Hey Campers, I hope you are having a great week so far. I’d like to reintroduce you all to one of the most legendary cryptids out there, a Yeti! Now what do we really know about this Cryptid? Maybe that they are covered in all white fur, that they live in the Himalayan Mountains and also maybe that they are related to Bigfoot! Well take that along with you while you listen to this week's episode and let me add some more knowledge to your idea of a Yeti. Get your drinks and blankets ready and enjoy this week's episode.
