Host(s): Abram Nanney, Shane Chism, and Sabir Abdul-Haqq (www.yourebs.biz)Topic: For generations, every culture of people throughout the world have told legends of monsters or ghosts that stalk specific regions of the globe. As years went by, tales of yetis or skinwalkers or other regional monsters diminished and these supernatural beings were relegated to folklore.
