Summary
This week on Paranormal Portal, we welcome historian and author Matt King for a fascinating discussion about the evolution of folklore, legends, and the mysterious figures that inhabit them. From goblins and trolls to Bigfoot and other legendary beings , we explore how these stories are shaped by the cultures that tell them, transforming across generations while retaining familiar themes and meanings. Rather than asking whether these entities are real or imagined, this conversation examines how the unknown becomes woven into our collective stories, why certain legends endure, and what these enduring archetypes may reveal about humanity itself. Join us for a thought-provoking journey through folklore, history, culture, and the ever-changing landscape of the strange. Join us for this incredible conversation and so much more!
