Cryptid Crawl #8: Delaware! Monsters from the First State

Join us as we explore the First State's freakiest finds! In this episode we journey into the legends lurking in Delaware's creepy corners. From the mischievous Puckwudgie, to the mysterious Zwaanendael Merman, to the monstrous Mhuwe— We even take a peek at the elusive almost-cryptid known to locals as The Walker... Delaware's cryptids do not disappoint. 

Note: Indigenous stories of the Puckwudgie and the Mhuwe belong to the Wampanoag, Lenape,  and other Algonquian peoples of the Northeast. All retellings here are shared with respect for those original traditions and their continuing cultural importance.
