The Sunshine

It's a tough time right now, and this story, I feel, is a good allegory for it.  Remember to be kind and try to bring some sunshine to someone, even if it's yourself.

The Bunworth Banshee

There are few mythological creatures as isolated as the Banshee of Ireland.  I can think of no other country with legends of a creature quite like the Banshee, yes there are ghosts and spirits and poltergeists but the Banshee sticks out among them all.  This is one such tale from T. Crofton Croker about this fascinating specter.

The Troll in the Ditch

By Anna Wahlenberg In the intro I incorrectly stated "no known author".  I was incorrect and have amended it here.   This is one of the tales to come from Sweden about trolls that can be beneficial, or not, based upon how you treat them, just like the old witch who curses the Prince in beauty and the Beast. anchor.fm/trollcastunknown Business Inquiries: [email protected] --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/classictales/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/classictales/support
