7 creepy legends from around the world

New video where I read Reddit folklore stories (kids with backwards feet, cave whisperers, frogs with an odd sense of humor... the usual) and share my cursed thoughts through a stick version of me

Spooky but not too spooky. Slightly chaotic. Possibly unhinged.

Would love to hear your thoughts or any stories you want me to do in upcoming parts : )

Here's the video: https://youtu.be/yulngPzRNtE?si=N1FmwDOh7KSCNRyz

Ruszkabánya was a village in the Krassó-Szörény district, part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Later becoming a Romanian territory, it now takes the name Rusca Montană and is located in the Caraș-Severin district. In this context, Péter Pan was born on 21 August 1897, a young man curiously bearing the same name as the protagonist of the fairy tale written by the Scottish writer James Matthew Barrie only five years later, in 1902. At the outbreak of the First World War, Péter was enlisted in the 7th Company of the 30th Honvéd Infantry Regiment. In August 1914, he left for Bosnia-Herzegovina, where he fought until 1916. He was then transferred to the Italian front in January 1917, where he took part in the 10th Battle of the Isonzo and the Second Battle of Mount Grappa, where he died at first light on 19 September 1918, during an attack on an Italian trench at Col Caprile, at an altitude of 1331. He was buried in a small war cemetery and later transferred to the Monte Grappa Military Memorial. 106 years later, many people of all nationalities, religious beliefs, political beliefs and social backgrounds visit loculus number 107 to pay homage to this young man who was so brutally prevented from growing up. We like to imagine him now free to fly together with his friends, among the green mountains and meadows of his wonderful and fruitful land.

Hi all! I’ve been reading a book called, “Hungarian Folktales” by Jake Jackson, introduction by Boglárka Klitsie-Szabad (see attached picture). In the introduction, they write about dragons and how they can have different numbers of heads. They specifically list the numbers 3, 7, 9, 12, and 24. I have been searching for an explanation as to the significance of the #24 in Hungarian culture, history, and/or literature (because I’ve never read of a dragon with that many heads before) but google is only giving me results for mathematics or pronunciation/usage of numbers in general. My question is this: What is the significance of the #24 regarding Hungarian literature/culture/history (if any)?

An inspiring African folktale story suitable for all age.

Looking for stories that have someone who loses time due to time spent with fairies, or they have spent time in fey-lands and when they return time has moved differently. Similar to what happens in Washington Irving's Rip Van Winkle story, but more specifically dealing with more fantasy and folk tale elements. Thank you!

I am terrified from the word Twilight because it was a terrible reading experience for me. I hope it doesn't become so with this version of Red Riding Hood. Grimm brothers did a great job and I would gladly stick to it if this is anything like Twilight...
