In between regular seasons, Emily and Jennifer have a couple stories that break our regular pattern. Here's our first: Emily and a Special Guest Jen get down to the bottom of ghosts...in more ways than one.

In the very focused episode of ALL THINGS TERROR, Emily and Jenn wrap up the season, talk about what is to come, how dangerous driving is and how many concussions Emily has had.

Bringing the season full circle, Emily talks about the French Revolution as a whole and Jenn talks about Pazuzu, the demon and the human.
