EP 102 - BOO HAGS!

Time to wrap up our time here in North Carolina and what better way to do that then with a story. This week I’d like to tell you about a vampiric cryptid that has been haunting the lands since the 1500’s. There have been stories told about a predator that hunts at night in search of human victims. No amount of security could prevent this cryptid from getting into your house and trying to steal your soul and not only that, it'll even take your skin as a prize if given the chance. For this week's episode I’d like to introduce you all to the Boo Hag. Enjoy!
