Hot, rich, European, emotionally unavailable... sound familiar?It's your Hinge profile all over again.No, silly, it's vampires!We are thrilled to welcome back folklorist and queer historian, Sacha Coward (author of Queer as Folklore) this week, as we trace the gloriously queer history of vampires—from ancient blood-sucking demons to modern brooding bisexuals.Drape your capes and get ready to dive into:Lilith, the original bad girl who got kicked out of Eden for not sleeping with Adam.The juicy backstory of Lord Byron, a chaotic bisexual whose life inspired the first mean, cold, sexy vampiresCarmilla, the 19th-century vampire lesbian who walked so Pam and Tara inTrue Blood could one day suckHow Hollywood turned queer people into monsters so they could portray them onscreenWhy vampires got hotter, more leathery, and more counterculture in the aftermath of the AIDS epidemicPlus, how vampires got from Dracula terror to Twilight trysting, from cursed to cool, from monsters of the fringe to main characters with fangbanging stans.As Sacha eloquently puts it:"Vampire here. Vampire not going anywhere." (Direct quote)

OUR FIRST EVER BOOK, THREE RAVENS FOLK TALES, IS PUBLISHED TODAY!!!Also, we have a new Lang Fairy Tale for you to enjoy. It is called The Terrible Head and it's part Oedipus, part Perseus, part Hercules, and involves the throwing of quoits. Not sure what quoits are? Not a problem - it doesn't really matter anyway...If you are unfamiliar with the Lang Fairy Tales, these seminal collections were assembled between 1889 and 1913 by a married couple, folklorists and translators Nora and Andrew Lang, with most of the work done to compile them completed by Nora, also known as Leonora Blanche Alleyne.Assembled and published in 12 colour-coded "Fairy Books," the corpus the Langs put together included 798 fairy tales from across cultures, many of which had never before been translated into English.They were amongst the most influential books of their time, changing the course of children's literature - although they're hardly just for children, and often deal with quite challenging concepts.Today, purchasing a complete set of the Lang Fairy Books in good condition costs over £4,000 ($5,000+).Thankfully, the collections are all out of copyright, meaning that we can now tell these stories, in podcast form, many for the first time, and share them with a global audience, for free.Our plan is to release the stories between main series of Three Ravens, performing them straight (though with plenty of silly voices) letting the tales speak for themselves in all their madcap, sharp-edged, often quite bizarre glory.The only edits we have made are to amend some culturally-insensitive epithets, which typically pertain to ethnicity, with any such edits made by Eleanor Conlon.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/threeravenspodcastThree Ravens is a myth and folklore podcast hosted by Eleanor Conlon and Martin Vaux.In each Monday episode we explore a historic county, digging into heritage, folklore and traditions, then we tell a new version of a legend from that county.

Although the previous episode - The History of Witchcraft In Cheshire - was the official end of the podcast, the recent discovery of a recording from back in 2023, long since assumed deleted, means there is one more 'lost' episode to release: Village Horror Story - The Brutal Folklore of Civil War Bagnall.In a peaceful, rural corner of North Staffordshire, famed for its well-dressings and idyllic atmosphere, two distinct memories of true human horror have found themselves handed down through the years in local folklore. But far from being a product of gruesome embellishment, it could well prove to be the case that these stories of massacre and revenge are completely, horrifically true.Mythstoric Journeys, the hardback anthology collection from Eli, is available here!Visit thelocalmythstorian.com

Sammy, Jack Kelly, and Elizabeth celebrate Tom Cairney's time at the club with a special episode of Fulham Folklore - we remember how he was a shining light in a struggling Championship team, reflect on his iconic goal at Wembley which sent us to the Premier League, and revel in his new role as a super-sub under Marco Silva.

We're starting this week strong, with a Lang Fairy Tale called The Wonderful Sheep which starts out like King Lear, and then, all of a sudden, a woman falls in love with a sheep. Be assured - it all stays perfectly PG-rated. But then that ending... crikey!If you are unfamiliar with the Lang Fairy Tales, these seminal collections were assembled between 1889 and 1913 by a married couple, folklorists and translators Nora and Andrew Lang, with most of the work done to compile them completed by Nora, also known as Leonora Blanche Alleyne.Assembled and published in 12 colour-coded "Fairy Books," the corpus the Langs put together included 798 fairy tales from across cultures, many of which had never before been translated into English.They were amongst the most influential books of their time, changing the course of children's literature - although they're hardly just for children, and often deal with quite challenging concepts.Today, purchasing a complete set of the Lang Fairy Books in good condition costs over £4,000 ($5,000+).Thankfully, the collections are all out of copyright, meaning that we can now tell these stories, in podcast form, many for the first time, and share them with a global audience, for free.Our plan is to release the stories between main series of Three Ravens, performing them straight (though with plenty of silly voices) letting the tales speak for themselves in all their madcap, sharp-edged, often quite bizarre glory.The only edits we have made are to amend some culturally-insensitive epithets, which typically pertain to ethnicity, with any such edits made by Eleanor Conlon.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.

