Ever wanted to go ghost hunting, hang out in a coffin, and get married at the same time? We gotchu, boo. Join us this week as Taylor quizzes us about some bizarre New York laws (fuck the man, man!) and takes us off the beaten path to some unusual landmarks. Plus, we learn why Staten Island might actually be worth visiting.

Then, Shauna crushes our spirits with the disturbing, tragic tale of Steven and Katie Pladl. In 2015, a teenage girl reconnected with the parents who had given her up for adoption 17 years prior. Things seemed to be going really well — until suddenly, they weren’t. Buckle up, because this one’s a doozy.
