  Episode 97: The Curse of the Crying Boy Part 1 - The Press Barons

  Aug 18, 20261h 3m

  In England in the 1980s, a new haunted object exploded onto the occult scene. This was a painting of a crying boy, a painting allegedly possessing such a dark and powerful energy that it was indestructible. Even after a housefire gutted their home, the owners of the painting swore that it remained unharmed, as if the painting itself had been the cause of the blaze. The most terrifying part: the painting was one of a thousands, and all of them were cursed. This series of paintings of crying children have become synonymous with catastrophe, from death to destruction. Some even claimed the child depicted in the painting was the devil himself. slayingmonsterspodcast.com Become a supporter: supporters.slayingmonsterspodcast.com Slaying Monsters merch: slayingmonsterspodcast-shop.fourthwall.com Pre-order Ana Must Die (Again) by EJ Green: https://zandoprojects.com/books/ana-must-die-again-paperback

  Episode 95: Living Dinosaurs Part 5 - Finches vs God

  Jul 21, 20261h 12m

  Matt, Katie, and EJ continue their investigation into the neo dinosaurs of Africa. Today, we're discussing the history of the theory of evolution, and how it shaped the way some cryptozoologists think today. From Darwin's finches to a Tennessee classroom, the push and pull of evolution and creationism has been an undercurrent throughout the modern history of America. But as the dogmatic movement of intelligent design sets its sights on the American educational system, it's cryptids that are in the crosshairs. slayingmonsterspodcast.com Become a supporter: supporters.slayingmonsterspodcast.com Slaying Monsters merch: slayingmonsterspodcast-shop.fourthwall.com
