99. Something in the Water: The Truth Behind Mermaid Legends

Mermaid legends and mermaid sightings have followed humans across oceans, cultures, and centuries, from ancient water spirits to sailors’ reports and modern shoreline encounters. In this episode, we look at why these stories keep surfacing, what patterns show up again and again, and why the ocean still leaves room for questions. We’re talking ancient Assyrian myth, sirens, Mami Wata, rusalki, ningyo, selkies, the Kiryat Yam mermaid sightings, Zimbabwe dam reports, and one eerie night-fishing story from Reddit. Basically, are mermaids real, are people misidentifying sea life, or are we all just one weird splash away from spiraling? 👀 Sneak Peek 🌊 Ancient mermaid legends from Assyria, Greece, West Africa, Slavic folklore, Japan, and Scotland 🧜‍♀️ Modern mermaid sightings from Kiryat Yam, Zimbabwe, and remote shorelines 🎣 A creepy night-fishing story involving singing in the dark and absolutely no chill 🔗 Links 🎧 Listen here: https://pod.link/1754259268 [https://pod.link/1754259268] 🎥 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NotMyGhostPodcast [https://www.youtube.com/@NotMyGhostPodcast] 🔗 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/notmyghostnotmyproblem [https://www.patreon.com/notmyghostnotmyproblem] 📩 Paranormal Postcards submissions: notmyghostpodcast@gmail.com [notmyghostpodcast@gmail.com] 🛍️ Shop: https://notmyghostpodcast-shop.fourthwall.com/ [https://notmyghostpodcast-shop.fourthwall.com/] 📸 Instagram & TikTok: @notmyghostpodcast 📘 Facebook: Not My Ghost, Not My Problem ❓ Question for the Comments Important question: what’s your favorite Pokémon, and are you going with the classic original 150 or the newer generations? 📚 Sources & Further Reading * Mermaid — Encyclopedia Britannica. * Are Mermaids Real? — NOAA Ocean Service. * Atargatis — Encyclopedia Britannica. * Rusalka — Encyclopedia Britannica. * Mami Wata — Encyclopedia.com [http://Encyclopedia.com]. * Giant Squid — Smithsonian Ocean. * Israeli Municipality Offers Million Dollar Reward for Solid Evidence of the Existence of a Mermaid in Israeli Waters — Reuters Archive Licensing. * Gokwe “Mermaids” Appeased — The Standard. * Mermaids: The Body Found — Snopes.

98. The Green Children of Woolpit: Medieval England’s Strangest Mystery

The Green Children of Woolpit is one of medieval England’s strangest unsolved mysteries: two green-skinned children reportedly appeared near a wolf pit in 12th-century Suffolk, speaking an unknown language and refusing every food except raw fava beans. In this episode, we dig into the historical accounts, the world these children supposedly stepped into, and the theories that try to explain them, from illness and lost Flemish children to fairy lore, underground worlds, and parallel dimensions. The weirdest part is not that there are theories. It is that none of them fully works. ⚠️ Content Warning Mentions of child death and historical violence. 👀 Sneak Peek 🟢 Two mysterious green children appear in medieval Woolpit with no clear explanation 📜 Two medieval chroniclers record the story, but their versions do not fully match 🧚 Theories range from medical explanations and Flemish orphans to fairy realms, underground civilizations, and parallel worlds 🔗 Links 🎧 Listen here: https://pod.link/1754259268 [https://pod.link/1754259268] 🎥 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NotMyGhostPodcast [https://www.youtube.com/@NotMyGhostPodcast] 🔗 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/notmyghostnotmyproblem [https://www.patreon.com/notmyghostnotmyproblem] 📩 Paranormal Postcards submissions: notmyghostpodcast@gmail.com [notmyghostpodcast@gmail.com] 🛍️ Shop: https://notmyghostpodcast-shop.fourthwall.com/ [https://notmyghostpodcast-shop.fourthwall.com/] 📸 Instagram & TikTok: @notmyghostpodcast 📘 Facebook: Not My Ghost, Not My Problem 📚 Sources & Further Reading * Historia rerum Anglicarum — William of Newburghhttps://sourcebooks.fordham.edu/basis/williamofnewburgh-intro.asp [http://sourcebooks.fordham.edu/basis/williamofnewburgh-intro.asp] * Chronicon Anglicanum — Ralph of Coggeshallhttps://archive.org/details/ChroniconAnglicanum [http://archive.org/details/ChroniconAnglicanum] * Children from the Sky — Duncan Lunan Mutus Liber, 2012 * The Fairies in English Tradition and Literature — Katharine Briggs University of Chicago Press, 1967 * “The Green Children of Woolpit” — Paul Harris, Fortean Studies, Vol. 4, 1998 * “Green Children of Woolpit” — Wikipediahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_children_of_Woolpit [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_children_of_Woolpit] * “The Green Children of Woolpit” — Ancient Originshttps://www.ancient-origins.net/myths-legends-europe/green-children-of-woolpit-002347 [http://www.ancient-origins.net/myths-legends-europe/green-children-of-woolpit-002347] * “The Green Children of Woolpit” — Brian Haughtonhttp://brian-haughton.com/ancient-mysteries-articles/green-children-of-woolpit/ [http://brian-haughton.com/ancient-mysteries-articles/green-children-of-woolpit/]

97. Growing up Haunted: Emily's Story - Part 2

Spirit attachment, haunted apartment, mimic voice, and protective paranormal warnings are at the center of this episode as Kelly’s daughter Emily shares what happened after she moved out of her haunted childhood home. In part two, her story shifts from growing up with unexplained activity to dealing with strange experiences in adulthood, including unsettling activity her boyfriend also noticed and moments that felt less like a haunting and more like a warning. What makes this one hit harder is that the experiences do not seem tied to just one house. Emily talks through the possibility of a protective presence, the way activity seemed to react to her relationships, and two deeply unnerving situations where her instincts, or something around her, seemed to alert her to danger. ⚠️ Content Warning: Brief discussion of mental health struggles, death related to substance use, stalking fears, and possible attempted break-in. Sneak Peak 👻 Emily shares what happened when the activity seemed to follow her after she moved out of the haunted house 🚪 Emily and others around her experience unexplained knocking, watched feelings, and a voice that seems to mimic her ⚠️ A presence that may be attached to Emily starts to feel less threatening and more protective, especially when danger is nearby 🚘 The episode builds to a terrifying encounter outside her apartment that changes how she interprets everything that came before Links 🎧 Listen here: https://pod.link/1754259268 [https://pod.link/1754259268] 🎥 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NotMyGhostPodcast [https://www.youtube.com/@NotMyGhostPodcast] 🔗 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/notmyghostnotmyproblem [https://www.patreon.com/notmyghostnotmyproblem] 📩 Paranormal Postcards submissions: notmyghostpodcast@gmail.com [notmyghostpodcast@gmail.com] 🛍️ Shop: https://notmyghostpodcast-shop.fourthwall.com/ [https://notmyghostpodcast-shop.fourthwall.com/] 📸 Instagram & TikTok: @notmyghostpodcast 📘 Facebook: Not My Ghost, Not My Problem Question for the Comments: Have you ever had a moment where your gut, your instincts, or something unseen told you to pay attention?
