Episode 75 - Things that go BUMP in the Mountains

Colorado may be known for its breathtaking mountains and endless outdoor adventures—but beneath those postcard-perfect peaks lurk legends that’ll make you think twice before planning your next camping trip. In this eerie episode, Ang takes you deep into the wild and weird side of the Rockies to uncover the cryptids, creatures, and ghostly tales that have haunted locals for generations. From the infamous Bigfoot sightings and the flesh pedestrians who prowl the night, to the Slide-Rock Bolter—an enormous, tourist-eating land fish said to slide down mountains—you’ll meet the monsters that make Colorado a cryptid capital. But that’s not all. Ang also shares chilling folklore like the Tailypo, the creature that comes scratching at your cabin door whispering for its missing tail… the Augerino, a mysterious underground worm said to drain rivers and ditches dry… and the mischievous Tommyknockers who still tap-tap-tap in abandoned mines. Finally, she unearths the haunting tale of the Vampire of Lafayette, a grave that still draws curious visitors and late-night shivers. So grab your flashlight, zip up your sleeping bag tight, and settle in—because tonight, we’re finding out exactly what goes bump in the Colorado mountains. Listen if you dare… and maybe leave the night hikes to someone else.For episodes like this and more check out our website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.spine-chillingchatspodcast.com⁠⁠⁠⁠If you have a paranormal experience, glitch in the matrix, alien abduction or late-night sexual encounter with the fae please send them in to us!
