More Than Myths

Hello Curious Friends! We’ve missed you all so much and we’re happy to be back! We have a lot to catch up on and talk about today! First, let’s talk about The Matrix, and the glitches that might occur there. Hailie shares some very startling experiences where people experienced a glitch in the matrix. These stories range from baby trees, to washing machines and we try to break down what is going on in each one. Then Corrine introduces us the Snow Siren - or Yuki-onna, also known as the The Cold Lady. She is a very full spectrum yōkai and Corrine tells us everything we need to know, how she presents herself and all the ways she claims her victims as well as if she can be escaped. 

Hello & Welcome Curious Friends! This is your podcast hosts speaking, please remain seated and grab a cozy drink because we're going to be taking off with this episode being all about things that fly! Corrine starts us off with the most widely known UAP sighting in 1997 in Arizona, the Phoenix Lights. Can it be debunked, or not? Then Hailie is talking about something that also flies, dragons! She covers different stories and types of dragons from around the globe as well as all throughout time! 

Welcome! Grab a cozy cup of something and settle in. First up - Hailie has a story about a doll, not just any doll, the story about Annabelle an innocent-looking Raggedy Ann doll that is anything but. It's a spooky and chilling story, but don't worry Corrine warms us up with some interesting facts about the different celebrations of Winter Solstice from around the world. So snuggle in, and thanks for being here. 

Hello curious friends! Welcome to another episode of More Than Myths. This week Corrine talks to us about a light haunting in Oklahoma at the 1903 Henry and Anna Olverhoser Mansion. Who was the Olverhoser family and why is their mansion so significant to the area? Then Hailie gives us an update on some of the amazing discoveries that have happened over the last two weeks in Egypt and a look back at the discovery of King Tut as we approach the 100-year anniversary of his tomb being found.

Welcome Curious Friends! Thanks for coming to hang out with us! This week Corrine did find a scary spaghetti she wanted to share - but found out she couldn't so instead she found some scary last-minute ghost stories and you get our real raw Gary reactions to them because they're ones we've never heard and they are full of blech and a bunch of nope. Please make sure your pants are nice and buckled because Hailie tells us all about Mystery Cave and the wild utterly terrifying things that Ted and his friend B experienced back in 2001 while trying to explore a cave system. Does something follow them home? Or is it all just a scary spaghetti? Stick around and find out. 

Welcome to More Than Myths. This episode in honor of our favorite haunted holiday we've got some spooky tales today. Hailie starts us off by telling us about a haunted wine cabinet that was bought at an estate in the early 2000s and the whole story behind what happened to the people that would come to own this dybbuk box over the years. Then, Corrine has all the details about a werewolf or a reptilian-type creature, we aren't really sure. Does it move like a kangaroo? What we do know for sure is that the chupacabra sucks the blood from its prey and was initially sited in the mid-'90s. We've got this and so much more - we hope you enjoy and have a safe and Happy Halloween!

SURPRISE! We finally got our Spooky Special to load!! We've got a few myths we're clearing up - but then we get into some spooky tales we've either experienced firsthand - or shared while having a sleepover on the trampoline. We've got a man with a hook - a dog named Charlie - and a calendar that lifts off the wall without human help. We hope you enjoy our first spooky special curious friends and that you're having a really good spooky season!  

This week we're talking about aliens in cornfields. No. We're not, but don't get carried away and accidentally kick people when you're going through a corn maze thinking they might be an alien. 

We're going back to Troy and this week we're going to introduce you to two of the important players in the entire story of Troy. Helen, a beautiful woman born of a mortal woman and the king of the gods, and Achilles, who as a baby was dipped in the Styx.  How did Helen & Paris finally end up meeting, and what horrible things happen in the wake of her abduction or willingly leaving even in those early days before the Trojan war? 

Hello Curious Friends! This episode is a special one. We've got Corrine's dad, Corbin, with us. It's been almost one year exactly since he told us all about his vampire hunting days and we're so excited to have him back.  This week he's telling us two stories. Both are startling, and scary, if not a little upsetting. One about another hotel we'll never go to after hearing about what happened to him there while on a business trip and another about an area you can still visit today if you're in the Boise area. We'll just leave it at that. 

Welcome curious friends! We’re continuing this spooky season with vampires that disguise themselves sometimes as water fowl and the famous Bell Witch Haunting. Don’t worry, Hailie gets the years right this time!

