The Godyssey Podcast<p>You'll smell it before you see it: elusive and stealthy, the Boggy Creek monster has stalked the area around Fouke and Texarkana since at least the 1940s, stealing food and attacking people who enter its realm.

Bevan Thomas<p>Many ways have been suggested for spotting the Devil as he wanders in disguise. Some legends say that any form he takes still has horns or at least one hoofed foot. Others say that Satan's breath has an intense smell - either it stinks of decay or is strangely sweet.<br>🎨 Will Simpson</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/WyrdWednesday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WyrdWednesday</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Superstitiology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Superstitiology</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/31DaysofHaunting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>31DaysofHaunting</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Folklore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Folklore</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Mythology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mythology</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Satan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Satan</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Devil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Devil</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Demon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Demon</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Demonology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Demonology</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Comics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Comics</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/GraphicNovel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GraphicNovel</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Hellblazer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hellblazer</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/JohnConstantine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JohnConstantine</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/GarthEnnis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GarthEnnis</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/WillSimpson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WillSimpson</span></a></p>
