Let there be fun! We've got a wild ride for you this week as we virtually travel to the southern hemisphere. First Em covers the extremely haunted and messed up Aradale Mental Hospital in Australia. Then Christine takes us over to New Zealand for the also extremely messed up Bain Family murders in Dunedin. We're also pretty sure there's a dancing candelabra involved in both... and that's why we drink!

True crime

It's episode 375 and we've got a choose your own adventure of reasons to drink this week. Today Em brings us the holy grail of haunted houses, the Merchant's House in Manhattan. Then Christine takes us to Utah and into the world of mommy vloggers to kick off her two-parter on Ruby Franke/8 Passengers. Tune in next week and we'll hopefully have all our teeth and no creepy garden statues... and that's why we drink!

E375 Joann's Haberdashery and Ghost Logic

It's episode 374 and are technical issues bringing us closer together? We're so sorry, YouTube Boozers and Shakers, for the lag (we edited the audio separately so you won't hear the same overlapping issues there). We're making up for it with a new Compliment Christine segment. This week Em takes us way, way back to the origins and dark side of nursery rhymes. Then Christine covers the more recent Polish case of Krystian Bala. And has Em just dubbed Christine the "Princess of Pronouns"? ...and that's why we drink! 

We wrote a second book! Pre-orders are open and super important for our ratings so treat yourself to our second spooky travel compendium, A Haunted Road Atlas: Next Stop here - http://bit.ly/HRANextStop

E374 A Big Queer Door and The Mulberry Bush of the Year

Welcome to April Ghouls: Two Boos and a Lie! This year for April Fool's Eva is bringing us some ghoulish energy and we're terrified. She has artisanally, hand selected two listener stories about "ladies in white", written a third herself and challenged Em and Christine to figure out which one is the imposter story. What impending foolishness! Can you pick the fake? ...and that's why we drink!

Don't miss our very last On the Rocks live shows in Milwaukee, Minneapolis and Los Angeles!

Listener Stories: Vol. 90

It's episode 373 and our other car is a hoop and stick! Who else is feeling the butterflies of putting a new project out into the universe? Christine and her Etsy shop can relate (link below). This week Em takes us to Sudbury, Massachusetts (where we may or may not be currently driving through) to bring us the haunted tales of the Longfellow's Wayside Inn. Then Christine covers the wildly divisive and heartbreaking case of Anthony Broadwater and Alice Sebold. And don't forget to moisturize from the inside out... and that's why we drink!

Check out Christine's Etsy store and treat yourself to that hoop and stick bumper sticker you've always wanted! thextinefiles.etsy.com

E373 The Thirsty Little Rat Inn and the Coowoo Girls

It's episode 372: we've done some soul searching and we just don't like hot tomatoes, OK?! This week Em brings us creepy tales from King's Tavern in Natchez, Mississippi, which may involve some "light" possession. Then Christine covers the gut-wrenching case of the murder of Seath Jackson. And don't forget your weekly reminder to drink some water, you thirsty little rats... and that's why we drink!
