She turned me into a newt!

Hello, the Internet! I have an important and pressing question for you: What's your favorite weird folktale or fairytale or legend or myth? Bonus points if you can tell me why you like it so much!

I don't know if I have a favorite, personally - there are so many strange stories, and I love them all. I really like stories that involve transformations, and unexpected weirdness (boxes full of demons, random turns in the story, sudden magic objects, that sort of thing). So, that's rather a cop-out answer to my own question, but it's true! Also, choosing favorite things is hard for me. There are so many awesome things to like (which is why I hope you'll share the ones you like, so I can be ever more indecisive).

I've been listening to a lot of Heather Dale lately (and you should too!), and I'm thinking of writing a story based on the myth of Sedna (especially because Sedna is also a trans-Neptunian object, and that's just really neat, and presents many opportunities for mischief).

Anywho, here is Heather Dale's Sedna. Enjoy!
