Episode 58 - Alaskan Cryptid Folklore

In this frosty episode of Spine-Chilling Chats, Ang takes us on a chilling journey through the icy wilderness of Alaska to uncover some of its most mysterious cryptids. From the serpentine shadows of the Iliamna Lake Monster to the elusive sea serpent Cadborosaurus, we plunge deep into local legend and chilling encounters. Ang also explores the shapeshifting menace of the Kushtaka, the eerie, child-snatching Qalupalik, the serpent-like Tizheruk, and the towering, territorial Tornit said to haunt the tundra. Whether you're a cryptid connoisseur or just curious about the creatures lurking in the Last Frontier, this episode will leave you questioning what really hides in the cold. Don’t forget your parka — things are about to get Spine-chillingly weird.
