Great job! Enjoyed this one!
Nice to see you Anna loved the vidoe and music and loved the story and narrative can't wait for the next one you have a great voice Anna can't wait for more
I'm so excited! I was just browsing your channel wondering why I hadn't seen any notifications from you in a while, and then you popped up!
Nice to see you Anna, Cool production .👍👍🍀
Happy to see you continue bringing us more insight on the rather nebulous parts of life 😀
I've missed you! 💕
I'm so glad you're back! check out the lore of the Battletown Witch (Kentucky). I'll bet you'd make an awsome video.
this is unrelated to this video but I'm fascinated by folklore even more than mythology, and researching folkloric creatures and concepts online is a hobby of mine. I wish to write a book one day in the future incorporating Scandinavian folklore, so I especially appreciate your Nordic playlist. Thanks for making these videos!
Your grey eyes match the fog so well. The rough black cloak is very complementary.
This was great. This one and the Black Agatha are the best..
Welcome back!
very informative in all my years studying I'd not heard of Lych ways or knew their purpose, I wonder if the belief could be in some way related to an idea found in various parts of the world of special roads or trackways reserved for the spirits of the dead, rather like the lych ways described but for the dead to travel in spirit rather than physical form
