Spooky Season, Round 2! This week, Emily kicks us off with a story of murder and mystery, witchcraft and German spies - the story of Bella and the Wych Tree. Then, Rachel talks about the Winchester Mystery House - a bizarre architectural wonder built by Sarah Winchester  the widow of firearms magnate William Wirt Winchester.  For 40 years she added on to the house to try to placate the ghosts that haunted her cursed family.  Hopefully, you're horrified.
