TWS Episode 90 - ”The Snallygaster”

German immigrants to Maryland referred to a creature known as the "Schneller Geist" or "quick spirit" who would break objects or cause things to disappear. Over time the people of the area would report seeing a creature that would become known as The Snallgaster. A chimera, half lizard and half bird, that would stalk the skies preying upon unsuspecting victims. Returning every 20-25 years to terrorize the rural countryside this cryptid is tied more into American politics than one realizes at first glance. 

Listen as our hosts discuss how this creature's history goes back further than most realize. Marcus discusses it's darker connections to American politics. We discuss if it could be a real creature or if it's possibly from another dimension. At first glance the Snallygaster seems like just another cryptid, but our hosts show just why it's one worth a deep dive into it's history. 

The extended episode of our shows is EXCLUSIVE to our patrons. While it's common knowledge the seven pointed star keeps the Snallygaster away, Vic explains why he thinks it's suppose to. Marcus ponders whether all the flying lizard stories could be connected do to the coal industry.  Sign up to become a patron and get access to this great content by clicking HERE
