Mackenzie Hrubey: Okay. okay. All right.
casey: have to do things without saying what it is for me to guess it. Okay?
Mackenzie Hrubey: Okay. All right.
casey: Bigfoot obviously is not part of the game. I think it's like, you know, just like a hot dog or like flowers or something, because it's a kids' game.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Mothman.
casey: But I was thinking, what if we did a cryptid version? And we have to describe the cryptid to each other and then add the element of how many people do we think this cryptid would eat?
Mackenzie Hrubey: That's perfect. I like that.
casey: I thought it was great.

Mackenzie Hrubey: I know they are, but like did you see the snacks? Did you see their jerky aisle? Casey, their jerky aisle.

Mackenzie Hrubey: You know what I really love? I love the I love the hickory smoked turkey jerky. That's like my favorite. Yes, yes, yes. So good. Anyway.
casey: is pretty good. Costco has good beef jerky. Like actually like the beef sticks, the Kirkland brand, they're pretty good. Yeah. I fucking
Mackenzie Hrubey: I can't wait to go to Costco and shop.
casey: love Costco.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah. I wonder if they have any good Halloween deals. Probably.
casey: I'll look because I'm actually taking my nephew there to get his Halloween costume on Friday night, I think. Yeah,
Mackenzie Hrubey: How cute. Okay.
casey: they got creepers from Minecraft. And that's what he wants to be. Yeah.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Cool. Alright, that's like a solid costume. He'll stay warm too if it's a cold Halloween.
casey: Right, I could only hope it's a cold Halloween. It's fucking hot out now and I hate it. It's gross.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Like eighty degrees today.
casey: Alright, but enough with banter. Let's l let's get into this. So
Mackenzie Hrubey: Tell me a story.
casey: have you ever heard of the snarly yow?
Mackenzie Hrubey: I've heard of a Snelly gaster.
casey: O o also known as the Snally Gaster's cousin.
Mackenzie Hrubey: What our favourite
casey: Yeah.
Mackenzie Hrubey: strange dragon that has crazy talons and makes sounds like a train has a cousin?
casey: Has a cousin called the snarly yow.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Did it also drown in a tank of of moonshine in the hills?
casey: Quite. But so this
Mackenzie Hrubey: Okay. All right. Lay it on me.
casey: creature is deeply rooted in Western Maryland's folklore. Both
Mackenzie Hrubey: Mm.
casey: both legends are to believe have grown from the stories of superstition brought by German immigrants who settled along the Potomac River Valley during the 1700s. While the Snally guests are real disgusting. The skies. The snarly yow was said to hunt the lonely roads, forest, and battlefields of western Maryland. They're like a tag team. They'll get you from everywhere.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Ooh. Yeah. Well, I just I love the Germans. They have the good
casey: They
Mackenzie Hrubey: Bavarian things like mustard and beer and pretzels and kriskringle markets and superstition.
casey: And don't they have Krampus? Didn't Krampus originate from German?
Mackenzie Hrubey: I think so, or Krimpus might have been a t Norwegian land. Land of the north. But I'm not positive.
casey: Good thing I have this book. So for Christmas, everyone, we will be r learning about Christmas cryptids.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Fabulous. Looking forward to it.
casey: Me too. So at first glance it sounds like nothing more than a large angry black dog, really. But according to those who have claimed to see the snarly la the snarly yow, it is far from ordinary. Witness describe it standing at nearly nearly as tall as a horse when on all fours.
Mackenzie Hrubey: One in all fours?
casey: Yeah. So could you ew could you picture a horse standing on two legs? It's really creepy and makes me uncomfortable. I don't
Mackenzie Hrubey: I don't like it. I don't like it.
casey: either. covered in shaggy black fur with glowing red or yellow eyes and long razor sharp fangs.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah.
casey: Some say its body appears almost shadow-like, as though it as if it like isn't entirely solid, almost like a ghost. Others claim it can
Mackenzie Hrubey: Maybe
casey: stand upright on its hind legs before dropping back down onto its massive paws. Ew. One thing nearly everyone witness every witness agrees on is that the creature has an unsettling habit of disappearing without leaving a single trace. Don't we know a couple things that just disappear? The hide behind the dark
Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah, and I hate them all.
casey: watchers
Mackenzie Hrubey: Also Bigfoot in the Navajo tradition.
casey: Bigfoot, yeah. You know.
Mackenzie Hrubey: I don't know how something that large though just disappears out of nowhere.
casey: How does Bigfoot just disappear out of nowhere? Because he time travels into portals because he's an alien.
Mackenzie Hrubey: It doesn't. It doesn't. No it's not. You're
casey: He gets beamed up and nobody sees it. It's exactly what happens.
Mackenzie Hrubey: an alien. Yeah.
casey: I read a book called Inv no, I forget I f can't remember what it was called, but this girl throughout the whole book told everyone that she was an alien and nobody believed her. But when her alien frethren came and invaded the United States, everyone was like, Holy shit, this bitch actually was not lying.
Mackenzie Hrubey: She's actually a damn alien. Are
casey: Yeah.
