S12 E9- F-Bomb - Far Flung Folklore
About this episode
This episode explores the similarities in folklore and legends across cultures, focusing on various cryptids and mythical creatures.
On this episode of F-Bomb Friday, we pull the camera back from a single Michigan legend and look at the bigger, stranger pattern hiding inside folklore itself. From the Michigan Dogman to European werewolves, Bigfoot to the Yeti, lake monsters to Nessie, shadow people to the Hat Man, Melon Heads, witches, Wendigo stories, little people, and winged creatures like the Thunderbird and Mothman — cultures across the world have described eerily similar monsters for centuries. Are these stories simply proof that human fears are universal? Are they warnings passed down through generations? Or do these repeated legends point to something older… something humanity has been encountering in the dark for far longer than we realize? #FBombFriday #MichiganFolklore #Cryptids #UrbanLegends #MaliceInTheMitten Hosted and Produced by Tracy Preston, Featuring Todd Preston Story Researched and Written by Todd Preston Original score created exclusively for F-Bomb by Tracy Preston Original artwork by Todd Preston Sources: https://www.britannica.com https://en.wikipedia.org https://www.legendsofamerica.com https://www.bfro.net https://www.mothmanmuseum.com
