Horrifying History

A few days ago I was speaking to one of my listeners.  I happen to speak to her every Sunday since she is my 74 year old mother.  She said to me…I was listening to your podcast with your Auntie Henriette, and we loved it (thanks mom), but when are you going to talk about Wendigos?  I don’t know what shocked me more…the fact that my 74 year old mother is a fan of my podcast, or the fact she wanted to hear about Wendigos.  Luckily for her, I was currently working on this episode…Welcome to Episode 6 – Mythical Monsters…Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to join the conversation.  If you support us at www.patreon.com/horrifyinghistory you can choose from many different experiences including having access to bonus episodes and perhaps be a guest host.  Also, Horrifying History wants to give a shout out to Christine J who is our latest contest winner.  Congratulations, and thank you for supporting our podcast.

Spiritualism is a belief system that is based on the supposed communication with the spirit world.  It started to develop in the mid-1800’s and reached it’s peak in the 1920’s, but many of it’s practices continue today and are more common than you think.  Many of you listeners have likely used tools that were created as part of this movement, but may not know all the urban myths and perceived dangers that these tools may bring.  Today you will hear about some of these tools, what they supposedly do, the trouble they may bring, and you can decide for yourself if they are a scam or a portal to the dark side. Join the discussion on our Facebook page, Instagram, or on Twitter, and let us know your thoughts on what is real and what is not.  Also, come find us on Patreon to gain bonus episodes with your support....until next time...
