On this episode of Talking Strange, host Aaron Sagers explores the haunting true crime and paranormal story behind Blood & Myth, the new Hulu original documentary now streaming. Aaron speaks with Blood & Myth director Kahlil Hudson and author/executive producer James Dommek Jr.about the violent crimes that shook a remote Native village in Northern Alaska, and the chilling possibility that they were connected to ancient legends of the Inukuns, mysterious “little people” long feared in Inupiaq culture. At the center of the story is Teddy Kyle Smith, a respected Inupiaq actor turned fugitive, who claimed he was driven to violence after a terrifying encounter with the Inukuns in the Alaskan wilderness. Through the eyes of James Dommek Jr., Blood & Myth investigates whether this was madness, myth, or something more sinister where true crime and folklore collide. In this interview, Aaron and his guests discuss the challenges of telling a story that balances Native oral traditions, chilling folklore, paranormal mysteries, and the tragedy of real crimes. If you’re fascinated by true crime documentaries, paranormal encounters, Alaskan legends, or the intersection of folklore and reality, you won’t want to miss this conversation.
