šŸ”„EPISODE 1

šŸ•· ā€œThe Mantis Man of the Musconetcong — Part One: The

Thing in the Riverā€

This week, we head back to Jefferson Township — back to the lake, the spillway, and the

narrow stretch of river where I spent my entire childhood swimming, boating, fishing… and

apparently missing a seven-foot translucent praying mantis humanoid lurking just

downstream.

While I was buried in Tommy Sullivan and chasing the Jersey Devil through the Pines, a

monster was hiding in plain sight — right where I grew up.

In Part One, we break down the origin story of Mantis Man, the eerie local legend born from a

handful of eyewitnesses who swear they saw something tall, thin, silent, and very unhuman

standing in the Musconetcong River.

šŸ“š Chapters

1. 🌊 Where the Water Comes From

2. šŸŽ£ The Fisherman Who Didn’t Expect Company

3. šŸš— The Driver on the Bridge

A hometown haunting. A river full of secrets. And a cryptid I cannot believe I never heard about

until adulthood.
