Welcome to Folklore Friday, where I discuss the world’s Folklore, Myths, Legends, and superstitions. I explore what these stories meant to the cultures that shared them. Also the different uses of Lore in our modern entertainment and the history of it all. Join me and some friends as we discuss Lore in History, and review television and film that feature supernatural, or Folkloric elements.
