Kraken Cans Cast: Cryptids, Urban Legends, and All Things Spooky – Details, episodes & analysis

In this episode of The Kraken Cans Cast, we’re heading to Galway, Ireland, to break down one of the most unsettling hauntings you’ve probably never heard of — the Fahey Family case of 1996. What started as a normal home in a crowded council estate turned into a full-blown nightmare after two major events hit at once: neighborhood renovations and the arrival of a newborn baby.

From foul smells to midnight footsteps, blinding lights, and a string of events that pushed the family to their breaking point, the Fahey haunting spiraled into something far darker than anyone expected. Even the church, the media, and a psychic medium got pulled into the chaos.

We’re diving into what happened inside that house, why this case lines up with other infamous hauntings, and whether the Faheys were dealing with a ghost… or something much worse.

Crack a cold one — this is one of Ireland’s wildest and most chilling hauntings.

We’re flying across the sea to the Philippines for one of the most chilling legends in folklore: the Manananggal. By day, she’s a stunning woman blending into normal life, but by night she splits her body in half, sprouts bat-like wings, and hunts for her favorite snack—unborn children and human organs. Armed with a long, straw-like tongue that slips through cracks in windows and walls, this self-segmenting creature is the ultimate nightmare fuel.

In this episode, we break down her origins, gruesome feeding habits, and the bizarre ways to protect yourself if she comes knocking. Plus, we share a creepy Reddit story from someone who may have seen her up close and play our game Half or Whole, where we guess which celebrities might secretly be hiding wings. Grab your garlic, Krakheads, and join us for one hell of a ride.

In this episode, we dive into the chilling legend of the Beast of Bladenboro—a mysterious creature that terrorized a small North Carolina town in the 1950s. Described by witnesses as a large, panther-like beast with glowing eyes, the creature was said to have a taste for pet dogs, other livestock, and possibly more. Fear spread quickly as reports of mauled animals and drained blood poured in, prompting armed hunting parties to take to the woods. We follow the story from its eerie beginnings to when the attacks suddenly stopped… only for similar events to resurface in 2007 just miles away. We dig into the theories, the hysteria, and whether something truly unnatural was roaming the shadows.
