A surprisingly large number of people have claimed to have encountered creatures like Bigfoot, Sea Serpents, the Yowie and the OwlMan. So call 'cryptids' and the study of them, (cryptozoology) have a hugely enthusiastic following. Yet beyond the adventure lies some truly disturbing chilling encounters that do not leave witnesses with a sense of excitement in seeing the elusive creature of the earth...but rather, with a hideous sense of total, hopeless doom.

Join me as we explore a littlediscussed aspect of cryptozoology...'The Nameless Dread'
