Cryptids and ghosts and supernatural happenings - oh my! Lindsey and Erica discuss anything and everything that just might exist.
Hello and happy August! Ever wonder what wonders the mysteriously missing Big Muddy Monster audio held in store? Well wonder no longer!

What's this! Two episodes in two week! Who could have imagined it! I haven't uploaded an episode in so long that Anchor logged me out and I had to reset the password. But in my typical fashion, I'm coming at you with a little baby episode about the Averasboro Gallinipper. It's pretty much a big bug that will drain your blood if you cross it.

Like it or not we are still alive! Erica did an awesome episode on the Big Muddy Monster and then promptly deleted her audio (and couldn't recover it). So instead, we're talking about vampire hysteria and just general vampire-y stuff. No podcasters were physically harmed during the making of this episode. Mentally though? Maybe.

We have arisen! It seems like we're moving toward an every-other-week uploading schedule. Honestly we're doing our best! Life can be hard! But we will bring you a new cryptid as many times a month as we possible can. This week, Erica is diving in to her very recent medical history, and Lindsey is talking about a legendary zoophyte, the Vegetable Lamb of Tartary! Upon listening back to the episode, I realize that the "crab flesh" the accounts referred to were probably the "meat" of the vegetable lamb, not it's exoskeleton. Always remember: I am kind of a dipshit. But we figured it all out now and like... this isn't real, so who is to say the lamb didn't have a crablike exoskeleton?

FELLAS! It's Episode 50. We did it!! Thanks for sticking with us through this, and we know today's ep is worth the wait. Today, Lindsey's talking about the Donkey Lady of San Antonio, a great spooky story from my neck of the woods. While we may never know when this actually happened, we do know that she's a survivor and very strong. And that, if you hit someone with your car, you should not have Erica as your lawyer.

Hello!! It is March again. Don't know how or why that happened. Not to worry, though! This week Erica tells Lindsey about seven (7) different fishmen, two of which are fictional, and takes a deep dive (pun intended) into absolutely none of them :) Lucky for Lindsey and I, the fishman love has extended to the weekend. Lindsey has enjoyed a first watch of Shape of Water (2017) and Erica FINALLY rewatched the movie at 1 a.m. last night with a big tub of eclairs. Please save us from ourselves.

Hewwo wistenews! Today we awe tawking about the Wawel Dwagon of Wawel Cathedwal in Krakow, Powand. Okay that's enough of that.

Also, you can hear us actually draft the email to get info about "Hot Damn! It's the Loveland Frogman". And in case you are wondering, no we did not hear back from them. Worth a shot though.

This episode is only late because Lindsey and I were so busy with our many love interests this weekend, I swear. If we were less amazing and loveable we definitely would have gotten it done on time.

Looks if we've said it once, we've said it 100 times, if you want us to stick to an upload schedule, you are going to have to pay us. But anyway, what better way to start your week than with a spooky story from jolly old Russia? This week we're talking about the sad and mysterious (altho recently much less mysterious), Dyatlov Pass Incident!

That's right, we're talking about some members of Sasquatch's extended family, the Nuk-luk from the Northwest Territories, the Yeren from China, and the Amomongo from the Philippeans.

Allen Hynek! We're also diving deeeeeeeeep into the Close Encounters scale and talking a lot about theory.

Welcome to a holiday-themed Chaos Episode! That's right, we're bringing them back. Fresh off of (not) recording episode 37 and 3 glasses of wine deep, Lindsey recounts the Hopkinsville Alien Encounter that brought Little Green Men into the cultural consciousness. You can tell when I drink a little bit too much when we record because when I agree with something Erica says, I just repeat it back slower.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!! We did it! We finally made it to the spookiest day of the year. (Other than election day . . . but let's not talk about that one) In honor of Halloween, Lindsey and Erica discuss some folk magic and hexes from back home in Pennsylvania. Prepare yourself for a very powerful and spooky hex at the very end! But don't worry; we promise it won't harm you. Perhaps the scariest part of this episode is that Erica finished editing the audio and then immediately did something wrong, deleted it, and couldn't recover the file.

Happy Saturday! It's the first episode of spooky season and I thought it would be nice to play a lil trick on you, dear listener. Today we're talking about the P.T. Barnum of bones, Albert C Koch! P.T. Barnum might also have been the P.T. Barnum of bones but I never saw the Greatest Showman so I will never know. We're talking about two amazing hoaxes, the Chimeric Missourium and the Hydrarchos. If you listen closely there is a third bonus hoax, the Zeuglodon. But these collections of bones helped Koch gain international fame with the public, and international infamy with the scientific community. It's fun to be a trickster. I support him fully.

