"you wake up and tune into your favorite podcast, as the hosts speak, you feel a tightness in your gut, they are talking about you. you are the Jersey Devil"
Usually i fall asleep to these videos, but when I was about to sleep I was startled by all 3 of them arguing over the last time a goat had rabies and started laughing my ass off
the jersey devil is the one cryptid i think is more interesting when you think it's fake, because benjamin franklin beefing with someone over an almanac so hard that he invents an urban legend that has lasted over 200 years is just too funny
"When you think it's fake." Guys, stuff like this just doesn't appear with no evidence in the fossil record, lets be really real. If you believe in cryptids you are one step removed from flat earthers, sorry not sorry. That said, Red Thread rules.

Charlie's fear of rabid raccoons is backwards, raccoons are nocturnal so if you see them at night it's normal, but if you see them during the day, there's a good chance they're rabid
They also get distemper. And it is absolutely NOT normal to see them during the day. They are nocturnal. Not crepuscular, but fully nocturnal. If you see a raccoon during the day, it’s either sick or it’s been stuck in a garbage bin. ✌🏼
You can befriend them easily and they will come hang out with you during the day. Or if they are just hungry or curious they may come out. Especially the little babies
Just an FYI Charlie is actually a well known cryptid in Michigan around where I live. Apparently the local lore is that he snapped Dogman’s neck and has been living in his burrows ever since.
I think we can all agree that the jersey devil was one of the 13 monsters released by Alexander the Great 3,000 years ago in his quest for immortality and he recently sent him back to hell with the help of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
The Jackson-Wendigooner dynamic is so good. Jackson submissively offers the hole to his overlords, and Wendi always delivers a heavy load of stars and stripes right on target; unconsciously knowing that he needs to let the non-americans know their place. Charlie just sits there like a normal grounded man. Disgusting.
“You wake up for work. You are a content creator and streamer but today you are recording for the cryptid and cold case podcast called the red thread. At some point during this podcast you feel a tightness in your stomach. You brace. Lifting up one cheek. You fart yet no sound comes out. You are Charlie White.

"You fall, the floor is hard and cold. Thousands of eyes are watching you. Your ears are ringing, a familiar sound. The game is over. You are Nico Hischier, captain of the New Jersey Devils."
I just love this weird bat-camel-goat hybrid cryptid. It encompasses everything American Mythos stands and lives for. Weird that they would call it Charlie tho.

Imagine youre out at a latrine, relieving yourself, you finish up, turn around, and a winged, horse headed monster is standing before you, and busts into a Fortnite dance, ending with crossed arms, leaning back, before flying off
I think Jackson does a great job with every intro. He always makes me want to hear more. This one was long be very good. Keep up the wonderful story intros ❤
Spaniard here, concerning the king of Spain, Joseph Bonaparte was well known as a party beast and definetively as an alcoholic, so I'd say that he didn't see the devil in the woods, but a horse or something and because he was drunk he imagined it's devil like aspect. atleast thats the only non-supernatural explanation I can imagine. Great episode!
Or maybe he ran into a wayward sandhill crane. They're HUGE and they're pretty terrifying, they stand exactly the way those old woodcut depictions show, and I know from personal experience they've put the fear of God into religious Christians. Bestie of mine whose since passed grew up in Florida and years ago when we lived together she told me about encountering some cranes. We were both religious at the time, but I was an animal nerd and she wasn't, and she recounted in horrified fearful tones the time she once encountered two "shapeshifter witches" performing a circle ritual out in the sticks, and how the deep evil terrified both her and her dog and spooked the dog so bad it growled and barked, and I looked and her was like "Janay, that's just what cranes do to pick a mate, you saw sandhill cranes perform a mating dance" and she was like "oh". The cranes don't migrate through Jersey, but sometimes one of the birds flies off course and that might've been what people saw, this bigass bird that honks really loud.
Psychic Pebbles has some good taste. The Jersey Devil is also my favorite cryptid. It’s just so weird and unique and its history is so fascinating. I remember a long time ago, when I was a kid I was driving to my grandparents’ house by the coast in New Jersey from the airport in Philly and we were passing by some dense forests with a lot of very thin trees. At one point we passed by a very small clearing with a small pond. I thought for sure I was hallucinating but I saw a small horse with black bat-like wings and a weird whip-like tail taking a drink from the pond. I was tired, half asleep, and it was cloudy and late afternoon so I VERY well was most likely imagining it, but I didn’t even know the legend of the Jersey Devil at the time. I told my dad I saw something weird and he said it was probably a deer. Then little kid me went to sleep for the rest of the drive. When I finally learned about the legend and the description of the Jersey Devil, I was absolutely floored. It sounded way too close to what I’d seen. Apart from the fact the legend depicts a goat head and (as Jackson said) kangaroo-like body instead of quadrupedal, the wings and tail were far too similar to what I’d seen for me to think it was just a coincidence. I’ve believed for a long time now that if what I saw was true, then the Jersey Devil is one cryptid that 100% exists. Of course, it could’ve just been a sleep deprived kid jumping at shadows, but I’m a skeptic myself and even I can’t shake the feeling of how real it felt.
