In the forbidding wilderness of Canada's northwest territories, there's a warning passed from Guide to Traveler.

For what hunts there is neither wolf nor bear, but something that remembers when it was the apex predator of a world covered in ice.

Some say the most lethal predator is one that has evolved to hunt humans specifically.

In the mist-shrouted valleys between ancient mountains, massive wolf-like creatures move with

impossible silence, leaving behind only the headless remains of those foolish enough to invade

their territory.

Welcome to Freaky Folklore, where we dive headfirst into the darkest corners of human imagination.

I'm your host and fellow fear enthusiast, Carmen Carion, exploring the creatures and entities that have kept people awake for centuries,

from whispers around prospector's campfires to modern encounters that spread like wildfire online.

We're examining mankind's endless fascination with the macabre and mysterious.
