Merfolk: Cryptids of the Abyss

This week we dive deep and investigate Merfolk! We take a look at the history behind these ancient creatures and how they were once worshipped as gods. We look at a handful of recorded accounts made by famous explorers like Columbus, John Smith and even Blackbeard the pirate. We take a look at the Aquatic Ape Theory, which suggests our early ancestors slip and while we went off to the savannah some stayed on the coastline and actually went out into the ocean. To help Almost Canon grow, please leave a rating and a review. We are an independent podcast trying to grow a community from the ground up and we need all the support we can get to make this thing work!With your monetary support we can purchase new equipment as well as take Almost Canon on the road. There are several haunted hotels we'd like to investigate and podcast from like the Omni Mount Washington Resort, home of the infamous Bretton Woods Confrence and the Manchester Resort and Spa, where Mrs. Lincoln is still said to reside.