Rabies, let me clue you in. I don't care what animal it is, if it is rabid, you WILL run from it. Years ago, while working as an oil truck driver, I was last back to the shop. Last back closes the bulk plant (large tanks inside a concrete enclosure). While in there, I keep hearing a loud, angry screech. I look out into the yard and there's a groundhog. The yard pigeons are doing their thing and every time one landed, the groundhog would rush at it, it flies away, the groundhog stops and screeches, repeat. So I finish closing up, check the yard, don't see the groundhog and leave the enclosure. A car pulls up and the driver asks if I can fill his propane tank. Sure, I reach for my keys only to realize I left them on the truck bumper. Walk over, grab the keys, turn and begin walking back when I hear a skittering behind me. I don't look back, I KNOW what it is. I run. Two steps up the loading platform, I hear the screech and know the groundhog has stopped so I stop on the steps and look back to see this horrific looking animal that probably weighs all of 4 lbs, is mangy and it's eyes are bulging and literally bloody. And I'm effectively treed by it, lol. The guy with the propane tank is grinning and trying not to laugh and I ask him "is this normal behavior to you?" He says "No, they're usually....." And the thing hears him and rushes at him! He jumps into his car and now we're both laughing. It eventually left the yard but only after chasing a secretary back into the office and attempting to chew it's way through the wooden screen door. So laugh, because it's funny but if you think you'd have reacted differently, I'll call you a liar.
@HavianEla I can't stress enough just how bad that thing looked. I'm surprised it's eyes were still in it's head, there was obviously tremendous pressure on them. It does make for a great story now, though!
I think that's fair, the risk of getting infected by a bite is no joke. Especially since there's no good treatment and you're basically dead once you get it.
@@corenlavolpe6143 If you get bit by an animal that even may be rabid, get rabies shots. Once the symptoms start, it's too late. It can take like a year for them to start.
Such an iconic sounding name for what looks like an ai generated sh*tpost. *"What'd it look like?"* *"uh, upright goat with bat wings and a devil tail"*
Wendigoon is unbelievably funny. A lot of his stuff Flys under the radar to Jackson and Charlie, but man, he's got me laughing my ass off most of the time.
I wrote an academic paper on the effects of religion on the development of cryptids like the jersey devil, then did a radio show episode about the topic. I love this episode, so glad to see the Leeds drama mentioned.
As a kid who grew up in jersey and spent most of his childhood life camping with the scouts, everyone had stories about the Jersey Devil. And I'm fucking stoked for this.
I just wanted to let everyone know that I just paused this video and went on a 2 hour rabbit hole about how wealthy people moved money in transatlantic voyages
That video of the flapping thing was literally the most compelling evidence of a cryptid I've ever seen. Honestly how you could you dispute or make fun of such clear cut evidence of this thing's existence?
My favorite short horror is "You shouldn't hide from monsters. You should go looking for them! Look left! Look Right! Look behind and all around! But, don't look up. She doesn't like being seen."
Fellas do not worry about us not wanting to hear u guys talk about random stuff. Half the reason we listen is for the wacky and funny interactions as long as u guys still get to the other half and talk about the topic
Jersey native here, I’ve seen some shit in that state forest, I grew up on the edge of it and used to hang out in there with my friends and ride quads. I’ve always felt like I was being watched in there, hearing weird sounds, you go deep enough and it’s so easy to get lost. Will never go back in those woods again unless it’s the middle of the day, even then it’s a very weird feeling.