Mackenzie Hrubey: you trying to tell me that's what's gonna happen to you you? Okay. All right, all right. No.
casey: Possibly if I could only be so lucky. But I don't think I was abducted. And unless
Mackenzie Hrubey: Unless we're
casey: unless I was, I don't know.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah.
casey: I don't know if I would tell you.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Sometimes you keep secrets. You're pretty good at keeping secrets. You're like a steel trap, you know?
casey: I don't think. I don't think I'm good at keeping secrets. S yeah.
Mackenzie Hrubey: I don't know. I've I've told you things and you you don't tell people things.
casey: But th I guess it's different. Yeah. It's it is the girl code, yes.
Mackenzie Hrubey: It's the girl code. It's the alien girl code.
casey: Are you an alien?
Mackenzie Hrubey: I can't tell you that.
casey: That is correct.
Mackenzie Hrubey: I come in peace.
casey: Gosh. Alright, back to the snarly yow, cause that might be an alien. I don't know. Is everything just an alien? Maybe.
Mackenzie Hrubey: It's the grand unification of the unknown.
casey: One of the earliest stories came from the nineteenth century along the old national road of Western Maryland. a couple travelling by horse, Jesus, and wagon, suddenly found It amazes me that Amish still travel by horse and buggy.
Mackenzie Hrubey: too honestly. It's just a really inefficient way of getting around.
casey: Like in this day and age, can you just stop abusing that horse?
Mackenzie Hrubey: Honestly, like the bikes are better. Because the Amish
casey: Just
Mackenzie Hrubey: I mean I get that like the Amish thing is too pronged, right? Like on the one hand, they sometimes treat them well because that's their only mode of transportation. But on the other hand, the
casey: They don't.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Amish view animals in a very utilitarian way. Like a, you know, there's no treats, there's no love, there's no petting. Like and a lot of times they're malnourished. Like it's I'm
casey: It's this is a workhorse, that's it. Yeah.
Mackenzie Hrubey: sorry, I like to snug the crap out of my animals.
casey: Me too.
Mackenzie Hrubey: I really do.
casey: I love my animals. I think more than I like most people.
Mackenzie Hrubey: I would agree with that, you know?
casey: I might jump off a cliff for my dog. I don't know.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Please don't.
casey: If she asked me to, I might.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Does she speak to you often?
casey: Ha ha ha. No. No. She doesn't. And I'm No
Mackenzie Hrubey: Which would you tell me if she did? Well
casey: I wouldn't
Mackenzie Hrubey: Mm-hmm.
casey: So a couple travelling by horse and buggy suddenly found a massive black animal standing in the middle of the road. The driver swerved, which we can picture in our head, them swerving in a horse and buggy to avoid hitting it not well.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Not well.
casey: But when they looked back, the creature completely vanished. There was no sign of it even ever being there.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Did it leap off the road or did it just poof?
casey: And they didn't see it. Another famous encounter comes from Heggerstown, a Hagerstown resident, l locally known as Big Joe.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Joseph
casey: While riding horseback through the countryside, Joe claimed a massive black beast burst from the woods and began chasing after him and his horse. the creature kicked up gravel with such incredible force to keep up with him while the galloping horse keep up pace with the galloping horse and suddenly just disappeared, leaving Joe with no
Mackenzie Hrubey: And
casey: explanation of what he had just witnessed. Like just poof.
Mackenzie Hrubey: They keep They keep disappearing, but into where?
casey: The void. Into the void. Do you want me to go back to the aliens? Didn't think so.
Mackenzie Hrubey: No
casey: Sightings of the snarly gow have been reported throughout Western Maryland, and neighboring West Virginia, particularly around South Mountain.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Cool. Which
casey: Cat.
Mackenzie Hrubey: is the very same area that that really is like consistent with where the Stanley Gaster was seen.
casey: See in Catacatane Mountain, Hagerstown, Boomsboro, and even near Anta Antethem Battlefield Antietam Etietham Antiethum Antiham.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Antietam? Are you trying to pronounce Antietam? Antietam, the bloodiest battle of the There's some I always get it confused. Gettysburg and Antietam both have the bloodiest
casey: I thought Gettysburg was the bloodiest battle.
Mackenzie Hrubey: There's a bloody there's they're different bloody categories and each of them has a different bloody category. I think like Antietam was the bloodiest day.
casey: I really like talking like Saw different bloody category and like Terrifier different bloody category because they're both bloody
Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah.
casey: but very different.
Mackenzie Hrubey: I think it's like day versus like series of days, whole battle, I I think. But I'm not positive. But Antietam's famous for shit like that. And it's also haunted.
casey: Anti tanum
Mackenzie Hrubey: Okay, I'll allow it.
casey: The face doesn't look like you want to allow it.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Anti Tatum.
casey: Ha ha ha.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Is that like Channy ch channing Tatum but like
casey: Shani Tatum's auntie?
Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah Anti Tatum?
casey: battlefield. Many witnesses describe an eerie silence falling over the forest just before the creature appears, as every bird and animal instantly knows something unnatural is nearby.
