S1.E43 - Skin Deep: Selkies, Mermaids, Sea Brides & Fishy Business

The Pandemonium crew is back with another unhinged plunge into cryptid chaos - and this time, we’re setting sail for the icy waters of island myth and maritime mayhem.In the fourth installment of our October spooky series, we're diving deep into the legends of Selkies, those seductive, seal-skinned shapeshifters who lured sailors with more than just a song.Join Rachel, Cat, and Meg as we wade through European folklore, explore the eerie waters of Orkney, and unpack tales of human skin suits, fishy seduction, and the line between love and abduction.We’re talking WickieWatchies, ghostly ocean brides, and enough sea-salted swearing to keep Poseidon blushing.It’s wet, weird, and full of warnings - because sometimes, the most haunting love stories live just beneath the waves.Links We Used - Selkies: https://intrepidusoutdoors.co.uk/scottish-folklore-the-selkie#:~:text=The%20selkie%20is%20a%20mythological,to%20as%20being%20incredibly%20attractive.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selkiehttps://www.wildernessireland.com/blog/irish-myths-legends-part-4-selkies/https://scotlands-stories.com/traditional-scottish-selkie-stories/https://www.shanore.com/blog/the-legend-of-the-selkies/https://folklorescotland.com/selkies/https://www.wildernessscotland.com/blog/scottish-water-mythology-selkies-kelpies/https://www.thebottleimp.org.uk/2016/12/selkies-sex-and-the-supernatural/
