Hometown Haunts Podcast

S5 Episode 105 HODAG He’s green, mean, and looks and eats white bulldogs- tonight we’re talking about Rhinelander, Wisconsin’s HODAG! Legend had it that this “Hodag” was the reincarnated spirit of the sturdy, hardworking oxen that dragged logs from the forest. Join Kat, Jen, and Christina for tonight's exciting episode about the creature with the head and paws of a giant cat but covered in scales with dagger-like spikes running along its back and tail!
