North America is crawling with cryptids—but how many are real, and how many live only in legend? In this episode of ParaTruth: Reborn, Justin sits down with Jason Offutt, author of Chasing North American Monsters, to explore tales of Bigfoot, Mothman, lake monsters, and more. From the forests to the deserts, we ask: what strange creatures might be lurking just out of sight—and why do these stories endure?

Guest Bio: Jason Offutt grew up on a farm near the little town of Orrick, Missouri. In his life he’s been a farm hand, journalist, photographer, bartender, and the mayor of that same small town. Jason now teaches journalism at Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville, and keeps the world safe from the forces of evil.
