Listen Later

Happy gobble gobble week! We have a fun one for you this time. Janielle starts by telling first hand ghost stories from Native Americans living in the south west. From creepy visits, loving moments and full bodies apparitions. Then, Chelsea tells the history of the boy king that history tried to erase. King Tuts tomb brought about tons of history and artifacts along with a possible curse. Be careful when you disturb the dead!
