star system called ZR-3. Lazar's credentials are soon brought into question as his alleged past is erased. His Masters from MIT, and Cal Tech, his employment history, and even his birth certificate, all disappeared. Lazar's story, coupled with countless UFO sightings in the area, have made the public suspicious of the area for decades, prompting the current movement scheduled for September 2019. Is Lazar telling the truth? Was the United States Government actually attempting to reverse engineer extraterrestrial technology? And how many of the almost 2 million "attending" will actually show?

Fortunately, for those short on nightmare fuel, sightings of giant spiders have recently been popping up all over the globe, from the United States, to Papua New Guinea, and even England.

It is suggested that these, mostly invisible, beasts are carnivorous, and potentially responsible for a slew of animal mutilations, and missing persons. When one of these creatures dies, they become more visible, and their bodies condense into a quickly evaporating, translucent jelly, affectionately known as star jelly. Star jelly, which is a substance that has been found all over the world dating back to the 14th century, is a well-known phenomenon that is tied to meteor showers, bacteria, and even frog spawn. Could these centuries old mysteries be explained by creatures that have been living above our heads this whole time?
