Host Carman Carrion explores myriad myths both modern and ancient to discover what mankind fears - and why we fear it. From monsters old and new as well as unexplained and unsolved cases, this podcast is sure to terrify. Where does our folklore come from, and why is it so freaky?

The Adze is a shapeshifting creature from West African Ewe folklore that appears as an innocent firefly but is actually a vampiric being capable of squeezing through any crack or keyhole to enter homes.
