Cryptid Crawl #23- Minnesota! Cryptids from the Land of 10,000 Lakes

Our 23rd stop on the Cryptid Crawl is The North Star State, Minnesota! This beautiful but cold land has a reputation for being nice. The lakes? Hmmm... Maybe not all of them. Join us as we head north to dig into the cryptic legends of the Land of 10,000 lakes, and just as many mysteries. We explore a mystery that blurs the line between hoax and horror with the Minnesota Ice Man, then lean Into a creepy haunted lake with a story that will make you never want to swim again, and end with a river/lake monster with a history that goes waaaaayyyy back- not to mention a $50,000 dollar reward that nobody has claimed yet! Maybe it will be The Spooky Darlings that finally get the prize?Sources:https://scienceignored.fandom.com/wiki/Minnesota_Iceman?utm_source=chatgpt.comhttps://www.discoveryuk.com/mysteries/unveiling-the-mystery-of-the-minnesota-iceman/?utm_source=chatgpt.comhttps://www.scientificamerican.com/blog/tetrapod-zoology/a-review-of-neanderthal-the-strange-saga-of-the-minnesota-iceman-part-1/https://tetzoo.com/blog/2023/9/4/review-of-neanderthal-heuvelmans-2016Minnesota Historical Society Book of Days AlmanacVisit Lake City MN — https://www.visitlakecity.org/pepie-the-lake-pepin-monster/Star Tribune — https://www.startribune.com/lake-pepin-s-rumored-creature-may-be-folklore-come-to-date/267579381Daily Yonder — https://dailyyonder.com/lake-pepin-monster-fires-up-peoples-imaginations-and-local-economy/2021/05/07/Folk Bestiary — https://folkbestiary.com/minnesota/Thieves River — https://thievesriver.com/blogs/articles/minnesota-cryptids-other-legendary-creaturesHangar 1 Publishing — https://hangar1publishing.com/blogs/cryptids/minnesota-cryptidsMessage us!Thanks for listening to The Spooky Darlings!
