Have you been nice or naughty this year? Well if it was the latter, you probably had a visit from this week's creature, Krampus, on December 5th.

Join us for our second "Modern Folklore" episode! We narrate 3 stories as we delve into the world of No Sleeps, Creepypastas, and Let's Not Meets, which are the kinds of tales that folklore stems from.

This week we discuss the Domovoi, the small, hairy, old man that might live under your stove and originates in Slavic folklore.

The Spooktacular goodness continues with Part 2! October is our favorite time of year so we wanted to bring you something a little different, in the form of real-life ghost stories and creature encounters. Tales like these are the seeds that folklore springs from. We hope you enjoy them, because we certainly did! This and next week's episode are a little different than usual in that we have a special guest! That means there is more commentary, it's a little more casual, and we talk about things we usually don't touch on in our normal episodes - but, whether you're a believer or a skeptic, all opinions and views have value and veracity. As we discuss in part 1 - each person's reality is entirely different from everyone else's. And we all really live in the matrix, anyway. ;)   Cocktail of the week (well, 2 weeks): The Grave Robber.

This week we narrated and discussed three South African folk tales from the 1910 book "South-African Folk-Tales" by James A. Honey.

This week we go spelunking (figuratively, obvs) into the "Wondergat" or "Wonder Cave" that is home to the South African Cryptid, the Grootslang. Some sources say The Grootslang (or Grote Slang, Dutch / Afrikaans for "Big Snake") is a GIANT cobra (40 feet / 12 meters long), and some differ and say it has the head of an elephant and the body of a snake. Either way, it lives in the Richtersveld in South Africa and hoards gems (especially diamonds). We talk about the characteristics of the Grootslang, how it may have come to be (Dutch settlers or the indigenous Nama people, or a mishmash of both?), when the hell battery powered flashlights came about, why the Grootslang covets gems, and most importantly, what alignment it (and we are). We read a couple of excerpts from 'first-hand' accounts in the early-mid 1900s, and stress the importance of NOT BUYING blood diamonds, and don't recommend traveling with dynamite.      If you have any personal stories about creatures, monsters, or cryptids (even if you don't know what it was), please email us at stories@folkloreontherocks.com so we can eventually do a listener episode!

This week we narrated and discussed two Japanese folktales from the book "Japanese Fairy Tales" which was compiled by Yei Theodora Ozaki. The tales were: "The Farmer and the Badger" and "The Story of the Man Who Did Not Wish to Die". The book is available on Project Gutenburg. See our website for links and some illustrations from the book!   If you have any personal stories about creatures, monsters, or cryptids (even if you don't know what it was), please email us at stories@folkloreontherocks.com so we can eventually do a listener episode!

In our very first episode(!), we talk about the Jorōgumo (絡新婦, aka the 'whore spider' or 'entangling bride'), Japan’s shapeshifting spider-woman Yōkai (妖怪). Yōkai is a blanket term for a variety of supernatural creatures, monsters, and phenomena. Along with our Jorōgumo breakdown and surrounding folklore / tales, We discuss a super cool location in Kyoto, Japan called Yōkai Street (一条妖怪ストリート); the actual arachnid inspiration for the Jorōgumo, the Jorō Spider (ジョロウグモ); a bit about women and courtesans in Edo period Japan; and some of the many places spider-women have appeared in popular culture.
