Q: Where can Popfrogs be found?It was very difficult to determine where Popfrogs currently live - they are adept hiders! Using our knowledge of frogs, cryptid clues, and a few good guesses, the BCWPA team was able to locate the four remaining Popfrogs in the world. While they could thrive elsewhere, for some reason they are stuck here, in western Ohio, hidden in some of the state's small swamps. Next time: The team follows Rosie the Ribbiter - the last female Popfrog in existence, lovingly named by the BCWPA.CREDITSThe Day We Met by Beat Mekanik is licensed under a Attribution 4.0 International License.

Ohio once was covered in more swampland - and populated by more strange and dangerous creatures within those swamps... From howling dogmen to aggressive bigfeet, gigantic snakes, and ominous, glowing orbs, Ohioan swamps remain active cryptozoological spots. Contained in diminishing biomes, the rarest of these swamp-dwelling creatures are a collection of amphibian cryptids; an oversized frog is the most endangered.CREDITSNostalgia by A.

In Riverton, Virginia, in the 1870's, a truly horrific event occurred: an entire family was found deceased in their home - which had its own haunting clues. Called by the Department of Justice to determine if mass murder occurred, the Pinkerton National Detective Agency gave the case a quick, uncomfortable look over. Less than a day later, they determined that those inside were victims of natural, yet unknown, causes.CREDITSUndercover Vampire Policeman by Chris Zabriskie is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Source: http://chriszabriskie.com/uvp/Artist: http://chriszabriskie.com/This public broadcast is made possible thanks to these BCWPA Agents: Brandon Ruch, Colten Williams, Daniel Berry, Donovan Scherer, Kimberly Nichols, Layla Leutwyler, Madelynn ODell, Matthew Schang, Pyper Wilson, Lenin Roman, Ronald Miller, PHouseGames, Anthony Ferries, Dandan, Fox & Brambles, Jim Walke, Claire, Hallesy, Heather, HELGA, Kris Mitchell, Kylie Reed, Rick Belcher, Cryptid Clyde, T.

Many dangerous creatures lurk in the Appalachian Mountains. Transmogrified animals - those transformed by magic - are some of the most threatening.

Have you ever seen something strange in the sky? A bug that also looks not like a bug? A translucent thing that you catch only a glimpse of? A cloud that does not move like a cloud? An unsettling blip on a photo?People once thought that the bottom of the ocean was devoid of life, too extreme for anything to exist. Too lightless, too cold, too crushing, too empty. They were wrong. Even four miles down into the ocean's depths, life exists. Mirroring this mysterious place, there is a similar ecosystem high in the sky, filled with animals parallel to those marine creatures found far below.THEME SONGDeparting Duillond at Sunrise by Hole DwellerEPISODE SONGS (listen to and download on the Free Music Archive)Maarten Schellekens - Just WonderingLobo Loco - Raining Softly (ID 1827)Aaron Ximm - Angela Climbs a Boulder at Horn Creek, the Sun Sets, the Bat Flies ByAaron Ximm - SirenityAaron Ximm - Pole StarsAaron Ximm - Spring RainMaarten Schellekens - A Better WorldKirk Osamayo - DiscoveryKirk Osamayo - A Fleeting ThoughtKirk Osamayo - TimeKirk Osamayo - TiredKirk Osamayo - Emotional SilenceKirk Osamayo - Blinking LightsKirk Osamayo - CloudsKirk Osamayo - Twinkling LightsKirk Osamayo - PrayKirk Osamayo - Before The Light Peaks ThroughKirk Osamayo - Early Morning Self ReflectionKirk Osamayo - Top SpeedRichard Spasoff - 2 Sci-Fi 30 sec Intro & Outro MusicSOUND EFFECTS FROM FREESOUND (in order of use)"AutumnBlackForest" by RandomRecord19"20150721_seagulls.01.flac" by dobroide"Office ambience.mp3" by Nightwatcher98Bike, Chain Spinning, Fast, 02-01.wav by InspectorJmounts.wav by levelclearerCD_LUMIERE_007FX_Whale_2.wav by kevp888Cold Breeze Ambience.wav by SiyaMahloboOwl Hoot by freemaster2Party Pack, Balloons, Popping, 02-01.wav by InspectorJReleasing Balloon.mp3 by Percy DukePiano, Metal Mallet, Scrape, Full String, Damp, Short, A.wav by InspectorJCthulhu growl.wav by cylon8472Monster Screeching by MeijstroAudioD215 Spear into Water.wav by billcutbillThunder, Very Close, Rain, A.wav by InspectorJHeavenly_Horn.mp3 by 13NHarriWater_Spitting by orginaljunand other works in Creative Commons 0Support the showIn the Field Instagram.
