Spooky on the Road | Michigan Cryptids and Paranormal Lore with Ashley Hilt

What should frighten a horror host traveling through Michigan? Fortean investigator Ashley Hilt joins Henrique Couto to explore the state’s cryptid and paranormal reputation.

Recorded while Weekly Spooky is on the road in Michigan, this conversation turns a simple trip into a field guide to the strange. Ashley brings an investigator’s perspective to reports of unexplained creatures, hauntings, and other phenomena that sit between folklore and evidence. Henrique wants to know what might be waiting beyond the highway—and why Michigan has become such fertile ground for unsettling stories.

Rather than presenting every frightening claim as fact, the discussion focuses on the fascination of Fortean investigation: listening to witnesses, recognizing recurring patterns, and understanding how landscape, local history, and community storytelling can keep a mystery alive. It is an audio-first road episode for listeners who enjoy cryptid reports, paranormal encounters, regional legends, and the people willing to follow those stories into the field.
