Summary

Welcome to Episode 211: Neanderthal on a Stick aka the Belarusian Bigfoot! Belarus is a landlocked country with a rich history and even richer folklore. Famous for its flat terrain with over 11,000 lakes and 20,000 rivers, the country is perhaps best known for its vast forests which cover about 40% of the nation. Inside these forests and bodies of water, a multitude of folkloric entities are known to lurk, such as: Leshy, rusalki, hartsuks, zheuzhyk, Lazavik, Zlydzens, and much, much more. But in August of 2012, a Belarusian man named Alexander met with something that left him altogether puzzled. Join us as we learn about the “Neanderthal on a stick” aka “The Belarusian Bigfoot”.
