The Odd & Outrageous Origins of Children's Stories

True Creeps: True Crime, Ghost Stories, Cryptids, Horrors in History & Spooky Stories

Join us while we discuss the origins behind some of our favorite children stories. We'll discuss the background behind the tooth fairy, a few nursey rhymes, and even Sleeping Beauty. We'll also talk about rodents more than you'd expect. Would you wear a squid skin suit? How strong would a mouse have to be? Can kids stories ever just be fiction? Who wants a piece of my bone?

As a reminder, we will be taking two weeks off so we will be returning with a new episode on 7/15/22.
