This Halloween, The Parallax Podcast takes a sinister detour into the folklore of childhood’s most innocent visitor—the Tooth Fairy. But beneath the glittering coins and tiny treasures lies a much darker history, one stained with blood and bone collecting.

Karisa unearths the Tooth Fairy’s origins, tracing her path from European bogeymen who collected children’s teeth for dark magic to the Nordic nomads who wore necklaces made from children's teeth.

Then, Willow recounts a real-life horror: the murder of Helle Crafts, whose body was never found—only a single crown of her tooth, left behind like a grotesque offering in the winter snow.

With eerie tales, historical nightmares, and a dash of Halloween dread, this episode will make you think twice before slipping a tooth under your pillow. After all… what takes them, might not give back.
