Ashley kicks off our Halloween-themed triptych by exploring the Ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. For starters, she serves up what we know about Samhain’s history and traditions and how some of those traditions have been adapted for the modern holiday of Halloween. Then she finishes off this spooky special by taking a closer look at a couple of the supernatural figures associated with Samhain: the pookah and the Dullahan.

This month's guest chef is the hilarious Nick from the 10ish Podcast. He dishes up one of the world's most popular dishes. Don't worry, it's not airport hotdogs served over an open trashcan. No, he serves up something far wetter, er, I mean better... the Loch Ness Monster. Have you heard the sticky history behind this beloved cryptid? It involves a crafty gynecologist with far too much free time and some really good camera angles.Find 10ish Podcast on your favorite social media or streaming platform at https://www.10ishpod.com/To stay on top of all the latest from Pineapple Pizza Podcast, be sure to check out our website at www.pineapplepizzapodcast.com where you will find links to merch, Patreon and a variety of ways to support the show, as well as detailed episode descriptions and regional specials.

Lindsay closes out our tour of Norway with a three-course meal of fire and even more fire. For starters, we learn about the Bloody Monk of Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim who likes to get handsy, and not in a great way, before diving into our main course — a curious phone in Bærums Verk that likes to ring on the reg with no one on the other end of the line. To close out our meal, we visit the capital city of Oslo and Akershus Fortress where we learn about its fucked up security system. If you like learning about a lot of ghosts and hearing about tons of fires, this is one episode you won’t want to miss.This episode is sponsored by Hello Fresh.

Lindsay uses her wild card to share the history of the Brothers Grimm, as well as three of their more disturbing tales. The Goose Girl teaches us that it’s not smart to lie about your station in life, especially when you’re pretending to be a princess and really a royal Karen. The Robbers Bridegroom teaches us that if you have a bad feeling about your fiance, you should stick to your guns and give that dude the finger. Fitcher’s Bird teaches us that you should never trust a guy with a big backpack who keeps begging at your house when all your sisters keep disappearing.This episode is sponsored by Db.

The restaurant is closed for renovations during the month of August, but that won't stop us from serving up some tasty specials. Our final renovation meal is another collaborative classic. Lindsay and Madison of Ye Olde Crime are joined by Emily from the Drink, Drunk, Dead podcast. Together they discuss two Doomsday cults - Heaven’s Gate and The Hermits of the Wissahickon - as well as the importance of last meal selection, that the Book of Revelations is a great how-to manual, and that living with a bunch of dudes in the woods isn’t as cool as people make it out to be.Information pulled from the following sources:2011 Hidden City article by John Vidumsky2015 Chestnut Hill Local article by Kevin DiccianiPhiladelphia Oddities Article on the Historical Society of Pennsylvania website by David AhernAtlas ObscuraWikipediaTo stay on top of all the latest from Pineapple Pizza Podcast, be sure to check out our website at www.pineapplepizzapodcast.com where you will find links to merch, Patreon and a variety of ways to support the show, as well as detailed episode descriptions and regional specials.

In this week's special, Emily, from Drink Drunk Dead, serves up the deliciously bone-chilling internet urban legend known as The Russian Sleep Experiment. A cruel experiment goes terribly awry. Prisoners of war become mangled specters of what they once were. Gory and gruesome, this slice is not for the faint of heart.Interested in hearing more from Drink Drunk Dead?

The restaurant is closed for renovations during the month of August, but that won't stop us from serving up some tasty specials. First up is the crossover episode between Ashley's Studying Scarlet Podcast and Emily's Drunk Drunk Dead podcast, which focused on some truly mysterious cases from Germany.Emily discussesdthe little known tale of the exorcism of Gottliebin Dittus. In 1840, a relatively unlikable (by 1840s Germany standards) young woman, Gottliebin, began to experience some strange happenings from phantom knocks and bangs in the home to loss of consciousness and bleeding breasts. After observing her convulsing and speaking in multiple languages,local pastor, Johann Cristoff Blumhardt, determined she must be possessed by not 1 or 2, but 1067 demons and lost souls who were themselves possessed. It took nearly 2 more years and some horrific occurrences for Gottliebin to finally be rid of the evil.Ashley tackled the sad story of the girl in the box. On September 15, 1981, 10 year old Ursula Herrmann went missing on her short bike ride home. The eventual discovery of her body in a box only brought more questions than answers. Who could do this to a little girl? Did they actually intend to ransom her? Did they get the right man? Ashley explored the many strange twists and turns of this case and left both hosts feeling there is still much more to discover.Interested to hear more from Studying Scarlet Podcast?
