422: Scottish folklore: Witchful Thinking

🧙‍♂️So you've decided to steal from a witch or wizard🧙‍♀️ Are you sure about that? If you are, you might want to think about what you're going to do more than the characters in today's stories from Scotland and Norway. Especially if, like them, you end up stealing way more than you bargained for.

😈 The Creature: ewaipanoma

The headless friends of all the children in South America. No you can't see them. Why would you even ask. Oh, you didn't? Well, you still can't see them.
