HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Ed Gein, Slender Man, Day of the Dead, modern slavery, Momo, Black Mirror and more…

Oooooohhhhhhwwwaaaahhhhh – it’s the Halloween episode! The spookiest time of the year… And yes, Eavesdroppers, we’ve got some scary stories for you this week, but before any of it, we’d like to give an Eavesdroppin’ send-off to the one-of-a-kind Alistair Saunders, who sadly passed away this week. Al, one day we’ll dance again with you in the big kitchen disco in the sky. RIP.

So… What does the last episode of Lost, Succession, Keiran Culkin, Tubbles, Neenish tarts, Monkey and Tripitaka have to do with Halloween? You’ll have to listen to find out! You’ll also have to listen if you want to hear Michelle talk about the traditions behind Mexico’s Day of the Dead and how it’s actually a week-long celebration… And hear Geordie’s incredible story of Julie Keith and the weird note she found in her cheap Chinese Halloween decorations. What has this story got to do with modern slavery? Listen now to find out what the note said!

TRIGGER WARNING – Michelle’s Halloween story is DISTURBING so read on at your PERIL! Is there really a real-life inspiration behind the gruesome characters of Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs and Norman Bates from Psycho? Whaaaaaaa? A REAL PERSON?? No!!! Yes! Halloweeners – it’s true, these scary characters are based on a real person called Ed Gein!! Listen to find out the tragic backstory behind the world’s most sinister killer. Geordie then recounts the ghosty whostie story from loyal Eavesdropper Terry Whitaker! Discover why the spooky spot on the middle landing in his London home was a haunted hotspot and learn all about SLENDER MAN. Who is that? And what’s that got to do with two 12 year old girls stabbing their best friend?? Or Momo? Or Spring Heeled Jack? And how does the Black Mirror episode Shut Up and Dance fit into all this? LISTEN NOW TO FIND OUT! Happy HALLOWEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNN EAVESDROPPERS!!!
