Keep warm through the polar vortex with this week’s exploration of stories of ghost dogs of the American South!
Creepypastas are horror-related legends or images that have been created via and copied and pasted around the Internet. The reason the Internet was invented was to share pictures of cats (probably). Let’s combine the two and talk about creepypastas about cats.
Last week we talked about well-known canine urban legends. This week, we take a look at how cats have gotten the short end of the urban myth stick, appearing as the villains in their own superstitions and legends.
Nothing says “Happy New Year!” like classic urban legends, right? Spine-tingling, look-over-your-shoulder-style urban legends (and one creepypasta), all featuring man’s best friend (though he isn’t always, as some of these stories can attest). Woof!
Happy holidays! This special Christmas episode of Are You Afraid of the Bark? explores animal myths and stories of the season: Yule Cat and Yule Goat and electric eels, oh my!

From bloodthirsty bats to giant skunks, this week’s episode of Are You Afraid of the Bark? explores some of the stranger (and some downright terrifying) animals of Aboriginal myth and legend.
Doesn’t matter where you run, doesn’t matter where you turn: the country you’re in is liable to have its own version of the demon dog legend. But don’t despair! If you’re polite and follow the rules...you might just survive.
Episode 14 delves into the weird world of elemental spirits, and the haunting of one Ballybrig Castle in Ireland. Thank goodness for a spunky little corgi named Pickle.
