274-European Folklore: Murky

Jason Weiser, Carissa Weiser, Nextpod
About this episode

Two stories from Eastern Europe where we see why mythological water monsters aren't a great way to discipline your kids. On the second, if a wizard is mumbling something outside your house, you're in for a bad time unless you talk to a witch.

The creatures are the Devil's Dandy Dogs! They're not dandy, not the devil's, and they're barely dogs!
