Episode 3! AND we do our first 2 Parter... Not because we planned on it, but actually because we don't shut up when we are together, and decided to spare you a 2-hour episode (for now).  WARNING: If you don't like swearing, you're probably not going to like us. Ariel tells Andrea about the history and hauntings of Old Fort Niagara in Youngstown, NY over a box of wine. Ariel remembers her childhood and we unpack some personal thoughts on energy/spirits/ghosts and start planning our field trip to Old Fort Niagara. We test out our new technology - please spare us - remembering to talk into a microphone is hard - I promise we will get it next time - Maybe.
