Creature Feature 96- Back to the Beginning
Welcome to What The Heck's Creature Feature! These episodes release on Saturdays and look at folklore and cryptids from around the world! The same academic style is applied to these episodes, but they look at history and eyewitness reports before describing the creature of the week! A lot of the time, theories are a bit more scarce than the main episodes, but the content is still just as interesting.
This week we're looking at Barghest. Way back in Creature Feature 3, I covered Black Shuck. This creature wasn't the only one of its kind, if we look at northern English folklore. They appear all over the place, and are seen as an omen of death. What is a Barghest? Why are they so feared? How can we escape them? Listen in to find out!
