You’re standing on a beach in Big Sur, California during sunset. You’re doing your best to remain present, to fully take in the breathtaking landscape. As you scan the Santa Lucia Mountains, your eyes pick up on movement in the trees and you can barely make out the silhouette of a tall shadowy figure. You squint your eyes for a better look, but what you saw - or think you saw - has disappeared. Are you afraid of the Dark Watchers? In episode five of Coffee and Cryptids, Chris & Caitlin head to Big Sur with hopes of spotting these mysterious shadow creatures in their natural habitat. Our theme song is composed by Sean Wiggins & Angie Rubin. Show logo and episode art are by Maria Filar. Directed and edited by Chris Pudlo.
