Vampyres

About this episode

The episode explores vampire legends and myths with historian Emily from Ghostoria.

This week, we slip into the velvet dusk to explore the legends that have made vampires the most ubiquitous creatures in folklore. Today, historian and founder of Ghostoria, Emily will take us on a deep-dive into blood-soaked myths and cover some of the wildest vampire stories to date. Join us for a bite-sized tour of the undead: their fears, their hunger, their forbidden allure… and the strange truths they reflect back at us. Step lightly. These stories still have teeth.
