1-03: Diary of a Toilet Ghost


Listen Later

Welcome to the Port Phenomenoes – a Port Washington podcast brought to you by a Skeptic, a Believer, and a Blank Slate. Episode 3 is finally here and folks do we have a fully loaded episode for you – jump scare included! With a healthy fear of mirrors on our side, we get deep into the Urban Legend of Bloody Mary. She’s everyone’s favorite toilet ghost to summon...but is she also the most relatable?

In this episode we look at possible identities of Mary, if mirrors are actually doors, and if there’s really a bit of Mary in all of us. Here to keep your Sunday Scaries at bay – we give you a multitude of jokes, rabbit hole tangents, and a special ‘on brand’ drink from Fisch (for our 21+ listeners).