@@duchessedeberne3909 Sure. Believe what you will, everyone has different experiences out there. Like I said grew up by the edge of the woods (not too far from the Atco raceway). My whole life me, my friends, my family would go in those woods and ride quads, bikes, build forts, ect. And for as long as I can remember those woods always felt weird. There’s a dirt road by where I lived that would go for awhile, the one time we got a brand new battery for our quad, me and my dad took it out and the battery just died out of no where, he left me there while he walked back to go get his truck and when I mean those woods went silent. It was dead silent, I felt like I was being watched, no birds, just silence. It was in the middle of the day and I was around 12-13 so I didn’t think too much of it other than it being weird. I got alittle old and I would have to travel through the woods to go hang out with my friends, I would stay out late so by the time I was heading back the sun was almost set and I was riding my bike through the multiple different paths that people have made along the years and again… completely silent, I stopped my bike cause I thought it was weird and I turn around and not too far in the distance was this weird big shadow.. I didn’t stay long enough to analyze it, I just dipped and swore I would never go in those woods unless it was in the middle of the day. Later down the line again, I’m around the age of like 17-18 now. I was riding my bike though the woods during the day and I’m riding down the path and it leads to this junk yard I think and there’s another path leading to the other side of the yard. I look down at the end of the yard and there this shadow again, not big but not small, almost human sized and it had yellow eyes. Again I got out of the woods as fast as I could. Ever since then I’ll never go in those woods alone, especially at night. I warn my friends that didn’t grow up around there to never go there alone. It’s too easy to get lost if you don’t know where you’re going and even then it can be easy to get lost. I grew up going to Batsto and being all around that area. There is definitely something off about that state forest. But again that’s just my story and experience, my uncle and step mother grew up by those woods too and they always say that those woods were always creepy.
Born and grew up in NJ...and still here 43 years later... there was an absolutely awesome Jersey devil book in my elementary school library that I used to take out ALL of the time, I wish I could remember the author
"you wake up from the earthly green, flowing through space and time. Your universal position forever changing. You pass many people as you fly, and you eventually reach a room in a newly built house in Australia. A man breathes in as he begins to blabber into a mic. You have been sucked into his systems. You are oxygen, and you have been breathed. My name is Jackson and welcome to the red thread
Charlie’s right that was a long build up, but it definitely works wonderfully. I rlly enjoyed how each of you Charlie, Jackson, and Isaiah had a part in the intro story it really is a perfect format yall found to introduce the episode!
@@adamcuneo7189 Basically, In November of 2019 a group of hikers would stumble upon a disturbing sight in the Canadian back country. It was a burned out car with various items strewn about. After contacting authorities the truck would lead to a missing man Marshal Iwaasa. Where after some time the items found at the scene would also later be linked to a second missing person, Daniel Reoch
@@adamcuneo7189I'm about to make your f*cking week. Barely Sociable has a video on it, and his channel blew tf up on his very first video due to the impeccable quality of his investigative style. All of his vids are bangers
Even though I’m late watching this.. binge watching episodes I missed, i love the cryptid discussion. It made me think about the Bell Witch. I would LOVE to see you guys talk about that.
Being a Local to the Pines, and having spent many nights driving though the back fire roads, its weird out there at times. Ive never seen anything, but It feels like something is there.
As a Jersey boy I first heard about the Jersey Devil in the woods sitting around a campfire when I was a kid. I always wanted to hear more and was really excited when I saw the notification for this episode. Lots of stuff I didn’t know. Good work boys!
I've been throughout the NJ pine barrens. One of the only things I like about new jersey. I absolutely understand how people could scare themselves into believing a passing deer unmovig and watching them behind brush was some sort of cryptic. The barrens look all the same, all the time. Something that isn't talked about is that the underbrush is up to your knees/thighs everywhere, and there are huge, dense, lines or thickets of bushes that animals tend to use for cover. Its the closest you can get to the backrooms in that part of the country. But, personally, all the time I spent there, I only ever spooked myself, never saw anything.

While in there, I keep hearing a loud, angry screech. I look out into the yard and there's a groundhog. The yard pigeons are doing their thing and every time one landed, the groundhog would rush at it, it flies away, the groundhog stops and screeches, repeat. So I finish closing up, check the yard, don't see the groundhog and leave the enclosure.
A car pulls up and the driver asks if I can fill his propane tank. Sure, I reach for my keys only to realize I left them on the truck bumper. Walk over, grab the keys, turn and begin walking back when I hear a skittering behind me. I don't look back, I KNOW what it is. I run.
Two steps up the loading platform, I hear the screech and know the groundhog has stopped so I stop on the steps and look back to see this horrific looking animal that probably weighs all of 4 lbs, is mangy and it's eyes are bulging and literally bloody. And I'm effectively treed by it, lol. The guy with the propane tank is grinning and trying not to laugh and I ask him "is this normal behavior to you?" He says "No, they're usually....."
And the thing hears him and rushes at him! He jumps into his car and now we're both laughing.
It eventually left the yard but only after chasing a secretary back into the office and attempting to chew it's way through the wooden screen door.
So laugh, because it's funny but if you think you'd have reacted differently, I'll call you a liar.
