Mini Monster: Basilisk
Podcast: Camp MonstersPublished On: Wed Jul 08 2020
Description: This month we are traveling to Europe, to tell the story of a creature that has haunted that continent for centuries. Nowadays it is the stuff of legend, the kind of thing you see on old coats-of-arms or hear about in the colorful tales of local folklore. But the further you go into the more remote, forgotten corners of the European countryside, the darker and more forceful the folklore gets. The harsher the stories, the starker the warnings. Until the history of this most deadly of creatures begins to seem more immediate than history should be. And you begin to wonder whether there is some fatal truth to the old tales… some hidden secret, surviving from times long past.Sources:Smithsonian MagazineFandomWikipedia
