Whispers from the Ouachitas - Granny Witches, Yarb Doctors & the Old Mountain Ways 01.06.2026 20мин

A little something different this week. Carman Carrion just got back from four days in a cabin on the Ouachita River near Hot Springs, Arkansas—and she didn't come home empty-handed. In this special shorter episode, there are no dramatized retellings. No fictional reenactments. Just a folklore field report from the deep hollers of the Ouachita Mountains, told the way it might've been told on a porch a hundred years ago. Pull up a chair and listen in as Carman shares what she learned about the old mountain ways—the folk magic, healing traditions, and dark whispers that have lived in these ancient hills for generations: 🌿 The Granny Witches who could "blow fire" out of a burn with a whispered verse 🌱 The Yarb Doctors who knew which roots healed and which roots killed 🦉 Death omens, haints, and the signs the mountains use to warn the living 🌙 Planting by the moon, persimmon seeds, and the woolly worm's winter forecast 👁️ The Wampus Cat, the Snawfus, the Hidebehind, and the ghost lights that still float through the trees 🏚️ Why old porches were painted "haint blue"—and what it was meant to keep out This is the folk practice the academics call Ozark and Appalachian folk magic. The locals just called it the way things were done. Most of it is fading now. But some of it… some of it is still very much alive. So pour yourself something warm, settle in, and let the mountains whisper.

Nure-onna - The Snake Woman Who Steals Children 25.05.2026 34мин

Deep in Japanese coastal folklore lurks the Nure-onna, a terrifying yokai that appears as a beautiful woman in a white kimono—until she reveals her serpentine lower body. This "wet woman" haunts beaches, rivers, and tide pools, using an enchanted baby bundle to trap victims or stealing real infants from their mothers. Discover the chilling legend of a predator that weaponizes maternal instinct, the regional variations from Shimane to Niigata, her partnership with the ox-demon Ushi-oni, and why this ancient warning about stranger danger remains relevant today. #Freaky Folklore #Nureonna #JapaneseYokai #CoastalLegends #SnakeWoman #JapaneseFolklore #Yokai #BabyStealer #JapaneseHorror #UrbanLegends #Mythology #CreepyTales #HorrorPodcast #Folklore #JapaneseMyths #SupernaturalCreatures #WetWoman #ShimanePrefecture #MonsterLegends #Eeriecast EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror ________________________________________ SUPPORT THE SHOW: Patreon (Ad-Free + Bonus Content): https://www.patreon.com/c/CarmanCarrion Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion ________________________________________ CONNECT WITH CARMAN: Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrion Twitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/ ________________________________________ SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQY iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184 Your support helps bring you more terrifying tales. ________________________________________ DISCOVER MORE HORROR: http://eeriecast.com/ https://www.carman-carrion.com/ ________________________________________ THE CRYPT SHOP: https://the-crypt-shop-2.myshopify.com/ ________________________________________ MUSIC CREDITS: Music and sound effects provided by: CO.AG, Myuu, Jinglepunks, Epidemic Sound, Kevin MacLeod, Dark Music, and Soundstripe.

Incubus - The Medieval Sex Demon Still Haunting Bedrooms 18.05.2026 27мин

The male demon that visits women in their dreams, stealing more than just sleep. Handsome, seductive, and deadly—the Incubus is the dark counterpart to the Succubus, and his victims wake up exhausted, violated, and sometimes pregnant with something that shouldn't exist. #Incubus #Succubus #DemonLover #Cambion #Merlin #MedievalDemonology #SexDemon #FreakyFolklore #DarkFolklore #ChristianDemonology #MalleusMaleficarum #WitchTrials #SupernaturalSeduction #DemonicPregnancy #NightDemon #ForbiddenDesire #ParanormalFolklore #DemonMythology #Mythology #HorrorPodcast #FolklorePodcast #AncientDemons #MedievalLegends EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror ________________________________________ SUPPORT THE SHOW: Patreon (Ad-Free + Bonus Content): https://www.patreon.com/c/CarmanCarrion Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion ________________________________________ CONNECT WITH CARMAN: Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrion Twitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/ ________________________________________ SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQY iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184 Your support helps bring you more terrifying tales. ________________________________________ DISCOVER MORE HORROR: http://eeriecast.com/ https://www.carman-carrion.com/ ________________________________________ THE CRYPT SHOP: https://the-crypt-shop-2.myshopify.com/ ________________________________________ MUSIC CREDITS: Music and sound effects provided by: CO.AG, Myuu, Jinglepunks, Epidemic Sound, Kevin MacLeod, Dark Music, and Soundstripe.