Good story. Lol
I think I’d be a bit more freaked out, personally, but still! Interesting tale!
@HavianEla I can't stress enough just how bad that thing looked. I'm surprised it's eyes were still in it's head, there was obviously tremendous pressure on them.
It does make for a great story now, though!
I think that's fair, the risk of getting infected by a bite is no joke. Especially since there's no good treatment and you're basically dead once you get it.
@@corenlavolpe6143 If you get bit by an animal that even may be rabid, get rabies shots. Once the symptoms start, it's too late. It can take like a year for them to start.
Such an iconic sounding name for what looks like an ai generated sh*tpost.
*"What'd it look like?"*
*"uh, upright goat with bat wings and a devil tail"*
Wendigoon is unbelievably funny. A lot of his stuff Flys under the radar to Jackson and Charlie, but man, he's got me laughing my ass off most of the time.
I wrote an academic paper on the effects of religion on the development of cryptids like the jersey devil, then did a radio show episode about the topic. I love this episode, so glad to see the Leeds drama mentioned.
Wendigoon is that friend who either cries or tries to fight when drunk 🤣
As a kid who grew up in jersey and spent most of his childhood life camping with the scouts, everyone had stories about the Jersey Devil. And I'm fucking stoked for this.
I just wanted to let everyone know that I just paused this video and went on a 2 hour rabbit hole about how wealthy people moved money in transatlantic voyages
Proud of you for educating yourself about something that interests you! That’s the best!
this was the gas leak episode. 10/10 best one yet
The Age of Jackson is here... Mark my words our boy has become a literary genius
That video of the flapping thing was literally the most compelling evidence of a cryptid I've ever seen. Honestly how you could you dispute or make fun of such clear cut evidence of this thing's existence?
almost 300k congrats in advance
My favorite short horror is
"You shouldn't hide from monsters. You should go looking for them! Look left! Look Right! Look behind and all around! But, don't look up. She doesn't like being seen."
Jackson, you absolutely killed that intro. Thank you for all the effort you put into those, you're really killing it
So Jackson decided after having AI write the last intro he wrote a f***ing essay for this weeks intro?!?
One of my fav cryptids growing up. Truly bizarre and much more a folktale not a creepy pasta.
Fellas do not worry about us not wanting to hear u guys talk about random stuff. Half the reason we listen is for the wacky and funny interactions as long as u guys still get to the other half and talk about the topic
Jersey native here, I’ve seen some shit in that state forest, I grew up on the edge of it and used to hang out in there with my friends and ride quads. I’ve always felt like I was being watched in there, hearing weird sounds, you go deep enough and it’s so easy to get lost. Will never go back in those woods again unless it’s the middle of the day, even then it’s a very weird feeling.
Can you tell more?
@@duchessedeberne3909
Sure. Believe what you will, everyone has different experiences out there. Like I said grew up by the edge of the woods (not too far from the Atco raceway). My whole life me, my friends, my family would go in those woods and ride quads, bikes, build forts, ect. And for as long as I can remember those woods always felt weird. There’s a dirt road by where I lived that would go for awhile, the one time we got a brand new battery for our quad, me and my dad took it out and the battery just died out of no where, he left me there while he walked back to go get his truck and when I mean those woods went silent. It was dead silent, I felt like I was being watched, no birds, just silence. It was in the middle of the day and I was around 12-13 so I didn’t think too much of it other than it being weird. I got alittle old and I would have to travel through the woods to go hang out with my friends, I would stay out late so by the time I was heading back the sun was almost set and I was riding my bike through the multiple different paths that people have made along the years and again… completely silent, I stopped my bike cause I thought it was weird and I turn around and not too far in the distance was this weird big shadow.. I didn’t stay long enough to analyze it, I just dipped and swore I would never go in those woods unless it was in the middle of the day. Later down the line again, I’m around the age of like 17-18 now. I was riding my bike though the woods during the day and I’m riding down the path and it leads to this junk yard I think and there’s another path leading to the other side of the yard. I look down at the end of the yard and there this shadow again, not big but not small, almost human sized and it had yellow eyes. Again I got out of the woods as fast as I could. Ever since then I’ll never go in those woods alone, especially at night. I warn my friends that didn’t grow up around there to never go there alone. It’s too easy to get lost if you don’t know where you’re going and even then it can be easy to get lost. I grew up going to Batsto and being all around that area. There is definitely something off about that state forest.
But again that’s just my story and experience, my uncle and step mother grew up by those woods too and they always say that those woods were always creepy.
It's crazy how the Official Channel's most watched videos are from The Red Thread. Well, honestly, that's the only reason I'm here, too.
