The Penanggalan & Goblins

Sinister Sisters

This week, it’s two tales of creepy creatures! Grotesque Ghost Heads and Goblins galore!
First up, Lauren covers the Penanggalan - a nocturnal vampiric creature originating in Malaysian folklore that’s unlike anything you’ve ever seen or heard of! This hideous entity appears as a floating, disembodied female head with its trailing organs and tail-like intestines still attached. It’s like if Medusa and a slimy snake made a Black Magic baby that bursts into a ball of flames! But are they ghosts? Or is it a witch? Or something even more? Listen to hear how these decapitated undead creatures are created and what they could possibly want from the living…
Next, Felicia discusses a more commonly seen creepy creature - Goblins! Of course we've all seen Goblins in their many forms, in everything from myths to movies and just as a general term for a creature, but Felicia talks about several unique kinds. Some of these little monsters might be relatively harmless, but others are just looking to dip their cap in your blood...
