Show Notes

🕒 Runtime: 19m 39s | 📅 Air Date: December 15, 2025

🌞🩸 A vampire that hunts in broad daylight? In this chilling episode of The Shadow Frequency, we explore the Yara-ma-yha-who — a bizarre red-skinned predator from southeastern Australian Aboriginal folklore. Perched in fig trees, this creature ambushes travelers, drains them with sucker-like fingers, swallows them whole, and slowly transforms its victims into one of its own. Preserved through oral tradition and documented by Ngarrindjeri man David Unaipon, this legend warns that danger doesn’t always lurk in the dark. 👁️🌿