Mackenzie Hrubey: See they do that with Bigfoot too. It's just a Bigfoot.
casey: I know. It should it could just be a bigfoot.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Bigfoot. It's all Bigfoot.
casey: The legend became especially popular during and after the Civil War. While many battlefields are said to be haunted by the spirits of fallen soldiers, locals also claim something far stranger wanders in these hills. Stories spread of the gigantic black snarly yow prowling abandoned camps and lonely roads after sunset. Some believe it was the restless spirits of the battlefield itself. while others thought it served as supernatural guardian watching over the fallen. Today visitors in Spoonsboro can even find whimsical historial markers warning travelers beware of the snarly yow. A reminder that the legend has become a lasting part of the region's folklore. After the Civil War, reports became less but they never completely disappeared. Interest in the creature grew up again in the nineteen seventies when several local stories started to surface again. One tells of a hunter who claimed to have fired directly at the snarly yow only to watch it's always men. Only to watch the bullet go straight pat straight through the creature. Before the creature vanished without a trace. Another story comes
Mackenzie Hrubey: Wow.
casey: from a truck driver traveling a back road late one night. The driver claims that they struck what appeared to be a massive black dog standing in the roadway. Strangely, they felt no impact and curious when they got out of their car to inspect, there was no damage.
Mackenzie Hrubey: It's so bizarre.
casey: However, that's when they saw the creature walking towards them. Slowly. Isn't that great?
Mackenzie Hrubey: No no no no no. No I would pew my pants.
casey: It's like the lizard man.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah it's like that I I was thinking about that too, the the the or the ore swamp. radar swamp? Wow I can't remember but something like that. It was swamp and ore were in the name of the swamp. Yeah.
casey: I think it was I think it was great or swamp. Skate or swamp. Yes, the same word, yes. So the creature was slowly walking towards them. With every step it seemed to grow larger. Its glowing red eyes looked into the drivers as it silently approached. Terrified, they scrambled back into their car and sped off before the beast could catch up to them. I mean, what else would you do?
Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah. S be petrified and then have it eat you.
casey: on a scale of one to ten, I think the snarly owl would eat twenty people. Not in a day. In over a period of time.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Like in its lifetime? I've
casey: No, in a year.
Mackenzie Hrubey: All right, all right. I feel like he picked a number that was not between one and ten.
casey: Who said anything about a number between one and ten?
Mackenzie Hrubey: Ha!
casey: I didn't.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Hmm.
casey: Unlike many legendary monsters, the snarly owl doesn't seem unfortunately doesn't want to eat and attack people. Whatever.
Mackenzie Hrubey: But people are delicious. I say not from personal experience or anything.
casey: I say not, but d if the case would happen to arise and I was stranded,
Mackenzie Hrubey: Ha ha ha.
casey: I don't know. I don't know what could happen. Nobody knows.
Mackenzie Hrubey: If we went down yeah, if we went down in a plane together over Alaska or something, I think we would like arm wrestle or like maybe thumb wrestle. Or maybe we like scissors.
casey: I would still pro you know, I honestly would be like, look, chop off my left arm, I'll eat my arm, you eat your arm.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Let's do it logically, you know, like start with the fingies, you know? You got your fingers.
casey: Yeah, let True. Or you know what, if I take an arm, you take a leg. Because then someone
Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah.
casey: yeah. There's logic around this.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Absolutely. I think we'll we'll go in small increments, you know, tozies.
casey: What's a toe gonna get us? It's just like a chicken nugget.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah, we'd fry it, you know.
casey: Yeah, but are you gonna cut off all ten so you can get a ten piece?
Mackenzie Hrubey: I was gonna No, I was gonna go like more like a like a four dollar meal deal kind of thing. You know, the four nuggets.
casey: Why and just leave your one big toe?
Mackenzie Hrubey: Well yeah, so for stability.
casey: Learn to walk on the stub.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Ha ha ha.
casey: It'll be fine. The snarly gow seems to only want to terrify people. Chase hunters, and then simply just disappear.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Weird. Maybe it like feeds off of fear or something.
casey: I like the hide behinds. They just wanted to scare you to death.
Mackenzie Hrubey: And the monsters from Monsters Incorporated.
casey: True, which I still haven't watched lately. And I need to watch that.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Which is wild. I really do. Yeah.
casey: Some believe it's a phantom left behind the Civil War. Others think it's a supernatural guardian. A demon also. I thought it could be a demon dog.
Mackenzie Hrubey: It sounds very werewolfy too.
casey: Or perhaps the American versions of the Black Dogs legends that can be found throughout Europe. Or maybe simply it's just another cryptid hiding in the Appalachian Forest.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Deep dark and full of mystery.
casey: Very, very. So whatever you think might be true, the snarling yow has remained within Maryland's legends. So I don't know. If you've seen it, let me know. I don't know. Maybe you'll catch it with your headlights one night. Maybe
Mackenzie Hrubey: I I if you do I should be right in.
casey: maybe the Snally Gaster somehow creates herself to be invisible and just snatches it out. Do you think that could happen? I think that could happen. Yeah. She's like, no, cousin,
Mackenzie Hrubey: That makes sense. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe
casey: come back. And it's just like one of those.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Or like maybe the stallicastro is really into wolfmen and they like interbred and then like this weird baby and so it's like her child and she's like picking it up todaycare and shit. I don't know.
casey: She just drops it off at the battlefield and lets the soldiers babysit for a day? Hmm.
