My friend, Missy Sterling, did me the honour of inviting me to write the Forward for her first book, in which she chronicles her resolute efforts to make sense of a strange experience she endured on the state line between Mississippi and Alabama. If you’d like to listen to a reading of this Forward, please check out the link below.

Here is a very well-made podcast episode by the @BeliefHolePodcast on the legends of the #NahanniValley , with spectacular audio effects and fantastic background animation.
Two very good friends of mine have just started their own YouTube channels. One is my friend Tom, a fantastic artist whose illustrations feature in my last video on the Wendigo legend. The other is my friend Kevin, an excellent researcher with a special interest in the Thunderbird legend. They are both great guys, and I know they're going to produce some great videos. If you have a chance, I would really appreciate it if you popped over to their channels and showed them a little love. They are:

Here's another good overview of the Nahanni legends, this one by @MrBallen . This recent wave of retellings reminds me of something the late Canadian historian and media personality Pierre Berton said on radio in 1947: "To me, the Nahanni is a great example of folklore in the making. Trappers and Indians and prospectors and writers like myself have all been spreading these tales and laying them on a little thicker as each year goes by. That's the way fairy tales grow, you know." If you'd like to learn more about the history and folklore surrounding this mysterious region, please check out my 2018 book 'Legends of the Nahanni Valley': mysteriesofcanada.com/nwt/leg...
