Estonishing Legends is supported by movement watches, the Great Courses Plus,

Squarespace, and Mac Weldon. And we're back. You may have noticed that tonight's show took

a little longer to download. That's because, since it's our Halloween special, we decided to post

it in stereo rather than mono, for the sake of Ryan's wonderful sound design. We generally don't

post astonishing legends in stereo because it doubles file size, taking longer to download,

and using up more space on your already overburdened podcast playback device.

But what posting in mono does to Ryan's sound design is a straight-up crime.

So tonight, dig out those headphones, or play us back through the best

system at your disposal, because Ryan isn't fooling around, and we're coming at you in high

fidelity. I don't know if that was completely necessary, but we're an independent show,

and we get to do what we want. We want to say thanks to everyone for all the positive feedback

on part one of this series. Yes, and please leave us a positive review at iTunes. We need as many

as we can get in there to offset the occasional rabbit trolls that pop up like a weed in your driveway.

We hadn't said how many parts it was going to be last week because sometimes we can't be sure

until we start working on the topic. However, we now know that the Mothman series is going to be four.

You'll have to brace yourselves, however, because there's going to be a dark week between parts one

and two, and parts three and four. Part four will be a discussion of our theories on the legend,

scientific and supernatural alike. The dark week is there so I can manage Halloween with my son,

and also properly install and subsequently take down all of the animatronics and fog machines

that grace my front porch this time of year. That's going to be fun, but you know what isn't fun?

Being chased by the Mothman.

Welcome back to Estonishing Legends. I'm Scott Fulbrook, and this is Forrest Burgess.
