S7 E8 | Pukwudgies
Friday, August 16, 2024 • Duration 31:55
Welcome to season 7, episode 8 of the I Want to Believe podcast!
Almost all cultures throughout history have their own cryptids. In Wampanoag legend, that creature is the Pukwudgie. They could be compared to gnomes or fairies of European folklore. Due to their penchant for teasing humans with harmless pranks, they appear rather charming compared to other mythical monsters..
People have described them as human-like, except much smaller. Some have said they have a canine-like nose, large ears, lips, and fingers, and have been compared to trolls, goblins, or leprechauns.
Tonight, Christina and I share some modern pukwudgie encounters, that seem more frightening, than charming. Hope you enjoy!

Welcome to season 7, episode 5 of the I Want to Believe podcast!
In Loveland, Ohio reports of a 4-foot frog roaming the marshes on its hind legs have fascinated locals and people from away, for decades. It's a narrative that dates back to the 1950s, when a businessman claimed to have seen multiple bipedal frogs along the Little Miami River. But is it merely anecdotal or is it possible that such a creature exists?
With special co-host Christina, we’ll be sharing the varied encounters of the Loveland Frogman.
