The Wendigo and The Thunderbird

Hi all! This episode is about changelings. These creatures are a huge part of fairy folklore and have been around for centuries. I have compiled a few stories of allegedly true encounters with these beings. 

This episode is about a few of the more creepier Christmas characters that have been used in many cultures to scare children into behaving. Gryla from Iceland, the Kallikantzaroi from Greece, and the infamous Krampus. 

This is a Halloween special which discusses the folktale of The Headless Horseman, and the legend of sleepy hollow. I also share a few ghost stories. Enjoy! Happy Halloween!

This episode is about house fairies, with a focus on the Scottish lore of the Brownie. 

This episode tells the stories of the creation of the Celtic people, the Navajo, and the Greeks. 

This episode looks at two folktales that involve the classic witch type figure. Baba Yaga from Slavic folklore, and La Befana from Italian Folklore and tradition. Both are not what they seem. 

This episode is about the Native Legends of the Wendigo and the Thunderbird. They are fascinating and are backed up with eye witness encounters. I apologize for my pronunciation. It was pretty terrible in some parts. The moral of the story is to not go against the rules of morality. Selfishness and greed will lead you down a dark path. Enjoy!

This episode is about the Leanan Sidhe or Dark Muse, The Gananagh or love talker, and the story of Tam Lin. Feel free to email [email protected] if you would like to share any stories of your own. You can also listen to this podcast at talesoffaeandfolklore.wordpress.com 

This episode is about deals with the devil and crossroads. We discuss Niccolo Paganini, Faust, and Blues legend Robert Johnson. 

This is a very popular folktale known all over the world. Some say it is a medical condition related to sleep paralysis, other believe it is a evil entity attacking you while you are most vulnerable.
