The Haunting Truth

July 20th kicks off Shark Week on Discovery, and we couldn’t think of a better way to honor it than with a hodgepodge of shark related items, including murder, cryptids and Hawaiian curses. Join us as we dive deep into the murky waters that may just hide one of your deepest fears…  

Today, we are taking you to a small town filled with southern charm that was witness to a tragic train accident. These streets will make you question whether the dead still walk amongst the living. 

The last episode of our first season, celebrating with our ride or dies, our Battlefield Beauties. Our girls are bringing their own special brand of magic to our tour of good old Delaware, of “Del-a-where??” fame. We may encounter a monster or two, and perhaps at least one unsolved murder. Not sure where we are going to end up folks, so make sure you have a flashlight, your bestie and a glass of your favorite... 

The Big Easy, known for its culture and history, is also a hotbed of crime and paranormal activity. Join us on this trip to Rampart Street, where we explore the case of Zack Bowen and Addie Hall...and the echoes of their tragic love.

Bodysnatching and the curious case of One-Eyed Joe - WHYY 

My absolute favorite episode to date- a very interesting and entertaining dance down New Orleans streets with another girl gang leader, famous for her red hair and fiery temper.
