Western Maryland Folklore w/ Susan Fair

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 120 “Western Maryland Folklore w/ Susan Fair”   This week we sit down with author and researcher Susan Fair to talk about some of Western Maryland's most interesting stories. Focusing mainly on a few of the stranger creatures reported we are able to highlight both some familiar elements along with some new perspectives. As we often find with the more fantastical side of the cryptid spectrum, the more you dig into these creatures, the more we learn about ourselves. By putting these denizens of the four westernmost counties in this diverse state in context of the past, we learn about the present.    You can find Susan’s books anywhere quality books are sold  -American Witches: A Broomstick Tour through Four Centuries -Maryland Spells: An Incomplete Compendium of Magic Spells and Superstitions From the Old Line State  -Mysteries and Lore of Western Maryland: Snallygasters, Dogmen and other Mountain Tales If you have a story you’d like to share, you can reach out to us on Instagram, YouTube or [email protected]
