In this episode of our Cryptid Crawl, The Spooky Darlings visit the fine state of Maryland, so grab a Natty Boh and settle in! From the famous Snallygaster, to (not as insidious as it sounds) Peeping Tom the Flickergeist, and finally a journey with the Sykesville Monster that's a whole 'nother story. Don't miss this one, I think even them O's will tune in!
