In this special bonus podcast episode of Not Your Average Bucket List: Local Lore & Legends, we sit down with Heather Moser from the film production company Small Town Monsters to discuss Ohio urban legends & cryptids. Heather Moser grew up in the foothills of Appalachia, and her heart is squarely on collecting spooky tales from the region and diving into historical and genealogical records. She is a classics professor, author, and researcher. She is most proud of her roles as a researcher and producer for the film production company Small Town Monsters and helping launch Small Town Monsters Publishing! You can read some of her work in the first and third volumes of The Feminine Macabre and the Into the Fray Weird Writer blog archives. You can contact her on Instagram @paganhistorian or via email: heather@smalltownmonsters.com.
