Spooky Times with Eric D

Tonight were talking deals with The Devil! Specifically 3

Eric Dwinnells sits down with guest cohost Jackie Weatherbee to talk about the witch hysteria that swept Salem, MA and much of New England in the 1600's! Why did a group of young girls living in Salem Village start to act "possessed"? What made them accuse their neighbors of witchcraft? Why did the government execute those who were found guilty? What happened to key players after it was all over? Found out on this highly informative episode of Spooky A S!

This episode ran very long and bandwidth is pricey so much had to be cut, but you'll eventually be able to find most of the "outtakes" on youtube or at our official website:

Just in time for St. Patric's day, Eric and guest cohost Tom Cole talk about 2 of the most famous beings in Celtic mythology, the Leprechaun and the Banshee! Are Leprechauns really the drunken tricksters we think of today? Will a Banshee come to kill you in the night with her soul-piercing screams? What's a Redcap? Find out on this special holiday episode!

Warning: This episodes contains animal noises which may have been mistaken for Banshee screams. You may find these noises terrifying...or just really annoying. Don't worry; they are short!

Also discussed: Why the show is called Spooky A S on certain providers, words Eric and Tom have trouble pronouncing, their plans for the holiday, Boston drunks, and the infamous Irish Goodbye (aka ghosting).

There was a good amount cut for time from this episode so check the website/youtube for additional content!

Welcome, foolish mortals! Join Eric and guest cohost Aaron Cohen (webmaster of the Disney-focused website magicandmisadventures.com) as they give you a pretty in-depth history of the world's greatest dark ride, Disney's Haunted Mansion (or should we say "mansions"?). From Walt Disney's original concepts for the attraction right up to changes made to the attraction just a few years back, nary a stone is left unturned. It's a much lighter topic than normal because sometimes it's nice to take a break from "seriously spooky" to "silly spooky". 

Warning: We do explain how some of the effects are achieved so if you don't want to know, cover your ears for that part!

Aaron explains some of the differences between the Disneyland and the Disney World versions of The Haunted Mansion and Eric tells us about the time he went to Disney World dressed as Jason Voorhees!

Did you know that if you play "Stairway to Heaven" backwards, you can hear Robert Plant talking about making a deal with the devil and encouraging you to do the same? It's true!...well...not really, but certain groups wanted you to believe that for a time. They called this process backmasking (or back masking). And it wasn't just Led Zep; many groups were accused of hiding satanic messages in their music using this technique. Groups accused include The Beatles, Queen, Judas Priest, AC/DC and even Weird Al! And some of them were actually guilty! Kinda.

Join Eric and his guest cohost, Brian Toney, as they talk about the history of backmasking from how it started innocently as a studio trick pioneered by non other than John Lennon all the way up to the Satanic Panic of the 1980's. Was there any truth to the accusations? Is such a technique even possible to master? Can our subconscious be affected by hearing backward messages? Find out in this rocking episode of Spooky A S!

It's a very special episode of Spooky A S when Eric Dwinnells and guest cohost Jennifer Lecesse (aka Jennie Blades) trade tales of their hometown legend, John Stone's Inn (now known as Stone's Public House) of Ashland, MA. Stone's has been around since the 1800's and it's reportedly been haunted pretty much since the day it opened. Does old Captain haunt the place? What about the little girl ghost who often appears at the window on the second floor? Jennie is an on the board of the Ashland Historical Society so she is uniquely qualified to help separate fact from fiction. Do murderous ghosts truly haunt John Stone's or was that just the rumbling of a passing train???

Sorry about the buzz you can hear a few times, we've fixed the issue and it won't happen on future episodes. It was a ghost!!! Join us as we talk about ghosts, demons, legendary creatures, mythology, unsolved mysteries, the paranormal, the strange but true...a little bit of everything and anything that could be described as "spooky."
