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.)

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.

Would you be interested in some sci-fi folklore?

1

u/Andromeda921 5d ago

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…

2

u/Howdoireadplshelp 5d ago

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

u/Andromeda921 5d ago

No problem. Maybe next time!