From eerie cradle-switching fairies to the tragic murder of Bridget Cleary, changeling legends have haunted folklore for centuries. In this episode, we explore the chilling mythology behind these tales—and the real-world horrors that occurred when belief blurred with brutality. Are changelings just fairy tales… or something far darker?We're telling that story tonight

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: An Unforgettable Discovery: Secrets of Balaton's Shore Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-07-14-22-34-02-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A Balaton nyári napja ragyogóan csillogott a vízen.En: The summer sun over Balaton sparkled brilliantly on the water.Hu: János, kezében egy könyvvel, a part mellett sétálgatott.En: János, with a book in his hand, strolled along the shore.Hu: Balatonföldvár nyugodt volt és szélcsendes.En: Balatonföldvár was tranquil and windless.Hu: János most egy kis kalandra vágyott.En: János yearned for a little adventure.Hu: Hirtelen valami fura dologra lett figyelmes a parton.En: Suddenly, he noticed something strange on the shore.Hu: Egy üvegpalack feküdt a homokban. Benne egy összetekert papír.En: A glass bottle lay in the sand, containing a rolled-up paper.Hu: Kihúzta, kíváncsiságtól égve.En: He pulled it out, burning with curiosity.Hu: A papír egy rejtélyes üzenetet tartalmazott: „A titkot a régi fa őrzi. A múlt kincsei közé vezet.”En: The paper contained a mysterious message: "The secret is guarded by the old tree. It leads among the treasures of the past."Hu: János tudta, hogy valahol a tó környékén régi fa áll, amiről a helyiek legendákat meséltek.En: János knew that somewhere around the lake stood an old tree about which locals told legends.Hu: Az üzenet izgalmat hozott a hétköznapjaiba.En: The message brought excitement to his everyday life.Hu: Aznap este találkozott Zsuzsával, gyermekkori barátjával, aki szintén a tó mellett töltötte a nyarat.En: That evening, he met with Zsuzsa, his childhood friend who also spent the summer by the lake.Hu: „Zsuzsa, találtam valamit!” - kezdte János izgatottan, miközben megmutatta az üveget és az üzenetet.En: "Zsuzsa, I found something!" János started excitedly, showing her the bottle and the message.Hu: Zsuzsa egyből belelkesedett. „Gábor biztosan tud segíteni” - javasolta.En: Zsuzsa immediately got enthusiastic. "Gábor could surely help" she suggested.Hu: Gábor, a helyi történész, jól ismerte a környék legendáit.En: Gábor, the local historian, was well acquainted with the area's legends.Hu: Másnap reggel együtt keresték fel.En: They visited him together the next morning.Hu: Gábor nagy érdeklődéssel vizsgálta az üzenetet. „Van itt egy régi fa nem messze. Az emberek azt suttogják, hogy alatta valami különleges rejtőzik.”En: Gábor examined the message with great interest. "There's an old tree not far from here. People whisper that something special is hidden beneath it."Hu: Elhatározták, hogy követik a nyomokat.En: They decided to follow the clues.Hu: Egy forró, napos napon elindultak a part mentén.En: On a hot, sunny day, they set off along the shore.Hu: Hosszú sétát tettek a fák alatt, míg elértek egy hatalmas, öreg fához, amit a helyiek csak „a bölcs öreg” néven emlegettek.En: They took a long walk beneath the trees until they reached a huge, ancient tree, which the locals referred to as "the wise old one."Hu: Néhány órás kutatás után János hirtelen fedezett fel valami furcsát a fa tövében.En: After a few hours of searching, János suddenly discovered something strange at the base of the tree.Hu: Egy kis üreget találtak, ami egy titkos barlang bejáratára vezetett.En: They found a small cavity that led to the entrance of a secret cave.Hu: A barlangban régi tárgyak, aranyékszerek és antik tárgyak rejtőztek.En: Inside the cave, old items, gold jewelry, and antique objects were hidden.Hu: Meséltek a múlt dicsőségéről.En: They spoke of the glory of the past.Hu: János, Zsuzsa és Gábor alig hittek a szemüknek.En: János, Zsuzsa, and Gábor could hardly believe their eyes.Hu: Tudták, hogy egy különleges felfedezést tettek.En: They knew they had made a special discovery.Hu: János döntött.En: János decided.Hu: A kincs történelmi értékkel bír, így meg kell osztani a világgal.En: The treasure had historical value, and thus it should be shared with the world.Hu: Visszatértek a városba, és értesítették a helyi múzeumot.En: They returned to the town and notified the local museum.Hu: A kincs így megőrzésre került, és a múzeumban helyet kapott.En: The treasure was thus preserved and given a place in the museum.Hu: János nem tartott meg semmit.En: János kept nothing for himself.Hu: A tudás és a felfedezés öröme kielégítés volt számára.En: The joy of knowledge and discovery was reward enough for him.Hu: A nap végén, amikor a naplemente bearanyozta a Balaton vizét, János úgy érezte, hogy megtalálta, amit keresett.En: At the end of the day, as the sunset gilded the waters of Balaton, János felt he had found what he was looking for.Hu: Az élet tele van titkokkal és kalandokkal.En: Life is full of secrets and adventures.Hu: Csak bátorság kell, hogy keresztülvágjunk rajtuk.En: All it takes is the courage to cut through them.Hu: Az út vége felé János új módon nézett a környezetére, tisztelettel és csodálattal.En: By the end of the journey, János viewed his surroundings in a new light, with respect and wonder.

