About this episode

This episode explores folklore and fear surrounding mythical creatures and Navajo beliefs.

There’s something in the woods… and it doesn’t walk like you do. This week’s solo episode drifts into the shadows of folklore and fear—where “flesh pedestrians” are whispered about in hushed tones, and Pukwudgies lurk just beyond the tree line, watching… waiting. Stories like these aren’t just urban legends. For many, they’re warnings. I’ll take you through what people have seen, what they’ve experienced—and why some say you should never answer if something calls your name from the dark. Also making his debut: Aries 🐾 my tiny co-host with a lot to say (you’ll hear him… he insists). Put your headphones in, lock your doors, and maybe… don’t listen alone.
