Episode 8: Witch In The West

July 06, 2020 16:46 - 50 minutes - 20.1 MB

Get out your pointy hats and broomsticks, because something wicked this way comes! Well, not here, but in Cameroon, where on a distant mountaintop something evil brews. We talk about the Nyongo society, the witches that terrorised the Bakweri people for decades. The fun continues with Ninki Nanka, the horned swamp dragon that may just be the strangest looking animal in history.  ***Find us*** Website: rashaliap.wixsite.com/legendary Instagram: legendarypod Twitter: @Legendarypod1 Music:...