Today, we're talking about the Burrunjor, the Bunnasur, the Murri-Murra, the Whowie, the Mungoon Galli, the AUSTRALIAN GIANT MONITOR!

Hello and welcome back for episode 29! This week we talk about the goatman (not the one with the bridge even though this one kind of has a bridge too).

Happy Saturday! Thanks for listening to this very special episode of Just Might Exist. Today, we've got a guest host, our lovely pal Kelsey Bastien! She tells us the tale of Indrid Cold, a very spooky alien/used car salesman who was grinning and terrifying people in the 1960s. Honestly, I'm not mad that Mothman came out on top of this pairing, I'd much rather see him than Indrid Cold all over the internet.

Happy Spooky Saturday! Thanks for tuning in to this week's episode of Just Might Exist, where Lindsey is telling us all about the right proper Cornish gent, the Owlman of Cornwall! @ our 1.4 British listeners, this one is specifically for you. I don't know if you're from Cornwall but honestly everything is so close together over there you might as well be.

Happy Saturday! Thanks for tuning in to our LONGEST Just Might Exist episode yet! This week, Erica is talking about three extremely cool ladies, all physical mediums. Apparently ectoplasm isn't the green goo from Ghostbusters and people in the old times were extremely easy to trick. Also we learned how x-rays works; the more dense an object is the brighter it will show up.

Happy Saturday! Thanks for tuning into the 22 episode of Just Might Exist! If you're not wearing a mask in public turn this off right now and go take a hard look at yourself in a mirror. Then go buy a mask on Etsy. Today we're talking about the Moss Man of Florida! I think this is the first episode that starts off with a prank, and boy howdy does Erica get me good. Other talking points include the two Old Greg quotes I could remember and lots of speculation about the hotness of a moss monster.

It's episode 20 babey! We've been doing this for nearly half the year, which is honestly kinda wild when you think about it. We had no idea what was in store for us when we started in February. On today's episode of Just Might Exist, Erica talks about the fascinating and terrifying Gashadokuro, a fantastical writhing mass of bones from Japan! We love a good yokai on the pod, so we will happily share our thoughts. We also talk about how powerful women are too often the villain of the story when they really should be celebrated for their passions.

Happy Episode 18! Today, Erica regales us with the tale of the Ya Te Veo and other man eating flora! How have we gone this long without talking about plants? We are both very proud plant parents, and it seems like Erica wants to add another to her family. In my opinion, there are too many things than can kill us right now, so we should save it until things calm down a bit.

We weren't recording for this part but Erica almost deleted her half of the audio and it was a VERY STRESSFUL 10 MINUTES before she could recover it. Welcome to Episode 17 of Just Might Exist! Today, we're talking about a pretty interesting mystery, the Montauk Monster! Look up pictures at your own risk, it's not gory or anything but the photos are kinda creepy. I first read about the boy when I was reading Cursed Biology Facts on Bunjy's Tumblr. Yes I read every single cursed biology facts and yes it was extremely worth it.

I would like to state that I would have gotten this up by 2pm CST if Audacity didn't pitch a fit at like 1:45. Anyway. Thanks for listening to episode 16 of Just Might Exist! This week, we're talking about the Hodag, a very fearsome critter in Rhinelander, Wisconsin. A fun hoax turned town mascot, we love to see it! We recorded this one in the morning so if the energy is different, well. We just woke up. We understand we have a very small (read: nonexistant) platform, but it's still vital that we reach whatever listeners we do have and encourage you to do what you can to support the protests fighting police brutality across the world.

Sorry we talk about throwing up more than 0 times this episode, quar is wearing on me and getting food poisoning is legitimately the only interesting thing that's happened to me since April. Thanks for tuning in to the 13th Episode (oOoOoOo SpOoKy NuMbEr 13)! This week we're talking about the sexiest shapeshifter on the British Isles, Kelpies! Would I fall for their tricks and get lured in by a Kelpie disguised as a sexy man? Almost definitely, but what a way to go. We also talk about how weird horses are and their stupid finger legs. Horses are dumb but also a little frightening. And I KNOW, I misunderstood the Laird of Morphie legend, you can read a better version that makes more sense here.
