We’re travelling to the Northwoods of Wisconsin where the cheese is squeaky, the beer is cold and the scariest thing you could encounter in the woods is the infamous Hodag, a terrifying cryptid that haunted loggers for years. But where did the story of the Hodag originate? Was it really captured at the end of the 19th century? And what, for the love of God, does Paul Bunyan have anything to do with this?!Snuggle up next to the campfire and join us for the infamous tale about the most ferocious beast of the Northwoods🌲👀Story starts: 12:03Welcome to I Scream, You Scream, where Gina & Kathryn serve up your weekly scoop of the most chilling histories, mysteries & paranormal perplexities – all with a side of ice cream!🍦Flavor of the Month: Rainbow Sherbet💀Topic of the Month: Cryptids 🖤Join our Patreon for bonus content, shoutouts, and exclusive treats!New episodes drop every Tuesday!👻Want to share a ghost story of your own?Send us an email: iscreamyouscreampod@gmail.comJoin our I Scream socials! https://linktr.ee/iscreamyouscreampod⭐Don’t forget to hit us with a five star rating wherever you listen/watch! Keep it cool🍦And keep it creepy💀📚Sources: Explore RhinelanderWisconsin 101Wisconsin Historical SocietyGreen Bay Press GazetteThe American Mercury📸Credits:Rhinelander District LibraryRhinelander Historical SocietyEncyclopedia BritannicaYeti&Sasquatch on Monster Wiki

We’re kicking off 2026 with an age-old question: Are mermaids real, or what??? Today, we’re deep diving (pun intended) into the long, tangled history of mermaid folklore, sightings, and modern-day theories. We trace our favorite aquatic friends from the first “real” mermaid in 1000 BC, through famous sailor logs (including a new reason to hate Christopher Columbus), all the way to modern-day sightings. And that’s before we even get to the science part - like how little of the ocean we’ve actually explored, why modern technology wouldn’t spot mermaids, and where mermaids could be living at this very moment.EPISODE CORRECTION: As of June 2025, 27.3% of the global seafloor had been mapped (not 20%).  Story starts: 6:00Welcome to I Scream, You Scream, where Gina & Kathryn serve up your weekly scoop of the most chilling histories, mysteries & paranormal perplexities – all with a side of ice cream!🍦Flavor of the Month: Sherbet💀Topic of the Month: Cryptids 🖤Join our Patreon for bonus content, shoutouts, and exclusive treats!New episodes drop every Tuesday!👻Want to share a ghost story of your own?Send us an email: iscreamyouscreampod@gmail.comOr fill out this form: https://forms.gle/sUXrdjUZUVCs9KSV7Join our I Scream socials! https://linktr.ee/iscreamyouscreampod⭐Don’t forget to hit us with a five star rating wherever you listen/watch! Keep it cool🍦And keep it creepy💀📚Sources: Merriam-WebsterSmithsonianRoyal Museums Greenwich Encyclopedia Britannica Points EastLive Science Women’s Caucus for ArtReactorNOAA📸Credits:Wikipedia The National ArchivesWomen’s Caucus for ArtThe Marine Mammal CenterLive Science Oceanographic MagazineThe Boston Globe Shark AngelsWWFDeep Ocean EducationNOAA

We’re back with the rest of the story of Dear David, the infamous ghost boy who haunted cartoonist Adam Ellis back in 2017.Adam Ellis first tweeted that his New York City apartment was being haunted by a little boy named Dear David in August of that year. What would follow is a string of tweet threads recounting all of his spooky experiences, getting progressively more unhinged as the months went on. Some people call it a hoax. Others say it’s the most compelling paranormal evidence ever caught. Whatever it is, it captured an entire corner of the internet when the world needed it most, ultimately becoming one of the most intriguing ghost stories ever told (real or otherwise)! Story starts: 01:29Welcome to I Scream, You Scream, where Gina & Kathryn serve up your weekly scoop of the most chilling histories, mysteries & paranormal perplexities – all with a side of ice cream!🍦Flavor of the Month: Cocktails💀Topic of the Month: Ghosts 🖤Join our Patreon for bonus content, shoutouts, and exclusive treats!New episodes drop every Tuesday!👻Want to share a ghost story of your own?Send us an email: iscreamyouscreampod@gmail.comOr fill out this form: https://forms.gle/sUXrdjUZUVCs9KSV7Join our I Scream socials! https://linktr.ee/iscreamyouscreampod⭐Don’t forget to hit us with a five star rating wherever you listen/watch! Keep it cool🍦And keep it creepy💀📚Sources: WakeletTwitterLGBTQ NationWiredReddit The Red Treehouse Podcast📸Credits:Adam Ellis

In 1966, residents of Point Pleasant, West Virginia claimed to see a tall, winged creature with red, glowing eyes. Thus, the legend of Mothman was born.
