Horses can be majestic animals. Just look at their mythic cousins, the unicorn and the Pegasus. But did you ever wonder what it would look like if a horse were, instead of magical, mischievous? Or even murderous? I’m Elise Parisian, and we’ll be talking about the water horse—and the character from Scottish folklore called the Kelpie—on this episode of Unspookable.
Have you ever had a black cat cross your path? Did you worry that it might bring you bad luck? And why have these furry felines been associated with witches, magic, and the supernatural for centuries? We'll be exploring the history, superstitions, and surprising science behind black cats on this episode of Unspookable.
In honor of spooky season, we’re keeping things extra creepy with the waking nightmare phenomenon called Sleep Paralysis. What is sleep paralysis?
