Cornfield cryptids, odd science, practical skepticism.
Cryptids Of The Corn treats strange reports like table talk with footnotes. One minute it is on Bigfoot flaps, swamp monsters, or Sámi mythology; the next it is comparing evidence to bowling lanes, biology, cartoons, and whatever tangent wandered in.

Cryptids Of The Corn is a paranormal and cryptozoology conversation show with its feet planted in the Midwest and its attention pointed anywhere the weirdness seems useful. It has a homegrown feel. Recent episodes move through the Honey Island Swamp Monster, Eastern Ohio Bigfoot reports, Old Hag Syndrome, giant Japanese mystery fish, Sámi mythology, false perception, and a deep-sea oxygen puzzle. The structure is usually loose but recognizable. A bit of banter or housekeeping opens the door, then a case, article, listener request, or guest conversation becomes the spine of the episode. The show is comfortable sounding unfinished in the moment. Corrections stay in. Jokes land sideways. Tangents about bowling lanes, local Ohio distance, cartoons, food, or wildlife show up as part of the reasoning rather than as separate filler. That looseness is also where the show’s editorial shape lives. Strange claims are rarely treated as sealed mysteries. They get pushed, compared, doubted, reimagined, and run through practical questions: what would fit the description, what could the body or brain be doing, what does the witness account actually suggest, and when does folklore start to overlap with biology or bad perception? The science episodes give that habit extra range. A discussion of dark oxygen can lean on dissolved oxygen measurements, microbes, lab simulations, and recalibrated equipment without turning into a lecture. A show about eyes and the brain can become a route back into paranormal reports. The scarier material is not ignored, especially in sleep-paralysis accounts that describe helplessness, bodily invasion, and lingering fear. Still, the show keeps returning to conversation instead of performance. Interview episodes can hand the room to a guest, as with Jeremiah Byron discussing an Eastern Ohio Bigfoot flap, but the familiar dynamic remains chatty and locally grounded. It is for listeners who want creature lore with jokes in the margins, skepticism without smugness, and a sense that the strangest story in the room still has to survive a practical follow-up question.
Made for: Best for paranormal and cryptid listeners who like Midwest texture, casual research, and voices willing to laugh while still taking the case seriously. It also fits anyone who wants folklore, biology, perception, and eyewitness reports in the same conversation.
What sets it apart: The show stands apart by treating monster lore as a practical what-could-this-be problem, not just a spooky campfire file. Its local comparisons, messy banter, and science detours make the weird feel argued over rather than merely narrated.
Welcome to Cryptids of the Corn! We are a couple of buddies with a shared interest in the cryptozoological, paranormal and the plain strange. We focus on the Midwest and the Appalachia regions of the U.S and venture out of those borders. We cover big cryptids, one off cryptids, some big questions on the subjects of the strange, interviews with eyewitnesses and a little bit of a science lesson. We invite you on this journey with us thru this strange, wonderful world of ours. Find us on Facebook and other social media or email us at [email protected]...

A spooky body story that stays grounded in the ugly physical details.
This episode stays with an old-hag story and does not let the physical side of it drift away. It moves through the merging sensation, the rigid spasms, the restricted breathing, and the kind of aftermath that keeps hanging around after the moment has passed.
A fish mystery grounded in real ecology.

A red camel sighting gives the Red Ghost story a sharper frontier outline.
Cryptids Of the Corn gives the Red Ghost story a sharper frontier outline by centering Hamblin's 1883 encounter, where the creature is described as a large red camel with something strapped onto its back. The hosts also point out that camels were being imported into the U.S.
A monster-hunt conversation that keeps the legend grounded in fear, tools, and guesswork.
