What's your favourite Love Song?On this month's episode of Forgotten Melodies, to cap off February, we're chatting about our own, and digging into and performing three iconic folk songs about love. These new arrangements are of Cupid the Pretty Plough Boy, Green Bushes and No John No, including our friend Katie Sommers singing soprano parts, plus Martin, Ben and Eleanor chatting about the history and context of each tune.From the roots of the Love Ballad in the Middle East and north Africa via Renaissance poetry and the blooming of comic opera, the Love Songs of today have been on a long journey of evolution.And yet, has the nature of love really changed so much across the centuries?Have we lost things in the mission to make some of these songs 'Drawing Room Safe?'And can Ben ever explain the Dorian Mode in a way Martin will understand?!We hope you enjoy listening to us chewing over these questions and much more beside - and this clutch of brighter songs as the weather brightens into spring.Speak to you again on Saturday, with this week's Local Legends interview with David Rowe, and again on Sunday for our March Update episode!The Three Ravens is a Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on a historic county, exploring the heritage, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more.

From creatures to avoid in the woods to superstitions about numbers, folklore not only gives us inspiration for stories, but also stories for the characters in your world to tell. So where do folktales come from, and how can we use them in our worldbuilding? Amélie Wen Zhao joins us to investigate the roots of folkloric monsters and their narrative potential! We talk about the sometimes blurry lines between folklore, mythology, fables, and legends. Sometimes, that distinction is about the scale of the story: are we talking about the creation of the world, or are we talking about the little creature that lives in your oven to keep your bread warm? Folklore is often more personal as well as more localized, and thus the stories are often very culturally-specific -- and that means they can communicate a lot about your characters' beliefs and values, representative of the world they've grown up in! You also get to decide... are these creatures only stories within your world, or are they really real there? [Transcript for Episode 175] Our Guest: Amélie Wen Zhao was born in Paris and grew up in Beijing, where she spent her days reenacting tales of legendary heroes, ancient kingdoms, and lost magic at her grandmother's courtyard house. She attended college in the United States and now resides in New York City, working as a finance professional by day and fantasy author by night. In her spare time, she loves to travel with her family in China, where she's determined to walk the rivers and lakes of old just like the practitioners in her novels do.

Ice fishing turns into a frozen-lake nightmare in this chilling winter horror tale. A widower heads out onto thick, steel-strong ice for a quiet day on the lake—testing every step like his grandpa taught him—until the silence becomes unnatural, the surface starts to crack, and something black and slick glides beneath his fishing hole.What begins as a peaceful survival routine spirals into supernatural terror tied to old local secrets: an abandoned lakeside development, whispers of missing children, and a backwoods history that never stayed buried. When the ice finally breaks, it isn't just freezing water waiting below—it's a monster that shouldn't exist, and a fight that demands more than courage to survive.If you love scary stories, winter horror, creature features, and supernatural suspense with a hard-hitting emotional core, this one will hook you and drag you under. Don't trust the quiet. Don't trust the thickness. And whatever you do… always check the ice.ON THE ICE — by Douglas Waltz

The Gullah Geechee are descendants of West and Central Africans enslaved on the Sea Islands and coastal plantations. Isolated in these regions, they preserved a unique creole language and a rich spiritual folklore. For a long time, any ghostly apparition or sinister spirit in the Lowcountry was simply called a "haint," a term for haunt or ghost. But over time, people realised not all haints were the same. Gullah lore eventually classified the evil spirits into two categories: plat-eyes and boo-hags.The BOOKBY US A COFFEEJoin Sarah's new FACEBOOK GROUPSubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch Links:https://genteelandbard.com/southern-history-haunts-folklore-journal/boo-hags-plat-eyeshttps://www.blacksouthernbelle.com/www-blacksouthernbelle-com-gullah-geechee-folk-rituals-hoodoo-voodoo-and-conjuringhttps://www.monstropedia.org/index.php/Plat-eyehttps://www.reddit.com/r/dogman/comments/1dz4act/i_learned_something_new_and_i_want_to_talk_abouthttps://charlestonterrors.com/boo-hags-haint-blue-vampires-of-the-lowcountry-the-paint-that-stops-them/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boo_haghttps://www.reddit.com/r/Paranormal/comments/ufxm0g/old_hag_sleep_paralysis_about_7_years_agoThanks so much for listening, and we'll catch up with you again on Thursday.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds," Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licenced under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licencehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

