The Meowing Nuns
from Monstrous
A convent in France. Silence, ritual, and devotion. And then, according to later accounts, the sound of cat-like cries breaking through the stillness. In this episode of Monstrous, we unravel the eerie story of the meowing nuns — a medieval tale that lives somewhere between legend, historical memory, and psychological mystery. We explore what people believed was happening, why the story survived, and what it reveals about fear, control, and the fragile line between order and collapse. We also dig into the symbolism of cats in medieval Europe and the possibility that the tale reflects something deeper about shared distress and collective behavior. 📧 Send us case suggestions and listener stories: [email protected] 📱 Follow us on all social media links here: https://linktr.ee/monstrouspod
