Greenland's Monsters & Chasing North American Cryptids with Jason Offutt

In this episode of Talking Strange, host Aaron Sagers is joined by author Jason Offutt to explore the strange creatures hiding in North American folklore and eyewitness reports. Offutt is the author of Chasing North American Monsters: A Guide to Over 250 Creatures from Greenland to Guatemala. The conversation takes a timely turn toward Greenland, a place suddenly dominating global headlines, but also home to chilling monster legends shaped by extreme landscapes, isolation, and centuries of oral tradition. The discussion also looks at Offutt’s early fascination with monsters, which began with tracking Bigfoot stories through old newspaper archives, and leads into a deeply unsettling personal experience involving a full bodied apparition. Along the way, Aaron and Jason unpack how cryptids are documented, why certain regions generate more monster stories than others, and how folklore adapts in the modern media age. If creatures are reported independently across generations, regions, and cultures, when does folklore stop being dismissed and start becoming evidence? _______________________________________________________________ The Talking Strange Show with Aaron Sagers is a weekly paranormal pop culture show featuring celebrity and author interviews, as well as experts in all things strange and unexplained.
