Hey tricksters! On this episode we ask a generations old question... Are we alone in the universe? Take the deep plunge into deep space as we discuss the long history of "star people", ancient and powerful spirits who have visited us for eons, who have only recently been stripped of their deified position and been demoted into the modern, Hollywood movie alien. No, we aren't talking about E.T.! This episode delves much deeper than that. Join us as we laugh, creep ourselves out, and share maybe a little too much about ourselves. 

Happy Monday Tricksters! This week we cover a tale with two tragedies- the murder of a child and a man who's fate was sealed the day he was wrongly accused. Join us as we discuss the complexities of race and antiblackness prevalent across Latin America and how they swayed a whole nations' perspective to guilty on a man who's innocence was clear as day. 

The last thing you'd ever want to come across on your way home is a manananggaal. This fearsome spirit is said to use its long tongue to quench on your blood- but that's not even it's most terrifying feature. Go ahead and listen if you'd like- but be warned, this spirit's origins are a little deeper than you'd think.

Have you ever had a bad day after cutting someone off in traffic, or maybe you were late and didn’t hold the elevator, maybe you left a nasty comment, maybe you didn’t wear mask, and maybe you didn’t tip your delivery guy, and you think these things can’t be related, surely karma has bigger things to worry about. And you might be right, but after our story today you're going to wish your bad day might have just been karma, because if not….the Tokoloshe might have its jaws on your life.
