  • Bushel Of Bloody Legends

    This week on Legends & Spirits we’re giving you a bushel full of legends from around the country - we’re talking malevolent water babies from the southwest, vengeful witches from Mississippi, and from Arizona to Nebraska - more slaughterhouses than a Kurt Vonnegut novel.

    In this week’s Macabre Mixology, we’ll butcher a classic cocktail recipe (in a good way). It’s a crisp, tangy cocktail named after the heroines of a couple of this week's stories. And in our Spooky Saloons we’ll make our way to Hooper, Nebraska to a small town with an even smaller population… unless you count the spirit residents.

  • It's a Bird...It's a Crane...It's MOTHMAN!

    This week on Legends & Spirits we’ll spread our wings to take flight over Point Pleasant, West Virginia with one of the most infamous winged creatures in paranormal lore…the Mothman! Where there is a Mothman there is also UFOs, Inter-dimensional beings, MIB, and a curse on these lands that could even have something to do with it all. 

    In this week’s Macabre Mixology we’re concocting our version of one of the oldest classic cocktails whose roots are very close to home for us. And in our Spooky Saloons we’ll valet our UFO with the oddly grinning man outside and step through another time portal of sorts into the Blennerhassett Hotel & Lounge in Parkersburg, WV. We’ll belly up for some delicious cocktails and fare before we go in search of one of its many ghostly residents.

  • Jitters, Jumps, and More With Japanese Lore

    This week on Legends & Spirits we’ll pay a visit to the great island nation of Japan where we’ll dive into legends & lore of the Yokai - from creepy critters to comforting creatures. We’ll also have special guests David Ovitsky and Shannon McGee  give us a true master class on Japanese whiskey.

    In this week’s Macabre Mixology we’ll wash down our whiskey tasting with a zesty libation perfect for the summertime blues…and we don’t mean an evil Oni! In our Spooky Saloons we’ll head to the nation’s capital, Tokyo,  to visit a kitschy watering hole that leans in to the spooky stories surrounding the Yokai…

    Welcome to Legends and Spirits!

  • Re-Petrified In Pennsylvania

    Previously on Legends & Spirits we prospected Pennsylvania for paranormal parables so profound it left us petrified! Pursuant to present parables, we find ourselves…. 
    Re-Petrified in Pennsylvania!

    In other words, we found lots more spooky stories during our recent on-site field research in Pennsylvania. We’re talking possessed prisons, lake witches, ghost kids, haunted inns, and creepy catacombs. Not to mention a 150 year old Spooky Saloon and one of our most Macabre Mixology recipes yet!

    We'll also have a special interview with our very own music gurus Burton Bumgarner and Kenny Peters, with special guest Debbie Peters who took us on an actual midnight ghost hunt along a dark deserted road!

    This week on Legends & Spirits we’re kicking of our 2nd season with a trip to South America for some terrifying legends and lore generations old - we’re talking whistlers, weepers, and fire water drinkers!

    For our Macabre Mixology we’re batching up a tangy cocktail that burns so good and is made from a traditional spirit, that Sarah knows from experience lives up to its name. In our Spooky Saloons, we’ll be visiting a high-in-the sky hotel and tavern filled with drinking, dancing…and MURDER!

  • Road To SUPERNATURAL Bowl I (Season Review)

    This week on LSPN (Legends & Spirits Paranormal Network) we’re reviewing this years epic matchups on the road to Supernatural Bowl I. We’ll be hitting the frozen tundra looking back on the  epic battles that went tooth and nails, claws and tails. Who were the winners… and who took the loser's bus back to their alternate dimension? The underdogs and the shapeshifting dogs, the cryptids and the cannibals, but in the end only one would walk away with the coveted Supernatural Bowl Cup!

    In our Macabre Mixology, while there is only one Supernatural Bowl Cup, we'll batch up a super-festive, super-delicious …and super LARGE crowd pleasing concoction. And for our Spooky Saloons we’ll take a trek to the city of angels to see if we can find a ghost or two in one of LA’s most infamous cantinas!

  • Winston Salem: Cookies, Smokes, and Ghosts (Part 2)

    This week on Legends & Spirits is Part 2 of our terrifying trek to Winston-Salem, NC. We’ll serve you up a second round of spooky stories and legends and  we’ll also dive even deeper into the torrid history of the town’s most notorious family…the Reynolds.

    For our Macabre Mixology we have another cocktail inspired by the Mroavian cookie and it wouldn’t be Legends and Spirits without a Spooky Saloons, so we’ll step back in time with a visit to The Tavern of Old Salem, which has stood its ground for over 200 years… as have some of its regulars.  And just when you thought it was safe to go back into your secret room, Matt and Sydney Chicurel will be here to tell the chilling conclusion of their story.

    Welcome to Legends and Spirits!

  • Winston-Salem: Cookies, Smokes, and Ghosts (Part 1)

    This week on Legends & Spirits we’re kicking off a tantalizing two-parter telling tales from the terrifying twin-city Winston-Salem, NC. We’ll be rolling our own (ghost stories that is) from this very historic, very haunted town. We have special guests and dear friends Matt and Sydney Chicurel, to give us one of the MOST chilling firsthand accounts of the supernatural we’ve EVER heard! And we'll regale you with our own personal experience staying in a historic mill turned Inn... Scary? You bet your cigarette butt it is!     

    For our Macabre Mixology, we’re batching up a fun cocktail inspired from Winston-Salem’s #2 export…cookies. We’ll give you a sweet history lesson of the Moravian settlers and how they perfected this thin, spiced pastry. In our Spooky Saloons, we’ll step back in time with a visit to The Tavern of Old Salem, which has stood its ground for over 200 years… as have some of its regulars.
