72. Thunderbird

Something is stalking the skies of North America. The stories date back to the days before the Eastern World invaded the land of our Natives. Stories of gigantic creatures flying overhead aiming for humans as their prey. Wings large enough that when they flapped they were told to have made the sound of thunder clapping and spontaneously creating storms in their wakes. Today we dive into the path of the Thunderbird and discuss the history and most current events that leave evidence of this creature's true identity. Welcome back to Infinite Rabbit Hole.
