THE Official Cryptid Factor Museum
Items sourced by our brave trio from across time and space.
Marking the first item in the Official Cryptid Factor Museum, Sir Edmund Hillary's Backpack.
And not just any backpack, oh no, this is the very one he took on the iconic 1960 Silver Hut Expedition - Setting out in the mountains of Nepal to find Yeti.
Hillary was one of us! He truly belived the Yeti was out there, and although he came back technically unsuccessful, he swore there were unexpalinable large prints up in those snowy peaks...
Now how did Buttons get his grubby mits on this treasure? Unbeknownst to Rhys and Dan, he blew 12.5k of the Patreon money at an auction! Not only the backpack but a handwritten note from Ed himself (allbeit a bit of a mean note...) and never-before seen tape from the expedition! All we have to do is develop it....Shouldnt take too long....right?
Listen to Issue #084 for more!
Next up, Dan was quick to follow suit (and show him up quite frankly) with the fossilized footsteps of the worlds oldest cryptid!
245 MILLION years old to be exact!
Somehow Dan convinced Melanie During, a researcher who famously discovered dinosaurs went extinct in Spring, to give him an incredibly precious slab of tiny, three pronged footprints. These fossilized footprints are from a very unknown animal, in fact all science knows about this animal are these footprints. How he got this through customs we will never know.
Check out Issue #093 to hear the reveal!
This one is hard to forget! Mostly because of how bloody loud it is...
An authentic Aztec Death Whistle sourced by Darbs himself on a recent trip to Mexico.
Legend goes (does Rhys making something up count as legend?) that the last person to speak before it's blown is the one who will DIE!
Current death count: Zero.
