Ohio Valley Cryptid
Seemingly randomly uploaded podcast where local cryptid and paranormal "experts" Dan, Mike, and Reese take deep dives into the history of strange goings-on around the Ohio Valley, the United States, and the entire world all while having a laugh or two along the way!
Join us on our journey through all things creepy and mysterious as we try to find out what that sound in the woods or that bump in the night really is.

Ohio Valley Cryptid
The Beast of Grafton
Hello folks! Welcome to our first official episode of Ohio Valley Cryptid! In this one, we talk about the Beast of Grafton, or the Grafton Monster, a little cryptid that bothered a small town in West Virginia. Recently, it's been a bit more well-known because of the video game Fallout 76, but even then how accurate is its portrayal?
Reese's mic is a little goofy sounding in this one, but don't worry, later episodes this is fixed!

We would LOVE to hear any person al stories, corrections, or anything of the like relating to spooky stuff! It also doesn't have to be local at all.
