Summary

Lumberjack legends and shadowy creatures haunt the dense forests of the Great Lakes—where folklore breathes and monsters still roam. This week, Jeni Monroe and Tressa Slater welcome Kevin Lee Nelson, folklorist and seeker of the strange who grew up steeped in Wisconsin’s wilderness myths. From hidden symbols in high strangeness to forgotten tales of American folk-magic, discover how ancient lore continues to echo across the continent—and why some stories refuse to die.Beasts of the Northwoods - Monsters Lounge PodcastKevin Lee Nelson's link:https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/7008436.Kevin_Lee_NelsonFind all Monsters Lounge info and links here:https://www.monstersloungepodcast.com/https://linktr.ee/monsterslounge(and while you're there, RATE, REVIEW, SUBSCRIBE AND FOLLOW)Pathways to Spirit with Sarah LemosIt's time to uncover your gifts and abilities.register now at https://www.mediumsarahlemos.com/Join us, and spread the word about the Cryptid Womens Society!https://cryptidwomenssociety.com/cws-tressa/ PLEASE SUPPORT THE ADVERTISERS THAT SUPPORT THIS SHOW LEAN - Save 25% on Everything Sitewide by using code Laborday25 at check out www.BrickHouseNutrition.com Happiness Experiment -https://bit.ly/HappinessExperimentP60 Factor Meals - Get 50% off your first order & Free Shipping at ⁠⁠www.FactorMeals.com/p6050off⁠⁠ & use code: P6050off at checkout Mint Mobile - To get your new wireless plan for just $15 a month, and get the plan shipped to your door for FREE, go to ⁠⁠www.MintMobile.com/P60⁠⁠ Shadow Zine - ⁠⁠https://shadowzine.com/ ⁠⁠Love & Lotus Tarot - ⁠⁠http://lovelotustarot.com/⁠⁠ -Credit and a warm thank you to Jay Juliano for original theme music: Enter The Monster's Lounge-Special thanks to Dave Schrader and The Paranormal 60 Network