Mackenzie Hrubey: I think so. Free child care. Child care is expensive.
casey: I yes, yes it is. But S Sorry Timmy. This is all mama can afford. so what do you rate the snarly gaster's cousin? The snarly yow.
Mackenzie Hrubey: I'm gonna read it, you know, I'm feeling generous today. I'm gonna read it for. 'Cause I I I had no idea and the eyewitness testimonies really, really sparked my interest and
casey: I haven't gotten a four from you in a while.
Mackenzie Hrubey: I know, and I I really wanna know why it is that the Snalligaster has a museum about her, but the s snarly yow does not. You know? What's with that?
casey: Snarly Yow. She's just not as she's not as popular as her cousin. It's upsetting, but
Mackenzie Hrubey: Crazy. It's crazy.
casey: yes, very crazy.
Mackenzie Hrubey: What do you rank the snar snarly yow?
casey: I am gonna do a five because I think it's a spirit being. Because if you can shoot through it, I don't I don't think it's What's the word I'm looking for? A being. Yeah.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Corporeal? Corporeal? Yeah. Flesh and blood.
casey: Yeah, it's not. It's spirit. Whether it be a demon dog, a hybrid demon dog, I don't know. But I think it's something like that.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah.
casey: Because most of said you can see through it, it just disappears. It sounds like a hitchhiker that got hit on the road and she just haunts the highway and gets in people's cars.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Creepy.
casey: Yeah. That's what I think.
Mackenzie Hrubey: I think we can I think we can both agree that this is one that we would not want to encounter on a on a deserted road in the middle of night in Appalachia. Girl! Girl
casey: I would. No, I think I would. I think it would be inter It's not gonna hurt me. It has no interest in me. It has no
Mackenzie Hrubey: Too scary.
casey: interest in me. You know what's scary? Watching my background continuously get darker and darker is a little scary. Because it's
Mackenzie Hrubey: You w why is what's happening over there?
casey: I'm in my s I'm out in the sunroom and like I don't have my lights on because it's still kinda daylight out, but it's kinda getting dark.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Not now. Yeah. It's nighttime now.
casey: It's not nighttime, I can still see the road. It is. The snarly owls and actually
Mackenzie Hrubey: It's coming for ya. It's coming for ya.
casey: engulfing me and it's black fur. And I'm soon
Mackenzie Hrubey: Mm-hmm.
casey: to not be.
Mackenzie Hrubey: So listeners, not only should you tell us how you rank the snarly yow, but come back next week and see if Casey did or not get consumed by the devil creature. I am looking forward to finding out whether or not she has been consumed myself. And
casey: Take me, please.
Mackenzie Hrubey: please don't. Please don't I would miss
casey: Let me bring my dog with me.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Or at least bring her back, you know, take her for a little whirlwind and then just just bring her back. Yeah.
casey: yeah, like a little vacay. I love a quick trip.
Mackenzie Hrubey: The g do you have the PTO for that?
casey: don't worry. I am good.
Mackenzie Hrubey: What do you do? Do you email your manager and say, Hey, sorry, I got kidnapped by a cryptid?
casey: hey BRB not sure when I'll be back, but I've been abducted.
Mackenzie Hrubey: I'm gonna try that.
casey: And just leave it at that.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Do you remember like the superlatives from like high school? I feel like your superlative would be most likely to be abducted.
casey: Yes. I love that. And yeah. I hope. I
Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah. And mine would be
casey: w most likely to put herself in danger because you wanna catch still catch
Mackenzie Hrubey: Most smugly. Correct.
casey: a pucka wudgy.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Cause I wanna pet something. I'm gonna get rabies.

casey: No.
Mackenzie Hrubey: I always touch cactuses. It's like part of my ritual.
casey: What?

casey: W I have this one cactus and every time I replant it, it gets me. And like I have to go get Joe's real tiny little tweezers that he uses for his Warhammer and just fucking pluck it. And it's not always just one. They're just the tiny little hairs and you can only feel them like they're off it's awful. And you just touch it for fun. Are you okay? Do you need to talk to someone?

casey: Bigfoot obviously is not part of the game. I think it's like, you know, just like a hot dog or like flowers or something, because it's a kids' game.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Mothman.
casey: But I was thinking, what if we did a cryptid version? And we have to describe the cryptid to each other and then add the element of how many people do we think this cryptid would eat?
Mackenzie Hrubey: That's perfect. I like that.
casey: I thought it was great.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah, that could be our first product that we launch too. You know, as we go about our, you know, we have our merch and we have our games and we have our books
casey: Yeah.
Mackenzie Hrubey: and we have our press tour and then you know we start giving motivational speeches. TM
casey: Nobody take that. That was my idea. Okay?
Mackenzie Hrubey: TM TM TM
casey: but I am kinda like copywriting headbands, but in a different way. You know how many versions of Monopoly's out there? Fuck it. Okay?
Mackenzie Hrubey: They don't have headbands crypted. Yeah. Yeah. We'll make headband the cryptid version. Field notes from the unknown headband.
casey: Yeah. It'll be us. It headband's just a name, you know? They don't own the rights to the
Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah.
casey: name.