The Devil's Ledger Week of February 22 The flame is out. The mountains fall quiet. This week on The Devil's Ledger, we say farewell to the Winter Olympics — and to the Italian Alps, whose beauty, history, and lingering shadows reminded us that even the most breathtaking places tend to keep a few secrets. But while the games end, the stories across the network are just getting started. The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week Nature delivered the reminder. In March of 1888, a storm known as The White Hurricane buried the Northeast under up to 50 inches of snow, with drifts rising to the height of buildings. Communication collapsed. Cities were cut off. More than 400 people died — many only steps from safety. The storm didn't just paralyze the region. It changed it. In response, New York began moving critical infrastructure underground — a decision that eventually led to the creation of the subway system. Sometimes the scariest stories aren't about monsters. They're about how quickly control disappears. On The Devil Within By listener request, we begin a two-part series on one of America's most enduring and unsettling legends: The Mothman West Virginia. The 1960s. Glowing red eyes. Massive wings. Dozens of witnesses. And a chilling pattern — sightings that seem to appear before tragedy. Folklore? Mass hysteria? Something unknown? Or a warning. On The Ides of April A new historical arc begins: Alexander the Great A young king who conquered the known world before the age of thirty — and may have outrun the limits of power itself. Empire. Ambition. Destiny. And the question history always asks: What happens when there's nothing left to conquer? On Taboo Treasures The guys return with a sharp and satirical look at one of humanity's stranger traditions: The most dangerous jobs we've ever created. From ancient hazards to modern risks, it's a darkly funny exploration of the ways people have risked their lives… for a paycheck. On Criminal Mischief Carolyn Ossorio brings updates on several major cases currently dominating the news, including developments involving Nancy Guthrie, Brendan Banfield, and other ongoing investigations. Because in true crime, the story rarely ends when the headlines move on. On Finding Me with Josh Wolf Josh continues his daily journey into the uncomfortable territory most of us try to avoid: Accountability. Honesty. And the work of figuring out what actually needs attention. Personal. Raw. Necessary. This Week in Horror For Gen X horror fans, this one feels personal. The seventh installment of the Scream franchise arrives in theaters. When a new Ghostface targets Sidney's daughter, she's forced to confront her past — and end the cycle of violence once and for all. Some franchises fade. Others grow up with us. And somehow… Ghostface is still calling. Closing Thought As this episode releases, a major winter storm is moving toward the Northeast. A reminder — like the storms of the past — that control is often temporary. If you're in its path: Slow down. Stay warm. Check on each other. We're thinking of you. Until next week… Stay curious. Stay careful. And stay safe out there.

On this week's episode of Three Ravens we're headed to a Welsh county with two separate sections - historic Flintshire!The county where Edward I began his conquest of Wales, the prehistory of Flintshire is just as interesting as what's happened more recently. And more recently the county was the place where the global price of lead was set - it is a major mover and shaker as counties go, with or without its 'Flintshire Detached' section!From the 3,500 year old Gold Cape of Mold to the country house home of four-time Prime Minister of Great Britain William Gladstone, the last stone castle built by the Welsh to a site of pilgrimage that has been in use for 1,300 years, there's tonnes to talk about!Plus, bolstered by some extracts of this week's Local Legends interview with author and Flintshire historian David Rowe, it turns out the county has heaps of folklore, too. From ghosts and giant legless frogs with bat wings to The Demon of Flint, some excellent examples of folk magic, and "The Stone of Lamentation" we revel in the strangeness of it all.Then though, it's time for Martin's story, "Deborah's Well," a story of a woman slain by her brother, but who walks on, and has done so for a very long time...We hope that you enjoy the episode, and will speak to you again on Thursday with a brand new episode of Forgotten Melodies all about Love Songs before the full interview with David comes out on Saturday!Three Ravens is a Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on a historic county, exploring the heritage, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more.

This episode stands alone—jump in for ghosts, UFOs, true crime, folklore, and horror history with plenty of laughs along the way.

In this episode of The Writing Life, Trinidadian writer Celeste Mohammed reflects on the role of family, mythology, and Caribbean folklore in her writing.   Celeste has been a lawyer since 2001 but she has been telling stories all her life. A native of Trinidad and Tobago, in 2016, she graduated from Lesley University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, with an MFA in Creative Writing (Fiction). Her debut novel Pleasantview won the 2022 OCM Bocas Prize for Caribbean Literature. Ahead of its publication in the Caribbean and the UK, a story from her current novel-in-stories Ever Since We Small was shortlisted for the 2024 Commonwealth Short Story Prize.   She sat down with her friend and fellow Trinidadian writer Ayanna Lloyd Banwo to discuss Ever Since We Small, a powerful novel-in-stories in which survival, resilience and self-discovery are passed down through generations of an Indo-Trinidadian family. Together, they explore her use of the short story form to create an intricately woven tapestry of stories, Caribbean folklore, and the book's themes of belonging, resistance, and legacy.

