It’s an early release this week! First, Chris Vera from Columbia Historic Preservation Society stops by to talk about the Albatwitch Day festival and some possible albatwitch sightings. Next, a different Chris tells his story of seeing something very large and very hairy on his farm in Texas. He also relates a tale about something large and black standing over him while he slept in a hammock.
