Welcome to Episode 21, where Margot & Elizabeth toast to all things paranormal.

Elizabeth takes us to Wilder, Kentucky, where a country music bar called Bobby Mackey's Music World has a dark past and even darker energy. Rumor has it there's a direct line to the Devil himself in the basement! If you visit, please note that the bar is not liable for any ghostly attacks on your person.

Margot tells the story of what has been called the most haunted object in the world: a wine cabinet called the Dybbuk Box that is said to contain a malicious spirit. Open or touch the box, and terrible things will happen - Post Malone can confirm. Also, what does eBay's market for paranormal objects have to do with all of this?
