Banshees and Booze

This is it, folks! After 5 years and an uncountable number of burps, Amie and Tami are signing off with this very special episode that brings us full circle. Our very first topic in episode 1 was Marylin Monroe, and for our final recording we rented a room in the place where Marylin had her very own suite and spent some of her happiest years: THE HOLLYWOOD ROOSEVELT! We talk Marylin's ghost, conspiracy theories about her death, and a lot about nachos. We wrapped up some loose ends with our remaining 50 States of Ghosts locations, and Tami finally get s to pay off a joke she set up like 2 years ago (it's the final episode and OU STILL SUCKS!). Our deepest thank you to all of our listeners who have kept us laughing and spooked us out for 162 episodes. We hope you enjoyed this as much as we did. And remember, if you see a ghost...

Ahhh... nothing like a sip of the old sock-strained garbage water at the end of a long day... This week is the first (and last!) ever WILD CARD episode! No rules, just right! Tami reads from a fascinating/depressingly still true article about folks discovering their home is haunted thanks to the quarantine. And Amie sneaks in the first lady appreciation of this Women's History month with the tale of a Mexican nurse ghost who has exposed our complete lack of Spanish language skills. They shouldn't have offered French in high school, ok??? All that, and yet another reason to put of your annual gyno appointment...

We're falling apart! Everything from desk disasters to figuring out we're too old for mesothelioma, this week's 50 States of Ghosts on PENNSYLVANIA has us humbled. Amie takes us through the ghost-hustlin' and generically-named Hill View Manor where they nickel and dime you into the grave... and beyond! And Tami talks cancer-causing flame-proofing at the Clifton 5 Theater. Hey, if it didn't burn down at least a few times, is it even an old-timey theater? idk, I'll have to ask my bestie, Mr. Gargoyle Peoples... he's on the list.

What's more macho than a loud-ass motorcycle? A loud-ass motorcycle blasting Footloose, of course! This week puts Tami's pregnancy hormones to the test when we discuss GHOST PETS!!! Tami learns what literally everyone apparently already knew about red cardinals and how they can be a sign of passed loved ones, and really brings the whole room down talking about a dead dog named Duckie. Amie brings us a variety of My Ghost Stories tales about pets, an upsetting number of which feature pets who have neglected to bring a few body parts with them from beyond. Give your fur babies some extra love tonight, and don't trust the establishment: what were the cops trying to hide about Duckie???

Thank goodness this is a podcast, because we are SICK of seeing our own faces these days! Luckily we've got a new face to distract us with our first in a very long time guest, Kyla! She is bringing us corn huskin' realness for our episode on NEBRASKA!! First, Amie tells us about a fellow spooky-inspired thespian who's had some creepy encounters at the Temple Theater in Lincoln, Nebraska. Wait, there's someone other than us who's got a theatre degree AND an interest in the paranormal? And Tami talks us through some cringey multi-generational action at the Cornerstone Mansion Bed & Breakfast in Omaha. And the highlight of this episode is the literal TON of spooky stories that Kyla shares about her own, and her childhood bestie's haunted AF Nebraska homes. Note to self: too many doors equal too damn ghosty!

Somebody call Kitty Protective Services, because these gals are crossing some boundaries! This week Tami and Amie watch and recap ghost shows, both new and old. Amie thirst-watches an episode of Ghost Brothers, where a family of four has to deal with hipster ghosts who don't consider 'Nsync worthy of vinyl. And Tami discovers the delightful Knock, Knock Ghost, where a group of gay Canadians joke and scream their way through a haunted fort. And, nbd, the Banshees are growing by two feet: Tami's having a baby! Stay tuned for her reluctant reviews of non-alcoholic drinks on future episodes, now that she's not lying through her teeth about it. Banshees and No Booze? This kid better be worth it...

We are living our morals and we are MAD about it! This week is another Fifty States of Ghosts, and we're definitely not entirely sure where it is or how to say it. MISSOURI! First we take a dip in the hot springs-adjacent Elm Hotel and Spa that just wouldn't stay burned down. And Amie tries to remember the Four Ts of ghost middle management at the Beattie Mansion. Check your deductible and don't kink shame the insurance industry!

Happy New Year, Sad Old Bullshit! This week, we're rubbin' one out for GENIES! Tami literally does NOT understand the assignment and does some rather impressive Wikipedia research on the fly, and Amie reads through a variety of real life genie/jinn stories that cover everything from bullying bullies to a jinn that puts its complaints in writing. Look, the internet had a stroke this week, and we're just hoping this was 2021 throwing one last fit on us. May all your lang synes be auld in 2022!

Happy Muppet Christmas Carol month! 'Tis the season for hanging out in airports, as we tackle HAUNTED MISSISSIPPI! Tami drinks a delicious tribute to Grandmama whilst being unable to say the name of a river in Meridian without laughing. And Amie introduces us to the weirdest house we've ever covered, The McRaven Mansion. This place has it all: highwaymen, temporary Civil War hospital status, and a pair of sisters that are #GrayGardensGoals. We may be desperate millennials with no hope of home ownership, but at least we don't live here.

Is it the most wonderful time of the year? Are there scary ghost stories? Check. Tales of the glories? Check. Are the aforementioned tales from Christmases long, long ago? BIG CHECK! Join us for a very special episode of CHRISTMAS GHOSTS! Amie shares some facts about the reason for the season (hint: it's witchy af), whilst wondering why the Victorians thought murderous frogs were festive. Tami reads a few ghost stories that have a touch of the Christmas spirit (do you get it???). Let's raise a glass to the downfall of peeping tom Santas and, as always, A Muppet Christmas Carol, because it just does the most. It DOES, doesn't it?
