When researching last week's episode, I came across so much fun stuff about its author, Hans Christian Andersen. This week I am covering everything that couldn't fit in last week's episode. We'll talk about Andersen's romantic life, where or not he was gay, and of course the wild vacation he took at Charles Dickens' country home.

This week we are time traveling back to the 2000's and exploring a movie that has haunted me for years- The Ring. Turns out that Samara, the little girl who likes to climb out of televisions, took inspiration from several frightening folktales as well as a real person about a hundred years ago. We'll tell you all about it...if you dare! Maybe make sure your television is turned off first. Just in case.
