Episode 19 - Scary Stories

A special thank you to everyone who voted in my Instagram stories to select the theme of episode 19 - scary stories. This episode is a two parter: the first focuses on me sharing my own personal scary stories (both spooky and real world situations) and the second part covers some of the most well known Central & South American folklore. I share some brief history and origins of El Chupacabra, La Llorona and El Cucuy.
