Jason Offutt returns to The Paranormal Podcast to take us around the world in search of strange creatures, cryptids, and legends from his new book, Chasing the World’s Monsters. We dig into something especially fascinating: why remarkably similar monster traditions turn up in widely separated cultures and across thousands of years. From Bigfoot-like creatures and mysterious little people to Thunderbirds and dragons, some of these parallels are awfully hard to dismiss as simple coincidence.
We also get into the big question of where folklore ends and something potentially real begins. Jason shares why he thinks the supposedly extinct thylacine could still be out there, we talk about Thunderbirds and reports of creatures that seem downright prehistoric, and we explore why eyewitness accounts from people who genuinely know the wilderness deserve more consideration than they sometimes get. If you love strange creatures, unexplained encounters, and stories that make you wonder what might still be hiding out there, this is an episode you’ll want to hear.
