What Gives Kids the Creeps? Children as Keepers of Fear Folklore
Show Notes

In this episode, we will consider how children imagine themselves in relation to the invisible, the supernatural, and the spooky. Along the way, we’ll ask: how do children describe their encounters with fear, with terror, or with the supernatural? How do adults remember their childhood fears? What are some of the stories and legends young people share when it comes to the otherworldly? And what are toilet ghosts?
