In this episode of Kraken Cans Cast, we dive hairy knuckles-first into the terrifying and bizarre legend of La Mano Peluda—the severed, hairy hand that’s haunted generations across Latin America. From its origins as a spooky bedtime threat to full-blown ghost stories featuring poisoned fingernails, eyeball-snatching, and cursed pawn shop owners, this legend is no joke… unless you’re Mike, who thinks blaming the Hook Man for “parking” is a valid strategy.

We explore versions from Mexico, Colombia, and even Dartmoor, England (yes, apparently hairy ghost hands drive stick in the UK too). So crack a cold one, keep your feet under the covers, and pray you don’t feel a hairy hand creeping up the side of your bed tonight.

This week, Kraken Cans Cast cracks a cold one and heads into the chilling wilderness of Portlock, Alaska — a once-thriving fishing town that was mysteriously abandoned. We dive into the history of Portlock’s founding, the unsettling monster sightings that began in the early 1900s, and the mass exodus that left the town deserted. We explore retired police investigator Larry Baxter’s modern investigation into the legend, cover Extreme Expeditions Northwest’s daring expedition into the abandoned town, and break down the leading theories behind Portlock’s dark past. Was it a mysterious creature lurking in the woods… or something easily explained?

Grab a beer and join us as we follow the tracks of one of Alaska’s most chilling mysteries.

Grab a cold one and settle in, because this week on Kraken Cans Cast, we’re heading deep into the West Virginia hills to uncover the eerie legend of the Flatwoods Monster. What began as a fiery streak across the sky on September 12th, 1952, turned into one of the strangest—and most debated—series of cryptid encounters ever reported.

We walk through all three of the infamous sightings tied to the Flatwoods case, starting with the terrifying tale of the May brothers and their squad of small-town investigators (including the real MVP, their dog Ritchie). From there, we dive into two more creepy encounters that only deepen the mystery: new witnesses, new details, and more questions about what exactly landed on G. Bailey Fisher’s farm that night.

Expect glowing eyes, chemical fog, a towering figure with a spade-shaped head, and the kind of small-town chaos that only happens when kids, UFOs, and monsters collide. We also hit you with our signature folklore score and—of course—a beer pairing that is a first for the cast.

So turn off the lights, shine your flashlight into the woods, and crack a can with us as we ask: What the hell happened in Flatwoods?

In 1903, the quiet town of Van Meter, Iowa, found itself under siege by a nightmarish creature—part bat, part bird, part pure terror. Witnesses described a towering winged beast with a glowing horn, bulletproof skin, and an eerie, otherworldly presence. But rather than flee, the townsfolk armed themselves and prepared for battle. In this episode, we break down the chilling encounters, the town’s desperate attempts to confront the Visitor, and the lingering mystery of what (or who) might still be lurking in the shadows. And for a little extra fun, we pit the Van Meter Visitor against other legendary cryptids in a no-holds-barred cryptid showdown. Who comes out on top? Tune in to find out!
