Myth and Folklore Wiki

The World of Myths and Folklore is a website for cataloging, studying, and celebrating the various mythological traditions that have existed throughout humanity. Our goal is to create a website that serves as an open, easy access, and scholarly resource in the study of Mythology. We plan to fulfill this goal by creating accessible, easy to understand articles on mythology that are accurate and credibly sourced. Feel free to jump right in and begin adding material to existing articles or create new ones!

Featured Article



Porpoise Sal is a maritime folkloric entity found in legends of the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The legend is featured in the books Mysterious Tales of Coastal North Carolina by Sherman Carmichael in 2018 and The Flaming Ship of Ocracoke: & Other Tales of the Outer Banks by Charles Harry Whedbee in 1971.

Cape Lookout and the Shackleford Banks in North Carolina were the sites of the largest shore-based whaling stations south of New York. Between Cape Lookout and Shackleford Banks was the settlement of Diamond City, the largest town in the area with a permanent population of around 500.  The entire area was decimated by a hurricane in 1899, which led to the Shackleford Banks being abandoned.  The story of Porpoise Sal is part of local folklore to explain events that preluded the hurricane.

In the 19th century, a mysterious woman washed ashore on Diamond City, North Carolina. Whales fueled the economy of 19th Century America, and Diamond City was the most prominent whaling community in the Southern United States. During this time, whales were hunted to the brink of extinction. When fishermen discovered the strange woman, the only words she spoke was "The killing must stop." After she had been there for several weeks, people began to notice that every morning she could be seen swimming out in the waters. But she was never swimming alone. As soon as she waded into the water, a pod of dolphins would appear seemingly from nowhere and surround her. As spring whaling season approached, the woman became more troubled and kept repeating, "the killing must stop." Eventually, people began to assume she was talking about the whales. One day the woman told a fisherman, "You were warned" and then disappeared. Soon, a hurricane decimated the small town, leaving it completely destroyed. Today, nothing remains of Diamond City.