Mackenzie Hrubey: People play games and have fun all the time. You can't copyright fun.
casey: All the time. This isn't Bucky's, okay? We're not going ever after everyone with a beaver logo.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah, did you watch that that John Oliver Buckeys thing? John Oliver like digs into Buckys. It was great.
casey: I have seen a lot of people digging into Bucky's, but Yeah.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah. Have side note, have you been to a Bucky's?
casey: I haven't, but Joe has, and he brought me back a Bucky's mug.
Mackenzie Hrubey: That's awesome. I wanna go, honestly, it sounds like quite an experience.
casey: I don't wanna go now because they are being assholes to every little mom and pop.
Mackenzie Hrubey: I know they are, but like did you see the snacks? Did you see their jerky aisle? Casey, their jerky aisle.
casey: I have seen. Yes. I there's jerky stores in Gettysburg if you want jerky, I'll take you.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Okay, let's go. I love jerky. I want it I want a big old meaty salab of jerky. Big old jerky meat.
casey: Mm. Okay.
Mackenzie Hrubey: You know what I really love? I love the I love the hickory smoked turkey jerky. That's like my favorite. Yes, yes, yes. So good. Anyway.
casey: is pretty good. Costco has good beef jerky. Like actually like the beef sticks, the Kirkland brand, they're pretty good. Yeah. I fucking
Mackenzie Hrubey: I can't wait to go to Costco and shop.
casey: love Costco.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah. I wonder if they have any good Halloween deals. Probably.
casey: I'll look because I'm actually taking my nephew there to get his Halloween costume on Friday night, I think. Yeah,
Mackenzie Hrubey: How cute. Okay.
casey: they got creepers from Minecraft. And that's what he wants to be. Yeah.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Cool. Alright, that's like a solid costume. He'll stay warm too if it's a cold Halloween.
casey: Right, I could only hope it's a cold Halloween. It's fucking hot out now and I hate it. It's gross.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Like eighty degrees today.
casey: Alright, but enough with banter. Let's l let's get into this. So
Mackenzie Hrubey: Tell me a story.
casey: have you ever heard of the snarly yow?
Mackenzie Hrubey: I've heard of a Snelly gaster.
casey: O o also known as the Snally Gaster's cousin.
Mackenzie Hrubey: What our favourite
casey: Yeah.
Mackenzie Hrubey: strange dragon that has crazy talons and makes sounds like a train has a cousin?
casey: Has a cousin called the snarly yow.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Did it also drown in a tank of of moonshine in the hills?
casey: Quite. But so this
Mackenzie Hrubey: Okay. All right. Lay it on me.
casey: creature is deeply rooted in Western Maryland's folklore. Both
Mackenzie Hrubey: Mm.
casey: both legends are to believe have grown from the stories of superstition brought by German immigrants who settled along the Potomac River Valley during the 1700s. While the Snally guests are real disgusting. The skies. The snarly yow was said to hunt the lonely roads, forest, and battlefields of western Maryland. They're like a tag team. They'll get you from everywhere.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Ooh. Yeah. Well, I just I love the Germans. They have the good
casey: They
Mackenzie Hrubey: Bavarian things like mustard and beer and pretzels and kriskringle markets and superstition.
casey: And don't they have Krampus? Didn't Krampus originate from German?
Mackenzie Hrubey: I think so, or Krimpus might have been a t Norwegian land. Land of the north. But I'm not positive.
casey: Good thing I have this book. So for Christmas, everyone, we will be r learning about Christmas cryptids.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Fabulous. Looking forward to it.
casey: Me too. So at first glance it sounds like nothing more than a large angry black dog, really. But according to those who have claimed to see the snarly la the snarly yow, it is far from ordinary. Witness describe it standing at nearly nearly as tall as a horse when on all fours.
Mackenzie Hrubey: One in all fours?
casey: Yeah. So could you ew could you picture a horse standing on two legs? It's really creepy and makes me uncomfortable. I don't
Mackenzie Hrubey: I don't like it. I don't like it.
casey: either. covered in shaggy black fur with glowing red or yellow eyes and long razor sharp fangs.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah.
casey: Some say its body appears almost shadow-like, as though it as if it like isn't entirely solid, almost like a ghost. Others claim it can
Mackenzie Hrubey: Maybe
casey: stand upright on its hind legs before dropping back down onto its massive paws. Ew. One thing nearly everyone witness every witness agrees on is that the creature has an unsettling habit of disappearing without leaving a single trace. Don't we know a couple things that just disappear? The hide behind the dark
Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah, and I hate them all.
casey: watchers
Mackenzie Hrubey: Also Bigfoot in the Navajo tradition.
casey: Bigfoot, yeah. You know.
Mackenzie Hrubey: I don't know how something that large though just disappears out of nowhere.
casey: How does Bigfoot just disappear out of nowhere? Because he time travels into portals because he's an alien.
Mackenzie Hrubey: It doesn't. It doesn't. No it's not. You're
casey: He gets beamed up and nobody sees it. It's exactly what happens.
Mackenzie Hrubey: an alien. Yeah.
casey: I read a book called Inv no, I forget I f can't remember what it was called, but this girl throughout the whole book told everyone that she was an alien and nobody believed her. But when her alien frethren came and invaded the United States, everyone was like, Holy shit, this bitch actually was not lying.
