SUP YOU BEAUTIFUL KOOOOOOOOOOKS! This episode we're taking a look at 2 specific...ghosts? Cryptids? Hallucinations of mass hysteria? Humanoid...things? Whatever the hell they were, (OR ARE?) they both, much like the more popular "Mothman", seem to be entities that are also the embodied omens of horrific shit coming just around the corner in history! Pray to your many dark gods that YOU! never see either of them! Listen up as we get deep into the folklore, the sightings, and the tragedies and atrocities that their very appearances seemed to foretell. NOTE! This episode is kinda/ sorta part 1 of an UN official 2 parter (one kinda melts into the other...you'll see!) PLEASE TO ENJOY!
