281-Grimm: Beyond the Grave

Two stories from the Grimm brothers with people going beyond death. On the first, it's a prince and princess who find love...after they swear a terrible and toxic oath to one another. On the second, if your guest sees ghost children in your house, maybe you should listen to them? The creature is the Leyak, a witch who likes munching on some human entrails and turning into a monkey with golden teeth. -- Scoundrel: If someone offers you a miracle tonic that's literally just heavily irradiated bottled water, don't take it! https://myths.link/scoundrel -- Sponsors: Helix Sleep: Go to https://HelixSleep.com/myths to take the quiz and for up to $200 off and 2 free pillows Indeed: Go to http://Indeed.com/LEGENDS to start hiring now.
