In this hilariously twisted episode of Tales of Bedlam, your hosts Micah and Dustin dive headfirst into Slavic folklore with The Demon’s Dance, a Polish tale packed with chaos, demons, and questionable life choices. When a whirlwind reveals itself to be a dancing demon, a bold peasant sees an opportunity to get rich by sacrificing his soul for gold, bacon, and a keg of brandy. Sounds fair, right?
Along the way, Micah and Dustin explore the deeper (or maybe not-so-deep) meanings behind holy knives, dry eddies, potato holes full of gold, and why you should always keep a silver button handy. Expect plenty of off-the-rails humor, food talk, and a finale that leaves you wondering, “Wait… what was the moral of that story?”
Whether you’re here for the folklore, the folklore-adjacent banter, or to find out what brandy bacon tastes like, The Demon’s Dance is a weird, wild ride you won’t forget.
