Boos & Bourbon - The Podcast

Jen & Kim get inspired by the Great Amherst Mystery, which was and still is the most well-known and thought-provoking true story of poltergeist activity in Canada. Those who know the story may not know all of the details which the ladies uncover or even the compelling personality of a traumatized young woman, Ester Cox. Ester was completely tormented by something in the same province where Jen & Kim live, but almost 150 years ago. Is it true that the ghost who haunted Ester carved her name in her bedroom wall, or stabbed her in the back twice (with the same knife) into the same wound in 1878? And was it really Ester who burned down the barn? 

This episode includes excerpts from the book "The Great Amherst Mystery" written by Walter Hubbell. 

In this episode, Jen fills you in on what's been going on in her world while Kim is filming another season of Haunted. We also discuss this true paranormal story that happened to us when we were investigating a place in January of 2021. Our friend and director, Dillon Garland will tell you personally the most intriguing story about how his grandfather who passed in 2006 came to visit us all, and how this shaped Dillon's paranormal journey. There was something exceptionally magical about that place where we met Edna... The Boscawen Inn in Lunenburg, NS left us equally on edge, scared, but oddly at home thanks to our gracious host. 

Podcast Episode Description: In this episode, Jen and Kim discuss some pretty compelling haunted funeral homes. From an abandoned mausoleum to stories from mortuary sciences student's personal accounts, you have to wonder why a ghost would want to stick around in such a place. While we were doing some research for this episode, we found out that My Way by Frank Sinatra is the number one requested song at funerals. Towards the end of the show we give undeniable thanks for your support over the last 2 and a half years.

In this week's episode, Kim and Jen cover the history, mystery and hauntings of one of America's most haunted homes. The Whaley House first of all was built on gallows and a graveyard, so that in itself makes for a haunted foundation. After the Whaley's had a lifetime of despair within the home and shortly after they died, the house became more and more haunted. Also, what's up with the staircase? Kim sips on Distillery 477's Tower 56 Bourbon. Enjoy! 

In this episode, Jen gets inspired to dive into researching some interesting ghost stories of Scotland. There seems to be many old ghosts who roam some old homesteads and castles, but have you heard of the Headless Horseman of Dun? Dun Dun Dun, it's a scary one! The ladies live in a small Canadian province named Nova Scotia, which is latin for New Scotland, so they thought it was fitting to sip on a Nova Scotian whisky that got into some trouble with the Scots regarding its name and how it cannot be called a Scotch. 

In this episode, Jen and Kim discuss what goes bump in the night at theatres. After investigating one themselves for season 5 of Haunted, they can safely say they found at least one ghost. The ladies take you behind the scenes and describe what happened during this investigation and how it can relate to another haunted theatre. The New Amsterdam Theatre on Broadway. While getting creeped out the ladies sip on and review 1792 Bottled in Bond.

Back in December of 1956, Dr Perelson put down his book, grabbed a ball peen hammer and murdered his wife with it. Then he moved onto his daughter Judye's room. She heard the commotion and prevented her father from killing her. When the police arrived, they found the doctor overdosed on drugs and dead. The house was pretty much abandoned since then, and has been littered with ghost stories. That's where Kim and Jen come in... From ghosts ringing doorbells and screams in the dark, this place has so many stories attached to it. The ladies sip on one of their favorite whiskies, Michter's American Blended Whiskey. 

After watching so many ghost investigative shows visiting the Hales Bar Dam, it was time to do an episode about it. The ladies take you on a trip to visit some spirits that are really attracted to water. First stop, The Dam, in Tennessee and second stop?! The Crazy Water Hotel in Mineral Wells, which has now been converted into a senior's home. The Dam is supposedly haunted by children, workers and a Native American chief. Aaron from ghost hunters got his vest pulled when he was investigating there, can you say creepy!? In the bourbon senment Kim samples Glenfiddich's 14-year Bourbon Barrel Reserve. 

Some speculate that her death was indeed no accident, many conspiracy theorists believe that the death of Marilyn Monroe was a murder. Some speculate that her close relationship with John F Kennedy had something to do with it, since only 77 days after she sung him the infamous “Happy Birthday Mr President” she was found dead, face down in her bed… 

Even though she was found in her home, her ghost has been sighted at multiple locations, even hotels. This is why her ghost has been dubbed one of Hollywood's hardest working spirits. The ladies sip on Woodford Reserve Master's Collection Select American Oak. 

So it's 2021, and you didn't think things could get much worse, but guess what, it's now the start of the Zombie Apocalypse. Ok, not really, but imagine if it was? Jen and Kim invite filmmaker and YouTube creator, Chelsea Comeau to talk about her favorite things... Zombies! They dive into some crazy stories about real zombies, just not the type you're used to seeing on TV, and some stories that could be real from The Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks by Max Brooks. Say what happened at Joshua Tree?! We'll take a rain check on camping there for now.
