The Tales We Tell

Ep. 148: Floyd Collins


Listen Later

Are you scared of caves? YOU SHOULD BE! This week, Hannah kicks off the Irrational Fears series by telling Katy about a new fear she recently discovered: caves. Specifically, get trapped in a cave and dying alone. The girls spend their time talking about the infamous story of Floyd Collins, his hot brother Homer, sweet, brave little Skeets Miller, and the terrifying reality of cave crickets. They also discuss the grim realities of caves and how even modern technologies might not be able to save you if the earth has decided to swallow you up. 

It's technically a Local Legend, right? Take your anxiety meds for this one because it's a wile ride!
