Trick or Treat 2017 - Set 1 Oct 09, 2017

Show notes

The first Trick or Treat Halloween special of 2017 features two tales. The first, A Bridge Too Far, walks us through a winter train ride that went horribly wrong over a century ago. The second story reminds us that life is a lot more complex than we're willing to admit. Rise Above introduces us to the darkness found inside that complexity.

Episode 70: Familiar Oct 02, 2017

Show notes

There's a fine line between rationality and madness, but it's not as easy to avoid as you might think. Throughout history, our world has played host to people who have taken their superstitions too far, but it was the chaos of the English Civil War that helped give birth to one of the worst.

Episode 69: Wide Open Sep 18, 2017

Show notes

The sky is full of mystery. It's big, expansive, and—despite a century of powered human flight—outside our realm of control. Which is why, for centuries, humans have expected things to come down from the sky and harm us. It might sound crazy now, but the possibilities are wide open. And that might not be a good thing.

Episode 68: The Tainted Well Sep 04, 2017

Show notes

The older the country, the deeper the roots of its folklore have grown—roots that are fed by darkness, fear, and pain. And few countries hold such a variety of frightening tales, both old and modern, as the lovely Emerald Isle. But not everything that walks those hills is safe to approach.

Episode 67: The Red Coats Aug 21, 2017

Show notes

There are some locations that seem to draw humans closer. Places that are away from the bustle of everyday life, that almost seem part of our soul. We go there for solitaire, or for rest, or recreation. Sometimes, though, we don't return.

Episode 66: Where There's Smoke Aug 07, 2017

Show notes

Fire is a dangerous tool. Used properly, it can transform a society, but if it isn't respected, it can burn that society to the ground. Which is why we are obsessed with controlling it—and completely, utterly afraid of it.

Episode 65: Doing Tricks Jul 24, 2017

Show notes

There are very few bits of folklore that haven't spread around the globe over the past few centuries. Yet every now and then, something fresh and distinct pops up. But just because it's relatively new doesn't mean it's safe.

Episode 64: Behind Closed Doors Jul 10, 2017

Show notes

The bigger the city, the easier it is to miss the little details. Stories of loss, tragedy, and horrifying events have a way of vanishing beneath the bustle of everyday life. And no place is better at hiding away its dark secrets than the Big Apple.

Episode 63: Homecoming Jun 26, 2017

Show notes

Folklore and popular culture are filled with a type of event that seems both unusual and logical: time and time again, criminals return to the source. But as one man proved a century ago, it's not always easy to go home.

Episode 62: Desperate Measures Jun 12, 2017

Show notes

Folklore and medicine often go hand in hand. In fact, for a long time they were the very same thing. But folklore has a way of leading people to tragic actions—all in the name of getting better.
