Think the holiday season is all cheer and twinkling lights? Think again.

This week, Woody and Tyler pull back the curtain on even darker legends and terrifying creatures that have haunted Christmas traditions for centuries. From the windswept shores of Scotland to the snow-covered peaks of Iceland, we’re diving headfirst into holiday horrors you’ve never heard before.

• Knucklavee – the skinless, horse-like nightmare of the Orkney Islands that terrorizes with its grotesque form.
• Habergeiß – Bavaria’s vampiric goat-woman that’s as bloodthirsty as she is chilling.
• Mari Lwyd – a ghostly, horse-skulled figure from Wales that challenges you to a rhyming duel…at your front door.
• Hans Trapp – the scarecrow-like German legend who stalks the wicked with sinister intent.

And that’s just the beginning. Woody and Tyler also unearth the dark origins of The Nutcracker—a tale far more nightmarish than the ballet suggests.

Plus, you’ll meet Grýla, Iceland’s infamous ogress who feasts on naughty children, and the mischievous Kallikantzaroi from the Balkans, who emerge each year to wreak havoc, and MANY MORE.

So light a candle, grab a blanket, and press play… if you dare.

This is Part 2 of our spine-tingling holiday series, and trust us: the monsters are only getting bigger.

Welcome back to your favorite podcast, That Would Be Rad! This week, Tyler and Woody dive into the eerie and mysterious world of the Catskills Crone while sprinkling in some rad tangents about comic book legends and high-strangeness experiences. This episode is packed with folklore, spine-tingling suspense, and a dose of comic book brilliance.

Imagine hiking through the dense woods of the Catskills and stumbling upon a strange, ancient-looking statue with nails in its eyes and a noose around its neck. Would you take it home? That's exactly what happened to two hikers, and the bizarre events that followed are the stuff of nightmares. From unexplained noises and ghostly apparitions to the unsettling presence of muddy footprints, this story will have you questioning the very nature of reality.

Tyler and Woody unravel this chilling tale, discussing its connection to the rich folklore of the Catskills, including tales of gnomes, fairies, and other mystical creatures. They explore the region's history, its ties to Native American legends, and the possibility of it being a window area for paranormal activity.

But that’s not all! This week, Woody and Tyler also take a deep dive into the genius of Mike Mignola and his groundbreaking work on Hellboy. From his distinct use of shadow and minimalist design to his ability to blend folklore, mythology, and cosmic horror, Mignola has created a universe that feels timeless and utterly unique. Whether you're a longtime fan or just discovering Hellboy, you’ll love this tribute to one of comic’s greats.

And as if things couldn’t get stranger, Woody shares his possible encounter with a skinwalker in his own neighborhood. What started as strange noises and fleeting shadows in the woods behind his house turned into something much more unsettling. Could it be just a trick of the imagination—or was there something watching him from the dark? Tune in to hear the full story and decide for yourself.

Join us as we delve into the documentary The Unbinding, which chronicles the journey of the Catskills Crone from its discovery to its current home with paranormal investigators Greg and Dana Newkirk.

This eerie story, set in the 1950s rural Kentucky, is packed with high strangeness, folklore, and spine-tingling suspense.

Picture this: a warm summer night in 1955, the Sutton family finds themselves besieged by mysterious creatures after a strange light is spotted in the sky.

Despite their best efforts, the creatures seem unharmed by gunfire, leaving the Suttons and the entire town of Hopkinsville in shock.

Tyler and Woody unravel this bizarre encounter, discussing its impact on UFO lore and the media frenzy that followed. They explore various theories—from mistaken identity with great horned owls to the possibility of a military cover-up. The story's legacy continues to intrigue and mystify, as the Sutton family maintained their account until their last days, never seeking fame or fortune.

Join us as we dive deep into this legendary case, examining the evidence, the skepticism, and the enduring mystery of the Kelly-Hopkinsville Goblins. Whether you're here for the high strangeness, the historical context, or just to hear two best friends discuss the unexplained, this episode promises to keep you on the edge of your seat.

Welcome back to another spine-tingling episode of your favorite podcast, That Would Be Rad!

This week, Tyler and Woody dive into the enigmatic and chilling tale of "The Curse of the Crying Boy." Set against the backdrop of the hauntingly beautiful fall mornings, they explore the eerie legend surrounding a seemingly innocent painting that left a trail of destruction across England in the 1980s.

Imagine a painting so cursed that it survives fires that destroy entire homes. This is the story of the Crying Boy, a portrait that has been linked to over 50 mysterious house fires, leaving only the painting unscathed amidst the ashes. Tyler and Woody unravel the layers of this mystery, questioning whether the painting is merely a victim of mass hysteria or if it holds a darker, supernatural power.

As they delve deeper, they explore the possible connections between art and energy, pondering whether emotions can be trapped in brushstrokes and whether these emotions can manifest in the real world. They also touch on the fascinating world of chaos magic and its potential influence on this bizarre phenomenon.

Join us for a captivating journey into the unknown as we examine cursed objects, from haunted paintings to sinister vases, and consider the possibility that some things are better left untouched. Whether you're here for the high strangeness, the eerie tales, or just to hear two best friends explore the unexplained, this episode promises to keep you on the edge of your seat.
