      I wish he was more accurate.
      Like a lot of the Satanic imagery we see today that he mentioned is modern.
      For example, the pentagram isn't suppose to be just an inversion of a regular star, it has a more detailed history among different cultures and religions.
      The upside down cross is originally a Christian symbol of St Peter who felt unworthy of being crucified like Jesus so he requested to be crucified upside down.

    • @DotKom01

      His objective and non-biased approach to the subject of religion has kind of fostered a community where people from different religions or people who aren't religious can talk about their beliefs and educate each other without being hostile. That's a crazy feat online.

      He’s a Sunday school teacher! It’s literally his job to help others learn about the Bible! Was never really religious myself but through watching his rise from the very beginning (the algorithm blessed me w his 1st ep of the conspiracy iceberg) I’ve found myself to be more curious about the word of the lord and I’m even beginning to seek it out on my own. I find a lot of religious Christian’s to be… um… quite over enthusiastic… I guess would probably be the least offensive way to put it… , myself. So his way of not being pushy and simply connecting stories he hears (whether it be folklore or related to true crime or whatever the case) to what he knows and is comfortable with and not being the type of “you know I think THIS and if you don’t, you’re just dumber than me” Christian most of us encounter is incredibly refreshing! Wendis awesome! I’ve learned so much from him!

      For the most part.
      It all gets real shaky when he starts talking Christian stuff, based on what his pastors have told him I'm guessing.
      Because, you know, "satanic cross being an inversion" when the symbol is well documented as being a Christian symbol until the 60's.
      It comes from St. Peter being crucified upside down because he refused to be put on the same level as Jesus, it was a humility thing.
      Also, the whole unironically believing Satanism was ever really existed and wasn't just something Christians labelled various forms of Paganism/Occultism.

    I think the actual creepy aspect of Anasi's Ghoatman Story is that the campers consisted of two separate groups, who knew the members of their own group but weren't that familiar with the people in the other group. The Goatman would appear in the form of an extra person, hanging around with them and everyone in both groups was under the impression that the person belonged in the other group.

    As far as I can tell the science-based goatman legend exists because there were a lot of government experiments going on in Maryland at the time. All the FBI’s experiments with LSD were performed at a now abandoned mental hospital in Maryland called Spring Grove, which is now a popular spot for teenagers to sneak out to at night.

    When I was like 9 or 10 years old, I watched a TV show special about the Maryland Goatman, and I became so infatuated with it that when we had to make a poster about something we liked about our country I did mine about Goatman. Now, imagine this, you're a teacher at a Christian school, and in the middle of all of these little presentations about cultural landmarks and historic events, the quite kid in the class then comes up, opens their poster filled with images a demonic goat creature and they start telling stories about families being butchered! 😂 needless to say, the teacher wasn't all too happy lol

The cryptids themselves may not be real, but the legacy they create, the fear they cause, and the legends surrounding them, are certainly real enough.

    I remember learning about goatman on a hike. Our neighbor didn't time when we'd cross a specific covered bridge properly. Rather than crossing it, she had us turn around and take a more complicated trail to cross the river. When we asked why she explained that the goatman shows up on that bridge twice a day in a very short, very specific window, and when she was younger, she tested that out at the night time window and had to hide under the bridge for a handful of minutes while his hooves clopped on the wood above her, pacing the bridge.

There is no goat man, and no one here believes there is one. Yknow what’s right next to the bridge? A public park, giant gas station, and houses. It’s not even in a small town or rural area. Might as well be apart of Louisville it’s so close. It’s so surreal seeing giant UA-camrs discuss a silly little half forgotten town mascot as if there’s a possibility of it’s existence.

    Grew up in Lewisville TX (in denton county) and visited the old bridge many times with friends. The lore of it goes; a cheating husband was caught by his wife and she cut his head off and sewed a goat head in it's place then hung him from the bridge. He later disappeared and was said to show up if you stopped your car on the bridge at night and ran around it three times. On one of these trips with friends we got out and noticed men in KKK robes on the bank of the river walking/dancing around a fire and got so goddamned freaked out we stopped our little ritual and got in the car and immediately drove away as fast as we could.

    I'm from Texas and there's a lot of goatman legends across the state, but the one I know the best is from the town I grew up in. Nearby there's a creek, road, and bridge that all go by the name 'Old Foamy', due to there at one point in time being a lot of foam on the creek. It's surrounded by heavy brush and tree coverage. Going back as far as the 1960s, like the other instances talked about in the video, legend says that goatman could be summoned if you stop your car nearby, turn off the lights, and honk the horn 3 times. After doing that, goatman will charge out of the brush and throw dead animals, rocks, and other debris at your car, before jumping on and scratching it up. It used to be a sort of hazing initiation to take the local high school freshman out and make them walk the road at night. The things that make the legend more interesting is that the area is also associated with death and the occult in general. Often times murdered bodies are found washed up around the bridge, lots of car accidents resulting in deaths occur on the road, the remains of missing pets are often found around the bridge, signs of cult ritualistic sacrifices have been found by the creek, and even reported demonic possessions in the RV park next to Old Foamy have all surrounded this stretch of road for almost a century. I remember driving the road before I knew the lore surrounding it. It always left me unsettled even then and I hated driving it alone. As far as confirmable occurrences, I can only confirm some of the deaths by car, the reported possessions, and the cult activity, as some of my family members came across the sacrifices and remains while a family friend was supposedly at one of the exorcisms of one of the possessed. Might try to dig and see if I can confirm any of the other bodies found.
    It was fascinating to see the connections the legends in my hometown have with the ones across the nation, and all in all was just a great podcast to listen to. Can't wait to see what y'all cover next!

    I am so excited for this! Found Wendigoon through the Official Podcast and love the conspiracy theory icebergs on his channel. 🎉
