Goblins, Knockers, and the Things Beneath Us: Dark Folklore of Underground Beings Worldwide Part 2

from The Strange History Podcast · host Strange History

Long before UFO sightings and modern paranormal investigations, people across the world were already telling the same story — quietly, carefully, and with fear. Small beings living underground. Knocking sounds in mines. Whistles echoing from caves. Lights that should not be followed. In Part Two of The Strange History Podcast’s exploration of the Goblins of Kentucky, host Amy descends into the darker folklore behind underground humanoid beings found in Appalachian legend, European mining traditions, Icelandic hidden people lore, and global cave mythology. This episode explores why these stories appear across cultures that never met, why they all share the same warnings, and why the creatures are not described as monsters — but as neighbors who expect to be left alone. Once you hear the patterns, you may never look at the ground beneath your feet the same way againBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-strange-history-podcast--5773362/support.🎧 The Strange History Podcast Love bizarre true stories, forgotten scandals, and history’s most unhinged moments?Submit your ideas for The Strange History PodcastFollow The Strange History Podcast wherever you listen and never miss an episode. 🔗 Listen & Subscribe:Apple PodcastsSpotifyiHeartRadioAudibleNew episodes regularly.
