The Bunny Man Urban Legend
Tuesday Oct 26, 2021
Tuesday Oct 26, 2021
We dive into Urban Legend territory and cover The Bunny Man. There are many iterations of this creepy tale, all of which involve Bunny Man Bridge in Clifton, Virginia. Legend says if you travel to Bunny Man Bridge, walk under the bridge at midnight, close your eyes, and chant, “Bunny Man” three times, a man in an off-white, ragged rabbit costume will approach you and quickly slash your throat with an ax or hatchet. Vicious, right? And it’s just a silly urban legend, right? Surprisingly, there is a LOT more to this story than you might expect. Listen now.

Haunted Leap Castle
Tuesday Oct 19, 2021
Tuesday Oct 19, 2021
Leap Castle is in Offaly county and has been around for centuries. It was even burnt down in 1922 due to tension of loyalties between Britain and Ireland. However, there are many that say ghosts, and other spirits, have deep roots in Leap Castle, like The Priest in the bloody chapel,or Emily and Charlotte who play in the main entrance, or the slaughtered Red Lady who died a tragic death. Others say there is a far more sinister entity that stalks the castle, known as an elemental. But, do we find it believable? Listen now!

The Not Deer Cryptid
Tuesday Oct 05, 2021
Tuesday Oct 05, 2021
This week, we tackle a cryptid popularized on TikTok and Tumblr known as the Not Deer. What exactly is the Not Deer cryptid? Essentially, a deer that is just somewhat…off. Either it looks bigger, or its neck is longer, it's standing on two legs, or even has claws instead of hooves. Definitely not something you want to see staring down your headlights as you are driving late at night. But, how believable is the Not Deer? Listen now to find out.
