This week, we take a delightfully unhinged trip to the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum — where the admission criteria seem to have been written by Gaston LeGume himself. Because honestly, who needs a woman that reads books? Next thing you know, she’s thinking… and we can’t have that, now can we? Insert aggressive 1800s misogyny and fainting couch noises here.

But wait — it gets spookier. We’re diving deep into the Navajo legend of the Skin Walkers, not the watered-down, white-washed “Western movie villain” version, but the real shapeshifting nightmares from the old stories. And somehow, we still managed to tie this back to pop culture chaos: remember Sam and his brother from True Blood? Yeah, the ones turning into birds and dogs to dodge robbery charges. Add in Klaus Mikaelson (the second hottest brother, sorry not sorry — Elijah still reigns supreme) and that beautiful little detail that white ash kills both vampires and Skin Walkers. Coincidence? We think not.

And because no recording is complete without chaos, Muffin the cat makes his grand debut as a screaming background vocalist. He’s needy, he’s loud, and he’s absolutely certain the podcast cannot exist without his input.

Grab your sage, your headphones, and maybe a can of Fancy Feast for Muffin — it’s time to get Haunted and Homicidal.
