Episode 313 - The Raven Mocker & The Squonk | Haunted Appalachia Cryptids (Part Three)

Episode 313 - Appalachia's Saddest Cryptid & A Shape-Shifting Witch | Haunted Appalachia (Part 3) From soul-stealing cryptids to the saddest creature you’ve never heard of, we’re wrapping up our three-part deep dive into the eerie folklore of one of the most mysterious regions in the U.S. This week, we’re unraveling the legend of The Raven Mocker—a terrifying, shape-shifting entity that steals the remaining years of the dying (so, um… sleep tight). But don’t worry, we’ll balance out the chills with The Squonk, a cryptid that might just be our collective spirit animal—wrinkly, weepy, and dissolving into tears when cornered. And, of course, we have listener encounters that will make you rethink your next road trip through Appalachia. Mysterious figures stalking the tree line, eerie glowing eyes, and creatures that shouldn’t be able to keep pace with your car… but somehow do. PLUS: 🔮 The witchy origins of Ostara and the Spring Equinox (did the Easter Bunny steal its whole vibe from Pagan traditions? Spoiler: yes). 📚 Our latest Patreon Book Club pick is here, and it's already giving summer camp horror vibes. And just in case you were wondering—yes, Bigfoot and the Raven Mocker might be partying together in the Appalachian wilds. So grab your crystals, keep your headlights on, and if you hear something whispering in the woods… no, you didn’t. Watch the Video Version Here . Have ghost stories of your own?
