I hope I find you well today and enjoying a strong stomach because we are looking at a particularly icky member of the Good People. It’s hard to imagine anyone nominating this parasitic creature as a favourite but it sure is interesting, and a good one to know how to avoid.

The Joint Eater, also known as the Alp Luachra, is a small newt-like creature which really likes Humans, from the inside-out…

In this episode I share one extraordinary tale of an attack by a Joint Eater. We discover just how disgusting this creature can be, how easily it can catch a Human host and most importantly, how to rid yourself of one (and avoid them altogether!).

PATREON

To celebrate 2 years of our Podcast (yay! did someone say cake?...), I am delighted to launch ‘Encounters with the Good People’ Patreon. If you enjoy my podcast and videos, please consider becoming a Patron, and supporting me on Patreon.


There are 4 levels or tiers within our Patreon, the first begins at only $3 per month and each level offers additional benefits and content. These range from:

having your name included in our YouTube videos,
having access to exclusive Patreon-only videos,
to receiving handpicked gifts from our online store or e-books, all Faerie related of course.

Did you know that many of the most famous and popular tales began as dark, cautionary tales? Our Patreon exclusive videos will lean toward the darker side of Folk and Faerie tales, this allows us to explore some of the original tales which have been watered-down over time to be kid-friendly.

Please visit my Patreon page and take a look around.

My YouTube Channel

Encounters with the Good People has launched two new series of YouTube videos: 'Folk Tales & Faerie Tales' and 'YouTube Shorts'.

Relax and put your feet up (or lay your head down...) as I read well-known and lesser-known Folk Tales & Faerie Tales in a soft, gentle voice accompanied by soothing and delightful images. Sure to bring a sense of pleasant calm to the mind and spirit, these videos are suitable for everyone in the family to enjoy with a cuppa or as a bedtime story. To request a Folk Tale or Faerie Tale you would like Kitty to...
