Weirdos in the Wild

Episode 31: Weirdos in the Wild: Goatman: Hooves, Howls, and Homicide?

Is it a man? Is it a goat? Is it your ex lurking in the woods with a vendetta and a set of horns? This week, we dive into the unsettling legend of the Goatman—a cryptid so creepy, even Bigfoot avoids him at parties. From the sinister backroads of Kentucky to spine-chilling encounters in Maryland, we're putting hooves to the ground and sniffing out the truth. (Hopefully not literally.)
Join AJ and Lynn as they dissect eyewitness accounts, folklore origins, and pop culture goatman-ia in an episode that’s part horror, part mystery, and 100% weird.

Episode 29: Legends & Lurking Shadows: The Mysteries of Land Between the Lakes

In this chilling episode of Weirdos in the Wild, Lynn and AJ head deep into Kentucky’s Land Between the Lakes (LBL)—a region steeped in legend, mystery, and more than a few unsettling encounters. We’re joined by special guest Blaire McDaniel, an expert in regional lore, to unravel the strange occurrences and dark history that have made LBL one of the most haunted and cryptid-ridden places in the state.
From phantom figures on abandoned roads to the infamous Beast of LBL, a creature said to prowl the forests with glowing eyes and a taste for the unwary, we explore the spine-tingling accounts that have turned this scenic landscape into a paranormal hotspot. Could there really be a Dogman stalking the woods, or are these just local legends spun over late-night campfires?
We’ll also discuss the eerie ruins of old homesteads, inexplicable disappearances, and the ghost stories that have left seasoned investigators questioning what lurks between the lakes. Whether it’s cryptids, restless spirits, or something even stranger, one thing is for sure—LBL is not a place you want to find yourself alone after dark.
So buckle up, fellow weirdos, and prepare for a deep dive into the unexplainable. Just remember: if you hear howling in the distance... it might be best to head the other way. 🌲👀🐺
