Enjoy this oldie but goodie, Cult of the Bangs, originally aired in April of 2021.

Warning dear listeners, you may find yourself with bangs by the end of this episode. Please, proceed with caution.

Prophecies, possessions, poltergeists, oh my, this episode is a veritable stew of the strange and unusual. Alissa serves up the first tale in this frightful feast by relaying the  haunted lore that planted the seed from whence SkeleTales grew. An innocent inquiry about a petite pink house on a local Facebook page reveals that something dark may be lurking within its pastel walls.

Much like the blush abode is Alissa’s tale, the cat in Britt’s story most certainly has a secret of its own. Intent on protecting its owner, a paradoxically soft-spoken woman named Yeli, the  fearless feline named Leah wages a nocturnal war with a dark-haired  entity seemingly intent on making good on what Alissa assumes is a curse that spans generations.

And, while on the topic of generations, Alissa seizes the opportunity to once again make a show of her impressive family line with yet another tale of that drunken tramp of a great-great-great-great grandpa, Johnny Boy Gribben. Sans axe, the old Gribbs manages to terrorize the streets of Victorian Harrisburg, Pennsylvania with something far more terrifying.

As always, thank you for listening and haunt y’all later!

Britt is saying Adios to Austin and Alissa’s hands are bleeding from making Covid Oden avocado toast, so its a bit of breezy episode ths week. Breezy like your grandma’s yoga farts. 

Britt tells the tale of a boy who tries to attend a party only to find that he showed up to the wrong dimension. She also tells the tale of a horror house involving an old lady, a knife and an evil entity that will make you never want to shower again. 

Alissa reads a story from the SkeleTales hotbox sent in by our friend of the podcast Steve from Buda, Texas. He once again delights with a spooky recollection of a series of mysterious calls he responded to while working the beat as a Central Texas police officer.

Dust off those treasure maps, grab your metal detector and brush up on your code cracking because this week’s episode will have you aching for a good ‘ol treasure hunt and hankering for a Charleston Chew.

Britt starts the audio adventure with the story of the Fenn Treasure, a real life treasure hunt straight from the pages of a storybook that led hunters on a sometimes deadly quest for a chest full of gold and jewels. She also tells the tale of a family that stumbles upon a cache of gold coins on their California property and story about a pirate called Firefart.

Alissa put the haunted in this week’s episode with the story of the Haunted Treasure of High House in Cary, North Carolina where a ghostly spirit tries to tip off the home inhabitants to the whereabout of a hidden treasure. She then tells the story of the buried treasure of Talequah where a man named John Hawkins died and took with him the location of his buried loot.

This week’s episode of SkeleTales is dedicated to furry creatures of all kinds, but mostly the dead kind.

After immediately alienating everyone with a vile memory of her old pup Klaus, Britt makes amends by reading heartwarming tales (tails?) of visitations from passed pets. Vicki wrote into the SkeleTales hotbox to share an odd experience she caught on camera while fostering kittens while friend of the podcast Kendall suspects that her cat Finn paid her a visit from the kitty city in the sky. Britt wraps up her ghostly pet parade with an old dog who doesn’t seem to know she's dead.

Disappointed in her inability to procur a haunting tale involving a squirrel, Alissa fell back on her favorite topic of Near Death Experiences (NDEs). But not just any NDEs, Juvenile NDEs, but not just Juvenile NDEs, Juvenile NDEs involving pets, loved ones and various glowing beings. And then she completely forgot the assignment and tells a tale of a man who was unwittingly involved in a stranger's NDE, a nurse whose patient knew too much and some patients who were comforted by uniformed visitors. She also gives a helpful CPR hack that you won’t want to miss.

This week's episode of SkeleTales is a bit of a melange of mysteries if you will. 

Britt tells the story of Harry, a correctional officer at a facility where some of the inmates are serving out afterlife sentences. She then flips to the opposite side of the specter spectrum and describes how an ethreal experience at a Mexican clinic in the 1950s saved the life of a child with the bird flu. Britt then returns to her shadow people roots to relay the experience of a nefarious spirit who cast a dark shadow upon a New England home.

Alissa then knocks Britt’s socks off with a story from Anna who shared a goose-bump inducing experience involving her deceased husband. She then relays a story about a doll house that will make you think twice before you do another dumpster dive. And finally she wraps up the show by unleashing a whole slew of Irish curses upon ye.

In honor of SkeleTales ranking on the podcasting charts in Ireland, this week’s episode is dedicated to telling haunted tales from the Emerald Isle and absolutely butchering the Gaelic language in the process.

Britt delves into a tale of a headless horseman who was either a thief, a jealous lover of the victim of a pre-meditated murder who was tragically decapitated and cursed to ride his horse for eternity. She then takes you to the haunted  Ballyboley Forest where druids are said to roam the woods and where the veil to the underworld is thinned.

Alissa manages to tear herself away from the topics of jugs and decapitations long enough to explain the lore of the Banshee and convey a couple of first person encounters with the shrieking spirit. She also tells the tale of the White Lady of Kinsale a spooky ghost who likes to eat toast.
