71. The Mogollon Monster & Goat People of Arizona

History Unhinged: Rainy Day Rabbit Holes

What do goatmen, turpentine, cryptid festivals, and cursed gold have in common? Apparently, Arizona — and we are here for it!
In this hilarious, unhinged episode of Rainy Day Rabbit Holes, Shea and Jody dive deep into the lore of Arizona’s Mogollon Monster and the absurd legend of the Goatman.
From bloodcurdling screams in the desert night to drunken prospectors falling in love with half-goat ladies, this episode is packed with bizarre stories, laughs, and wild theories.
Could Zeke’s forbidden romance have birthed Arizona’s Bigfoot? Could goats really be the secret architects of desert cryptids?
Listen as we unravel it all, one ridiculous thread at a time!