Mackenzie Hrubey: She's actually a damn alien. Are
casey: Yeah.
Mackenzie Hrubey: you trying to tell me that's what's gonna happen to you you? Okay. All right, all right. No.
casey: Possibly if I could only be so lucky. But I don't think I was abducted. And unless
Mackenzie Hrubey: Unless we're
casey: unless I was, I don't know.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah.
casey: I don't know if I would tell you.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Sometimes you keep secrets. You're pretty good at keeping secrets. You're like a steel trap, you know?
casey: I don't think. I don't think I'm good at keeping secrets. S yeah.
Mackenzie Hrubey: I don't know. I've I've told you things and you you don't tell people things.
casey: But th I guess it's different. Yeah. It's it is the girl code, yes.
Mackenzie Hrubey: It's the girl code. It's the alien girl code.
casey: Are you an alien?
Mackenzie Hrubey: I can't tell you that.
casey: That is correct.
Mackenzie Hrubey: I come in peace.
casey: Gosh. Alright, back to the snarly yow, cause that might be an alien. I don't know. Is everything just an alien? Maybe.
Mackenzie Hrubey: It's the grand unification of the unknown.
casey: One of the earliest stories came from the nineteenth century along the old national road of Western Maryland. a couple travelling by horse, Jesus, and wagon, suddenly found It amazes me that Amish still travel by horse and buggy.
Mackenzie Hrubey: too honestly. It's just a really inefficient way of getting around.
casey: Like in this day and age, can you just stop abusing that horse?
Mackenzie Hrubey: Honestly, like the bikes are better. Because the Amish
casey: Just
Mackenzie Hrubey: I mean I get that like the Amish thing is too pronged, right? Like on the one hand, they sometimes treat them well because that's their only mode of transportation. But on the other hand, the
casey: They don't.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Amish view animals in a very utilitarian way. Like a, you know, there's no treats, there's no love, there's no petting. Like and a lot of times they're malnourished. Like it's I'm
casey: It's this is a workhorse, that's it. Yeah.
Mackenzie Hrubey: sorry, I like to snug the crap out of my animals.
casey: Me too.
Mackenzie Hrubey: I really do.
casey: I love my animals. I think more than I like most people.
Mackenzie Hrubey: I would agree with that, you know?
casey: I might jump off a cliff for my dog. I don't know.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Please don't.
casey: If she asked me to, I might.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Does she speak to you often?
casey: Ha ha ha. No. No. She doesn't. And I'm No
Mackenzie Hrubey: Which would you tell me if she did? Well
casey: I wouldn't
Mackenzie Hrubey: Mm-hmm.
casey: So a couple travelling by horse and buggy suddenly found a massive black animal standing in the middle of the road. The driver swerved, which we can picture in our head, them swerving in a horse and buggy to avoid hitting it not well.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Not well.
casey: But when they looked back, the creature completely vanished. There was no sign of it even ever being there.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Did it leap off the road or did it just poof?
casey: And they didn't see it. Another famous encounter comes from Heggerstown, a Hagerstown resident, l locally known as Big Joe.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Joseph
casey: While riding horseback through the countryside, Joe claimed a massive black beast burst from the woods and began chasing after him and his horse. the creature kicked up gravel with such incredible force to keep up with him while the galloping horse keep up pace with the galloping horse and suddenly just disappeared, leaving Joe with no
Mackenzie Hrubey: And
casey: explanation of what he had just witnessed. Like just poof.
Mackenzie Hrubey: They keep They keep disappearing, but into where?
casey: The void. Into the void. Do you want me to go back to the aliens? Didn't think so.
Mackenzie Hrubey: No
casey: Sightings of the snarly gow have been reported throughout Western Maryland, and neighboring West Virginia, particularly around South Mountain.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Cool. Which
casey: Cat.
Mackenzie Hrubey: is the very same area that that really is like consistent with where the Stanley Gaster was seen.
casey: See in Catacatane Mountain, Hagerstown, Boomsboro, and even near Anta Antethem Battlefield Antietam Etietham Antiethum Antiham.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Antietam? Are you trying to pronounce Antietam? Antietam, the bloodiest battle of the There's some I always get it confused. Gettysburg and Antietam both have the bloodiest
casey: I thought Gettysburg was the bloodiest battle.
Mackenzie Hrubey: There's a bloody there's they're different bloody categories and each of them has a different bloody category. I think like Antietam was the bloodiest day.
casey: I really like talking like Saw different bloody category and like Terrifier different bloody category because they're both bloody
Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah.
casey: but very different.
Mackenzie Hrubey: I think it's like day versus like series of days, whole battle, I I think. But I'm not positive. But Antietam's famous for shit like that. And it's also haunted.
casey: Anti tanum
Mackenzie Hrubey: Okay, I'll allow it.
casey: The face doesn't look like you want to allow it.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Anti Tatum.
casey: Ha ha ha.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Is that like Channy ch channing Tatum but like
casey: Shani Tatum's auntie?
Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah Anti Tatum?
casey: battlefield. Many witnesses describe an eerie silence falling over the forest just before the creature appears, as every bird and animal instantly knows something unnatural is nearby.
