CW: stalking, kidnapping, curses, religion.

Sara and Tyler are back at it! We could rename our show to Cryptids & Mystics & Heated Rivalry but instead we'll save that conversation for the end of the show for all the skippers. First Sara brings us the meaning of the iconic evil eye and related imagery. We wanna say boots! but instead we'll say sandals! Next, Tyler brings us the spooky lore of Hachishakusama; the will they/won't they of the cryptid world. Sara's sources are Wikipedia.org, the BBC, myjewishlearning.com, and PEW Research. Tyler's sources are Freaky Folklore: Terrifying Tales of the World's Most Elusive Monsters and Enigmatic Cryptids by Carman Carrion along with the companion podcast, medium.com, and a YouTube video by Snarled.
