This week we tackle the Legend of the Kushtaka – Tlingit lore that takes place around southern Alaska.

This shape-shifting, otter-like creature has been terrorizing people for centuries.

Could this Skinwalker-like creature be real or an old wise tale to keep children from wandering around at night?
