It's been a little bit since our last episode. Bummer. But to celebrate spooky season we're back with episode 6 featuring... a look back at the life of a millionaire from Texas. Huh. We were gonna do a Halloween special, but we didn't write one. What we DID write was this. Audio was recorded a few weeks ago so it's a bit out of date and came around before our NEW LOGO which we absolutely love. More on that later.

The Witch Owl
It's Hispanic Heritage Month! La Lechuza is an old, old story which is deeply engrained in the oral tradition of many Latin American cultures. Is it a cryptid, spectral being, misidentified owl, or something else entirely? We don't know, but that doesn't stop us from spending almost an hour trying to figure it out.

Next Episode
The Southwest Sasquatch (And The Role of Hoaxes)
Sasquatch has a long and interesting history in Texas. We dig into sightings from the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization database, some known hoaxes, and then wax poetic about whether or not false sightings can be a good thing.
This episode was a weird one. We almost scrapped it and started over, but that seemed a waste. What was supposed to be an episode on Sasquatch in Texas turned into something else entirely, and we're still not completely satisfied with the overall flow. That said, it was a lot of fun to research, record and edit and we'd love to know your thoughts.
See you at Cryptid Con!
