07/16/22 β€’ 1 min

Just beyond the safety of our well-lit cities lies a wild world shrouded in mystery. Down the dusty backroads, tucked away in darkest corners, or quite possibly hiding directly among us, are creatures the mind can just barely comprehend.

Join us every week at the crossroads of what’s fact and what’s fiction, as we journey down the road less traveled to uncover the mystery and the history of these strange beings and learn how our understanding of these oddities shapes our humanity.

in the lofted light between the shadows, we might just find the secrets the earth has kept hidden, the truth of life’s biggest enigmas, and maybe, if we look hard enough, we might even find a bit of ourselves that was previously hidden just out of sight.

I’m Cody and I’m Elaine, and we invite you along to tour Cryptids Across the Atlas.

Cryptids Across the Atlas - PIT STOP: Montana's Curious, Wooly Fish that Stumped Fishermen
play

10/18/24 β€’ 4 min

In 1929, Montana Wildlife shared a story that quickly spread among fishermen across the United States, sparking curiosity and wonder. It was a tale of a remote lake in Montana, so cold that it seemed to defy nature itself. The water was said to be so frigid that fishing hooks, upon touching the surface, would shatter like glass. For those daring enough to fish these icy depths, ordinary tactics simply wouldn't do. Let’s investigate the tales of Montana fishermen’s fears when their catch of the day came up a bit wooly. I’m Cody and Cryptids Across the Atlas is taking a pit stop to learn about animals that used to be cryptids. ---- Cryptid Map πŸ‘‰πŸ» https://thecryptidatlas.com/cryptid-map/ To listen to or watch our weekly episodes, check out β€œCryptids Across the Atlas,” available on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and everywhere else you get your podcast!
