EP 122 - THE HUAY CHIVO!

I’d like to start by saying that all magic comes with a price and yes I mean ALL magic. So, in this week's episode I’d like to introduce you to a cryptid known as the Huay Chivo. This cryptid has been haunting the people of South America for generations. In the shadows of the night both people and livestock aren’t safe. So grab your drinks and get your prayers in because this story is going to take us on a historical/supernatural adventure. Enjoy!
