On this episode of The Low Expectations Podcast, we dive into two of the most unsettling and iconic paranormal cases in U.S. history. First, we explore the eerie 1955 encounter known as the Goblins of Kentucky, where a rural family claimed to battle mysterious, glowing creatures in a night of terror. Then, we dissect the Abduction in New Hampshire—the chilling tale of Betty and Barney Hill, whose 1961 alien abduction experience became the first widely publicized case in America.

Whether you’re a believer, a skeptic, or somewhere in between, this episode is packed with alien lore, cryptid legends, true paranormal encounters, and the kind of strange-but-true stories we love to unravel—with low expectations and high curiosity.

In this spine-tingling episode of The Low Expectations Podcast, we crack open the Cryptid Files to explore two legendary monsters that have haunted local folklore for generations.

First up: the Jersey Devil—a winged, horned creature said to lurk in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey, terrorizing travelers and leaving behind decades of reported sightings. Then we head to 1952 West Virginia, where the Flatwoods Monster, a towering alien-like figure with glowing eyes and a metallic dress, allegedly descended from the skies in one of the eeriest UFO-meets-cryptid cases in American history.

Tune in as we blend creepy accounts, folklore history, and just the right amount of sarcasm—because, hey, we’re still keeping those expectations low.

In one of the most disturbing—and truly unhinged—moments in Church history, Nicole and Lyndsay dig up the grisly details of the Cadaver Synod, the 9th-century spectacle where a dead pope was exhumed and put on trial. Yes, you read that right: they dug him up, dressed him in papal robes, and dragged his corpse into court.

🧠 This episode of The Low Expectations Podcast dives into the power struggles, paranoia, and papal pettiness that led to one of the Catholic Church’s darkest and most surreal chapters. It’s morbid. It’s absurd. It’s 100% real.

⚖️ In this episode, we cover:

• The political chaos of 9th-century Rome
• Why Pope Formosus was exhumed and "tried" after death
• The unhinged theatrics of the Synodus Horrenda
• What happened to the pope’s corpse afterward (spoiler: it wasn’t good)
• How the event shaped future Church power moves and scandals

Perfect for fans of true crime, religious history, dark comedy, and stories that make you go, “Wait, WHAT?” — this is one you won’t want to miss.
