Episode 341 - The Nuckelavee & the Green Clawed Beast of the Ohio River

This week we’ve got a cryptid double feature—and we’re taking our storytelling outside. At night. Surrounded by the woods. Maximum spooky camping vibes. First, we dive into the legend of the Nuckelavee, a skinless horse-demon from Scottish folklore whose rancid breath was said to spread disease and death across the land. Then, we wade into the mystery of the Green Clawed Beast of the Ohio River, a clawed cryptid that once dragged a woman underwater, leaving behind strange scratches and an eerie green handprint. Between chilling cryptid folklore and the dark woods around us, every snap of a twig and rustle in the night had us jumping—and you’ll feel like you were right there with us.
