Albert Wilmarth, a professor of folklore at Miskatonic University, receives a curious piece of mail. It contains a recording of a man claiming that strange creatures live in the remote regions of the mountains of Vermont - just as described in old folklore. It's author presents compelling evidence and Professor Wilmarth eventually goes to Vermont to investigate for himself.

Special Pandemic Edition. Remember the coronavirus epidemic? We do. While everyone was under stay-at-home orders, the HPLHS team wanted to be able to provide an episode fans could enjoy during troubled times. This socially distanced episode was written and produced so no two members of our team were ever in the studio at the same time.  We stayed safe and hope you will too.
