We’re going back to one of our faves -</span><strong>Hannah Cranna</strong><span>, the so-called “Wicked Witch of Monroe.” To celebrate two years of weirdness, we’re re-recording one of our favorite episodes, diving deeper into the strange and eerie legend of this 19th-century Connecticut witch. Accused of cursing neighbors, controlling the winds, and even predicting her own death, Hannah Cranna’s story is steeped in mystery and folklore. Was she truly a witch, or just a misunderstood woman in a time of superstition and fear?

<p>In this episode, we spiral straight into <strong>cryptid lore, folklore, and paranormal history</strong> as we explore the 400-year mystery of Champ, Lake Champlain’s very own lake monster. From <strong>Native American accounts and 1600s sightings</strong> to the infamous <strong>Champ photograph</strong> and modern cryptozoology investigations, we break down why this elusive creature refuses to stay buried at the bottom of the lake.</p>
<p>We talk:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Why <strong>Vermont literally passed laws to protect Champ</strong></p>
</li>
<li>
<p>What <strong>cryptozoologists like Katie Elizabeth</strong> believe about undiscovered species</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Why eyewitness descriptions of Champ are wildly different (and wildly unhinged)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>How <strong>local festivals, mascots, and pop culture</strong> turned a lake monster into a regional icon</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Plus, because this is <strong>Lunatic Soup</strong>, we also derail into:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Birthday chaos</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Internet weirdos</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Listener reactions</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>And personal stories about water, fear, and why we’re all just one lake monster sighting away from becoming feral</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Is Champ a surviving prehistoric creature? A misidentified animal? A hoax? Or proof that <strong>cryptids are hiding in plain sight</strong>? We don’t solve the mystery — but we absolutely make it fun.</p>
<p>If you love <strong>cryptids, lake monsters, paranormal podcasts, folklore, haunted history, weird legends, and chaotic storytelling</strong>, welcome to your new obsession.</p>
<p>Grab a drink, embrace the absurd, and remember: being a little bit of a lunatic is how you survive this timeline. </p>]]></description><link>https://lunatic-soup.castos.com/episodes/cryptid-campfire-champ</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://permalink.castos.com/podcast/54012/episode/2324471</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Megan Miller and Reyna Edmonds]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 15 Jan 2026 08:00:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/0b58d76c1e930afb32cf4941e730f7e2500f11fe168672c4c76e162e633e28e2/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiIzNGIyZDg2MC1iMTAwLTRmYjAtOGYxYy0xOThiMzMxZDFhYTUiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiJhMzFmM2E5NS1mNjZmLTQ3MzEtOWU1Yi1lODQwM2Y5ODQyYjEiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2NWNlN2IwMDNhMWQwOTlhNTQ0ZGQ0NzAiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvaW1wb3J0cy9wb2RjYXN0cy9hMzFmM2E5NS1mNjZmLTQ3MzEtOWU1Yi1lODQwM2Y5ODQyYjEvZXBpc29kZXMvMzRiMmQ4NjAtYjEwMC00ZmIwLThmMWMtMTk4YjMzMWQxYWE1L2MxZS14ajlyMmExNTg2anVrZDA4NC1ta2d4ZzRwZ2E3MWotb21ud3N2Lm1wMyJ9.mp3" length="208104309" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Season 4 of &lt;strong&gt;Lunatic Soup&lt;/strong&gt; launches the only way we know how: with technical disasters, unhinged laughter, birthday chaos, and a deep dive into one of America’s weirdest legends — &lt;strong&gt;Champ, the Lake Champlain Monster&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

Built in 1912 and shuttered in the 1970s, its sprawling campus still holds decaying farm buildings, underground tunnels, and a forgotten cemetery marked only by numbers. With rumors of experimental treatments, patient abuse, and mass unmarked graves, it’s no wonder ghost sightings, disembodied screams, and shadow figures are frequently reported by urban explorers and local residents.

And what if the stories are more real than we think?<br /> In this episode, we dive deep into Irish folklore, exploring how a diminutive chieftain transformed into a sinister revenant demanding blood – and how his story might have inspired one of the most famous vampires of all time. Discover the link between Irish legend and modern vampire lore, and learn about the mysterious stone still marking his grave in Derry — a site said to demand blood and guarded by powerful symbols like the sacred hawthorn.<br /> You'll discover:</p>
<ul>
<li>The origins of Abertach and his dark arts practices in the fifth century</li>
<li>How his obsession with survival and stature fueled his undead curse</li>
<li>The eerie connection between Irish folklore, the Fae, and vampire mythology</li>
<li>Modern theories that tie the Irish vampire to Bram Stoker’s Dracula and vampire legends worldwide</li>
<li>Why certain sacred trees and stones are believed to still harbor his restless spirit<br /> This is more than just legend — it’s history, magic, and the paranormal colliding in a story that’s been told for over a millennium. Perfect for fans of folklore, unsolved mysteries, and myth-busting stories that challenge what we’ve been told about the unknown.<br /> Are vampires just bloodsuckers, or are they echoes of a forgotten past deeply embedded in Ireland’s mystical landscape?
