💀 Deadly Legends Await… 💀

This week on That Would Be Rad, we’re plunging into the dark waters of folklore to uncover two of the most terrifying aquatic legends from across the world: Scotland’s Kelpie and Japan’s Kappa.

🌊 A beautiful horse standing by the water’s edge… but once you touch it, you’ll never escape.
🇯🇵 A strange, turtle-like trickster lurking beneath the surface… hungry for something you’ll never get back.

These creatures aren’t just myths—they’re warnings.

Stories of deception, danger, and things lurking just beyond our understanding. From the flesh-fusing grasp of the Kelpie to the bone-chilling thirst of the Kappa, we’re breaking down their origins, real-world connections, and the eerie ways these legends still haunt us today.

⚠️ Why did ancient cultures create these terrifying stories?
⚠️ What horrifying truths might be hidden in these myths?
⚠️ And… what happens if you actually encounter one?

Strap in, folks—this episode is a wild ride!
