Sudanese Folktale: Fatna And The Ghoul
Episode 86
Sunday, 25 May, 2025
Today's story is a special one from Sudan. Hana Baba, from the podcast "Folktales from Sudan", tells us a story of how a clever girl named Fatna finds herself face-to-face with a terrifying ghoul, it’s not strength or speed that saves her - it’s her wit. Every night, Mohamed returns home from work singing a special tune - one only his sister, Fatna, would recognize. It’s their routine, their safety. But one night, someone else is singing that same song. For more stories from Hana, check out her podcast - https://www.folktalesfromsudan.org/2450082I hope you enjoy this piece of our history.
