You may have heard of witches in Salem, Massachusetts, but have you heard about the witch who supposedly cursed an entire town in Maryland just a few years after the infamous trials? Who some say still haunts the area, bringing about everything from car accidents to lightning strikes to severe illness? This witch will teach you a lesson about being neighborly!

Eistedfodd Hapus! Celebrate the Welsh language and culture with this very special episode about an ancient and terrifying harbinger of death. In a Monstress first, I'm joined by special guest Owen Staton; a professional storyteller and Welsh speaker who discusses the country's unique folklore and oral traditions, shares a story of his own about this episode's monstress, and even teaches me some of the Welsh language, or tries to at least despite my ineptitude... Please excuse the poorer audio quality during my interview with Owen as it seems the software we were using had a few technical problems between our devices. I plan to have this remedied next time I have a guest on the show though!
