Criminals & Villiany await in todays tales, from torturous robbers throwing travelers into their Basement pitt to mystic Highwaymen who terrorize farmers & travelers in the hills of eastern NY! These Tales come from Charles M Skinners “myths & legends of our own Lands”, a fantastical text featuring folklore across America from 1860-early 1900s. But these come from his stomping grounds along the Hudson! So let’s talk about Francis WoolCott, a tall dark man who gained his warlock gifts from a mystic message on a meteor he found crashed atop Mt Riga State park. He & his nightriders use their magic steeds to extort folks of all their goods, but learn how to escape their wrath today! A great campfire legend for a summer in Upstate New York’s Capital region! Plus Monster mosquitoes, Mold Vampires & learn who lurks in the deep Valley of Zoar & why the usage of natural deformations in Horror has been a problematic trope living to modern film. Let’s talk about what our criminals & outlaws say about our own society on this weeks tale from the Fringes!
