Hello spooky people, Ep. 70 is here and with it, brings ghostly gossip!

First up, we’re tackling the Circleville Writer Case – a bizarre saga where a small town was shaken by anonymous letters spilling all the tea (and then some). Was it a neighbor, a contemptuous relative, or just some jerk with a pen?

Next, we're taking a spooky detour to 10 East Drive to chat about the Black Monk of Pontefract. This isn’t your typical monk – think less “silent reflection” and more “poltergeist party.” From disappearing objects to phantom violence, this haunting has it all.

So grab your favorite glass, mix yourself up a refreshing start of the summer drink, and let's get into it. Cheers!

Ep 69 – nice – is here just in time for Pride Month, and we're spilling the tea on some seriously spooky and sinister stuff.

First up, check into the Cecil Hotel, a place so haunted even ghosts are like, "Nah, I'm good." From its dark history to the creepy mysteries that still linger, we’re discussing how this hotel is the ultimate magnet for tragedy.

Then, we’re heading over to Laurel Canyon to unravel the Wonderland Murders – a far too accurate look into the real world of Hollywood- you know, without all the glitz and glam, just the gore.

Mix up our cocktail of the week, The Hotel Nacional Special, and get ready for a rollercoaster ride of chills, thrills, and some seriously dark history. Trust me, you won't want to miss this one! Cheers!

Hi spooky people! Welcome to a special Mother's Day episode!

Today, we're exploring the phenomenon of hysterical strength—because let's face it, moms have been known to move mountains when their kids are in trouble! We'll get into some incredible stories of superhuman feats driven by adrenaline and maternal love, and why it's possible.

In addition to that, we discuss Gypsy Rose Blanchard's story—a twisty tale of deception, revenge, and the complicated relationship between a mother and daughter.

And since it's Mother's Day, let's raise a toast to all the hard- working moms out there just doing their best. They all deserve some love- even the dog moms (I see you). Cheers!

In today's episode, following his recent death, we're diving into the dramatic saga of O.J. Simpson's infamous trial. From the white Bronco "chase" to the courtroom theatrics that gripped the nation, we'll talk about the trial of the century, and you'll have to let me know if you think the "the glove didn't fit, and he must be acquit".

We'll also be quickly venturing into the eerie halls of the Eastern State Penitentiary, once home to notorious criminals and rumored to be haunted by ghostly inmates.

So grab your favorite glass, settle in, and prepare for a rollercoaster ride through the world of crime and punishment. Cheers!
