When a person dies, the Diné believe the good in them moves on — and everything else stays behind. It gathers in that last breath, steps out of the body, and waits. It's called the chindi, and the wise thing, the safe thing, is to leave the dead alone: their homes, their names, the things buried with them. Wade Corliss dug where he was warned not to. He carried something home from a death hogan out in the red-rock country — and it followed him. This week on Freaky Folklore, we walk carefully into a living Diné tradition to talk about ghost sickness, whirlwinds that turn the wrong way, and the price of taking what was never yours. Leave the dead alone. Some of them don't stay that way. 🎧 Part of the Eeriecast Network — eeriecast.com #FreakyFolklore #Chindi #NavajoFolklore #Diné #GhostSickness #Folklore #FolkloreHorror #ScaryStories #HorrorPodcast #Paranormal #Creepy #Eeriecast #Southwest #FourCorners #TrueHorror #HauntedHistory #PodcastCommunity EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT:FreakyFolklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folkloreCarman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://www.carman-carrion.com/Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://www.carman-carrion.com/Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terrorSUPPORT THE SHOW:Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrionCONNECT WITH CARMAN:Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrionYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@FreakyFolkloreTwitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/SUBSCRIBE& REVIEW:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQYiTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184Yoursupport helps bring you more terrifying tales.DISCOVERMORE HORROR:http://eeriecast.com/https://www.carman-carrion.com/MUSICCREDITS:Music andsound effects provided by: ElevenLabs Learn more about your ad choices.
