Cryptopedia - A Paranormal Podcast

After our Mother's Day break, we're back. And future John writing this now realizes how morbid the timing of this episode is! This week, we cover an infamous Poltergeist case overshadowed by a particularly depressing true-crime story.

This week, Brandon takes the reins again, as John comes down off some kind of persistent cough. We almost talked about the cryptid, but someone needs to let everyone know that Damon Albarn of Gorillaz fame is also the singer for Blur.
