221-Chinese/Scottish folklore: The Great Beyond

221-Chinese/Scottish folklore: The Great Beyond

This week, there are two stories about death and what comes next, from China and Scotland. On the first, a lonely fisherman meets an odd man down by the river with a strange plan for his life. On the second, a stablehand helps out two strangers who stop by his tavern for the night...and discovers a terrifying secret.

The creature is an epic hero with oiled pecs who is doing his best to keep everyone in the world alive.
