In this episode, Kat covers what some call Ireland's Most Haunted Castle: Leap Castle. Said to have been built sometime between 1250 and the early 1500s on ancient Druid ceremonial land, this location has its fair share of murder and despair. Now occupied by a musician, his wife, and quite a few spirits, Leap Castle opens its doors to visitors and paranormal investigators. Tune in as we explore the dark side of humanity - with beer!

This week, Kat tells the story of The Moors Murders, a killing spree carried out by Ian Brady and Myra Hindley between July 1963 and October 1965 in and around Manchester, England. Their five victims, all children, were Pauline Reade, John Kilbride, Keith Bennett, Lesley Ann Downey, and Edward Evans—aged between 10 and 17, at least four of whom were sexually assaulted.

This is a big story, for sure. Tune in while we explore the dark side of humanity...with beer!

This week, Kat talks about Dr. Christopher Duntsch -- or, as he is more commonly called now, "Dr. Death." In a two short years, Duntsch left a trail of destruction and death in his wake. It was a total system failure - from his medical school to the hospitals that employed him. But there were doctors, nurses, and patients who spoke up until they HAD to be listened to. 

List of references are here - but there's so much out there. Check out Peacock's covering of the story, and the podcast that started it all: "Dr. Death" from Wondery.

Look guys--- you know I can't pronounce words correctly most of the time. It's not intentional, it's just how it is. ~Ashley

In this week's episode, Kat and Ashley didn't give me a description, so the producer is g-g-ghost writing for them! I think this episode is about the Shanley Hotel, which sounds like a Walmart version of the Stanley Hotel, doesn't it? (That's the hotel that inspired Stephen King to write The Shining.) Note to Millenials - watch The Shining. It's totally worth it. Or don't. I don't care.

Anyway, Kat says this hotel is haunted by a cat or something. I wasn't listening. You'll probably like it though, if you're into ghosts.

Oh, and there's no Sarah-Sarah segment on today's show. I guess she couldn't find a wind tunnel to record in. (BOOM - I just roasted Sarah!) Fun fact: Sarah-Sarah just started sending in audio clips and she got her own segment. Maybe it'll work for you, too. You should try. See what happens.

Okay, here are a bunch of links to the Shanty Hotel and stuff they talked about on the show.

Enjoy!
