This week, Katie gives some insight into owl myths and lore going all the way back to cave drawings. Janine takes us to Stickney Mansion (now a police station) and introduces us to its strange past and its roots in the Spiritualist movement.

This episode contains a sheriff named Norbert, a little Houdini (otherwise known as the dude who took no shit and spared no punches when it came to Spiritualism,) some very interesting mythological facts about owls, and a research spiral (courtesy of Katie.) 

Please take a moment to leave us a 5* review on your podcast platform of choice! We'd sure appreciate it and we'd love to hear from you. :)
