Not all cryptids get the spotlight—and some prefer it that way. In this episode of Don't Forget Your Flashlight, we're diving into the shadows to explore three of the more elusive and lesser-known entities in the cryptid world. First up, we head to the backwoods of Ohio in search of the Grassman, a towering, territorial cousin of Bigfoot said to stalk the Appalachian foothills. Then, we fly south to Sri Lanka to investigate the terrifying screech of the Devil Bird, a mysterious creature of legend blamed for death and misfortune. Finally, we look to the skies—and our camera lenses—as we unravel the strange phenomenon of Air Rods, ethereal sky creatures captured in video footage but invisible to the naked eye.

Are these beings real, misunderstood, or tricks of the mind and camera? Grab your flashlight and follow us into the strange.
