Umbral Fables
Welcome to Umbral Fables, your archive of the world's most obscure myths and forgotten stories.
We pull back the veil on the folklore you haven't heard. While others focus on the gods you know, we explore the shadows—from the ancient forest spirits of Slavic legend and the unsettling river demons of Japan to the hidden tales of the South American jungles.
This is a channel for listeners. A place for deep lore and atmospheric storytelling.