Mongolian Death Worm - The Acid-Spitting Worm That Hunts Beneath the Gobi Deser 11.05.2026 34мин

The Gobi Desert holds a secret that has terrified Mongolian herders for centuries: the Olgoi-Khorkhoi, or Mongolian Death Worm. This two-to-five-foot creature allegedly kills from a distance—spitting corrosive acid that melts flesh in seconds and discharging electricity through the sand. No eyes. No legs. Just a thick, blood-red worm that surfaces when the ground gets hot and leaves nothing but blackened corpses and stained sand in its wake. Join me as we explore one of cryptozoology's most persistent mysteries, where the line between folklore and fatal reality gets buried in the sand.

Père Malfait – The Moss-Covered Demon That Crushes You in Its Arms 04.05.2026 39мин

Deep in the Louisiana bayou, where Spanish moss hangs like funeral shrouds and cypress trees rise from black water, Cajun parents have been warning their children for generations: don't stay out after dark, don't wander too far from home, and never, ever ignore the call to come inside. Because if you do, Père Malfait might find you. And when this moss-covered demon wraps its arms around you in a crushing bear hug, there's no escape—just the slow, agonizing pressure as your ribs crack, your lungs collapse, and the swamp claims another victim. #FreakyFolklore #PèreMalfait #CajunFolklore #LouisianaBayou #SpanishMoss #CajunBoogeyman #SwampLegends #FolklorePodcast #CreepyTales #SouthernGothic #BayouHorror 🎧 EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror 💀 SUPPORT THE SHOW: Patreon (Ad-Free + Bonus Content): https://www.patreon.com/c/CarmanCarrion Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion 🔗 CONNECT WITH CARMAN: Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrion Twitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/ ⭐ SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQY iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184 Your support helps bring you more terrifying tales. 🌑 DISCOVER MORE HORROR: http://eeriecast.com/ https://www.carman-carrion.com/ 🛒 THE CRYPT SHOP: https://the-crypt-shop-2.myshopify.com/ 🎼 MUSIC CREDITS: Music and sound effects provided by: CO.AG, Myuu, Jinglepunks, Epidemic Sound, Kevin MacLeod, Dark Music, and Soundstripe.

Aufhocker – The Leaping Demon That Crushes Your Back 27.04.2026 30мин

In the dark forests and lonely roads of Germany, travelers learned to fear something worse than bandits or wild animals. The Aufhocker didn't rob you or tear you apart—it jumped onto your back and stayed there, growing heavier with every step you took. This wasn't a creature you could fight or shake off. Once it mounted you, your only hope was to reach sanctuary before the crushing weight broke your spine, drove you to madness, or forced you to your knees where you'd die slowly under an invisible burden. German folklore is filled with practical monsters—creatures that punish specific transgressions or haunt particular locations. The Aufhocker is different. It doesn't care about your morals or your past. It just waits in the darkness, and when you pass by, it leaps. And once it's on your back, every step becomes a battle between your will to survive and the inexorable weight that wants to crush you into the earth. freakyfolklore.com carman-carrion.com #Aufhrocker #GermanFolklore #FreakyFolklore #GermanMyths #LeapingDemon #DarkForests #EuropeanFolklore #Huckepack #GermanLegends #ForestDemons #Folklore #CrushingWeight EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://carmanscrypt.buzzsprout.com Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://carmancarrion.buzzsprout.com Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror SUPPORT THE SHOW: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/CarmanCarrion Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion CONNECT WITH CARMAN: Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrion Twitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/ SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQY iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184 Your support helps bring you more terrifying tales!