Cath is especially interested in re-imagining tales from The Mabinogion.

Stories are the thread which run through her long and varied career, and she's also the author of Glamorgan Folk Tales for Children, illustrated by Peter Stevenson. Cath performs at festivals across Britain and Ireland, and somehow also finds time to run the Cardiff Storytelling Circle and their seasonal concerts Tales for the Turning Year, and tell stories at Oasis, a Cardiff-based charity for refugees and asylum seekers.Learn more about Cath and her work on her website, https://www.cathlittle.co.uk/Otherwise, settle in for a lovely chat about favourite local tales, spots which inspire Cath, puppets, ghostly knights, children using skulls to play football, and so much more!

Can what is broken be repaired? This episode comes after a life episode of burnout, a moment when nothing made sense. It unfolds like fragments, pieced together, tracing the feeling of being broken—and finding meaning within it.From fragmentation in landscapes, to the myth of Osiris in Ancient Egypt, to ancestral rites of dismemberment, to dreams, to repairing broken clay with golden dust—this podcast episode aims to show through storytelling how what is broken can be the beginning of something whole.How can we see the light among the fractures? How do myths guide us through the stages of human life, toward adulthood? How did our ancestors understand being broken, and what can we learn from them today?⭐ If you liked the episode, please share it and rate it 5 stars on your favourite platform.Sources:https://traditionalkyoto.com/culture/kintsugi/https://www.britannica.com/topic/Osiris-Egyptian-godhttps://gabrielamgutierrez.substack.com/p/the-ritual-of-dismembermentCover: Narcissus by Caravaggio, c.1597–c.1599Hosted on Ausha.

For our first episode of the Three Ravens Bestiary for 2026, we're talking all about Centaurs and Pegasus!We begin in Dark Age Greece, way back before Homer, when horse-riding cavalry suddenly became a factor in human life. Representations in art leave us in no doubt - the combination of a horse with a man makes for a terrifying foe, though that's only the start of the story.Starting with Homer, developed by Hesiod, expanded upon by Pindar, then reinterpreted by Ovid, Centaurs graduate from fearful, lusty, xenophobic savages to become something else - a version of human beings, though unable to restrain their animalistic urges. From Cheiron, the wise and noble mentor to many an Ancient Greek hero, on through to C.S. Lewis and J.K. Rowling, we are left in a place where now we have to wonder what ought a Centaur be a symbol for, if anything at all?Then we switch our focus to the primal flying wonder-horse and father of horsekind, Pegasus, who is born out of his mother's neck, has a non-identical twin brother we don't talk about, and who perhaps got a bit carried away himself during escapades with Bellerophon, Prince of Corinth. As always, expect lots of nerdy references to dead people and things, a few digressions to talk about, for example, whether horses are innately shifty, and plenty more besides - so bring your Golden Bridle and let's giddyup!Speak to you again on Saturday for Eleanor's Local Legends interview about Glamorganshire with author, folklorist and storyteller Cath Little!Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcastREGISTER FOR THE TALES OF SOUTHERN ENGLAND TOURVisit our website Join our Patreon Social media channels and sponsors Hosted on Acast.

Meta has filed a patent for an AI system that trains a language model on a dead person's behavioral data and keeps their social media account running after they die. It can post, message, and simulate video calls. But this is not a new problem. Every major culture in human history developed elaborate rituals for managing the active dead, from Norse draugr to Roman Lemures to Japanese hungry ghosts to Chinese possession ceremonies. They all understood one thing - the channel has to close.​​If you are having a mental health crisis and need immediate help, please go to​ ​​​https://troubledminds.org/help/ and call somebody right now.

A long, quiet, deeply unsettling journey through Year Walk, a folklore‑rooted mystery that feels part ghost story, part documentary, part “did this really happen?” Blair Witch energy. This playthrough ended up spanning almost four hours because we deep dive into and read everything - including the Journal at the end and all of its entries. I'll be thinking about this game for a long time. The folklore, the symbols, the creatures, the journal entries… everything feels like it's pointing to something older, sadder, and more human than a typical horror story. And when you reach the researcher's notes at the end, the whole narrative reframes itself in a way that's genuinely tragic, shocking, and leads you into a rabbit-hole of wonder. If you like slow, atmospheric mysteries, Scandinavian folklore, or stories that blur the line between myth and memory, I think you'll enjoy settling into this one with me. Thank you for walking with me through this strange, beautiful, heartbreaking little world ❤️ Developer: ⁠ ⁨@simogogames⁩ ⁠ simogo year walk, year walk gameplay, year walk full playthrough, year walk lore, year walk ending explained, year walk journal, year walk story, year walk analysis, year walk walkthrough, atmospheric horror game, folklore horror game, swedish folklore, indie horror game, cozy horror, quiet horror, narrative horror game, blair witch vibes, unsettling games, eerie games, mythic horror, atmospheric lets play, longplay, long playthrough, cozy narration, slow gaming, immersive storytelling, indie game playthrough

