Chasing Spirits Paranormal

Mari Lwyd, wassail, ghost stories for Christmas


Listen Later

The Mari Lwyd-a decorated horse's skull on a pole, draped with a sheet that challenges people to a rap battle in order to gain entry to the house for food and drink. Any excuse for a party!

Wassail-traditional drink consumed during the winter. Hot cider, oj, spices, possibly spirits. So good on a cold day!

And a Victorian tradition that needs to return-ghost stories at Christmas. Henry tells one in this episode.

To go along with the theme for this episode, we're drinking wassail, at least my version of it. Honey crisp apple cider, oj, cranberry juice cocktail, pomegranate juice, mulling spices & spiked with Devils Due Rye. Damn near perfect. Of course, you can eliminate the Rye for those who don't or can't have alcohol. 

Devils Due Distillery is in Kearneysville, WV. All their ingredients are locally sourced. We discovered them the last time I was in the area for work. And I need to go back to replenish our stock of their products. They have some of the best Apple pie moonshine ever!