Welcome back to the beginning of Spooky Season and another episode of More than Myths. We're just going to  jump right in with two scary stories - but scary for very different reasons. Hailie starts us off with the story about the Two Lions of Tsavo. What happened in 1898  (not 1989 like Hailie accidentally kept saying) during those nine terrifying months while John Patterson was there trying to finish construction of the railroad? Then we switch to a different kind of scary and Corrine tells us about Helltown, your abandoned, run-of-the-paper mill kind of place, but it's got some really spooky things there. The Bus. Crybaby Bridge. The Road to Nowhere and so much more. Corrine's got all the details about this ghost town, so buckle up your pants, grab your popcorn, a good strong drink, a pup or two to snuggle, and take a listen. 

Welcome Curious friends! We're getting into another part of Troy this week to finish off our Welcome Back to Season Two celebration! This week, Corrine takes us to the beginning of a young princes life, how he was saved by an unlikely animal and would grow up on the slopes of Mount Ida. There are two gods that would see him lounging in the sun and would decide to play a prank on him that would change the course of this young man's life forever. 

Welcome to Season Two! This season we're going to be doing a deep dive into the story of Troy. It is going to cover the entirety of season two and we'll be releasing an episode, especially about Troy once a month. For our first episode, we're going way back to before Troy was even founded to learn about how it came to be and all about the people that were cursed, and how it doomed the city from the start. 

Hello Curious friends! Today's episode is a little different. We're doing a year in review and asking each other some questions about the past year we've been producing More Than Myths. We dive deep episode and you're going to find out who Hailie and Corrine are as doughnuts and what their favorite parts of the past year have been. We can't thank all of you enough for sticking with us for an entire year and we appreciate you all so much for being here! 

Hey Curious Friends! Uncle B is back in the More Than Myths house and we are starting the grand tale of Ragnarok. In this episode we are going to talk about Loki's three children (the less popular ones) and what was done to them to make Loki go all Gossip Girl on the Gods. This uncomfortable dinner party is filled with non-stop insults, family drama and infidelity that it would put most soap operas to shame. You don't want to miss this weeks episode, grab a drink and your popcorn for this one. 

Hello curious friends! Welcome to the latest Norse Corner with our favorite Uncle B. It's been far too long, and we're so glad he's back with more stories from Norse Mythology. Today he's diving into some stories we need to know for the road we're headed down, just to fill in our knowledge. He's got information about some really nice-looking feet, a box of impressive apples, an acorn and so much more. Buckle up your pants, it's a tangent-filled ride. 

Welcome to another week of More Than Myths - we can't thank you enough for being here. 

Corrine starts us off with a tale about a man from Medan, but titles can be deceiving and this one sure is. Were there ghosts, or sea monsters, or even aliens that might have caused this event? Or could it have been something scientifically explained? It's an unsolved mystery and we want to stress its "unsolvedness" because it really makes you wonder - what actually might have happened? 

Then Hailie finished the story of Cleopatra's life. We find out what happened to Antony and Cleopatra in their last few years from wars to donations and where things may have gone wrong for the powerful couple as well as what ancient writers tell us happened to them in the end. 

Welcome to another week of More Than Myths, curious friends! Thanks for letting us sail straight into your ear holes and hearts with this brand-new episode! We've got a second parter for you on both accounts. 

Corrine has so much more information about Hailie's favorite - corpse candles, but they also go by a name that we are more familiar with. They might be in league with fairies, but they seem to generally be up to no good. She's got stories ranging from St. Peter not letting a man into heaven (twice!) all the way around to hinkypunks. 

Then Hailie gets into the next chapter of Cleopatra's life. There is talk of Rome and the men that are running the show there and how they have an impact on Cleopatra's life. We discuss her famous meeting with a man in Tarsus and how they started a drinking club. There's also a marriage and the birth of twins. 

Hello, all of our curious friends! Welcome to another week of More Than Myths! We're ready to rock and roll this episode up into a rug.  

Corrine kicks it off with something we might have thought we knew, but Disney definitely got it wrong. She tells us all about Will o' the-wisps, what that name actually means, what they are (again, it's not what you think), and how many variations there are depending on where you are in the world. 

