It's time for a special Halloween episode! Don tells Blake why the Grey Man of Ben MacDhui creeps him out so much, and it has something to do with sleep paralysis. Then Blake talks about a creepy immortal Russian Slenderman. We spice things up by making fun of ghost hunting shows and pitch yet another TV show: Ghostsquatch!

People have been claiming to see pterosaurs in the skies for decades, and white people have been conflating pterosaur sightings with Native American Thunderbirds for almost as long. This week Blake takes us on a journey through the world's various large prehistoric bird things, and we decide what type of hoax we would do if we ever did a hoax.

This week Don tells Blake about Raystown Ray, a lake monster that lives in a man-made lake! How did he get there? Where does he hide? Why does the Visitors' Bureau care so much? All this and our painful half-recollections of the Problem Child franchise.

This week Blake digs into the past for what turns out to be the first cryptid for both him and Don: Mokele Mbembe, a still extant dinosaur supposedly roaming the Congo. Also we talk about paleontology, thagomizers, and the 90s sitcom "Dinosaurs."
Here's a link to the painting by Peter Paul Rubens we talk a bit about.
