Surprise! It's a Tell We Tale, and Katy is back with another Creature Feature! This week, she covers the Japanese legend of the Akkorokamui AND the horrifying Celtic newt-like parasite, the Alp-Luachra! One shows off its Dread Pirate Robinson skills so that it can keep eating ships (and people), and the other just waits for you to fall asleep with your mouth open and hopes that you don't eat too much salted pork. Both are equally terrifying.
Listen carefully for the clues Katy is dropping about the secret Easter Eggs in her Creature Features!
Huge thank you to our listener Gemma (@thecraftycriminologist) for the stickers and earrings!! She is our go-to for custom stickers, and we are obsessed with her jewelry!
