Hold your horses for the latest episode of Boggart and Banshee. Simon and Chris gallop headlong into the world of horse spirits with headless ponies, phantom hoofbeats, and equine shape-changers, including the mischievous colt-pixie and the dread shag foal. But we're not just horsing around with were-horses. There are also serious questions to add to the neigh-rative. Why are spectral horses so often heard, but not seen? Why are trickster spirits frequently spotted in equine form? And why, on earth, do horse spirits on both sides of the Atlantic insist on coming into houses and up the stairs? A source book has been published for this epiosde:  S. R. Young, Haunting Horses: Equine Ghosts, Portents and Shapechangers from Britain, Ireland and World Folklore

In today's giant of an episode, we delve into the classic tale of Bluebeard's Bride. We cover three different versions of the story, including La Barbe Bleue from France, Knight Goldbeard from Switzerland, and Zerendac and Abu Freywar from Palestine. We also discuss how Bluebeard has influenced the modern-day horror genre, how its message is still very applicable to this day, and Lizzie also blows Zoe's mind by revealing specific works that were inspired by the tale. For more information about today's episode, go to mytholadies.com. Our cover art is by Helena Cailleaux. You can find her and more of her work on Instagram @helena.cailleaux.illustratrice.

This episode of A Table of Fables takes us into World Folklore with a story from that most classic Jamaican trickster, Anansi.  This is the story of how Anansi first lost his hair and it has a significance for anyone who has ever been tempted to bend and twist the truth to their advantage....that is to say every one of us!   Before the story, Arjan writes in to point out that James Funnyhat is not very observant and Dante tricks James into singing the alphabet with his fingers in his mouth....yikes!   If you love the show, please spread the word and consider donating at www.jamesfunnyhat.com

Part A of our classification of the fairies of the british isles focussed on the friendlier fairies - the brownies, bwcas, bwbachs, robin goodfellow and the origin of Shakespeare’s Puck, the origin of JK Rowling’s Dobby, and we tried to make sense of the differences between piskies and pixies, some of which are helpful friends and some who enjoy tormenting people by leading them into peat bogs at night.Today we will be discussing three further categories of fairies - solitary fairies, trooping fairies and mining fairies.https://twitter.com/godsandgoblinsSources:'The Fairies in Tradition and Literature' by Katharine Mary Briggs'A Treasury of British Folklore: Maypoles, Mandrakes and Mistletoe' by Dee Dee Chainey'Strange and Secret Peoples: Fairies and Victorian Consciousness' by Carole G.

So far we’ve only talked about fairies in general, the common fairy. There are all sorts of fairies that inhabit the British Isles though - and once again they are wildly varied. Some are hideous, some are radiant; some vicious, some kind, some small, some… less small. The murderous little man chasing you down in our opening story (well done for taking him down btw, great work) bears little similarity to a member of the Tuatha de Danann and yet they are all part of the same category of mythical folk. In this episode we’ll be describing some of the different types of fairy in British folklore, their similarities and differences depending on region and figuring out the differences between the words that we use as synonyms - elf, fairy, pixie etcWe will be covering some of the most common types of household or guardian fairies, as well as some of the more sociable trooping fairies. So, what’s the difference between a pixie, a piskie and a pigsey? A brownie and a boobach? And how do their definitions in contemporary usage & fiction differ from the older records?Sources:'The Fairies in Tradition and Literature' by Katharine Mary Briggs'A Treasury of British Folklore: Maypoles, Mandrakes and Mistletoe' by Dee Dee Chainey'Strange and Secret Peoples: Fairies and Victorian Consciousness' by Carole G.

What do Harry Potter and hillbilly stories have in common? Quite a lot, actually. To the point where it becomes really suspicious, almost like JK Rowling straight up stole plot elements from these tales, like: a witch ball making a family fart themselves to death, or a person hiding under the stairs trying not to be boiled and eaten. In episode 20 of "What the Folklore?" we read a collection of Hillbilly stories to commemorate the Fourth of July. Suggested talking points: hillbilly ponzi scheme, Jack Honey, attorney at law, the Doc Holler Guarantee, cannibal intermediary, hillbilly brown note witch, Jasmine pooping herself to death, Sk8ter boi fart percentages, donkey senators of the state of hillbilly, the severed hand in Wall-E, ent lilac murderer, paternity test nanobots, Weasley Chemtrails, the Boston Harry Potter Party If you like our show, find us online to help spread the word!
