Episode 353 - Holiday Cryptids | The Derry Fairy & Baba Yaga

We’re bringing a spooky twist to the holiday season as we explore two winter legends lurking in the shadows. First, we unravel the tale of the Derry Fairy—a tiny green creature spotted in the 1950s New Hampshire woods by a Christmas-tree hunter, sparking theories of fairies, goblins, and even aliens watching from the pines. Then we journey into Slavic folklore to meet Baba Yaga, the iconic witch who roams the winter forest in her hut on chicken legs. Terrifying, wise, and wildly powerful, she appears during the darkest days of the year to test, challenge, or help those who cross her path. Vagus Nerve Meditation video here.
