Minnesota The North Star State: Mermaids

50 States of Terror - American Cryptid Podcast

Under the sea? More like Under 10,000 lakes!
Kailey leads the discussion of the history of mermaids and the sighting that inspired the episode this week. But spoiler alert....It wasn't the most voted upon Cryptid! Which means next week a Minnesota PART II is coming! Listeners voted and wanted to hear about the Minnesota Ice Man. So she hopes you aren't *too* disappointed and will enjoy this episode in the meantime.
Anthony cracks some bad dad jokes... Kailey tries to keep up and has some pretty terrible ringers of her own. For more reading on the topics check out some of these links!
