Episode 154: Huggin' Molly and Alabama Cryptids
Episode 154
Tuesday, 6 January, 2026

In this episode we are exploring the chilling intersection of history and folklore across the humid hollows of Tennessee and Alabama. From the "White Thang"—a screaming, pale anomaly that mimics the cries of a baby—to the suffocating nighttime embrace of Abbeville’s "Huggin' Molly," the podcast investigates the regional boogeymen that haunt the Southern landscape. Whether it’s a man-eating serpent in the Coosa River or a cursed witch stalking Hinds Road, these tales go beyond simple campfire stories to examine the consistent, unsettling accounts that have terrified generations.
