About this episode
Dan starts off the week in Chicago, in the suburbs. We will explore the very well documented legend of the Big Muddy Monster. Did a variety of people see some sort of big, terrifying, bipedal cryptid in a swamp back in 1973? And have people been intermittently been seeing it since? Then we head to our favorite city in America, New Orleans. We explore a less documented legend - the legend of the Carter Brothers? Did a pair of vampires get arrested for murder back in 1932? And following their executions, are they still feasting on human blood in the French Quarter? Lynze is taking us to New Orleans as well, in a tale about a nanny and a harrowing experience she had. Wrapping up this weeks show, Lynze takes us to Pennsylvania for a possible interrupted satanic ritual.

Through our fence, breakthrough thou not… we are protected though we may be frightened. Our life you may not steal, though we may feel SCARED TO DEATH."
