Ep. 29 Discovered Cryptids

What if the monster wasn’t a myth… just early? This week on That’s Kinda Paranormal, Casey and Dave dive into the creatures that lived in the uncomfortable space between folklore and science — animals once dismissed as hoaxes, sailor exaggerations, or straight-up nonsense… until they were officially discovered. We’re talking about: 🦑 The Giant Squid — aka the kraken with better PR 🐟 The Coelacanth — the fish that ghosted science for 66 million years 🐒 The Okapi — a zebra-giraffe mashup nobody believed 🐂 The Saola — a “modern-day unicorn” discovered in the 1990s 🦈 The Megamouth & Goblin Sharks — deep-sea nightmare fuel 🪲 Giant Isopods — roly-polies from the abyss 🦆 The Platypus — the original scientific identity crisis 🐉 And the Komodo Dragon — because sometimes dinosaurs don’t fully clock out Along the way, we explore how cryptid legends form, why science has gotten it wrong before, and what it really means for something to be “unknown.”
