Hyperfixation - New Year, Old Monsters: Mythical Creatures That Haunt Fresh Beginnings
Episode 18 - New Year’s isn’t just glitter and countdowns. Around the world, it’s also a night for strange visitors, ancient omens, and creatures said to slip through the cracks of the calendar. In this episode, we dive into the mythical beings tied to New Year traditions, where they came from, and why fresh beginnings so often come wrapped in fear.
**Also we will release a historical video of the two of us that will either be cute or really cringe or maybe both, if we reach 500 followers on one platform. So please like and subscribe!
**DISCLAIMER** Please note: Erin and Danny are not experts, just two curious people who love diving into topics they find fascinating. Some details may be simplified or not 100% precise, and that’s okay. They’re here to have fun, learn along the way, and bring you with them.
