Today's episode is all about the Haitian zombies. We've got a long introduction where we delve into documented accounts of zombification in Haiti, the practices used to make zombies and the widespread fear associated with them and then we finish off with two, true, scary stories of zombies.

I also want to apologise for any mispronunciations. I have a head cold and I'm feeling sorry for myself.

Nestled majestically in Northern California, Mount Shasta is not only a magnificent natural wonder but also a place steeped in mystery and mythology.

According to Native American tribes, Mount Shasta is considered a sacred and spiritual site. The Wintu people believe that the mountain is inhabited by powerful spirits and is the center of creation. They hold the belief that the mountain is guarded by a great spirit called Skell, who possesses immense wisdom and protects the land and its people.

Skell, Spirit of the Above World, plays a significant role in the mythology of various Native American tribes, particularly in the Southwest.

One of the most enduring tales surrounding Mount Shasta is that of the mystical city of Telos, said to be hidden within the mountain. According to believers, Telos is a thriving underground city inhabited by an advanced civilization known as the Lemurians. These ancient beings, the legends claim, escaped the destruction of their homeland, Lemuria, and found refuge within Mount Shasta's secret tunnels. Many claim to have encountered these Lemurians, describing them as tall, enlightened beings who impart wisdom and spiritual guidance to those who are deemed worthy.

On today's episode, we share tales of the Autumn Equinox, Mabon, the Harvest Moon and some creepy associated European folklore. We have an introduction piece, followed by two, true scary stories!

Across different cultures around the world, the autumn equinox is marked with various customs, beliefs and festivals to symbolize the transition from the warmth of summer to the cool embrace of autumn.

Mabon is one such festival, that celebrates the second harvest and the transition of the Earth into the season of autumn. It takes place around September 21st or 22nd in the Northern Hemisphere, and around March 21st or 22nd in the Southern Hemisphere. This festival has its roots in ancient Celtic and Pagan traditions, and it is often associated with a variety of folklore and mythical tales.
