  • The Chindi of the Diné - What the Dead Leave Behind

    The Chindi of the Diné - What the Dead Leave Behind
    Sep 7 2026
    When a person dies, the Diné believe the good in them moves on — and everything else stays behind. It gathers in that last breath, steps out of the body, and waits. It's called the chindi, and the wise thing, the safe thing, is to leave the dead alone: their homes, their names, the things buried with them. Wade Corliss dug where he was warned not to. He carried something home from a death hogan out in the red-rock country — and it followed him. This week on Freaky Folklore, we walk carefully into a living Diné tradition to talk about ghost sickness, whirlwinds that turn the wrong way, and the price of taking what was never yours. Leave the dead alone. Some of them don't stay that way. 🎧 Part of the Eeriecast Network — eeriecast.com #FreakyFolklore #Chindi #NavajoFolklore #Diné #GhostSickness #Folklore #FolkloreHorror #ScaryStories #HorrorPodcast #Paranormal #Creepy #Eeriecast #Southwest #FourCorners #TrueHorror #HauntedHistory #PodcastCommunity EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion CONNECT WITH CARMAN: Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrion YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FreakyFolklore Twitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/ SUBSCRIBE& REVIEW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQY iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184 Yoursupport helps bring you more terrifying tales.

  • LOCH NESS MONSTER – The Dark Folklore the Postcard Hides

    LOCH NESS MONSTER – The Dark Folklore the Postcard Hides
    Aug 31 2026
    Scotland's most famous cryptid has her face on a shortbread tin — but the folklore underneath is one of the deadliest water legends in all of Europe, and it doesn't begin in 1933 with a grainy photograph. It begins in the year 565, with a burial. In this episode of Freaky Folklore, we drag Nessie out of the gift shop and back into the black water where she came from: the deepest, coldest, most lightless loch in Britain. We get into the 1,400-year-old account of Saint Columba and the "water beast" that had already killed a man before he ever reached the shore. We uncover the each-uisge — the Highland water horse that lures you close, fuses to your skin, drags you under, and leaves only your liver floating back to shore by morning. We expose the beloved "Surgeon's Photograph" for the revenge hoax it always was. And then I tell you an original story about a boy, a brother, and a warm, calm, silent night on the loch in the winter of 1889 — and the one thing the postcards will never tell you about what's waiting down there. Turn the lights off. Just… not near the water. #LochNessMonster #Folklore #HorrorPodcast #Nessie #Cryptid #ScottishFolklore #FreakyFolklore #Kelpie #Mythology #FolkloreHorror #ScaryStories #Legends EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror ________________________________________ SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion ________________________________________ CONNECT WITH CARMAN: Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrion YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FreakyFolklore Twitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/ ________________________________________ SUBSCRIBE& REVIEW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQY iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184 Your support helps bring you more terrifying tales. ________________________________________ DISCOVER MORE HORROR: http://eeriecast.com/ https://www.carman-carrion.com/ ________________________________________ MUSIC CREDITS: Music and sound effects provided by: ElevenLabs Learn more about your ad choices.
