St. Pierre Martinique is known as much for the eruption of Mt. Pelee that destroyed it, as it’s known for the snake invasion that preceded it. In this episode we’ll discuss how these 2 events are related, some of the other biblical style plagues that cursed it, and what factors led to St Pierre’s untimely demise. Listen to hear how this town of 30,000 people was reduced to 2 people in 3 minutes!

On September 3rd, we had the privilege of interviewing Leon from El Paso Ghost Tours. He shared with us how he became a paranormal investigator and a few of his amazing stories! If you're a fan of the paranormal, you won't want to miss this interview! You might hear a little bit of an echo in some parts. We recorded in the basement of The Gateway Hotel in El Paso, TX and there was a little bit of microphone bleed as well as the echo of being in an untreated basement. We have tried minimizing the echo as much as possible. 

If you're in the El Paso, TX area you can book a tour at El Paso Ghost Tours and meet Leon and listen to his stories first hand! Links and social media handles below! Thank you again Leon for all your time and great stories!
