Happy Spooky Wednesday! This week we have two locations with very similar names. Inspired by her recent trip to the UK, Kala talks about The Golden Fleece in York. This old building is one of the most haunted inns in York, and the ghosts like to move furniture in the middle of the night. How annoying. And that brought her to The Golden Lamb in Ohio, where a man accidentally died after trying to show how someone could accidentally set off a gun… by accidentally setting off a gun into his stomach. How annoying. These are come certified baaaaaa-d ass hauntings. 🤣

Happy Spooky Wednesday, dear listeners!

When people think of ghost stories, they usually think of specific time periods. For example, the mid to late 19th century, when spiritualism was at its peak. Or the 70s and 80s, when Satanic Panic was spreading. But what if we told you that ghost stories go back much further than that?

Brittany is about to tell you all some ancient ghost stories, and these stories are creepy! This is just further evidence that belief in the paranormal is nothing new... It's very, very old.

Just because you can't see it, doesn't mean it isn't there. Just ask Dr. Finkel.

Happy Spooky Wednesday, folks!

We're talking about two of Kala's favorite subjects this week: witches and beer. For thousands of years, the process of creating beer and other fermented beverages was a household task, and so it was mostly done by women. By the Middle Ages, these women (called brewsters or alewives) were taking that excess foamy, golden liquid and selling it in the local marketplaces! #GirlBoss But eventually the men weren't as excited about their success, and that's when things started to go downhill. How does this relate to witches, you might ask? I guess you'll have to listen to find out. 

Happy Spooky Wednesday!

Our story this week is a drama nerd's dream! 🎭 Brittany is diving headfirst into the world of theater superstitions. Thespians have always been dramatic (pun intended), and what brings more drama than whispered rumors of potential tragedy? So if you're going to be working on a stage production, be ready to hear all about what you can (and more importantly, CAN'T) do.

Don't tell someone 'good luck.'

Never leave the theater entirely dark.

Learn what words to avoid.

The list goes on and on...

Happy Spooky Wednesday, dear listeners!

We’re heading in a new direction this week and exploring conspiracy theories! Let’s start with the “mother of all conspiracy theories” and have Kala tell you all about the JFK assassination. Well, not all about it. This goes so deep that it would take too long. So instead she’s gonna tell you a lot about the JFK assassination. The 35th U.S. President, John F. Kennedy, was shot in Dallas over 60 years ago. Theories have swirled around this national tragedy for decades. Though the official report said it was the fault of a lone gunman, the public is not so convinced. Was it the CIA? The mafia? The Secret Service? The Vice President?

Take a listen and let us know what you think! Editor's Note: That episode of Bones that Brittany was talking about was The Proof in the Pudding | Season 5, Episode 12

Happy Spooky Wednesday, folks!

This week Brittany is going to tell you all about the Dauphine Orleans Hotel in the New Orleans French Quarter. Considered one of the most haunted places to stay in the state, this hotel has been crafted from a number of historical buildings. As a result, a wide variety of ghosts haunt the location. Will you encounter the ghostly bride? The long-gone soldier? Will you catch an apparition in the square? Or will you see something move on its own in the bar? If the reviews are correct, you’re definitely going to see something! Alternate titles that were considered:

Episode 216: Two men in a tub

Episode 216: Ghosts are friendly, reasonable parking rates.

Happy Spooky Wednesday!

This week Kala's going to tell us all about the Magnolia Hotel in Seguin, Texas. Built in the mid-1800s as a two-room log cabin. It quickly became a hotel, stagecoach stop, and social hub of the area. The building had been in poor repair for a number of years, but in the last decade, new owners have started to fix it up as a nice Bed & Breakfast AND a haunted tour spot. There are many newspaper and magazine articles as well as social media posts where people recount the many paranormal encounters they experienced in the building. It's been visited by Watcher's Ghost Files, The Daytripper, Ghost Brothers, and many more! While there are many skeptics who believe the owners might be ramping things up for publicity, with this many first-hand accounts, we have to believe there's SOMETHING spooky going on here. 

Happy Spooky Wednesday, friends!

This week Brittany is bringing you the story of the Vardøger - a kind of spirit or paranormal experience (depending on who you ask). Often confused with things like déjà vu, it makes you feel like you experienced something before it happens! It’s described as a precursor spirit. It imitates an individual’s actions, characteristics, and even physical appearance before their actual arrival. Have you ever heard your partner walk into a room and turn on the TV? But when you go into the room, they’re not there and the TV is off? And then 15 minutes later they come home and turn on the TV? You might have been Vardøger-ed. It sounds pretty harmless, but we’re pretty sure it’s an experience that would be very creepy if it happened to you.

Happy Spooky Wednesday, everyone!

Have you ever heard a local legend that grows so wildly over time that no one knows its origins? That's what we're talking about this week with the legend of Char Man in the Ojai Valley in California. While most of the origin stories seem to be born from the horrific 1948 wildfire, the story of why Char Man exists varies from tale to tale. The one thing they can seem to agree on is that there is the ghost of a strange man who chases the locals away from his bridge due to some tragedy in his life.

But is this really a ghost? Or a local hermit who just wants teenagers to leave his property alone? Or is there an even sadder tale at work here? 

Happy Spooky Wednesday, folks!

We’re discussing The Olde Pink House in Savannah, GA this week. This extremely popular restaurant exists in a building that has been around for over 250 years. And it’s collected some ghosts along the way, most of which seem to be the family that lived there even before the American Revolution.

Who will you encounter if you decide to pop in for an evening of enjoyment? The Revolutionary War soldier? The bitter woman who wants you to get out of her bathroom? The children running amok in the basement? Better stop by and find out!Editor's Note: I wanted to call this one Episode 212: You know what they say… with great power comes great opportunities to use the free labor of enslaved individuals to continue to grow one's own wealth through a variety of business ventures.

But it was simply too long.
