- Día De Los Muertos II
October 31st is synonymous with Halloween, but there are other holidays that are celebrated during the spooky season like All Souls Day, All Saints Day, and The Day of the Dead, or how I like to refer to it - El Dia de los Muertos. In this episode, we will travel through time to see how these holidays came to be, discuss some of its traditions, and I’ll even throw in a story about a woman who married and divorced a ghost!

51 min - The Wendigo
Extremely cold winters and starvation are enough to test most people physically and mentally, but for some people, it pushes them to the most taboo of all taboos. Cannibalism. For the Algonquin speaking tribes of the Northern United States and Canada, they are warned of the Wendigo that could possess those that have been weakened by their environment and serves as a cautionary tale to all in their tribes and communities. Today, we’re going to discuss what The Wendigo is, how you might become possessed, and some real life stories of people who claimed to have been possessed by this entity!

38 min - Michelle Remembers & The 80’s Satanic Panic
Anyone who grew up in the 80’s remembers the Satanic Panic as a phenomenon that couldn’t be escaped. The news and talk shows were constantly covering new allegations and investigations into Satanic Cult Rituals as well as stories of victims and the accused. Everything from music, corporations, cartoons, and toys were in league with Satan. But did you know that the whole spectacle could be traced back to 2 people and 1 book? Today, we’ll be discussing Michelle Remembers, the book that kicked off the Satanic Panic as well as the infamous therapy sessions that inspired it, some of the abuse and rituals that allegedly happened, and some of the real victims of this cultural craze. We’ll also touch on the film Satan Wants You, which documented all this insanity!

40 min - The Aztec Death Whistle
In 1999 the remains of a 20 year old beheaded boy were found in the Mexican temple of Aztec wind god Ehecatl. The boy was holding a ceramic skull in each hand. Initially dismissed as toys, they were later discovered to be instruments, now known as the Aztec Death Whistle due to their bone chilling terrifying sound, but their purpose is unknown. Today we’ll discuss some prevailing theories. Were they used ceremonially as part of human sacrifices? Maybe they were used to scare enemies during battle? Or could they have been used to heal the sick?
