Welcome to What The Heck's Creature Feature! These episodes release on Saturdays and look at folklore and cryptids from around the world! The same academic style is applied to these episodes, but they look at history and eyewitness reports before describing the creature of the week! A lot of the time, theories are a bit more scarce than the main episodes, but the content is still just as interesting.

This week we're looking at the Dover Demon. Over 2 nights in 1977, 3 teenagers saw a creature in Dover, Massachusetts. Some people dismissed it as a prank, or a baby moose, but others were convinced it was some kind of monster. Our cryptozoologist buddy Loren Coleman makes a return in the story and theories today, because he was one of the lead investigators for this case. Where was the creature spotted? What happened to it? What did Loren Coleman do in his investigation? Listen in to find out!
