Welcome to our Eleventy First Episode!

Across the frozen North, they said the dead never truly sleep. The Norse draugar—corpse revenants—rose from their graves to guard treasure, punish betrayal, or ride the storms headless. In this Haunted Harvest episode, we explore the terrifying roots of the Headless Dead: from Viking burial rituals meant to stop the undead, to the floating entrail spirits of Southeast Asia, the cursed mule of Brazil, and the saints of Europe who walked with their own severed heads.

What connects these myths across continents and centuries? Why does the image of the headless body—or the flying head—haunt so many cultures? We trace the motif through Icelandic sagas, Asian folklore, and Christian miracle tales, revealing how one primal image became both nightmare and revelation.

🜏 Featuring: Norse draugar, nukekubi, penanggalan, cephalophore saints, and modern eyewitness reports from Iceland to Brazil.
