In honor of our 10th episode, we deviated from our regularly scheduled spookiness to dip our toes into the spiritual waters of some various gods from around the world. Specifically leaders of the gods. Pantheon papas. Diety daddies.

December 11, 2019 Ep 6: The worst kind of farming and the best Jack.
Welcome to episode 6, where we explore true crime and a cryptid in Victorian England. We didn't plan the era, we just both like it. Whoops? We explore one of the world's most (potentially) prolific serial murders in Amelia Dyer, The Ogress of Reading and then lighten it up some with a cryptid who is either an eccentric nobleman, a bear or a Muppet. Maybe a combination, we'll let you decide.
