Theories of Bigfoot
<p>Legends of hairy creatures stalking the forests and edges of civilization have been a key part of mythology and folklore since humans first started telling stories. Traditions of Bigfoot-like creatures are shared all over the world, and tie together many seemingly unconnected traditions. But how did they end up becoming Bigfoot, the mercurial wild man that we are obsessed with today? That question is what we seek to answer on this episode of Mythic Existence, as we track down the history of Bigfoot. </p>

The Van Meter Visitor
<p>In the Fall of 1903, the small town of Van Meter, Iowa was visited by a strange creature that had no business being there. Over the course of several days, well-respected residents of Van Meter saw a giant flying creature with a horrible, uncanny smell, and a light glowing from a horn atop its dinosauric head. This pterodactyl-like being has come to be known as the Van Meter Visitor. For a week it haunted the town, until it was eventually hunted down to a coal mine shaft alongside it’s child, never to be seen again. This episode from cryptid history was largely lost for about a century until some intrepid reporters brought the story back to life after reading articles from the surrounding newspapers of the time. But what really happened in Van Meter in 1903? Was this really a monster, or was it a hoax or maybe even an example of mass hysteria? On this episode of Mythic Existence, we’ll get to the bottom of the legend of the Van Meter Visitor. </p>

The Jersey Devil
<p>Deep in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey, folklore says that there is a hideous monster with cloven feet, the head of a horse, and giant wings that flies among the remote forests. This creature is said to be the cursed 13th child of an 18th century witch, and it became to be known as the Jersey Devil. But recent historical research has shown that the Jersey Devil was originally known as the Leeds Devil, and was actually a name given to a family of almanac publishers who were political rivals of Ben Franklin. On this episode of Mythic Existence, we try to get to the bottom of the legend of the jersey devil. <br/><br/></p>
