#FolkloreThursday The Hidebehind of American folklore is a vicious, man-eating creature that stalks the forests forests, hiding behind the nearest tree whenever their victim turns to look back. It was blamed for the unexplained disappearance of lumberjacks and others in the woods
The Mongo people speak of the Biloko (Eloko in singular) dwarf-like creature of the Congo River forests who are hairless, clawed creatures covered in grass with mouths big enough to eat a human. The spirits of ancestors who hold grudges, they are treacherous. #FolkloreThursday
Robin Hood and Little John
Walkin' through the forest
Laughin' back and forth
At what the other'ne has to say
Reminiscin', This-'n'-thattin'
Havin' such a good time
Oo-de-lally, Oo-de-lally
Golly, what a day
Song from Robin Hood

The German love of mysterious forests runs deep. So when Romanticism hit, the Grimms turned to Germany’s Black Forest for inspiration. Nearly 200 km of dense, pine forest made it a perfect setting for enchanted fairy tales. 💫🌲#FolkloreThursday

Limos, the goddess of famine, breathed into Erysichthon's mouth and cursed him with insatiable, inhuman hunger. Why? Because he cut down a dryad's tree. This killed the dryad. He ended up eating himself. The gods don't play.