Highsaiah calling farts “crispy” is something I never saw comng
Cryptid episodes are some of my favorites, always loved cryptids and love listening to recaps of them
thread boys and girls checking in
There's no fucking way any women watch this show, sorry bro.
@@LazierByTheDay We do!

Born and grew up in NJ...and still here 43 years later... there was an absolutely awesome Jersey devil book in my elementary school library that I used to take out ALL of the time, I wish I could remember the author
Isaiah casually having the start of ruby ridge drawn on his whiteboard in the background
its been in the past few videos hes been in lol i think the last 2 creep cast episodes and the last 2 red threads also
I work every Sunday night and these help me get through the day. Thank you guys!
"you wake up from the earthly green, flowing through space and time. Your universal position forever changing. You pass many people as you fly, and you eventually reach a room in a newly built house in Australia. A man breathes in as he begins to blabber into a mic. You have been sucked into his systems. You are oxygen, and you have been breathed. My name is Jackson and welcome to the red thread
I first learned about the jersey devil on poptropica back in the day, they unironically had a pretty spooky presentation of it
These come out as I clock into work 😂 I’m so hype
Red Thread is the best podcast out right now imo
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 One of my favorite cryptids 💯💯💯💯💯 WENDIGOAT, GOATCR1TIKAL, & GOATSON 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
Charlie’s right that was a long build up, but it definitely works wonderfully. I rlly enjoyed how each of you Charlie, Jackson, and Isaiah had a part in the intro story it really is a perfect format yall found to introduce the episode!
Episode Suggestion: The Pemberton Incident
What is the Pemberton Incident?
@@adamcuneo7189 Basically, In November of 2019 a group of hikers would stumble upon a disturbing sight in the Canadian back country. It was a burned out car with various items strewn about. After contacting authorities the truck would lead to a missing man Marshal Iwaasa. Where after some time the items found at the scene would also later be linked to a second missing person, Daniel Reoch
@@adamcuneo7189I'm about to make your f*cking week. Barely Sociable has a video on it, and his channel blew tf up on his very first video due to the impeccable quality of his investigative style. All of his vids are bangers
@@adamcuneo7189guess you’ll never know
@@adamcuneo7189looks like an unsolved case where 2 people went missing
My auntie told me about the Jersey Devil when I was 7 and I got so freaked out I threw up. I cant wait for some terrifying JD content!
Jersey Devil was my nickname in college.
Nice
No
😏
HELP why was that ur nickname
Even though I’m late watching this.. binge watching episodes I missed, i love the cryptid discussion. It made me think about the Bell Witch. I would LOVE to see you guys talk about that.
✨ Charlie with a pony tail or half up half down is seriously superior!! ✨✨
Being a Local to the Pines, and having spent many nights driving though the back fire roads, its weird out there at times. Ive never seen anything, but It feels like something is there.
Please never get rid of the opening. I love the bit that Jackson comes up with. This was a lil long though lol.
I genuinely have never been more excited for a podcast before
Lol poor Isaiah is just looking around and blankly at the screen being high as all hell on painkillers from getting those teeth yanked
Hearing you guys read legends I heard my whole childhood is so surreal;.
Charlie’s nightmares are haunted by Boeings full of bats and raccoons with rabies. And now mine might be too lmao
As a Jersey boy I first heard about the Jersey Devil in the woods sitting around a campfire when I was a kid. I always wanted to hear more and was really excited when I saw the notification for this episode. Lots of stuff I didn’t know. Good work boys!
Jackson's breathing is is own form of punctuation I can't unhear 😂
I've been throughout the NJ pine barrens. One of the only things I like about new jersey. I absolutely understand how people could scare themselves into believing a passing deer unmovig and watching them behind brush was some sort of cryptic. The barrens look all the same, all the time. Something that isn't talked about is that the underbrush is up to your knees/thighs everywhere, and there are huge, dense, lines or thickets of bushes that animals tend to use for cover. Its the closest you can get to the backrooms in that part of the country. But, personally, all the time I spent there, I only ever spooked myself, never saw anything.
Finding this on spotify first then seeing this here after getting fully caught up.... is bizarre
Love y'all,keep being spoopy
The way Charlie just casually said “he ate her out” 😂😂😭
One of the few podcasts that actually has good intro music I can jam to instead of skipping
This is how every Sunday should be spent ⭕️
Just doing some chores and then getting a bath while the kids do their homework soon ... This is perfect timing!! 😊
Charlie Tail is my favorite iteration of SCP-2436 ‘Penguinz0’ tbh.
Lived in NJ my whole life and this is the first time I hear about the Jersey Devil
