#227 Old Ned’s Devil - The Man-Monkey of Staffordshire
from But It Was Aliens · host But It Was Aliens
The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe several simian sightings from 1878, 1879, the late 1800’s and as recently as the 1980’s in England within the United Kingdom. Is there a ghostly gorilla roaming the lands of the Shropshire Union Canal? Does this creature stalk those who pass Bridge 39? Is this creature cold? Or is the creature responsible for these several shocks actually the lingering spirit of a deceased workman from the area, as the police of the day seemed to believe? Or perhaps a gorilla on horseback roams the British countryside to this day? Was this thing a Pokemon? Alongside that it is pondered as to what gorilla’s like to do with bananas… HERE HE COMES BANANA SLAMMA KONGO BONGO’s HERO. All that and more on this week’s file.Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/butitwasaliensStore:https://butitwasaliens.co.uk/shop/Probe us:Email: [email protected]/Threads @ ButItWasAliensTwitter @ ButItWasAliensFacebook: @ ButItWasAliens - join Extraterrestrial TowersMusic: Music created via Garageband.
