216 - The Wild Hunt

In today's podcast we discuss the phenomenon of The Wild Hunt, a bit of folklore shared under various names and guises all over much of Europe.  The core principle is a spectral hunt of spirits roaming the countryside lead by a shadowy figure rumored to be anything from death itself to King Arthur.  Spirits condemned to join the hunt are forced to ride until they have absolved themselves, and anyone witnessing the hunt ride by is doomed to ill fate.  Take a listen and learn more about the ghostly riders and hounds of the wild hunt!
