History from Horseback

As October deepens and the chill of fall sets in, join Keely and Keagan for a spooky journey into the world of horse-like monsters from folklore! In this Halloween-themed episode of “History from Horseback”, we explore the haunting legends that have been passed down through generations, from the misty lochs of Scotland to the dark rainforests of the Philippines.

We begin with the tale of the kelpie, a beautiful yet deadly water spirit that lures unsuspecting victims into its grasp. From there, we’ll travel across cultures, discovering creatures like the shape-shifting nix, the eerie nuckelavee, the mischievous tikbalang, and more. Whether it's a creature that haunts your local river, a trickster lurking in the forest, or a myth that still leaves you looking over your shoulder, these legendary beings remind us that the natural world holds both beauty and danger.

So, saddle up and prepare to dive into these captivating legends of water spirits, tricksters, and eerie equines—just in time for the spookiest time of the year! 🎃🐎👻
