Oddity Poddity: A Paranormal Podcast

If you think museums are boring, you haven't visited the Museum of Death in New Orleans! No pics or videos are allowed (and later I found out why), so listen as I detail each exhibit and decide whether to venture inside yourself. I didn't come anywhere near doing it justice, but if you want a primer about the macabre morbidity inside, here it is. Maybe bring some Tums along, its a gut wrencher!

(trigger warning: depictions of murder, suicide, infant death, graphic accidents and cannabalism. Use discretion when listening.)

Ya'll know I'm always down for shacking up with ghosts, especially if crawfish and hurricanes are involved. In this episode we discuss the history of the Bourbon Orleans hotel, which was once the most important opera theater in the US, a civil war hospital, a convent and more. Today it's  a hotel where you can rest your head next to some ghosties! I even had my own run in with one there. Listen and hear all about it!

Remember back in the day when you put off writing that book report until 9 pm the night before and had no choice but to snort Pixie Stix and guzzle Mountain Dew all night so you could stay awake to complete it and hand it in to your teacher at 8 am the next morning with your shaky, blistered and bloody hands?
Yeah, me neither. I never did that.
But a guy named Herman the Recluse did. Only, he had a little help from a "friend". A friend who might have unleashed demons upon the world! Sounds like my kind of friend. Listen and learn about the worst book report of all time!

Or did archaic forensic techniques and tunnel-visioned police send a misunderstood woman to trial and let a brutal murderer go free?

It's the 1920s. Everyone is the most dramatic and heroin is in cough medicine. What a time to be alive! Unless you're King Tut. He was totally dead and none too pleased when a bunch of archaeologists, rich English guys and flappers came busting into his tomb. They were warned. Had they listened, maybe so many people would not have died...

Today I'm bringing back the 90s with some NOLA Vampire lore! The story of one of the French Quarter's most famous vampires starts centuries before Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt hit the scene. In this episode we explore the story of the Comte Saint Germain, a man who is said to have existed pretty much since the beginning of time, and who wound up terrorizing New Orleans with his blood sucking ways!
