reading about racehorse names and im completely obsessed with the fact that we know of racehorses named things like "marcus." imagine going to the kentucky derby and one of the horses was just named dave

a lot of folk songs have fucked up murders in them but I think long lankin/lamkin/lankyn (child 93) has got to be one of the creepiest

some of the worst bits from the various versions of long lankin (as recorded in child):

tbh I think it's so interesting how you can see such similar story patterns in a lot of modern slasher movies/horror stories/urban legends. like it's very similar to a lot of stories my friends and I told each other at sleepovers when we were 12
