A World Myth, Legend & Superstition Project 🌍
A World Myth, Legend & Superstition Project 🌍
I'm curious about the stories humanity tells itself.
I'd love to collect myths, legends, folklore, ghost stories, superstitions, creatures, omens, and old sayings from every culture and every corner of the world. My goal isn't to prove or disprove anything—I'm simply interested in seeing whether certain themes, symbols, or beliefs appear independently across different cultures.
Please share:
Your country or culture (only if you're comfortable).
A myth, legend, superstition, or traditional belief.
Whether people still believe it today or if it's mostly considered folklore.
If you know the story behind it, I'd love to hear that too.
All cultures, religions, and traditions are welcome. Please be respectful of one another. Whether your story comes from family tradition, Indigenous knowledge, local folklore, or something your grandparents always warned you about, I'd love to learn.
I'll also post some common themes in the comments (dragons, flood myths, little people, tricksters, lucky objects, spirits, eclipses, etc.) so people can add their culture's version beneath them.
Thank you for helping build a small collection of the world's stories. ❤️
