What happened in this sleepy town in 1903? Was it a never before seen creature? A demon? Or a game of telephone induced by over-active imaginations? What did the people of Van Meter see? #vanmetervisitor #betweenmythandbelief #cryptid #mythandbelief

This week, Beth stumps Michelle with a story about her home state that she had never heard. We learned about dimension, hopping, lost towns, and secret experiments that may or may not have happened. #betweenmythandbelief #theegg #ongshat #pinebarrens

This week we dive into the cold, northern seas as we discuss the haunting beauty and lament of the Selkie. Are they real or just a primitive misunderstanding of unknown? Michelle discovers her new favorite myth and Beth falls in love, again, with the Faroe Islands. #betweenmythandbelief #selkies

Was the Beast actually something more than a wolf? This week Beth brings us a story steeped in history, mystery, and misogyny (and an abundance of butchered French names). #beastofgevaudan #betweenmythandbelief #werewolf or #direwolf

In the 1960s, a historian opened an archive box that hadn't been touched in centuries. Inside were the testimonies of people who knew exactly who they were, before the Inquisition convinced them otherwise. This week we're talking about the Benandanti, the Good Walkers of Friuli.

That is right. I am TERRIBLE at choosing podcast names. So, over time we have debated and circled the issue on both our podcasts. While we hit home with Cozy Quilt Cinema, our other love, Folkloric was left out in the cold. No longer! The placeholder is gone, and we have given her a name. Welcome!

Are we haunted by ghosts of the past , or do we create our own manifestations of our expectations? Today, we take a look at the Philip Experiment.

This episode is full of conspiracy and theory as Beth’s usual skepticism and Michelle’s undying belief in the supernatural creates a discussion of the possible causes and the idea that the Mothman just wants a friend.

You walk along a dark wooded pathway, the damp chill of the air soaks into you woolen cloak. The sounds of hoof beats echoes in the still air, your brief feeling of hope for a ride is dashed as a cold fear strikes your heart. The galloping horse carries a figure without a head, saber in raised hand.

Clinton road cuts through trees looming closely on either side, a feeling of silent rebuke for violating the land. Your headlights sweep across the curve, cutting only partially through the mist which crosses the road ahead. You feel more than see ghostly presences as they flow with the mist. Oct 5

In our first episode, we discuss Michelle's favorite mythical creature, the Unicorn. The myth has gone through many changes in time, but it remains a reminder that some myths are too beloved to fade.

A unicorn stands with it's back to the wind, it's flowing mane sweeping forward with dark clouds above it.
