A flying demon horse. A cursed thirteenth child. Napoleon’s brother. Hundreds of sightings. And one of the biggest cryptid panics in history.

This week on Fluff Around and Find Out, Jordan and Dean head deep into the dark forests of New Jersey to investigate the legend of the Jersey Devil — a creature that has haunted the Pine Barrens for nearly 300 years.

From the infamous tale of Mother Leeds and her supposedly cursed child, to the mass hysteria of 1909 that saw schools close, factories shut down, and police officers firing at something they couldn’t explain, we explore the history, sightings, folklore, and theories behind America’s most famous winged monster.

Was it a crane? An escaped kangaroo? A centuries-old hoax? Or is there really something screaming in the Pine Barrens after dark?

Along the way, we discuss:

• The legend of Mother Leeds
• The mysterious Pine Barrens
• Joseph Bonaparte’s alleged encounter
• The Great Jersey Devil Panic of 1909
• Strange footprints, terrifying screams, and police reports
• Modern sightings from hunters, campers, and park rangers
• The most convincing sceptical explanations
• Whether the real monster is the creature… or the story itself

As always, expect plenty of history, mystery, bad jokes, cryptid chaos, and more kangaroo-related discussion than anyone anticipated.

So grab a torch, avoid the screaming in the woods, and join us as we ask:

What the hell was the Jersey Devil?

This week on Fluff Around & Find Out, we're diving headfirst into one of America's strangest cryptid mysteries: Goatman.

From the infamous Maryland Goatman and Kentucky's terrifying Pope Lick Monster to Texas legends lurking around Lake Worth and Old Alton Bridge, we're exploring the sightings, folklore, and witness accounts behind a creature that seems to exist everywhere—and nowhere—in America.

Why do so many communities have their own version of a horned humanoid lurking in the woods? Is Goatman a misunderstood animal, a product of fear and folklore, or the modern evolution of ancient horned figures like Pan, satyrs, and Baphomet?

Join Dean and Jordan as they investigate haunted bridges, eerie encounters, voice-mimicking monsters, and the possibility that Goatman isn't a single creature at all—but one of humanity's oldest and most enduring archetypes.

So grab a torch, avoid abandoned railway trestles, and remember: if something with horns is standing in the middle of the road watching your car... maybe just keep driving.

Deep in the forests of Michigan, witnesses claim something massive is stalking the trees… and it’s definitely not your average dog walk.

In this episode of Fluff Around & Find Out, Jordan and Dean investigate the terrifying legend of the Michigan Dogman — a seven-foot-tall upright canine creature with glowing eyes, massive claws and a deeply concerning sense of humour.

From the infamous 1987 radio song that accidentally unleashed a flood of sightings, to terrifying encounters involving hunters, campers and glowing eyes outside car windows, the pair dive into one of America’s strangest cryptid legends.

Along the way they discuss:

• The original lumberjack encounter from 1887
• The creepy “years ending in 7” curse
• Alleged werewolf connections
• Native American folklore influences
• Campground horror stories
• The deeply upsetting possibility that the Dogman has hands

Expect cryptids, chaos, conspiracy theories and Dean preparing to legally relocate away from forests forever.

From eerie eyewitness encounters and government investigations to theories involving escaped exotic pets, phantom predators, and supernatural “Alien Big Cats,” the duo dives deep into one of the UK’s strangest mysteries.

Expect creepy folklore, sarcastic survival instincts, cursed countryside energy, and the horrifying possibility that somewhere out on the moors… something is still watching.

Because Britain wasn’t unsettling enough already.

This week on Fluff Around & Find Out, Jordan and Dean venture deep into the frozen forests to uncover the terrifying legend of the Wendigo — a figure rooted in Indigenous Algonquian-speaking traditions and far more disturbing than modern horror movies would have you believe.From starvation, greed, and isolation to mimic voices in the snow and chilling historical accounts, the duo explore the cultural origins of the Wendigo, the controversy surrounding “Wendigo psychosis,” and why this legend continues to haunt people today. Along the way: remote hunting camps, impossible footsteps, voices calling from blizzards, modern sightings in Canada’s wilderness, and Dean slowly deciding he will never set foot in a forest again.This episode discusses folklore connected to Cree, Ojibwe, Saulteaux, Innu and other Indigenous communities, with respect for the cultural significance behind the stories.So lock the doors, keep the fire burning… and if something whispers your name from the trees, don’t answer.Topics Include:• The true origins of the Wendigo legend• Indigenous folklore and cautionary teachings• Winter survival horror and isolation• Wendigo psychosis and historical debate• Jack Fiddler and the 1907 case• Modern encounters and mimic voice stories• Why pop culture got the Wendigo wrong Listener discretion advised: contains discussions of cannibalism, psychological horror, death, and disturbing themes.

Todays stories come from folklore and remind us what lurks in the darkness, and what happens when the danger finds YOU!!

Jordan and Dean explore folklore from 19th century London and the Choas Goblin known as Springheel Jack, to more recent mysteries and strange occurrences in the mid 90's, where overly polite children struck fear into the hearts of Texas.

Two very different entities...one common theme; DO NOT open the door; Especially not to creepy kids with Black Eyes and Strange Fire Breathing Demons.

This week we explore the infamous Mothman and the tragedy that this cryptid allegedly foreshadowed.

From its first sightings in Point Pleasant in 1966, to the Silver Bridge Tragedy, there is no denying the fear that this Cryptid set about in West Virginia.

We discuss the first sightings, potential other, more rationale explanations, and have some fun along the way.
