History Woes

Ep. 16 Classic Horror


Listen Later

Welcome to episode three of our creepy stories during October! We're very excited to tell you stories that stem from history's classic horrors. First, Morgan tells you about one of history's first recorded vampires (or was she? You be the judge). Then Lexi unwraps a scary tale with the most classic horror of all (the living) when she covers mummy unwrapping parties.

*Podcast note, no puppies were harmed during the making of this podcast. Biscuit was sitting outside the door where she had access to water and cuddles from humans and dogs alike. She's very dramatic.
