What happened in this sleepy town in 1903? Was it a never before seen creature? A demon? Or a game of telephone induced by over-active imaginations? What did the people of Van Meter see? #vanmetervisitor #betweenmythandbelief #cryptid #mythandbelief

This week we dive into the cold, northern seas as we discuss the haunting beauty and lament of the Selkie. Are they real or just a primitive misunderstanding of unknown? Michelle discovers her new favorite myth and Beth falls in love, again, with the Faroe Islands. #betweenmythandbelief #selkies

Was the Beast actually something more than a wolf? This week Beth brings us a story steeped in history, mystery, and misogyny (and an abundance of butchered French names). #beastofgevaudan #betweenmythandbelief #werewolf or #direwolf

Not only a unique name, but an intriguing individual who, much like Fox Mulder, wanted to believe. However, the facts just rarely added up. Meet Nandor Fodor and his interesting and often strange life. #betweenmythandbelief #nandorfodor #gefthetalkingmongoose

This week we discuss battles between good and evil that take place within dreams, and the once praised and then scorned Benandanti. No one expects the Italian Inquisition!#betweenmythandbelief #benandanti #goodwalkers

In the 1960s, a historian opened an archive box that hadn't been touched in centuries. Inside were the testimonies of people who knew exactly who they were, before the Inquisition convinced them otherwise. This week we're talking about the Benandanti, the Good Walkers of Friuli.

New name! New look! Same podcast! This week we look at the story of the witch that probably wasn’t, the disappearances that were murders, and a vigilante mob that almost was that haunted this tiny town. #witchatboogerhole #betweenmythandbelief #ghosts #maybe

That is right. I am TERRIBLE at choosing podcast names. So, over time we have debated and circled the issue on both our podcasts. While we hit home with Cozy Quilt Cinema, our other love, Folkloric was left out in the cold. No longer! The placeholder is gone, and we have given her a name. Welcome!

This thing literally went bump in the night. Join us as we ponder the Enfield Horror and try to logic -either through science or lore- what was tormenting the people of this quiet town in the 70’s. #enfieldhorror1973 #folkloricpodcast #cryptids

Do the trees haunt us or are they a part of a deeper lore? This week we discuss the mythology and lore pertaining to those wooden monoliths and how we, as humans, have either nurtured or feared them in this episode of Folkloric. #trees #folkloricpodcast #vampiretrees #meaningoftrees
