Folkoric Creatures and Where You Can't Find Them

From mythology to cryptids, today we talk about the most unscientific theories about the real world. Yes, we all know by now that Cher is a science nerd - even despite what her philosophy degree would make you think. Most of the episodes she’s written have been science based in some way. Not only is this episode not about anything factually accurate, it’s about that which straight up does not exist. No conspiracy theories here on The Gifted Kid Complex.Cher’s word of the day: preternatural; /ˌpɹiː.təˈnæt͡ʃ.(ə)ɹ.əl/existing outside of natureexceeding what is natural or regularinexplicable by ordinary meansSources for this episode:Myth and syncretism:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SyncretismLoveland Frog:https://theportalist.com/the-l....oveland-frogNingen:h Death Worm:https://science.howstuffworks.....com/science-vs-myth/ Devil:https://pinelandsalliance.org/....learn-about-the-pine hope you enjoyed this week’s episode of The Gifted Kid Complex!
