Episode 58 – Thanksgiving Special III: Native American Lore

| November 25, 2019

It’s the week of Thanksgiving, and as the American holiday is all about tradition, we thought we would bring you another year of Native American myths and legends. In the first story, Cody tells us about the Skudakumooch, the ghost witch that preys on people around cemeteries. Next Chris discusses the Floating Heads of the Iroquois (differerent from the Rolling Heads from last week’s minisode). Cody then talks about the Wendigo, a cannibalistic creature that spawned a grisly true story. Finally, Chris shares a fascinating tale about the Legend of the Deer Woman, a shapeshifter who entices men to their doom (DOOM!). Creep of the Week is from Natalie Evans of the podcast “Some Kind of Brown.” Here, she tells us the beautiful myth of the Red Bird. This week’s drinks are Grape Smirnoff Ice, Grand Canyon Kachina Beer, and a variety of ciders.
