Pilot Episode

from Uncanny Aly · host Aly

Vampires, folklore, the Mafia, getting mugged in Naples, and a mysterious man called Signore M. Obviously, we had to start here. In the pilot episode of Uncanny Aly, I’m joined by my friend Bianca for a very normal conversation about vampires that rapidly becomes anything but normal. We dig into vampire folklore across different cultures, supernatural vampires versus the creatures history actually believed in, and why so many societies developed stories about things that fed on the living. Then we head to Italy: Venice, Florence, Naples, the Mafia, one particularly unfortunate mugging, and a TikTok story involving a mysterious encounter with a man known only as Signore M. History gets weird. Folklore gets weirder. And occasionally, real life is the strangest part. Welcome to Uncanny Aly. Let’s get weird.
