Perplexity: A Mystery Podcast

Kaydra recently took another trip to Colorado. It's one of her favorite states. There's gorgeous rivers and mountains, the weather is great. There's lots to do and it's relatively quiet. But just like any other place, Colorado has its share of dark history and reputed paranormal activity. So after visiting some new places on this past trip, Kaydra decided to look into them to see if she could dig up any dark or interesting history. She was able to dig up quite a bit on the Red Rocks Amphitheatre, as well as Look Out Mountain and its' ties to Buffalo Bill. Born William Frederick Cody in 1846, Buffalo Bill left a lasting legacy that continues to influence American culture and history. From his wild west shows, to his conservation efforts, Buffalo Bill was one of the most influential characters of the Wild West. But there would be controversy in both his life and death. And some say his spirit still haunts Look Out Mountain. Could any of these Colorado legends be true? Let's get into it. This is the story of Buffalo Bill and some other local Colorado ghosts and legends. ---------------------WAYS TO SUPPORT & CONNECT:Join the Patreon for perks and ad free episodes starting at just $1/month: https://patreon.com/perplexitymysterypodcastHit that follow button, drop a 5 star review, and spread the word!!!Buy Kaydra a coffee and get a shoutout: https://buymeacoffee.com/perplexitymysterypodcast Merch: https://www.bonfire.com/store/perplexity-mystery-podcast/ be sure to tag us on Instagram in your merch!Subscribe on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@perplexitymysterypodcast?si=Q3G0zDaJjUKs0Dj6Website: https://perplexitymysteryp.wixsite.com/perplexityFollow Perplexity on Instagram and TikTok @PerplexityMysteryPodcast.CONTACT: Have a story to tell or want to request a topic?

Australia has no shortage of genuine animals that seem too weird to exist, and the Native tribes here have a rich culture with many stories, including legends of frightening monsters and powerful spirits. Today, we will be focusing on one of these monsters. According to legend, in the waters of Australia, there dwells a man-eating monster. Its howl has been heard by locals and carried through the night air, making people terrified to go near the water. At night, it is said the creature is most active, prowling and hunting for its' next victim. So is this famous tale from Australia just a legend? A cautionary tale? Or could it be real? This is the story of the Bunyip.------------------------SAVE THE DATE! First ever virtual live show coming to you from YouTube Live on Saturday, July 13th, 2024 at 8 pm CST.
