Scary Savannah and Beyond

This week we talk about Crystal's favorite story of all time. We tell you the tale of Wojtek, the cigarette smoking, beer drinking, Nazi fighting bear from World War II.

And yes, all of that is a true story.

On What We're Watching, we review the 2020 Horror/Comedy movie "Slaxx"

On Layla and Coffee talk, we talk about their experience with large bodies of water.

In this week's bonus episode, we're going back to the Tybee Island Police Blotter to talk about some of the crazy things that go on on the island right outside of Savannah, Georgia.

It was fourth of July weekend over this report, and for some reason someone was howling at the moon and stole a doorbell camera. Because this is Tybee, after all.

This week we're taking a look at a mysterious event that happened in 1959.

Nine Soviet hikers went on an expedition - only one returned.

Their deaths remain a point of contention to this day, multiple theories abound, including aliens, gravity fluctuations, and even possibly a government cover up.

We discuss the story and and history of the event as well as some of the theories about what may have happened to these unfortunate souls.

On What We're Watching, we review the 2013 Horror/Mystery/Thriller movie "Devil's Pass."

On Layla and Coffee talk, we talk about fireworks, rainbows, and thunderstorms, and how they make the girls wary of humanity.

Would you be surprised if we mentioned - odors? Of course not. You know the drill.

Plus our good friend Savannah sent us some gifts!

This week we've got a couple of great stories to tell you!

First, we took a visit to the Graveface Museum on Factor's Walk here in Savannah, Georgia. They have a variety of interesting exhibits, including artifacts relating to true crime, cults, sideshow history, 1950s roadside attractions, secret societies, and the occult.

They also have the largest collection of John Wayne Gacy artwork and personal effects, as well as a lot of items relating to Ed Gein.

We interview our guide in the middle of a thunderstorm in Savannah. Because how much more creepy can you get?

Our main story deals with an infamous haunted mansion in Spencer Mountain, North Carolina.

We both grew up in Gaston County, and this mansion always sat eerily above the South Fork River, at the base of Spencer Mountain.

No one seems to know its true history, but we delve into what we could find out!

On What We're Watching, we talk about the new season 6 of the Netflix Drama/Mystery/Horror show "Black Mirror."

On Layla and Coffee talk, the girls get sneaky and trick Crystal into a second breakfast.

An artist tries to hand out CDs and threatens to shoot people. A woman keeps showing up - she's on a mission - to emit odors...

This week we're talking about another amazing haunted house in Savannah - known as the Mansion on Forsyth Park!

Located right beside historic Forsyth Park, this boutique hotel and restaurant has some interesting history - and some ghosts!

We recently went to Las Vegas (again), and visited the fantastic Mob Museum! If you're a fan of true crime, you'll find out about this great attraction. Also you'll find out why Brett shouldn't be allowed to do any forensic investigating.

While we're on the subject of Las Vegas, we also talk about the recent alien sightings there.

On What We're Watching, we talk about the 2015 horror/mystery movie "Hell House LLC."

On Layla and Coffee talk, Elijah kept them alive while we were in Vegas, and Coffee crashes the studio.

This week we're going back to our oddity category. You know that Crystal is a huge fan of baseball, and she came upon a story that's almost too wild to believe.

In 1974, the Cleveland Indians (the team now known as the Cleveland Guardians), had a problem with dwindling attendance. They hadn't attracted a crowd in years and were perennial losers.

So some marketing genius thought up the idea of 10 cent beer night - and it went about as well as you might expect.

Baseball chaos galore.

On What We're Watching, we talk about one of Crystal's favorite movies - the 1989 comedy "Major League."

On Layla and Coffee talk, the girls become pack leaders as Brett's parents were in town. They had to keep everyone in line.
