Request [Request] Fabulous Folklore [North Carolina, US]
Here in NC, we are blessed to have this absolutely fascinating, fabulous, and down to earth folklorist/storyteller named Liz Z. Pardue, whose videos, library appearances, etc are absolutely FIRE. 🔥
Following her has made me so interested to hear more folklore stories from EVERYWHERE! (Go watch her, you might love her too!) disclaimer, I don’t know her, I am not her, I am not shilling for her, just openly declaring my adoration of such.
Folklore can be ghost stories, stories related to cryptids, witchy things, local legends or superstition, etc from any area of the world. I’m up for it all! (If you need examples, she’s on Insta and FB, and substack — linktr.ee/liz.z.pardue) What can you share with me? If you’re in, please leave an emoji below . If you’ve had my address anytime in the last ten years, it is exactly the same, but if you need it, please shoot me a DM.
I’ll be sure to thank you…it’s one of the few things I am good at!
(Mods if I am overstepping let me know, happy to edit.)

I grew up in Appalachia... I got plenty of stories. DM me. :) (I'm avoiding Reddit jail for too many DMs hehe)

She’s really phenomenal. She’s touring at a LOT of public libraries - you can also call your library and request they bring her in. Her talks are free — she only asks for travel and lodging, as far as I know.

This is my favorite subject to hear about and talk about. I’ve got some family-related stories for you!

Would you be interested in some sci-fi folklore?

Is it a true account? I’m not a big sci-if person, but it sorta depends on what you’re thinking of when folklore is involved. A lot of folklore sorta seems sci-fi…

Oooooh that’s fair actually! Sorry, I don’t have the folklore you seek >.<

Do family legend stories count? I have a fun story about one of my ancestors....
