In this episode we are talking about a few cryptids and a possible ghost pig. From the mountains, woods and even the waters harbor things that we still do not understand. There are creatures all over the world that still have yet to be identified. Come with us as we discover some that call Arkansas home. This is the first episode out of Arkansas in our 50 States series. If you have a suggestion of a true crime case, paranormal, or cryptid, please reach out to us on any of our social media pages or our YouTube channel. Or send us an email at renderthedarknesspod@gmail.com. We look forward to hearing from you.
