Cryptid Mayhem: Our Favorite Lessor Monsters

See this content in the original post

Welcome To The Oddity Shop, Where The Bizarre is Always on Sale.  This week, your curator Zach is talking about his favorite Lessor Cryptids

What happens when a magical wand-wielding frogman, a melancholic squonk, and a thrilling Giwoggle, and a killer worm all collide in a single podcast episode? Our newest episode brings together quirky tales and cryptid adventures.

We deep dive into the lore and history of the Loveland Frogman as they cast sparks at passerby's, the Squonk who is just the saddest boy ever, The Witchy Summon of the Giwoggle sent to terrorize farmers, and the Mongolian Death Worm legend that apparently kills throughout the desert.

Before wrapping up, we share our excitement about attending the Mid-Michigan Paracon and encourage our listeners—whether critters or cryptids—to say hello and feel the love we have for each of you.
