Podcasts about Folklore

Kevin O'Shea, host of Supernatural Japan, joins us for a fascinating look at how the paranormal is woven into everyday life in Japanese culture. Note: If you are watching the video version, you may notice some brief video glitches on our guest's side at the very beginning of this interview. His audio is clear throughout, and the video stabilizes eventually. Thanks for sticking with us. Kevin shares how his journey from folklore-loving Canadian to longtime resident of Japan opened his eyes to a worldview where spirits, ancestors, and unseen forces are not fringe ideas but part of the social fabric. From Shinto beliefs and nature spirits to seasonal traditions surrounding the dead, this conversation explores how a technologically advanced society has held onto deeply rooted supernatural traditions.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWOEvery town has its stories.A ghost that lingers in a cemetery. A vanishing hitchhiker who never makes it home. A creature said to roam the woods or rise from a nearby swamp. These tales are passed down like warnings—shared late at night, repeated with nervous laughter, and rarely questioned. But where do they come from, and how much truth hides beneath the fear?Today on The Grave Talks, we sit down with Micah Campbell, author of Urban Legends, Ghost Stories and Folklore, for a deep conversation about the stories that refuse to fade. Micah explores the origins of urban legends, ghost lore, and folklore, examining how real encounters, cultural memory, and unexplained phenomena shape the myths we tell.Are these stories simple cautionary tales—or distorted accounts of something very real? And if we pulled back the curtain completely, would we actually want to know what's been lurking just beyond the firelight all along?#TheGraveTalks #UrbanLegends #Folklore #Cryptozoology #GhostStories #ParanormalPodcast #Unexplained #MonsterLore #TrueMysteries #HauntedHistory Love real ghost stories?

To conclude our readings from the Blue Fairy Book, we warmly present the second part of a trilogy of episodes retelling 'A Voyage to Lilliput.Adapted from the first book of Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift, in this one Gulliver is searched and measured by servants of the Lilliputian Emperor, all before it is concluded that he may do this strange nation service.Specifically, as a war machine in Lilliput's battles against the 'Big-Endians' of Blefuscu...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?REGISTER FOR THE TALES OF SOUTHERN ENGLAND TOURProud members of the Dark Cast Network.Visit our website Join our Patreon Social media channels and sponsors Hosted on Acast.

The Newcastle Castle occupies a strange position in the city centre. So strange that some people can't believe we have a castle in town at all! Various buildings have stood on the site for centuries, dating back to the Romans and their Pons Aelius fort. Robert Curthose, the eldest son of William the Conqueror, originally founded Newcastle Castle in 1080. This early castle was made from wood, and builders rebuilt the castle in stone between 1168 and 1178. It has been a castle, a prison, a beer cellar and Civil War stronghold. Now, it's a visitor attraction, and one that I highly recommend seeing if you can. But as with any English castle, stories both sad and strange abound within Newcastle Castle. Let's examine three of its legends as part of our exploration of folklore found within cities in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore.

Season 3: Episode 7Step into the haunted woods of Sleepy Hollow with me as I'm joined by Nick Lawyer, artist and creator of the Sleepy Hollow Tarot Deck—a beloved deck that beautifully weaves classic American folklore with traditional tarot symbolism.In this episode, we explore Nick's lifelong love of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, his background as a professional stained-glass artist, and how a college art project unexpectedly evolved into a fully published tarot deck now sold in Sleepy Hollow itself.We talk about translating the Fool's Journey through Ichabod Crane, the Headless Horseman as Death, colonial-era symbolism in the Minor Arcana, and the meticulous historical research behind the deck. Nick also shares how he approached tarot as a non-practicing reader, navigating creativity, faith, folklore, and intention.Plus, Nick gives us a sneak peek into his next project—a Hex & the City–inspired tarot deck—and talks about life as a full-time artist, Halloween superfan, and maker of truly unforgettable spooky art.This episode is a love letter to storytelling, tradition, and the magic that happens when art chooses you.

January 20th sits on the calendar like a date with unfinished business. It's the day America permanently changed how presidents leave office, the anniversary of a week when an entire state armed itself against something that left impossible tracks in the snow, and the exact moment a foreign government executed one of the most precisely timed acts of political spite ever recorded. Three stories. One date. None of them end quite the way you'd expect.EPISODE PAGE: https://WeirdDarkness.com/MWD20260120NOTE: Some of this content may have been created with assistance from AI tools, but it has been reviewed, edited, narrated, produced, and approved by Darren Marlar, creator and host of Weird Darkness — who, despite popular conspiracy theories, is NOT an AI voice.WeirdDarkness® is a registered trademark.

For centuries, sailors crossing The Minch have spoken of an unnatural calm that comes before sudden, violent storms. According to Hebridean folklore, these tempests are raised by the Blue Men, blue-skinned sea beings who rise from the depths to challenge ship captains in rhyming verse. Those who fail the challenge are said to be dragged beneath the waves, their ships lost to the strait forever.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://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_men_of_the_Minchhttps://scotlands-stories.com/blue-men-of-the-minch/Thanks 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.

