Welcome to The Oddity Shop, Where the Bizarre is Always on Sale!  This week in the shop, Kara delves into the story of her favorite cryptid...The Puckwudgie!  Strap in for a mystical ride through American folklore as we explore the Wampanoag's storied legacy, from the "People of the First Light" to the tales of Maushop, the giant who crafted Cape Cod with love. But don't let the history fool you; our conversation takes a turn into the tall grass with stories of Puckwudgies, leaving us to ponder their place in a world where myth and reality blur. You'll get a kick out of our nerdy detours while we navigate the line between skepticism and belief. As we discuss Puckwudgies, we will dive into their strange behaviors, and even share with you some first hand accounts from people who have had their own run ins. And as we bid adieu to another year, we're not just reflecting; we're inviting you to join the conversation. Whether you're a believer in the mystical or just here for the good company, your stories are the secret sauce that keeps our podcast fresh.
