The Legend of the Kushtaka

This week we tackle the Legend of the Kushtaka - Tlingit lore that takes place around southern Alaska. This shape-shifting, otter-like creature has been terrorizing people for centuries. The most prominent encounter, occurring way back in 1900, comes from Harry Colp and his story, “The Strangest Story Ever Told,” involving his fellow prospector friend, Charlie (no relation to Believing the Bizarre co-host) and his horrifying experience at Thomas Bay. Could this Skinwalker-like creature be real or just an old wise tale to keep kids from wandering around at night? Listen now to find out!
