Episode 219: Cultural Cryptids

Welcome back, Witches! This week, we're diving into the strange, spooky, and downright unsettling world of Cultural Cryptids. We're exploring the legends of the Black-Eyed Children and the Deer Women—two mysterious figures whose stories have haunted communities and evolved through folklore, fear, and cultural tradition. So get in, Loser, because this week we're crossing the veil into the weird and wonderful world of cryptids that might be closer than you think.
