Big Liz, Candyman, and BOO HAGS: Legends & Lore from a Black Universe

From Ghost Stories to Cryptids to an Urban Legend bore from Film, we’ve got a little something for everyone’s tastes on this weeks episode! This week we talk with Storyteller, Ariel Therkiel, from Tales From A Black Universe! A podcast dedicated to AfroFuturism, SciFi, and Speculative Fiction. Join our retrospective glance at the legends and lore born out of the African American Experience, from Big Liz who's ghostly visage and legend are all that remain from her Civil War Era murder, then travel to Gullah to meet THE BOO HAG, & finally revisit the fictitious legend of the Candyman and how to Kill him (but more importantly how he has impacted culture)! You won’t want to miss the spooky stories that Ariel brings!   Intro / Outro: Strange Stuff by Matt Harris Additional Music: Spirit of the Dead by Aakash Gandhi Consequence - Wonders by Kevin MacLeod* Dreaming Blue by Sextile   *Consequence - Wonders by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100283 Artist: http://incompetech.com/