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 124 "Brinton Lodge"   This week we have our latest edition to our unofficial "Haunted taverns of Pennsylvania" series. The Brinton Lodge has an impressive history regarding both its context in local affairs and as a seasoned paranormal hotspot. When you find a place like this that checks so many of the typical boxes, does that signal that it is legitimately haunted, or that it's merely collected every trope our collective consciousness can throw at it?    If you have a story you'd like to share, please reach out to us on Instagram, Youtube or TheGhostFurnacePodcast@gmail.com

Feel that sizzling summer heat? Well, it might just be blowing off today's Lang Fairy Tale, Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp. Fair warning though, it's not all that much like the Disney version. For example, there are two evil sorcerers out to undo Aladdin in this telling. Plus he's a Peeping Tom who seems to get his mother to do everything for him.And what's all the madness about diamond-encrusted windows?!?If you are unfamiliar with the Lang Fairy Tales, these seminal collections were assembled between 1889 and 1913 by a married couple, folklorists and translators Nora and Andrew Lang, with most of the work done to compile them completed by Nora, also known as Leonora Blanche Alleyne.Assembled and published in 12 colour-coded "Fairy Books," the corpus the Langs put together included 798 fairy tales from across cultures, many of which had never before been translated into English.They were amongst the most influential books of their time, changing the course of children's literature - although they're hardly just for children, and often deal with quite challenging concepts.Today, purchasing a complete set of the Lang Fairy Books in good condition costs over £4,000 ($5,000+).Thankfully, the collections are all out of copyright, meaning that we can now tell these stories, in podcast form, many for the first time, and share them with a global audience, for free.Our plan is to release the stories between main series of Three Ravens, performing them straight (though with plenty of silly voices) letting the tales speak for themselves in all their madcap, sharp-edged, often quite bizarre glory.The only edits we have made are to amend some culturally-insensitive epithets, which typically pertain to ethnicity, with any such edits made by Eleanor Conlon.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/threeravenspodcast Hosted on Acast.

Badlands National Park in South Dakota is known for its harsh terrain, ancient fossils, and striking rock formations — but it also has a darker side. For generations, visitors and locals have reported eerie experiences: unexplained lights, voices on the wind, and sightings of a ghostly woman said to cry out across the plains. Known as the “Badlands Banshee,” her wail is believed to be a warning — or a lure. Native American legends and settler stories point to the land as a place of spiritual power, mystery, and unrest. In this episode, we uncover the haunting folklore of one of America's most desolate national parks.OBSCURATA - Apple Spotify AmazonThe 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://moonmausoleum.com/the-hauntings-of-amy-robsart-in-wychwood-forest/https://www.historyhit.com/the-most-haunted-forests-in-the-uk/https://www.businessinsider.com/haunted-forests-around-the-world-2018-10https://connectparanormal.tumblr.com/post/640829278761328640/ghosts-of-the-wychwood-forestThanks so much for listening, and we'll catch up with you again on tomorrow.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.

In this beautifully earthy conversation, I'm joined by author and word witch Sarah Robinson, whose book The Witch and the Wildwood has helped so many of us reconnect with the magic of place, myth, and the wild. Together we journey through the roots of her writing path — from movement and ritual with Yoga for Witches to ancestral land and sacred story. We explore the evolution of her books, the untamed call of the wildwood, and how witches across folklore, history, and landscape are reawakening through our modern lives. Sarah shares how she listens to the land and some powerful folklore she unearthed along the way. Whether you live in the countryside or the city, this episode will remind you that the land has a voice — and that witchcraft can be a way of walking with it. Topics we explore - How Yoga for Witches gave rise to Wildwood and Witch Country The magic of place-based spirituality — and how to practice it in daily life Witch archetypes across folklore, superstition and sacred land Re-enchantment and the return of the British witch Writing as a magical practice and act of devotion How to connect with land spirits, even in urban spaces A lesser-known piece of folklore that gave Sarah goosebumps Find Sarah here - https://www.instagram.com/yogaforwitches/?hl=en

Why do people report ghostly knights, phantom horses and spectral visions during the full moon in this Welsh beauty spot? What ancient force still lingers atop Cefn Bryn?  On this episode, Mark journeys to the windswept heights of Gower during the summer solstice to investigate one of Wales's oldest and most mysterious sites — a place steeped in druidic ritual, pagan legend, and haunting lore. Is this neolithic tomb truly connected to King Arthur? Did Merlin himself walk these lands? And what really happens at midnight when the capstone stirs and the spirits rise? From love-seeking rituals involving ghostly cakes, to tales of Dylan Thomas invoking the dead, this is one eerie pilgrimage you won't forget.

Today's Lang Fairy Tale telling is The White Cat - a fairly twisted little story about a Prince falling in love with a feline, a Dad who doesn't want to give his sons their dues, and little tiny things of great value, hidden in other tiny things.
