American Unicorns
by American Unicorns
Welcome to the American Unicorns PodcastHillery and Laura like weird things. They believe in UFOs, astral projection, telepathy, ESP, clairvoyance, spirit photography, telekinetic movement, full trance mediums, the Loch Ness monster, and the theory of Atlantis. They especially love animals. Especially the special creatures that are referred to as "cryptids," which are legendary animals that are elusive and hid in the dark shadows and go bump in the night. If you are in the weird, strange, and unusual, we should be friends.