Then Hailie takes us back (again) to ancient Egypt to tell us about Queen Cleopatra. Who was she really? What was her early life like and what events happened in her life leading up to her becoming Pharaoh? We've got all this and so much more! We hope you love this episode as much as we do! Thanks for being here! 

Welcome Curious Friends! Thanks for joining us. This week we've got some really dark fairy tales from the Brothers Grimm. These aren't for the faint of heart - be forewarned. First Hailie tells us the story of The Fitchers Bird and how one young girl outwits an evil sorcerer and saves her sisters. The next story is The Juniper Tree, in which Hailie hopes that if she says the story fast enough it won't be so bad. Believe us, it doesn't help. Then Corrine recounts the love story of Iphis and Ianthe. She tells us about a mother's love, a secret that is kept for years between mother and daughter, and how the goddess Isis steps in to help. 

Hello curious friends! Thanks for joining us! We've got another dive into the Popol Vuh this week, learning about Seven Macaw. Was he really as great as he thought himself to be? We're also introduced to the hero twins who play a significant part in the remainder of the story - Hunahpu & Xbalanque. They take it upon themselves to deal with Seven Macaw and his two sons with the help of their grandparents, some fake crab, and a poisoned chicken. 

Have you ever woken up to a clean house and some fresh-baked bread? We haven't either, but if you have, it might be the work of an adorable house-elf, called a brownie! What did they look like and how can we go about getting and keeping a brownie happy? What happens when a brownie gets angry? We've got this and so much more, so buckle up your pants for this newest episode. 

Welcome, curious friends! We are excited about this episode because not only is it a full-mouth salad, but it's about topics we have been looking forward to sharing with you, so grab a cocktail or a warm beverage and snuggle in. 

First, let's talk mermaids. What is their history? Where can they be found? Should you take a chance and take that treasure you find on a deep-sea dive? We discuss this and so many more reasons why we don't go into the ocean. 

Then we're off to Central America and the creation story of the Quiché-Maya people. We learn a little about the translation and why it was needed. We talk about the primordial world, who was there, and the attempts that were made to create humans. 

Welcome back, curious friends! We hope you enjoy this fresh baked episode because it is piping hot! Hailie talks to us about a tower in Wyoming that is sacred, some interesting facts about it's geology, as well as some of the sacred oral histories that have been passed down from the Native Americans that reside in this area. Then Corrine takes us all the way back to Episode Two, and she has so much more to tell us about the lost civilization of Lumeria. How did they govern themselves, how did they live, as well as some information about a secret agent. Enjoy! 

Welcome back to another Norse Corner with Uncle B! We're so excited about today's episode. It is chock-full of goat drawn chariots, arms, and yarn socks. Grab your favorite coffee, tea, or horn of mead and get cozy because Uncle B's here to tell us about Thor's family, his weaponry, and the time that Thor had a hard time picking up a house cat. 

Have we got a box of chocolates episode for our curious friends this week! What goes better with a box of chocolates than chatting about love at first sight! This week Corrine tells us all about the heart, love AND reads us some poetry! She’s also got some of the science behind how your brain plays a really important role in creating the love at first sight feeling. Do you believe in love at first sight? Then Hailie comes in peace because she’s talking about Corrine’s favorite subject and it‘s gonna be split into multiple parts (which is NOT Corrine’s favorite thing). Hailie tells us about the well documented alien abduction experience of Betty and Barney Hill during 1961 that took place as they were driving home from a week long getaway with their cute weenie dog Delsey. 

Welcome to another Myth-stakes episode where Corrine & Hailie correct wrong sayings and doings. This round we are catching up after taking a long break from Myth Checking ourselves! Tune in this week as we cover Episodes 21-28 and clarify the things we missed or asked while we interrupted each other for the 10,000th time. 

Welcome! We’ve got quite the episode for our curious friends this week so buckle up your pants! We’re going back to ancient Egypt to learn all about cats. How did they become so important? Why did the Egyptians think so highly of them and why was an illegal underground cat trade started? We’ll answer those questions and so much more. Then we’re traveling back down to the seven circles of hell to finish learning about the remaining six princes that Corrine started to cover last week, who's who, and what they each represent. Were they just ideals to make people feel small, or as Hailie & Corrine discuss, are there still important aspects to keep in mind regarding these seven demon princes?
