    Legends 48: Oh Deer

    Roaming around a small wooded corner of folklore are four-legged creatures that might not be what they seem. These legends hold a lot of danger…and maybe something darker.

    Narrated and produced by Aaron Mahnke, with writing by Alex Robinson and research by Cassandra de Alba.
