This week on WTFolklore, we read "The Barrel Bung", A Swedish tale about jump scares and glory holes, and we peppered in a light dusting of Satanic Panic at the end, for flavor.

This week on WTFolklore, we read The Goose Girl at the Well, A Grimm Brothers' tale that has absolutely nothing to do with any previously mentioned Goose-Women on our program. 

Apologies for any audio hiccups, we had some very strange glitches this week that I've cleaned up the best I can.

Episode 409: The Backpack of Dorian Gray

Looks like them anime boys are at it again!

Strangeknife Diaries

This week on WTFolklore, we read "Nani Daughter of Nani", A Palestinian story who's title omits a FASCINATING detail about said character. You'll have to listen in to find out for yourself.

Episode 408: A Mysterious Fellow with a Slight Cherry Scent

This week we read "The Enchanted Ring". No, not that one, the other one, from Russia. This obviously means we had to infuse it with some timely, seasonal holiday flair of our own.

Episode 407: The Think-About-What-You've-Dungeon

This week we read "The Tiger King's Gift". No, not that one, the other one, from India. We actually meet a trinity of animal kings, so we encourage you to tag yourself among them.
