Step into the shadowed woods of the Smokies, where Cherokee lore reveals the lingering presence of the sgili, dark spirits like the terrifying Spearfinger and the shapeshifting Raven Mocker, who taunt and torture the living. We’ll journey into Oconaluftee Indian Village and hear how unseen spirits and shadowy figures make their presence known, from dorm walls dripping with blood to a costume designer who never misses opening night, even from beyond the grave. This episode was created in collaboration with the Cherokee Historical Association, a nonprofit organization that serves as both a guardian and storyteller of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians’ history and culture.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