Mackenzie Hrubey: See they do that with Bigfoot too. It's just a Bigfoot.
casey: I know. It should it could just be a bigfoot.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Bigfoot. It's all Bigfoot.
casey: The legend became especially popular during and after the Civil War. While many battlefields are said to be haunted by the spirits of fallen soldiers, locals also claim something far stranger wanders in these hills. Stories spread of the gigantic black snarly yow prowling abandoned camps and lonely roads after sunset. Some believe it was the restless spirits of the battlefield itself. while others thought it served as supernatural guardian watching over the fallen. Today visitors in Spoonsboro can even find whimsical historial markers warning travelers beware of the snarly yow. A reminder that the legend has become a lasting part of the region's folklore. After the Civil War, reports became less but they never completely disappeared. Interest in the creature grew up again in the nineteen seventies when several local stories started to surface again. One tells of a hunter who claimed to have fired directly at the snarly yow only to watch it's always men. Only to watch the bullet go straight pat straight through the creature. Before the creature vanished without a trace. Another story comes
Mackenzie Hrubey: Wow.
casey: from a truck driver traveling a back road late one night. The driver claims that they struck what appeared to be a massive black dog standing in the roadway. Strangely, they felt no impact and curious when they got out of their car to inspect, there was no damage.
Mackenzie Hrubey: It's so bizarre.
casey: However, that's when they saw the creature walking towards them. Slowly. Isn't that great?
Mackenzie Hrubey: No no no no no. No I would pew my pants.
casey: It's like the lizard man.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah it's like that I I was thinking about that too, the the the or the ore swamp. radar swamp? Wow I can't remember but something like that. It was swamp and ore were in the name of the swamp. Yeah.
casey: I think it was I think it was great or swamp. Skate or swamp. Yes, the same word, yes. So the creature was slowly walking towards them. With every step it seemed to grow larger. Its glowing red eyes looked into the drivers as it silently approached. Terrified, they scrambled back into their car and sped off before the beast could catch up to them. I mean, what else would you do?
Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah. S be petrified and then have it eat you.
casey: on a scale of one to ten, I think the snarly owl would eat twenty people. Not in a day. In over a period of time.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Like in its lifetime? I've
casey: No, in a year.
Mackenzie Hrubey: All right, all right. I feel like he picked a number that was not between one and ten.
casey: Who said anything about a number between one and ten?
Mackenzie Hrubey: Ha!
casey: I didn't.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Hmm.
casey: Unlike many legendary monsters, the snarly owl doesn't seem unfortunately doesn't want to eat and attack people. Whatever.
Mackenzie Hrubey: But people are delicious. I say not from personal experience or anything.
casey: I say not, but d if the case would happen to arise and I was stranded,
Mackenzie Hrubey: Ha ha ha.
casey: I don't know. I don't know what could happen. Nobody knows.
Mackenzie Hrubey: If we went down yeah, if we went down in a plane together over Alaska or something, I think we would like arm wrestle or like maybe thumb wrestle. Or maybe we like scissors.
casey: I would still pro you know, I honestly would be like, look, chop off my left arm, I'll eat my arm, you eat your arm.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Let's do it logically, you know, like start with the fingies, you know? You got your fingers.
casey: Yeah, let True. Or you know what, if I take an arm, you take a leg. Because then someone
Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah.
casey: yeah. There's logic around this.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Absolutely. I think we'll we'll go in small increments, you know, tozies.
casey: What's a toe gonna get us? It's just like a chicken nugget.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah, we'd fry it, you know.
casey: Yeah, but are you gonna cut off all ten so you can get a ten piece?
Mackenzie Hrubey: I was gonna No, I was gonna go like more like a like a four dollar meal deal kind of thing. You know, the four nuggets.
casey: Why and just leave your one big toe?
Mackenzie Hrubey: Well yeah, so for stability.
casey: Learn to walk on the stub.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Ha ha ha.
casey: It'll be fine. The snarly gow seems to only want to terrify people. Chase hunters, and then simply just disappear.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Weird. Maybe it like feeds off of fear or something.
casey: I like the hide behinds. They just wanted to scare you to death.
Mackenzie Hrubey: And the monsters from Monsters Incorporated.
casey: True, which I still haven't watched lately. And I need to watch that.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Which is wild. I really do. Yeah.
casey: Some believe it's a phantom left behind the Civil War. Others think it's a supernatural guardian. A demon also. I thought it could be a demon dog.
Mackenzie Hrubey: It sounds very werewolfy too.
casey: Or perhaps the American versions of the Black Dogs legends that can be found throughout Europe. Or maybe simply it's just another cryptid hiding in the Appalachian Forest.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Deep dark and full of mystery.
casey: Very, very. So whatever you think might be true, the snarling yow has remained within Maryland's legends. So I don't know. If you've seen it, let me know. I don't know. Maybe you'll catch it with your headlights one night. Maybe
Mackenzie Hrubey: I I if you do I should be right in.
casey: maybe the Snally Gaster somehow creates herself to be invisible and just snatches it out. Do you think that could happen? I think that could happen. Yeah. She's like, no, cousin,
Mackenzie Hrubey: That makes sense. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe
casey: come back. And it's just like one of those.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Or like maybe the stallicastro is really into wolfmen and they like interbred and then like this weird baby and so it's like her child and she's like picking it up todaycare and shit. I don't know.
casey: She just drops it off at the battlefield and lets the soldiers babysit for a day? Hmm.
