Matt, Katie and EJ continue their investigation into the legends of Sewer Cryptids. During the mid-19th century, journalist Henry Mayhew chronicled the lives, work, and philosophies of London's lower class. He became particularly fascinated with the toshers, men who crept through the sewers looking for lost valuables. Their experiences, toiling away in the dingy tunnels, gave rise to fantastic tales. According to the toshers, a race of feral hogs roamed the underground, viscously attacking anyone they found. Even more unbelievable was the story of the Queen Rat, who could curse or bless a tosher, depending on her mood. Collectively, these legends paint a tapestry of folklore born from the darkness of an underworld just beneath London's feet.
