The beetches are excited to share another Haunted Places and Folklore episode, this time about the state of Utah! Join us as we revisit our trunk rum, while talking about the very religiously homogenous “Beehive State” and their strict drinking laws! Sam talks about a haunted college campus (weeping angel’s anyone?), while Rachel tells us about Jean Baptiste, the gravedigger who took things just a little too far. Let us know your thoughts, and Stay Spooky Beetches!
