Jen takes us to Lubbock, Texas this week to talk about some of its most haunted spots — Hell’s Gate Bridge, the Pioneer Pocket Hotel, and Lubbock High School. Think ghost stories, local legends, and weird Texas energy.

Em dives into the story of Belle Gunness, one of history’s most unsettling killers. She didn’t just scam men out of money — she made sure they never left her farm alive.

It’s a mix of hauntings and true crime, which feels about right for us.
