Presented by Kay Gray and Crysta K Coburn

We’ve heard about the “normal” encounters with what’s hidden in the woods. Tree knocking with Bigfoot, the waves of Nessie . . . but what about the weirder ones? The experiences that are harder to believe, even when you were the one meeting the creature?

Join Crysta k Coburn and Kay Gray from Haunted Mitten as they explore the stranger side of cryptid encounters. Bigfoot coming from UFOs, a literal sheet ghost; they’ll dive into the Wonderland-like experiences of folks all over the world.

Otherwise, you can be sure that she is surrounded by needy pets while she reads yet another fantasy book.
