Ep. 280: New Orleans Voodoo, Folklore, and the Paranormal: The Girl With Shark Teeth
Monday, 2 November, 2026
Historian and experiencer Stephanie returns to explore New Orleans voodoo, folklore, and the strange beings that appear in paranormal encounters across cultures. Historian, researcher, and experiencer Stephanie returns to Tinfoil Tales to explore the strange overlap between folklore, history, and modern paranormal encounters. Growing up with unexplained experiences eventually led Stephanie into academic research surrounding spiritualism, New Orleans voodoo, mediumship, folklore, and the historical accounts of people who claimed to interact with spirits and entities that weren't necessarily human. We discuss the strange beings that appear throughout different cultures, from fairies, goblins and little people to modern reports of pale crawlers, black-eyed kids, aliens and other humanoids. Are these completely different creatures, or have people throughout history been encountering the same phenomenon and simply interpreting it through the culture and beliefs of their time? The conversation also ventures into Kentucky's extensive cave systems, the Hopkinsville Goblins, Bigfoot, Dogman, ancient giants, thought forms, demons, alien abductions and the striking similarities between modern encounter reports and centuries-old stories of people being taken by the Fae. Stephanie also shares one of her most disturbing personal encounters. While attending college, she encountered what appeared to be a young girl standing at the top of a staircase after something physically pushed her down the steps. The child looked almost completely normal, except for her unusually dark eyes and a mouth filled with small, pointed teeth. The activity appeared connected to a string of beads her roommate had secretly placed beneath Stephanie's bed. We also discuss haunted objects, why museums may contain far more paranormal activity than most visitors realize, and the difficulty of labeling every unexplained entity as either a ghost or a demon. Sometimes the strangest part of these stories isn't that people continue seeing impossible things. It's how similar those things have been for hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of years.
