Myths, folktales, and legends are often passed down orally, some more famous than another. They are rooted in general human experience and have always had important roles in the cultures. I believe every story has its place and deserves to be remembered. This is a sanctuary of the forgotten tales that whisper from the edges of history, a place where lesser-known pantheons, unspoken legends, and the creatures that haunt the forgotten corners of our collective imagination lives. I don't have a professional team, just me, my books and my microphone. However flaw my presentation might be, you would never hear AI voice use here- that's a promise.

The Heart After Death: A History of Love, Grief, and Separate Burial
For twenty years, Lady Dervorguilla of Galloway carried her husband's heart in an ivory casket. She spoke to it. She slept beside it. When she died, the heart was buried with her.<br />She was not alone.<br />Across medieval and early modern Europe, the dead were sometimes buried in pieces. Hearts sent home from crusades, smuggled across borders, or kept in desk drawers for decades. A Breton noblewoman was found with her husband's heart in a lead casket. Mary Shelley kept what she believed was Percy Shelley's heart wrapped in silk. Chopin's sister risked everything to bring his heart back to Poland.<br />Why the heart? For centuries, Europeans believed it held love, memory, and even the soul. Removing it was a way to keep someone close, or send them somewhere sacred.<br />This is the strange, forgotten history of separate heart burial. From Sweetheart Abbey to the Habsburg crypts, from Saint Teresa's preserved relic to the question of where your own heart might rest.<br /><br />Watch the video version of this episode:<br />https://youtu.be/CATMN17ErYY

The Sacred Horse That Guides the Dead: Chinese Burial Traditions
Six hundred horses, buried in perfect rows. A 3,000-year-old ritual still practiced today. And a paper horse burning in a modern funeral. <br /><br />In this episode, we look at the forgotten Chinese tradition of giving the dead a horse. Not as a symbol of wealth, but as a guide and protector for the soul's perilous journey to the afterlife. From the horse worship rituals of the Zhou dynasty to the 600-horse burial of a Qi state king, we trace how ancient Chinese believed that the dead needed transportation. But burying real horses was only for the elite. Then, a revolutionary invention changed everything: paper. <br /><br />We follow the evolution of Zhi Zha, the art of burning paper effigies. From imperial luxury to a folk tradition that crossed class boundaries. Today, families still burn paper horses, alongside iPhones and designer handbags, as offerings of love and farewell. <br /><br />But do the dead really receive them? And why do we keep burning, even when we're not sure? This is a story about fear, hope, and the longest bridge between the living and the dead.<br /><br />Watch the video version of this episode:<br />https://youtu.be/qI1qnesbtRc

They Hanged a Cat for Treason
Cats today are beloved pets, internet icons, practically family members- but it hasn’t always been this way.<br />For centuries, some saw them not with affection, but with suspicion. They were once viewed as conspirators, criminals, and vessels of evil- accused of serving witches, burned in town squares, and even executed for treason.<br />Why were they so feared and despised?
