PIT STOP: The Mythical Sea Unicorn EXPOSED

In the icy depths of the Arctic waters, where the sea blurs into the endless night sky, legends speak of a creature as mystical as the aurora borealis itself.

Among the Inuit, it was whispered that a ghostly beast roamed these frigid seas, its long, spiraled horn cutting through the cold mist. This "unicorn of the sea" was steeped in mystery and awe, its horn believed to possess magical powers capable of countering poison and curing melancholy.

Let’s tread the frozen waters of the great white north in search of the most mystical of beasts idolized by fantasy lovers the world over.

I’m Cody, and Cryptids Across the Atlas is taking a pit stop to learn about animals that used to be cryptids.

Sinkhole Sam: How This Kansas Cryptid Became a Symbol of Satire

When you think of Kansas, you probably envision golden fields and windmills that go for miles. If you’re simply passing through, driving down the flat highways doesn’t typically drum up exciting stories of legendary beasts. But don’t let these sweeping plains fool you.

PIT STOP: The Deep Sea Exploration Straight Out of a HORROR FLICK

As deep-sea exploration began to push the boundaries of human knowledge, something remarkable happened. The creature that had haunted the dreams of seafarers for generations was finally brought into the light. It was a strange and unsettling sight—its skin a pale, pinkish-gray, its elongated snout more fearsome up close, and its jaw mechanism a marvel of evolutionary design. This creature, with its uncanny ability to project its jaw forward like a spring-loaded trap, seemed almost too strange to be real. Let’s take a dive down to the water’s depths where a monstrous creature seemingly straight out of a horror flick is patiently awaiting its next victim. I’m Cody and Cryptids Across the Atlas is taking a pit stop to learn about animals that used to be cryptids. ------

PIT STOP: New Guinea’s Ghostly Voices that Haunt the Hills

The locals spoke of these beings as ghostly figures, moving like shadows among the trees—seldom seen but always heard. Their songs were said to hold deep meaning, predicting the weather and serving as omens for those who understood their melodies. To the indigenous people, these creatures were as much a part of the landscape as the mountains themselves, embodying the spirit and mystery of the highlands. If you ever find yourself deep in the New Guinea mountains, you might just hear the calls of the New Guinea Singing Dogs.

Let’s open our ears and listen for the haunting calls of an animal so mysterious it was believed to be the haunting voices of those beyond the veil. I’m Cody and Cryptids Across the Atlas is taking a pit stop to learn about animals that used to be cryptids.

Hodag: Wisconsin’s Spine-Chilling Cryptid STALKS the Woods – Beast or MYTH?

What has spikes down the entire length of its body, a fistful of needle-sharp pointed spears at the end of its tail, and fangs that would rival a saber-tooth tiger as it could easily rip out the belly of the biggest bear? If you ask a few Wisconsin residents about a terrifying creature that seems to be living amongst them but hiding in plain sight, they might share their own Hodag encounters with you. But it's up to you to decide whether you can believe their tales. After all, the Hodag may be the scariest beast in all of Wisconsin. Or, it may be the biggest hoax they've drummed up yet.

PIT STOP: Amphibian Evolution, A Direct Link to the Past?

The Western Ghats, recognized as one of the world’s eight "hottest hotspots" of biological diversity, is a land where the line between myth and reality often blurs. Among the countless tales whispered by the locals, one stood out: a creature with oddly colored dusk-like skin, known to emerge only with the monsoon rains and vanish as swiftly as it appeared, leaving behind nothing but stories passed down through generations. Let’s hunt for a small, monsoon-loving, peculiar, purple creature that has hopped from obscurity into the realm of scientific discovery and a bit of Meme culture. - I’m Cody, and Cryptids Across the Atlas is taking a pit stop to learn about animals that used to be cryptids. ----- Cryptid Map 👉🏻 https://thecryptidatlas.com/cryptid-map/ To listen to or watch our weekly episodes, check out “Cryptids Across the Atlas,” available on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and everywhere else you get your podcast!

