Something’s howling in the Alaskan wild… and it’s not a bear.

In this episode of Campfire Bites, Kristin and Seleena take you deep into the frozen frontiers of folklore with three terrifying tales of towering beasts. From the weeping child-turned-giant known as the Urayuli, to the Kushtaka, a foul-smelling otter-like predator feared by the Tlingit, and finally the Nantiinaq — the thing that terrified an entire town into abandoning their homes forever.

These aren’t your average Bigfoot stories. These creatures haunt not just forests, but memory.

Plus: a global cryptid quiz, “Find That Foot,” where Kristin tries to match mysterious Bigfoot cousins to their origins.
