Have you ever wondered what gave birth to the stories we tell around the campfire? What happened in our history that caused spooky tales of creatures such as werewolves and ladies in white to be passed down from generation to generation? And more importantly, why are we still so fascinated with the macabre? Join me as I jump down the rabbit hole of a new subject each week and attempt to stitch together the history of all things strange and spooky. Visit FascinatingPodcasts.com for more info.

Episode 34 | Death Personified

A Note Of Warning: The topic I discuss this week may not be suitable for listeners under the age of 13. Do you know who holds the keys to the underworld in Greek Mythology? Do you know which Loa from Haitian Voodoo keeps zombies from rising from the grave? Do you know how many people have died from war just in the last century? This week I dive into all of the different characters that reap our souls and transport them to the afterlife, and whether or not they are really the bad guys we vilify them as.

*Also, go check out my Instagram page at StrangeOriginsPodcast for more examples of art depicting personifications of Death.