Producer and filmmaker Jared McGilliard (Nomadica Films) joins Tinfoil Tales to talk about bringing MonsterQuest back and what it took to reboot a show that helped shape modern cryptid media. Jared shares how the new season was built, why they focused on credible first person witnesses, and how they tried to keep the tone objective without turning encounters into cheap sensationalism. They also get into patterns across sightings, why a body is still the line science demands, how AI complicates evidence, and Jared's own unexplained experience in the Pacific Northwest that still sticks with him.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tinfoil-tales--6147818/support. Want to be a Guest? If you have a paranormal encounter, conspiracy theory, or unexplained story to share, we'd love to hear from you!

Episode 97 In this first episode of our two-part series, we go to Midland, Texas, where a fatal house fire claimed the lives of Marcia Pool and two children, Brady and Kristin. In the aftermath, investigators concluded the blaze was intentionally set — and they pointed to one man: Butch Martin. The state built its theory around burn patterns, accelerant findings, eyewitness accounts, and interpretations of fire behavior that were considered reliable at the time, but would later come under scrutiny as fire folklore. Claims about liquid accelerants, pour patterns, and “arson indicators” formed the backbone of the prosecution's case. In Part 1, we cover: The timeline leading up to the fire How investigators interpreted burn patterns and damage The prosecution's theory of how and why the fire was set Eyewitness testimony that shaped the narrative The role accelerant testing played in the case This episode focuses on the fire itself and the state's case. It sets the stage for a larger discussion about how outdated investigative practices — including the interpretation of burn patterns during flashover and the assumed meaning of “pour patterns” — contributed to arson convictions during this era. Next week in Part 2, we take a critical look at the defense, the evolution of modern fire science, and the post-conviction efforts that challenged the original findings.

Portugal folklore turns feral in the mountain village of Podence, where the only warning is the clatter of cowbellsricocheting off stone walls. Then the Caretos burst from the dark—men (and now women and kids, too) swallowed in ragged ribbons of red, yellow, and green, faces erased behind blood-red demon masks, hips loaded with heavy bell harnesses that turn every lunge into a metallic scream. It's Carnival… but it moves like a hunt.This is Entrudo—a tradition believed to reach back to pre-Roman Celtic seasonal rites, an “entry” into the warm season after winter's darkness. Long before Lent ever claimed the calendar, this was a community ritual of mischief, rule-breaking, and purification: scare off the bad spirits, shake loose the old year, and drag spring and fertility into the streets by force of noise.Inside this episode:The first warning: cowbells in a stone alley, laughter turning predatoryAncient roots: the pagan “entry” of Entrudo and the Celtic ties that won't dieThe disguise: fringed wool suits, horned masks, and the deafening bell harnessRitual permission: three days where chaos is allowed—then paid forFire and farewell: the burning of effigies, bonfires, and Carnival's final cleansingNear-extinction and comeback: depopulation, revival, facanitos, and a tradition rebornUNESCO recognition: how Podence's “carnival demons” became world-famous without going tameCousins of the Caretos: Peliqueiros, Joaldunak, and Iberia's other bell-bearing “devils”If you ever find yourself in Podence after dark—listening to cowbells get closer—remember: the masks don't perform. They pounce.We're telling that story tonight.

PREVIEW THE FOLKLORE OF THE ONLY A MAN STORY Colleague Nathaniel Philbrick. Nathaniel Philbrickdiscusses a recurring oral tradition where Washington, touring the country, tells awestruck observers that despite his title, he is "only a man."

Walk along Stowell Street in Newcastle upon Tyne and turn into St Andrew's Street, and you might notice a plaque on the wall. It marks the site of the house where Tyneside bard Joe Wilson was born - though it's unclear how many people know who Joe Wilson is. There was a resurgence of interest in the 19th-century songwriter a few years ago, particularly thanks to the musical play, The Great Joe Wilson, that toured the north east in 2018. It was a rousing, whistle-stop tour of the bard's short life and songs. But who was he, and why is he important if we're looking at a city through a folklore lens?

This week on I've Been Meaning to Listen to That, we review Bruce Springsteen's NEBRASKA with special guest KEVIN T. PORTER! We ponder why Bruce would sanction "Deliver Me From Nowhere" while he is still alive, which song from NEBRASKA Obama used for his presidential campaign, which artist should do their own version of Nebraska (the answer may surprise you!), whether Dolly Parton's husband Carl was real, and more!

We have one of the most famous English fairy tales of them all for you today: Jack The Giant Killer!Does make you wonder though whether Jack is really a good guy, or a big game hunter. For further discussion of the topic, perhaps listen to Local Legends #3 about Cornwall with Mike O'Connor. Stream it here or simply search for it on your podcast app!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?REGISTER FOR THE TALES OF SOUTHERN ENGLAND TOURProud members of the Dark Cast Network.Visit our website Join our Patreon Social media channels and sponsors Hosted on Acast.