Vetala – The Corpse-Possessing Spirits of Hindu Folklore 20.04.2026 34мин

In the cremation grounds outside ancient Indian cities, where funeral pyres burned and the boundary between life and death grew thin, something waited in the darkness. The Vetala weren't mindless undead stumbling through graveyards—they were intelligent spirits that possessed corpses, animating dead flesh with terrible purpose. #Vetala #HinduFolklore #FreakyFolklore #IndianMythology #BuddhistFolklore #SanskritLegends #CremationGrounds #UndeadSpirits #IndianGhosts #CorpsePossession #Folklore #VetalaLegend #BaitalPachisi #HinduMyths #AncientIndia #SpiritPossession #Cremation #SanskritStories #IndianLegends #FolklorePodcast #HorrorFolklore #DarkFolklore #SupernaturalIndia #TantricLore #HinduDemons #CreepyLegends 🎧 EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror ________________________________________ 💀 SUPPORT THE SHOW: Patreon (Ad-Free + Bonus Content): https://www.patreon.com/c/CarmanCarrion Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion ________________________________________ 🔗 CONNECT WITH CARMAN: Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrion Twitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/ ________________________________________ ⭐ SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQY iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184 Your support helps bring you more terrifying tales. ________________________________________ 🌑 DISCOVER MORE HORROR: http://eeriecast.com/ https://www.carman-carrion.com/ ________________________________________ 🛒 THE CRYPT SHOP: https://the-crypt-shop-2.myshopify.com/ ________________________________________ 🎼 MUSIC CREDITS: Music and sound effects provided by: CO.AG, Myuu, Jinglepunks, Epidemic Sound, Kevin MacLeod, Dark Music, and Soundstripe.

The Serbian Dancing Lady – Internet Horror Made Flesh 13.04.2026 34мин

In the summer of 2019, videos started appearing on TikTok that made viewers sleep with the lights on. A woman in a white dress, dancing alone on empty streets. Nothing that unusual—except her movements were wrong. Joints bending at angles that made your stomach turn, limbs jerking like a marionette with cut strings, bare feet slapping pavement with mechanical violence. The videos spread like wildfire, spawning thousands of recreations, alleged sightings, and one of the internet's most disturbing urban legends: the Serbian Dancing Lady. Unlike most creepypasta that admits its fictional origins, this legend lives in an uncomfortable space between digital folklore and street-level terror. People in Belgrade claim to have seen her. Videos purport to show real encounters. And buried in the comment sections, you'll find warnings written in Serbian that translate to the same message: if you see her dancing, run. freakyfolklore.com carman-carrion.com #SerbianDancingLady #UrbanLegends #FreakyFolklore #TikTokHorror #Creepypasta #DigitalFolklore #BelgradeHorror #InternetLegends #Folklore #ModernMyths #SerbianFolklore EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://carmanscrypt.buzzsprout.com Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://carmancarrion.buzzsprout.com Destination Terror: ⁠https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror⁠ SUPPORT THE SHOW: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/CarmanCarrion Buy Me a Coffee: ⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion⁠ CONNECT WITH CARMAN: Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrion Twitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrion Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/⁠ SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQY iTunes: ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184⁠ Your support helps bring you more terrifying tales!

Baykok – The Flying Skeleton Warrior of Ojibwe Folklore 06.04.2026 35мин

Long before European contact transformed the Great Lakes region, the Ojibwe people told stories about something that hunted from the skies—a skeletal warrior with glowing red eyes that flew on invisible wings, firing arrows no living person could see. The Baykok wasn't a cautionary metaphor or a teaching story for children. It was a predator. A hunter of hunters who targeted the strongest, most skilled warriors and left them dead without a mark. In Ojibwe tradition, the Baykok represents one of the most terrifying possibilities: thatdeath itself can take physical form, stalk you through the forest, and strikeyou down before you even know you're being hunted. This is a creature born froma warrior culture that understood violence intimately, and its legend remindsus that sometimes the most dangerous enemy is the one you never see coming. freakyfolklore.com carman-carrion.com #Baykok #OjibweFolklore #FreakyFolklore #NativeAmericanLegends #FlyingSkeleton #IndigenousFolklore #GreatLakes #SkeletonWarrior #NativeMythology #AnishinaabeCulture #Folklore EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror SUPPORT THE SHOW: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/CarmanCarrion Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion CONNECT WITH CARMAN: Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrion Twitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/ SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQY iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184 Your support helps bring you more terrifying tales!

Monsters of the Jungle - 6 Deadly Creatures 30.03.2026 3ч 38мин

As winter finally loosens its grip and warmer days call us toward beaches, jungles, and humid nights under foreign stars, I find myself drawn to the monsters that thrive in heat and darkness—the creatures that hunt where the air is thick, where the jungle closes in, and where something ancient waits beneath the canopy. Today we're diving deep into the tropical terrors of Southeast Asia and the Philippines—a collection of six creatures that prove the warmth doesn't keep the monsters away. From the Aswang's detachable torso to the Pontianak's vengeful hunt, from the Tiyanak's false cries to the Manananggal's midnight flight, these are the predators that make you think twice before wandering into the jungle after dark. EPISODES INCLUDED: Pontianak – The Vengeful Spirit of Childbirth Aswang – The Boogeyman of the Philippines Kuntilanak – Beware the White Lady Manananggal – Body Splitting Viscera Sucker Tikbalang – The Trickster Demon Tiyanak – The Abandoned Child's Return freakyfolklore.com carman-carrion.com #TropicalMonsters #SoutheastAsianFolklore #FreakyFolklore #Pontianak #Aswang #Manananggal #PhilippineFolklore #Kuntilanak #Tikbalang #Tiyanak #JungleHorror #FolkloreCompilation #VampiricSpirits #TropicalTerrors #AsianFolklore #Folklore #MonsterCompilation EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://carmanscrypt.buzzsprout.com Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://carmancarrion.buzzsprout.com Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror SUPPORT THE SHOW: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/CarmanCarrion Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion CONNECT WITH CARMAN: Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrion Twitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/ SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQY iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184 Your support helps bring you more terrifying tales!

