Season 2 Ep. 04 "Loveland pt. 1”

Originally Released: Dec 2, 2020

Things often go bump in the night, but do they always glare back at you with round, red eyes? Cole takes a trip down south (well, a bit further south in Ohio) to meet up with a family member of one of the original Cryptheads who happens to have a lead on the legendary Frog Man. Also, Chuck is REALLY letting his new found authority go to his head.

Season 2 Ep. 03.5 "Along the Lazy Miami”

Originally Released: Nov. 25, 2020

You know what they say about legends and myths, sometimes they’re based on misunderstandings, or the drunken delusions of the lesser discerning. But, sometimes they are exactly what they seem to be. Nighttime isn’t the time to go creepin’ along the Miami river… or at least that’s what the legends say.
