Show Notes

This is the most ridiculous concept to an episode we researched of all time. Easily. The first part of the lore comes to us from Bantu Folklore, and that is the Devouring Gourd. You read that right. The Devouring Gourd is a story that seems to have inspired Little Shop of Horrors. It is a gourd that grew to immense proportions, and ate people until it came into combat with an arrow wielding child. Since that bit of lore is a bit short, you get a two part episode! The second piece of our story is that of a humanoid figure that resembles a walking corn stalk. Did we mention this corn stalk could be extra terrestrial, and is vampiric?
