 From the fields of ancient Egypt to the harvest festivals of today, scarecrows have always been more than straw and cloth. They began as humble guardians of crops, but across cultures they took on deeper meaning—symbols of fertility, protection, and sometimes even vessels of the uncanny. In this episode, we trace the scarecrow’s journey from ancient ritual object to eerie figure in folklore, literature, and horror. Why do these silent, human-shaped watchers continue to fascinate us? And why do they still make us feel both safe—and unsettled?
