EP 311: Asphurtzela (Wardrop)
Listen Here Watch Here Asphurtzela There was, and there wasn’t (of God’s best may it be!), there was once a woman. This woman’s husband had died young, and left her with four little children: three boys and one girl. When the children were grown, their mother said: ‘Children, why don't you look after your father’s house? why do you abandon it?’ The children did not know anything about the house, and asked their mother where it was.

Listen Here Watch Here The Goblin Of Adachigahara Long, long ago there was a large plain called Adachigahara, in the province of Mutsu in Japan. This place was said to be haunted by a cannibal goblin who took the form of an old woman. From time to time many travelers disappeared and were never heard of more, and the old women round the charcoal braziers in the evenings, and the girls washing the household rice at the wells in the mornings, whispered dreadful stories of how the missing folk had been lured to the goblin’s cottage and devoured, for the goblin lived only on human flesh.

EP 282: How Glooskap Made The Birds (MacMillan)
Listen Here Watch here HOW GLOOSKAP MADE THE BIRDS Once upon a time long before the white men came to Canada there lived a wicked giant who caused great trouble and sorrow wherever he went. Men called him Wolf-Wind. Where he was born no man knows, but his home was in the Cave of the Winds, far in the north country in the Night-Night Land, and there men knew he was hiding on calm days when the sun was hot and the sea was still, and on quiet nights when not a leaf or a flower or a blade of grass was stirring.
