A note at the top of the episode, after much debate we've decided to take a month long hiatus. Ellie is out of the country in Iceland and Jesse is visiting some friends in Florida, making our production very challenging to complete. We'll be ba
If you've heard of Iceland, chances are good that you've heard of the huldufolk (yes, Ellie knows she made a goof 'em up of the spelling in the episode). The huldufolk are a group of entities who inhabit the island and live alongside the people
We're joined by folklorists Lynne S. McNeill and Andrea Kitta to discuss... a lot of stuff! We touch on the old hag, the role of fake news, folklorist cosplay, Slenderman, UFOs, /fiction--you name it, I bet we discuss it! Recorded at the ISCLR

Do you have a house on your street that just won't sell? An apartment that won't rent? Maybe it has a spooky store attached to it, or it just looks like it could be haunted. Well, we folklorists have a term for that--stigmatized property. This
In preparation for Easter, Ellie and Jesse decided it would be fun to look at an urban legend--the Bunnyman. Even though this legend has very little to do with Easter, it does feature one of the most prominent icons of the holiday: the bunny ra