Redcap – The Blood-Soaked Goblin of the Borderlands 23.03.2026 45мин

For centuries along the Anglo-Scottish border, crumbling castles and forgotten towers whispered warnings about something far worse than human violence. Redcap doesn't haunt these ruins because they're atmospheric—he lives there because they're perfect hunting grounds, soaked in the blood of centuries of warfare. This malevolent goblin of English and Scottish folklore isn't content to frighten travelers. He murders them, brutally and without hesitation, for one horrifying purpose: to keep his iron-shod boots moving and his distinctive red cap freshly dyed in human blood. In a landscape already stained by border conflicts and ancient brutality, Redcap represents the darkest possibility—that some creatures don't just feed on violence, they require it to survive. freakyfolklore.com carman-carrion.com #Redcap #ScottishFolklore #EnglishFolklore #FreakyFolklore #BorderFolklore #GoblinLore #DarkFairies #CelticMyths #ScottishMyths #Folklore #BloodMagic #RuinedCastles EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://carmanscrypt.buzzsprout.com Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://carmancarrion.buzzsprout.com Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror SUPPORT THE SHOW: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/CarmanCarrion Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion CONNECT WITH CARMAN: Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrion Twitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/ SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQY iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184 Your support helps bring you more terrifying tales!

Aka Manto – The Red-Cloaked Spirit That Haunts the Last Stall 16.03.2026 39мин

Born from 1930s Japanese schoolyard whispers and now embedded in global horror culture, Aka Manto represents modern urban legend at its most psychologically visceral. This isn't ancient folklore passed down through centuries—it's a contemporary yokai that emerged from the anxieties of modern life, transforming the mundane vulnerability of a bathroom stall into a trap with no escape. When you answer the wrong question, there's no bargaining, no mercy, only the terrible realization that you've sealed your own fate. Aka Manto reminds us that new monsters are born every generation, shaped by our evolving fears—and sometimes, the most terrifying horrors aren't buried in forgotten forests, but waiting in the places we visit every single day. freakyfolklore.com carman-carrion.com #AkaManto #JapaneseFolklore #FreakyFolklore #UrbanLegends #Yokai #BathroomHorror #ModernMyths #JapaneseUrbanLegends #SchoolHorror #RedCloak #ToshiDensetsu #JapaneseGhosts EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://carmanscrypt.buzzsprout.com Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://carmancarrion.buzzsprout.com Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror SUPPORT THE SHOW: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/CarmanCarrion Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion CONNECT WITH CARMAN: Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrion Twitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/ SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQY iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184 Your support helps bring you more terrifying tales!

Rawhead Rex – The Ancient Pagan God That Hungers Beneath the Fields 09.03.2026 37мин

Born from Clive Barker's 1984 horror fiction but rooted in genuine British pagan tradition, Rawhead Rex represents modern folklore at its most visceral. This isn't an ancient legend—it's a contemporary monster that tapped into real fears about buried gods, standing stones, and pre-Christian powers lurking beneath Britain's soil. When a farmer breaks the seal imprisoning this nine-foot creature of muscle and teeth, it brings with it an appetite that hasn't been satisfied in over a thousand years—and a reminder that new folklore emerges when fiction resonates deeply enough with our ancient terrors. freakyfolklore.com #RawheadRex #BritishFolklore #FreakyFolklore #PaganGods #RuralHorror #ForgottenDeities #AncientEvil #CliveBarker #EnglishLegends #FieldGods #PreChristianMyths #BritishHorror EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://carmanscrypt.buzzsprout.com Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://carmancarrion.buzzsprout.com Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror SUPPORT THE SHOW: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/CarmanCarrion Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion CONNECT WITH CARMAN: Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrion Twitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/ SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQY iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184 Your support helps bring you more terrifying tales!
