E312 Our AIM Renaissance and our Cryptid Festival Year

TOPICS: THE VAN METER VISITOR, THE CONNECTICUT RIVER VALLEY KILLER


A black and white sketch of a winged creature with a beak like face and a beam of light coming from it’s forehead. It’s standing on hind legs with its winged arms touching the ground. Text underneath reads “Artist interpretation of a more antediluvian Van Meter Visitor potential (Artwork by Kevin Lee Nelson)”

Two side by side composite sketches of a white male, one with glasses one without. The sketch on the right is tinted pink. Both are sketches of the Connecticut River Valley Killer.

In episode 312 we're suggesting you chew on Dr. Scholl's shoe inserts at your own risk. But we are recommending a cryptid festival road trip for any who'd like to partake! And we're starting with the topic of Em's story this week, the Van Meter Visitor, or as Christine dubbed them, a time traveling monster with headlamps. Then Christine covers the brutal case of the Connecticut River Valley Killer, an unsolved 70's serial killer we can only hope is identified one day. And shout out to the video that's still up and available on the Beach Too Sandy, Water Too Wet YouTube of Christine's worst birthday party including a piñata full of beans... and that's why we drink!