In this explosive episode of Cryptid Warfare Podcast, we dive headfirst into the ancient battleground where faith, scripture, and the unexplained collide. Are cryptids just folklore—or echoes of real creatures described in the Bible? We examine biblical giants, the Nephilim, and terrifying beasts and dragons referenced throughout Scripture, from Genesis to Revelation. Could these ancient texts be documenting real entities, misunderstood creatures, or spiritual beings that once walked the earth? Why do cultures across the world share eerily similar accounts of massive beasts, fire-breathing dragons, and hybrid creatures? From Leviathan and Behemoth to fallen watchers and end-times prophecy, this episode explores:   Biblical accounts of giants and monstrous beings Dragons and serpents in Scripture and ancient history The spiritual warfare connection behind cryptids Why these beings may have been wiped out—or driven into hiding What this means for the modern world and the last days This is not just mythology… this is warfare, history, and truth-seeking at its rawest.    Hold the line. Question everything.   (Dr. Dennis Carroll is a National and Internationally Known Writer/Author and an Authority on The Occult and Folklore.

Deep Cosmopolitanism: Kutiyattam, Dynamic Tradition, and Globalizing Heritage in Kerala, India explores the extraordinary past and present of Kutiyattam Sanskrit theater, the world's oldest continuously performed theater. Recognized as India's first UNESCO intangible cultural heritage of humanity, the matrilineal temple art of Kutiyattam has been performed by men and women in Kerala, India, since the tenth century C.E. This book illustrates how Kutiyattam Sanskrit theater has encountered multiple forms of cosmopolitanism over the course of its thousand-year history. Exploring how Kutiyattam artists create meaning out of their deep past through everyday narratives and reflections, author Leah Lowthorp traces the art's cosmopolitan encounters over time, from the premodern Sanskrit cosmopolis to Muslim sultans, British colonialists, Communist politics, and UNESCO intangible cultural heritage. In so doing, Lowthorp fundamentally rethinks the notion of cosmopolitanism from a non-Western perspective with premodern roots and offers a critique of the colonialist undertones of how international heritage organizations like UNESCO conceptualize peoples and traditions around the world. Diving into an ethnographic exploration that considers Kutiyattam's multiple cosmopolitanisms over a period of one thousand years, Deep Cosmopolitanism offers a model for decolonizing modernity and challenges us to rethink what it means to be cosmopolitan, traditional, and modern in the world today. Indiana University Press generiously make this book freely available as an Open Access monograph. To read, please visit here. Leah Lowthorp is Assistant Professor of Anthropology and Folklore at the University of Oregon. She is a cultural anthropologist and a folklorist. She is editor (with Frank J. Korom) of South Asian Folklore in Transition: Crafting New Horizons (Routledge, 2019). Her email address is lowthorp@uoregon.edu. Yadong Li is an anthropologist-in-training.

When three princes all fall in love with the same princess, their father sends them out into the world to find the most wonderful curiosities...An adventure that keeps unfolding, Prince Ahmed's tale is probably the longest in the Blue Fairy Book - so we've split it into two. Part 2 will be out on Thursday!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?REGISTER FOR THE TALES OF SOUTHERN ENGLAND TOURProud members of the Dark Cast Network.Visit our website Join our Patreon Social media channels and sponsors Hosted on Acast.

Welcome back to Sasquatch Odyssey. Tonight, we conclude The Bigfoot Journals. Seven men walked out of the hidden valley in November of seventeen ninety-nine. They carried knowledge that would haunt them for the rest of their lives... and a secret they swore never to reveal.In this final installment, we follow the Stone Expedition on their three-month winter journey home. We witness the debate that consumed them... publish or protect? We hear the oath sworn at Thornton's Tavern in Richmond, where seven survivors bound themselves to silence. And we learn what became of them all.Thomas Mercer, the scientist who died bitter in eighteen twenty-six, still regretting the discovery he could never publish. Sam Walker, who returned to the mountains he loved and passed peacefully in eighteen twenty-three. Josiah Whitfield, who found peace somewhere beyond the Mississippi. Solomon Reed, who carried his grandmother's wisdom north. Jim Sutton, whose last words were about the creatures.Young Zeke Stone, forever changed by his connection with the juvenile, gone by eighteen twenty. And Elijah Stone himself... who built a cabin in the Virginia mountains and watched the forest every night for twenty-seven years. We'll read his final journal entry, written on July fourth, eighteen twenty-six. The fiftieth anniversary of American independence. The day he passed the burden to his son. The chain of keepers had begun.Then we jump forward. Two centuries forward. To Marcus Stone, a history professor who inherits his estranged father's cabin... and discovers a trunk in the cellar that changes everything. The journals. The pendant. The truth.And finally, we witness what happens when Marcus leads a small expedition into the mountains. When the creatures reveal themselves once more. When the gesture of peace is given... and returned.This is the story of secrets that span generations. Of truths too dangerous to share. Of a family that watched and waited, keeper after keeper, century after century. And somewhere in those mountains... the creatures are still watching.They've always been watching. They always will be.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.
