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
Melonheads
I wish I was a normal kid, but I got a melon as a head instead! Reese walks us through that story about those big head kids sneaking around the woods, stealing cars, and whatever else they do. Pretty weird stuff, and we talk about why this may have started as a legend in the first place.
This one is definitely one of those stories that has some truth behind it, but how much truth? That's for you to decide!

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