So way back in Episode 6, Dean and Krysta covered the Fae and mentioned the pukwudgie in passing as it were, now, 80 episodes later; Laura, Krysta and Dean take a good look at this diminutive trickster. Living in the woods, mostly in the area called the Bridgewater Triangle these strange beings were part of the Wampanoag creation folklore...and then became creatures that bedevilled those very same people. We discuss their appearance, their behaviour, as well as several modern sightings of the creatures in question. So sit back and enjoy this episode on the odd phenomenon that is the pukwudgie!
