Folkore is Born in Different Ways

from The Ghost Furnace Podcast

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 139 "Folklore is Born in Different Ways" On this week's episode we look into some more unconventional folkloric stories and their origins. Where and why some of these stories pop up and why they stick around might be due to an underlying truth about the human condition, they might tell us about our cultural threats, or they might just be bad jokes that stick around. The book we reference is "The Vanishing Hitchhiker: American Urban Legends and Their Meanings" by Jan Harold Brunvand If you have any stories or urban legends that come from your spaces? We would love to hear them. You can find us on Instagram and YouTube, or [email protected]
