Anxious At Bedtime

We're back! This special mini episode marks our return, and though it's shorter than usual, it's filled with something we all need right now: hope. Join us as we explore the mysterious and miraculous stories of the Butterfly People, angelic figures reported by survivors of the devastating Joplin tornado. Whether you believe in miracles or just need a reason to look for light in the rubble, this one's for you. 

This episode is lovingly dedicated to Katt Morris, Cash's mom. May she rest gently and be forever remembered. 

We would also like to make a correction. In the episode, Monica says the tornado was an E5. It was an EF5. 

We're heartbroken to share that Cash's mom is missing. She left her home around 1am without her phone, wallet, medications, or cane, and hasn't been seen since. We've shared all the missing person information on our social medias. If you're able to share or keep an eye out, it means the world. 

Thank you for understanding. We love you. We'll be back when we can. 

Is it just a game... or a gateway? In this episode of Anxious At Bedtime, we had our ChatGPT conjure eight terrifying tales of Ouija board encounters - each one darker, stranger, and more unsettling than the last. From cursed packages to whispering walls, nothing is off-limits once the planchette starts to move. So, light a candle, hold your breath, and don't forget to say goodbye. Because you never know who's listening.

In this chilling episode of our Ouija series, we're diving into the real stories - the ones that kept people awake at night long after the board was packed away. These aren't urban legends. These are firsthand accounts of Ouija board sessions that went way too far, encounters with entities that didn't leave when the game ended, and the lingering effects that followed.  From shadowy figures to ominous messages that came true, these tales might make you think twice before asking, "Is anyone there?" Spoiler alert, someone usually is.

Think you're ready to play with a Ouija board? In Part 2 of our deep dive, we're talking rules of the game, both the well-known ones and the ones whispered about in paranormal circles. We'll walk you through how to mentally and energetically protect yourself, and cleanse your space (and the board), and the worse places to break out the planchette. Plus, we get into the fascinating, and slightly chaotic, Blindfold Theory - is your subconscious the one spelling out messages, or is something else moving the planchette? Light a candle (or don't, idk), don't forget to say goodbye, and remember... we're probably fine.

In this first installment of our Ouija board series, we dive into the eerie history of the infamous sleepover seance tool. Learn how the board named itself, why the U.S. Patent Office believed it could talk, and how it sparked not one, but two intense family feuds. We'll tell you how the mysterious death of Ouija board mogul William Fuld was blamed on the board itself - and how its co-creator, Helen Peters Nosworthy went from being one of the board's biggest supporters to warning people of its powers. Grab your favorite blanket, light a candle, and remember: we're probably fine.

Surprise, surprise, we talk about poop and butts again. 

Step back into the unsettling world of historical medicine, where doctors prescribed tobacco smoke enemas for drowning victims, miracle weight loss pills packed a deadly punch, and teething babies endured the horrors of teeth lancing. But for all the bizarre and horrifying treatments, some medical experts of the past were surprisingly close to real breakthroughs, despite having no idea how things actually worked. Were they just lucky, or was there something eerily intuitive about their methods? Join us as we explore the fine line between medical madness and accidental genius.

Buckle up, because this is going to be a weird one.
