    In this episode of Folklore and Bullshit, Amber and Keegan dive into the pirate legends of Florida's Amelia Island, exploring the eerie folklore surrounding Blackbeard and Captain Kidd. From ghostly sightings and buried treasure to voodoo curses, haunted marshes, and a headless pirate said to wander the shoreline, they separate history from legend while uncovering the fascinating stories behind two of piracy's most famous names. Along the way, they discuss surprising pirate facts, conspiracy theories, and share plenty of laughs and tangents that make folklore even more fun.
