Today we are doing a battle of the cryptids with Caleb of Scream! Ash is out today and Alaina's sick voice couldn't handle a full case, so Caleb swept in on a white stallion and brought us the tale of the Loveland Frogmen. Alaina shares the legend of the Pope Lick Monster along with the tragic and deadly history of the railroad trestle that he haunts. It's some tragedy mixed with some very whimsical frog/humans. Just what the doctor ordered.

On December 31, 1812, Theodosia Burr Alston, daughter of former vice-president and very notorious founding father Aaron Burr (Aaron Burr, sir!), boarded a modest ship named Patriot bound for New York to spend some quality time with her father who was “freshly out of exile”. Once the ship had left port in South Carolina, no would ever see Theodosia or Patriot again. What happened to Theodosia? Pirates? A tragic shipwreck?

I SCREAM, YOU SCREAM, WE ALL SCREAM... over this true crime case known as the Glasgow Ice Cream Wars. We aren’t all watching the latest Food Network bake-off, unfortunately, this case has everything from assault to arson. It all happened back in early 80’s Glasgow. The streets were running rampant with Ice Cream Van drivers trying to overtake each other and steal the best route which ultimately led to the murder of almost an entire family.
