We’re heading into the weekend, and on the Paranormal Network YouTube channel we always get the weekend started with a new episode of the video podcast Cryptid Campfire. This week’s episode was actually pulled from the show’s audio vault, and in it hosts Alexander Daikaiju and Eli Watson are joined by Karac St. Laurent of Crash Course Cryptozoology for a deep dive into the legend of a cryptid called the Ropen. This pterosaur-like cryptid is said to be circling the skies in Papua New Guinea… but is the Ropen real or not? This episode was once a Patreon exclusive, but is now available to the public. So check it out in the embed above!
Here’s the information on Cryptid Campfire and its hosts:
Cryptid Campfire serves as an entry point into the cryptid world where beings such as Bigfoot, Mothman and the other mysterious creatures lurk in the dark. Join us as we attempt to decipher fact from fiction and the truth behind the world’s strangest phenomena.
Alexander Daikaiju is a comic book artist from Los Angeles. He is a walking, talking encyclopedia of miscellaneous Godzilla knowledge. Cryptids often influence his art, so naturally he’s jumping at the bit to discuss the monsters that haunt his imagination.
Jasmine With is an actress with a knack for storytelling. Her interest in cryptids and the paranormal stem back to her involvement with the Ghost Adventures fan community, where she became an acquaintance of Nick Groff. Her organizational skills are crucial to keeping the other members of Cryptid Campfire on track.
Eli Watson is filmmaker from Southern California. Ever since childhood, Bigfoot has been on his brain. And the paranormal activity he experienced in a former residence has only intrigued him more. Since then, Eli has been on multiple squatching trips which only lend to his knowledge of the topics discussed around the Cryptid Campfire.
The series is produced by Jason Hewlett and executive produced by Berge Garabedian.