Mackenzie Hrubey: I think so. Free child care. Child care is expensive.
casey: I yes, yes it is. But S Sorry Timmy. This is all mama can afford. so what do you rate the snarly gaster's cousin? The snarly yow.
Mackenzie Hrubey: I'm gonna read it, you know, I'm feeling generous today. I'm gonna read it for. 'Cause I I I had no idea and the eyewitness testimonies really, really sparked my interest and
casey: I haven't gotten a four from you in a while.
Mackenzie Hrubey: I know, and I I really wanna know why it is that the Snalligaster has a museum about her, but the s snarly yow does not. You know? What's with that?
casey: Snarly Yow. She's just not as she's not as popular as her cousin. It's upsetting, but
Mackenzie Hrubey: Crazy. It's crazy.
casey: yes, very crazy.
Mackenzie Hrubey: What do you rank the snar snarly yow?
casey: I am gonna do a five because I think it's a spirit being. Because if you can shoot through it, I don't I don't think it's What's the word I'm looking for? A being. Yeah.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Corporeal? Corporeal? Yeah. Flesh and blood.
casey: Yeah, it's not. It's spirit. Whether it be a demon dog, a hybrid demon dog, I don't know. But I think it's something like that.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah.
casey: Because most of said you can see through it, it just disappears. It sounds like a hitchhiker that got hit on the road and she just haunts the highway and gets in people's cars.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Creepy.
casey: Yeah. That's what I think.
Mackenzie Hrubey: I think we can I think we can both agree that this is one that we would not want to encounter on a on a deserted road in the middle of night in Appalachia. Girl! Girl
casey: I would. No, I think I would. I think it would be inter It's not gonna hurt me. It has no interest in me. It has no
Mackenzie Hrubey: Too scary.
casey: interest in me. You know what's scary? Watching my background continuously get darker and darker is a little scary. Because it's
Mackenzie Hrubey: You w why is what's happening over there?
casey: I'm in my s I'm out in the sunroom and like I don't have my lights on because it's still kinda daylight out, but it's kinda getting dark.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Not now. Yeah. It's nighttime now.
casey: It's not nighttime, I can still see the road. It is. The snarly owls and actually
Mackenzie Hrubey: It's coming for ya. It's coming for ya.
casey: engulfing me and it's black fur. And I'm soon
Mackenzie Hrubey: Mm-hmm.
casey: to not be.
Mackenzie Hrubey: So listeners, not only should you tell us how you rank the snarly yow, but come back next week and see if Casey did or not get consumed by the devil creature. I am looking forward to finding out whether or not she has been consumed myself. And
casey: Take me, please.
Mackenzie Hrubey: please don't. Please don't I would miss
casey: Let me bring my dog with me.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Or at least bring her back, you know, take her for a little whirlwind and then just just bring her back. Yeah.
casey: yeah, like a little vacay. I love a quick trip.
Mackenzie Hrubey: The g do you have the PTO for that?
casey: don't worry. I am good.
Mackenzie Hrubey: What do you do? Do you email your manager and say, Hey, sorry, I got kidnapped by a cryptid?
casey: hey BRB not sure when I'll be back, but I've been abducted.
Mackenzie Hrubey: I'm gonna try that.
casey: And just leave it at that.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Do you remember like the superlatives from like high school? I feel like your superlative would be most likely to be abducted.
casey: Yes. I love that. And yeah. I hope. I
Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah. And mine would be
casey: w most likely to put herself in danger because you wanna catch still catch
Mackenzie Hrubey: Most smugly. Correct.
casey: a pucka wudgy.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Cause I wanna pet something. I'm gonna get rabies.
casey: Because yeah, because you want to pet something.
Mackenzie Hrubey: The pucalgies look spiky and I wanna know what texture they feel like.
casey: Spiky. Did you ever try and pet a cactus?
Mackenzie Hrubey: Well I'm gonna feel it. Yeah, I always touch cactuses. Do you not?
casey: No.
Mackenzie Hrubey: I always touch cactuses. It's like part of my ritual.
casey: What?
Mackenzie Hrubey: Yeah.
casey: W I have this one cactus and every time I replant it, it gets me. And like I have to go get Joe's real tiny little tweezers that he uses for his Warhammer and just fucking pluck it. And it's not always just one. They're just the tiny little hairs and you can only feel them like they're off it's awful. And you just touch it for fun. Are you okay? Do you need to talk to someone? I have a
Mackenzie Hrubey: No.
casey: number for a great therapist.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Ha ha ha.
casey: And it's not BetterHelp. But they could sponsor. But yeah, if BetterHelp wants to sponsor us,
Mackenzie Hrubey: Right. But if better top wants to sponsor us, that's up to them.
casey: you know. But
Mackenzie Hrubey: I think I see some something moving in the back of your room there. You better check check that out.
casey: Stop, you're creeping me out now. Stop. Alright guys. I may or may not be back next week. We'll find out soon.
Mackenzie Hrubey: Who knows?
