Long before European settlers arrived, Native tribes across New England spoke of small, magical beings that could vanish at will, lure travelers into the woods, and cast powerful illusions — the Pukwudgies. Standing only a few feet tall but armed with glowing eyes, poison arrows, and shapeshifting powers, these tricksters were said to bring both gifts and curses to those who crossed their path.

In this episode of Cryptid Files, host Paige Carter explores the deep origins of the Pukwudgie legend — from ancient Wampanoag stories to modern-day encounters near sacred sites like Freetown State Forest. Are these spirits, cryptids, or something even older than both?

Because sometimes, the smallest creatures guard the biggest secrets.

In the tangled wetlands of southern Florida, locals whisper about a creature that smells like sulfur and moves like a ghost through the mangroves — the Skunk Ape. Described as a massive, ape-like being covered in dark hair, it’s said to leave behind towering footprints, horrifying screams, and a stench strong enough to make witnesses flee.

In this episode of Cryptid Files, host Paige Carter investigates the legend of the Skunk Ape — from early Seminole folklore to modern encounters caught on camera. We’ll examine police reports, historical accounts, and scientific evidence that suggest something wild still lurks in the swamps of the Everglades.

Because in the depths of Florida’s wilderness… some legends still breathe.

For more than a century, hunters and locals across the frozen forests of Maine have reported sightings of a towering white moose — a spectral creature said to vanish before their eyes. Described as massive, glowing, and eerily silent, the “Specter Moose” has become one of North America’s oldest and strangest cryptid legends.

In this episode of Cryptid Files, host Paige Carter investigates the origins of this ghostly giant. From nineteenth-century newspaper reports and eyewitness encounters to modern-day theories of mutation and myth, we uncover why so many still believe there’s something haunting the woods of northern Maine.

Because not every ghost walks on two legs.