PIT STOP: Montana's Curious, Wooly Fish that Stumped Fishermen

In 1929, Montana Wildlife shared a story that quickly spread among fishermen across the United States, sparking curiosity and wonder. It was a tale of a remote lake in Montana, so cold that it seemed to defy nature itself. The water was said to be so frigid that fishing hooks, upon touching the surface, would shatter like glass. For those daring enough to fish these icy depths, ordinary tactics simply wouldn't do. Let’s investigate the tales of Montana fishermen’s fears when their catch of the day came up a bit wooly.

In the depths of the jungle lives a Devil Bird of the night whose cry was said to be the last sound you'd ever hear. And its black, hollow eyes that reflected nothing but her torment, her cray, a haunting, mournful wail, carrying the weight of her endless grief, and horns that jutted from her head like a crown of despair, the spot bellied eagle owl was a sight that could freeze blood.

Umibōzu: The Tentacled Sea MONSTER GHOST that PREYS on Japanese Sailors

Japan is known for many yokai-cryptid types. One such cryptid is a terrifying sea phantom that's said to emerge from the depths of calm waters on moonlit nights. This dark, shadowy presence is said to bring upon torrential downpours, rocky waters, and stormy nights as it towers over unsuspecting sailors. Legend has it that the Umibōzu is said to ask one simple question just before attacking sailors and capsizing their ships—answer the riddle incorrectly, and the ocean might become your early grave.

PIT STOP: Electrifying Australian Mermaid Once Considered a Hoax

What began as a subject of ridicule became a cornerstone in the study of Australian wildlife. The platypus, once dismissed as a mere oddity, now stands as a testament to the wonders of evolution and the surprises nature still holds. It serves as a reminder that sometimes, the truth is stranger than fiction—and that even the most skeptical minds can be swayed by evidence that is impossible to ignore. Let’s uncover the bizarre mystery behind a creature scientists declared so bizarre, it was quite literally impossible to ever exists… at least, until it did.

Snallygaster: Eldritch Horror HAUNTS and HUNTS Maryland Town (It Gets Messy)

The term “eldritch horror” has seen a lot of popularity in the darker corners of the internet. Monstrous beings like Cthulhu have cemented themselves in popular culture. But what if H.P. Lovecraft, the founder of Cosmic Horror, wasn’t the first to create such artistic works? What if Lovecraft borrowed inspiration from something far more tangible than we ever hope to admit? Well, according to Maryland locals, the Snallygaster, a beast depicted as a massive, part bird-part reptilian beast with huge wings, metallic talons that resembled steel hooks, one single eye right in the center of its head, and a long, pointed, razor-sharp beak that was lined with rows of razor-sharp teeth and has been rumored to uncurl a set of long tentacles from out of its throat and then wrap around its victim’s wounds and begin to use the suction cups along those tentacles to drain it’s victims dry. And yes, it is as scary as it sounds. ------- CHAPTERS: 00:00 - Start 01:08 - H.P.

Skunk Ape: Swamp Beast STALKS Florida Family, Caught on Camera

When hundreds of Florida residents reported a large, hairy beast breaking into their homes, stealing their belongings, and torturing their beloved pets in 1973, badged officials were brought in to oversee the crime scenes. But having always showed up just a little too late, the unknown cryptid seemed to always be a few steps ahead. From seeing the beast from afar on dark nights to seeing something strange waddle through the Florida Everglades, almost 30 years had gone by without any trace. That is, until one anonymous woman in 2000 caught the bigfoot figure red-handed in her backyard, and she just so happened to get it on camera.

PIT STOP: Unicorn SIGHTED in the Congo - Turns out to be COMPLETELY REAL

Let’s take a look into the discovery of a patchwork creature that was once deemed a legendary tale. I’m Cody and Cryptids Across the Atlas is taking a pit stop to learn about animals that used to be cryptids. As English explorers ventured deeper into central Africa during the late 19th century, they began to hear tales from the local inhabitants that sounded like something straight out of a fantastical storybook. The natives spoke of a horned creature of mythical proportions, one that was nearly impossible to track down. These Englishmen, with only the vaguest descriptions to go by, could only imagine what they believed to be a "Great Congo Unicorn." --- Cryptid Map 👉🏻 https://thecryptidatlas.com/cryptid-map/ To listen to or watch our weekly episodes, check out “Cryptids Across the Atlas,” available on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and everywhere else you get your podcast!
