Book of Lore
Welcome to the Book of Lore.
Each week, host Juwon LeDay opens a new entry from a collection of urban legends, cryptids, folklore, and supernatural mysteries. From famous monsters and haunted locations to forgotten legends and unexplained encounters, every story is examined through history, eyewitness accounts, and the folklore that keeps these tales alive.
Some stories fade with time. Others refuse to stay buried.
