Hollow Hills
The old stories never truly died. They retreated—into the hollow hills, the mist-covered bogs, and the silence beneath ancient stones. This is where they resurface.
Hollow Hills explores the myths, forgotten religions, folklore, and ancient beliefs that shaped civilizations long before modern history. Not as isolated stories, but as pieces of the same human picture.
Every episode connects mythology, archaeology, history, language, and folklore to reconstruct how people once understood the world—and why those ideas still echo today.
The narration and visuals are AI-assisted so the research and storytelling remain the focus. Every detail is carefully researched. Every story is worth your time.
If the old world calls to you, follow the path.

She's been called a war goddess for so long that almost nobody remembers she was also a strategist, a prophet, and the reason one specific hero's story has an ending at all.
New video: the real Morrígan — the offer Cú Chulainn refused, the three forms she attacked him in, the trick that healed her, and why a crow ended up being all that survived of her.
Up now. 🖤🪶

You asked for Scotland. We went to Scotland. 🖤
Another video requested directly from the comments is now live and this time we’re going into the older, stranger Scotland beneath the familiar folklore.
The Baobhan Sìth. The Nuckelavee. Second sight. Brownies. Tam Lin. And a world where the supernatural didn’t live somewhere far away, it lived in the hill behind your house, the water beside the road, and sometimes inside the house itself.
Keep leaving your requests in the comments. I really am building future videos from them.

A few of you brought up elves in the comments on another video — and sent me down a rather large rabbit hole. So, thank you. 😄
Because elves used to receive sacrifices.
Now they make toys.
Somewhere between the Old Norse álfar, Anglo-Saxon elf-shot, Shakespeare, Tolkien, and Santa’s workshop, one of Europe’s oldest supernatural beings was made smaller, safer and eventually given a job.
The new Hollow Hills video is up: what elves were before we made them small.
And I have to ask: when you hear the word elf, what do you picture first?

The deeper I research mythology, the less it feels like "fiction" and the more it feels like a forgotten way of seeing the world.
What's one myth or piece of folklore that completely changed the way you think about history?
