The Van Meter Visitor! Can I Call You Vannie?

We've been waiting months to get this one to you! We're so proud to introduce you to our home state cryptid. After Vannie (or maybe the 1903 Van Meter Business Owner's Association?) cursed our previous two recordings, we finally appeased her (them?) by assuring Vannie that we will tell the story respectfully. It worked! This mysterious cryptid, who now goes by the name of The Van Meter Visitor, flew into the small Iowan town of Van Meter in September of 1903. Vannie's appearance was quite frightening and even though they appeared to be non-aggressive, the town went berserk! Multiple witnesses claimed to have had an encounter with the large, winged creature who had a few unique characteristics that still baffle us to this day.  We'll see you at the Van Meter Visitor Festival this September! Send a textFollow us on Instagram @WeirdsdalepodcastFollow us on Facebook @WeirdsdalepodcastFollow us on TikTok @WeirdsdalePodEmail - [email protected]
