Beneath the streets of all major cities lie a mirror world of darkness. A sprawling network of interconnected tunnels and passageways, where all manner of monsters could lurk. As long as we’ve had sewers, we’ve had stories of the things that lived down there, in the dark, waiting for you to step just a little too far from the comfort of your home.

According to legends, our sewers are home for fearsome creatures, living amongst the filth and preying on interlopers. Vicious, wild hogs attacked anyone who ventured underground. Gigantic rats traveled in packs of hundreds, lead by a shapeshifting queen. Stampedes of cattle thundered below the streets, while blind alligators cruised the stinking waters hunting for prey. The stories of sewer cryptids serve as a rich foundation from which to explore human engineering, and the role that myths and legends play when technology and progress bumps up against the untamed world.

Matt, Katie and EJ conclude the saga of the Yeti hand heist. With Tom Slick’s plan in motion, Peter Byrne returns to Nepal and smuggles out a thumb and finger from the Pangboche Hand. To ally suspicion, the fragments are passed to Hollywood legend James Stewart and his wife Gloria. Using Stewart’s celebrity to bypass scrutiny, the fingers are hidden in Gloria’s lingerie bag and quietly flown to London. Once safely delivered, the fragments are passed to William Osman Hill and examined by leading scientists. Their results, and the fate of the Yeti hand, will become one of the controversial subjects in cryptozoology today.

Decades later, the mystery quietly continues, when the stolen Yeti fingers are rediscovered in a museum collection. In a symbolic act of restitution, a replica hand is returned to Pangboche Monastery in 2011, restoring what was lost—even if the truth is still to be revealed.
