Welcome to
Sometime Between Dusk and Dawn Ghost Stories. This episode is written and produced by me, Jannette Quackenbush, with folklore drawn from many resources, including Uncle Remus Returns, Brer Rabbit and the Witch-Rabbit African
American folktales collected by Joel Chandler Harris and The Journal of American Folklore. There is more than just this podcast. You can buy my book series on Amazon and other bookstores.
Today’s story is Tailypo. An old woodsman finds there can be disastrous consequences when he takes something that does not belong to him.
The Y-City Cryptid Festival at Zane’s Landing Park in Zanesville, Ohio, is coming up on Saturday, October 14, 2023 from 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. This family-friendly event is a mix of cryptid creatures near Muskingum County and pop culture. There will be craft vendors, various other vendors, food trucks, art, a beer garden, and much more, including me with my books to sell. When most think of local cryptids, they think of Bigfoot or
Grassman. In years of old in Zanesville, this story was told around the hearth and based on old folklore of a creature called Tailypo and what happens if you take something that is not yours!