For today's episode, we're venturing to the south of Wales to historic Glamorganshire.We talk about the county's very ancient life, including the discovery of the oldest bones in Western Europe, and its development into industrial glory, and later, industrial depression.Glamorganshire is a real treasure trove of folklore, from extremely stabby fairies to helpful ghosts and suspiciously nice snakes. We dabble in a bit of local love magic, and go hunting with Mallt y Nos and her pack of hellhounds.Trundling in our rickety mine cart down into the copper works of the past, we stop off for Eleanor's story, "A Peculiar Thirst," a tale of a trip which takes an unexpected turn.We hope that you enjoy the episode, and will speak to you again on Thursday with a brand new episode of the Three Ravens Bestiary all about Centaurs!Three Ravens is a Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on a historic county, exploring the heritage, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more.

The Stanley Hotel isn't just a famous haunted hotel in Estes Park, Colorado—it's a place where real disaster and pop-culture horror fused into one unstoppable legend. Tonight, we trace the true story that begins with a stormy night in 1911, when acetylene gas silently pooled inside Room 217… and a single candle turned the west wing into a blast zone. A young head chambermaid, Elizabeth Wilson, is hurled through collapsing floors—and somehow survives. From there, the Stanley's history becomes a slow-burn nightmare: financial collapse, empty winter hallways, and decades of ghost lore—from whispers of F.O. Stanley still “checking in” on the lobby, to tales of Flora Stanley's phantom piano echoing through silent rooms. Then comes the turning point: October 30, 1974—a nearly empty hotel, a writer in Room 217, and a nightmare that helps ignite Stephen King's The Shining (without claiming ghosts as fact). And once the Stanley becomes the pilgrimage site for horror fans, the modern era kicks the door in—paranormal TV, viral “evidence,” festivals, and a full-tilt business model built on one irresistible question: is it haunted… or is it just brilliantly haunted-by-storytelling? A real explosion. A real survival. A real hotel that learned to live forever as a legend.We're telling that story tonight.

The Big Bull Tunnel in Wise County, Virginia looks like any other railroad tunnel, just a simple cut through a hillside.  Looks, though, can be deceiving, as the tunnel's history is packed with accidents, strange noises, deaths, and a chilling encounter that turned a routine inspection into a bit of Appalachian folklore. In this episode, Steve and Rod tell the story of the tunnel's difficult construction, the tragedies that followed, and the story that convinced railroad officials something inside the mountain was best avoided.If you like our Stories of Appalachia, be sure to subscribe and share the podcast with friends who love Appalachian history and folklore.

On this week's episode of Local Legends Martin's flagged over Griff, the trusty Ford Fiesta, belonging to travel writer and folklorist Russ Williams. Author of the WTF blog and Where The Folk: A Welsh Folklore Road Trip, Russ trained as a journalist, had a jaunt overseas in Australia, and felt hiraeth calling him. He's now based in Cardiff, but North Wales will forever be home. Which is very handy for us, as he doesn't just know Caernarfonshire's folk tales and character - he has been to these places, spoken to local people, and, in some cases, even washed dishes in haunted pubs.

In this powerful episode of Cryptid Warfare, Andrew sits down with Dr. Dennis Carroll to break down the truth about angels — what the Bible actually says, what most Christians misunderstand, and why angelology matters now more than ever.   We dive deep into:   • What angelology really is • The hierarchy and different types of angels in Scripture • Seraphim, Cherubim, Archangels, and the “living creatures” • Angels in spiritual warfare • Biblical encounters that shook entire nations • Firsthand modern accounts of angelic intervention   Are angels symbolic? Are they warriors? Do they still show up today?   This episode goes beyond Sunday school theology and into the raw, biblical reality of heavenly beings operating under the authority of God.   If you're serious about understanding the unseen realm — this is Angelology 101.    The battle is real.  Heaven is not passive       Dr. Dennis Carroll is a National and Internationally Known Writer/Author and an Authority on The Occult and Folklore. His career in all Fields of the Paranormal and The Supernatural has spanned over 55+ Years. He is a Spiritual Research and Demonology Consultant and a Cryptid and Ufology Investigative Field Researcher.
