Drawing from his book Mysterious Creatures: The Truth Behind the Legends, Alderton looks at how folklore, natural history, fear, misunderstanding and real animals may have combined to create some of the world’s most famous legends. This conversation digs into why these creatures still fascinate us, including the possible real-world roots behind ancient myths, the role of wolves and disease in werewolf lore, how vampires moved from superstition into pop culture, and why Bigfoot remains such a compelling mystery in an age when photos and video are harder than ever to trust. It is a fascinating look at the line between legend and reality, and why some stories refuse to die.
