I Scream Social

Pennsylvania Dutch Magic and Conrad Roy III


Listen Later

Abby dives into the mystical world of Pennsylvania Dutch Magic, or “Pow-wowing”, a form of folk magic that’s resulted in animal carcass insulation and even a horrific murder. Ashlyn talks about the very sad and frustrating recent case of Conrad Roy III.


This episode has everything: glow in the dark sweatshirts, really REALLY hard words to pronounce, a variety of uses for stinging nettles, how to know if an animal is lying to you, the thigh maker, a guy with a cloud over his head, a depiction of our texting conversations with our significant others, an explanation of cognitive behavior therapy, a silly name for a silly man, and a reminder that you’re never alone even in your darkest moments.
