Welcome to a very scary Christmas with the Gruesome Gossip gals! We're sure by now everyone has probably heard of Krampus, he's been having kind of a moment for the last couple of years, and good for him! But we bet most of you haven't heard as much about his female counterpart, the decidedly more fun Frau Perchta (aka The Belly Slitter)!! In this year's Christmas episode, you'll hear all about her, the hobby horse from hell (aka Mari Lywd), and of course Florida Man. So chug some holiday cheer and get ready because this is one bumpy sleigh ride!

I (Britany) am hitting the open road with a few other members of my paranormal team, Cheyenne Mountain Paranormal Investigators, in November to check out a few allegedly haunted places in Kansas; including one location that has been very high on my paranormal bucket list for years.
In this episode, I share a little backstory about the Sallie House, the 1889 McInteer Villa, the Eldridge Hotel, and Stull Cemetery.

If you haven't listened to part 1 yet, we strongly encourage you to listen to it first.
SPECIAL NOTE: We do have a content warning at the beginning of every episode, but we feel it's important to add an extra one here. This story contains details of rape, sexual assault, crimes against minors, and domestic violence. If any of these topics are triggers for you, please skip both parts and come back for episode 2.7 where we'll have something light-hearted for you.

This week we're revisiting a story that was briefly discussed in the finale of season one and that's the truly evil acts of the Ken and Barbie Killers; aka Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka.
There's so much to this story that we've turned it into a two-parter so be sure to come back next week for the devastating, infuriating, and shocking conclusion.

So most of you that have been listening for a while know Marty is from Taylorsville KY...But something I feel like most people may not know about Kentucky is that it has an abundance of urban legends and haunted places.
So, while you may have heard of Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Louisville, KY (which is said to be one of the most haunted places in the US) or Bobby Mackey's Music Hall in Wilder, KY (that is said to have a portal to hell in the basement), we bet you haven’t heard about one of Marti’s personal favorite bits of Kentucky folklore and that is the legend of the Pope Lick Monster, or better known by locals as The Goat Man.

This week the ghouls dive deep, 15 miles deep in fact, into Mel’s Hole!
10% craziness, 10% conspiracy theory, 75% urban legend, and 5% reason for Marti to make dirty puns. Mel’s hole is one of the craziest stories we’ve covered yet! So, buckle in cause this is sure to be a Hole-In-One! Seriously it’s the "hole" Kit and Caboodle … Hehe Hole! Britany would like to personally apologize for the pun-filled description of this episode (that was very obviously written by Marti) and for just the entire episode in general. But, if she had to sit through all those puns ... you do too. :)

I (Britany) figured you might need a palate cleanser after last’s week episode (see what I did there??), so I’m bringing you a short and not-so-sweet episode this week.
In this episode, I’m bringing back on our On This Day segment from season one and talking about the last execution via guillotine in France; which was shockingly not all that long ago.
I also share the gruesome story about the last public guillotine execution in France that was so fucked up, the government decided the public would no longer be allowed to attend executions.

We’re baaaaack! Welcome to the premiere episode of season two!
Ever seen a roadside stand selling delicious BBQ sandwiches? Tempting right? Well not after hearing the story of Joe Metheny. That’s right, the ghouls are back and this season the tea is STRONG! No topic is brewed too dark and we’re ready to prove it by kicking off season 2 with one of our most upsetting episodes yet. So get ready to spill all the tea with Gruesome Gossip because this time we aren’t fucking around!
Special Note: My (Britany) audio settings were a little off thanks to not recording for a few months so you might notice some slight distortion. My bad. :-/
