The Lesser Known Pod

In today’s episode, we’re diving into the spooky world of energy transference – and trust us, you’re going to want to know about this one! We’re chatting about how empathetic folks (yes, that might be YOU) can unknowingly absorb the vibes of the people around them. Spoiler: it’s not always rainbows and butterflies.

But wait, it gets darker. Ever heard of dark energy? No, it’s not a new Netflix series, but it might just be the unseen force messing with your relationships. We’re going to unpack what it looks like, how it creeps into your life, and how it can totally throw you off.

This is some real eye-opening insights on how to spot dark energy in your world and what you can do to protect yourself.

Let's dive into the wild world of learning new skills—because who doesn’t love leveling up? From the nitty-gritty of car maintenance to the magical art of impressions (trust me, you do not want to hear one), we explore both the practical and downright fun abilities we'd love to master. And don't be discouraged, there’s always room for surprise hidden talents! Tune in for a healthy mix of self-improvement and a dash of “wait, you can do that?”

Ever had a house that just… didn’t feel right? Yeah, us too. Sleep paralysis that felt way too real, orbs floating around the bedroom, and a computer that decided to blast AC/DC at three in the morning, even for a ghost, that's extreme. But it wasn’t just the house. We started to wonder if the people in our lives at the time (and the dark energy they carried) made the activity worse. Was it coincidence, bad vibes, or something way beyond that? Grab your blanket, dim the lights, and come creep through our haunted memories with us—we promise it’s not all screams, there’s some laughter too.

Wrangell-St. Elias National Park holds more than glaciers and volcanoes — it hides lost planes, ghost towns, and chilling mysteries tied to the Alaska Triangle. In this episode, we uncover the story of a plane crash swallowed by ice and found decades later, and explore the legends that make this park one of Alaska’s most haunting places.

K byeeee!

Have you ever had a date go so wrong that you thought, “Yep, this is the one I’ll be telling strangers about on a podcast someday”

 Because… same.

In this episode, Ashlee shares a personal dating disaster that started out normal enough and then quickly spiraled into pure chaos. Think less rom-com magic and more “why is this happening to me right now?”

But here’s the best part: we’re not just swapping embarrassing stories, we’re digging into what these moments actually teach us why sometimes the absolute worst dates end up being the best memories.

So grab your favorite snack, hit play, and settle in—because if you’ve ever survived a dating fail (and we know you have), this one’s for you.

Ever get that weird gut feeling that something’s off?

Yeah, us too. In this episode of Sunday Scaries, we're—spilling the kind of stories that make you check your locks twice and maybe side-eye strangers a little more.

Those everyday moments that seem totally normal… until suddenly, they’re not.

Don’t worry—it’s not all doom and gloom. We’ll laugh through the goosebumps, drag in some pop culture references (because obviously), and maybe even make you rethink that “quick errand” you were planning.

Consider this your reminder that staying safe doesn’t have to be boring—sometimes it’s hilariously terrifying.

So grab a snack, turn on a light, and let’s swap stories—you’re basically our third co-host at this point.

Let's go!

In this episode, we’ve got a listener story, some of our own strange experiences, and yes… that time night vision footage made us question if we should ever sleep again.

Spoiler: you can totally see faces in the dark if you stare long enough — 10/10 do not recommend.

We’ll chat about the possibility that our dreams might actually be interdimensional field trips, why visual evidence makes us both excited and mildly terrified, and how your security camera could be catching more than your Amazon deliveries.

But here’s the thing — this show is way more fun when you’re in it. So listen in, laugh with us, creep yourself out a little, and then tell us your weirdest “something-was-definitely-there” story. Because the paranormal is strange, but it’s a lot less scary when we explore it together.

Until next time…don't get haunted!

K-bye,

Ashlee and Liz

Ready for a vacation vibe check? In this episode, we are talking about our wildly different vacation styles. Ashlee’s out there seeking adventure, exploring off-the-beaten-path spots and hidden treasures. Liz is all about the chill, soaking up the local culture and savoring that perfect corner coffee shop.

But don’t worry, we’re not here to judge. We’re diving into all things travel planning, like how Google Maps can be more than just your map—it can help you uncover those unexpected gems. Think quirky coffee shops, charming neighborhoods, and maybe even a haunted building or two!

But we want to hear from YOU too! Got a topic you’d love for us to dive into? Drop your ideas and you might just hear us talk about them in the next episode. 

Ready to laugh, plan your next getaway, and maybe even get a little inspired to travel in a way you never thought of before? Let's take this adventure together!

You ever look at a Raggedy Ann doll and think, “Yeah, that thing definitely wants to ruin my life”? No? Well... buckle up. This week, it’s just us and the cursed object of your nightmares: Annabelle—the demon doll that ruins lives. And unfortunately, she may have just claimed another. We’re talking about the mysterious and very recent death of paranormal investigator Dan Rivera, who was taking Annabelle on tour. 

Join us as we: 

- Walk through the deeply cursed history of Annabelle (hi, haunted Raggedy Ann from literal hell)

- Talk about the strict “don’t touch, don’t breathe on her, don’t look at her too hard” protocols around the doll

- And share personal haunting experiences that made us question all our life choices.   

Also: do NOT provoke haunted objects. Ever. Seriously. Don't be that person. We love you too much to let you go out like the motorcycle guy who mocked Annabelle and then got into a fatal crash on his way home (yes, that really happened—chilling) Oh, and Liz tells a personal story about how, after watching The Conjuring, something straight-up followed her home. At 3am, something happened… no logical explanation—just pure, uninvited paranormal chaos. So yeah… she's got beef with Annabelle. So grab your sage, your rosary, your favorite protective crystal, and let’s trauma-bond over haunted dolls. Just… don’t invite Annabelle to your house party, ok? Haunted

Takeaways: 

- Annabelle’s not just a spooky story—she’s allegedly caused real harm. 

- Dan Rivera may have underestimated the doll’s power. 

- That glass case? It’s not for display, it’s a containment unit. For your protection. 

- People who disrespect her have ended up hurt—or worse. 

- She started as a sweet-looking Raggedy Ann... and turned into a literal horror movie icon. 

- Ed & Lorraine Warren had strict warnings about her, and honestly? We’re listening. 

- If your gut says “don’t mess with haunted stuff,” trust it. 

Our own experiences? Unnerving. Possibly regretful. Will never do that again! Until next time…Don't bring home haunted stuff; and don't get haunted!

We know you're not expecting to cry over a cockroach today, but… here we are. In this delightfully derailed episode, we sit down to talk about unexpected emotional attachments. Specifically, Liz’s bathroom buddy: a cockroach she formed a legit friendship with. (And before you judge—just listen, okay? He had vibes.) But then—cue the dramatic Law & Order music—Liz’s husband Adam enters the scene, unknowingly commits insecticide… and suddenly finds himself on trial. A fake trial, obviously. (Or was it? ) From there, things spiral gloriously off the map, and we end up talking about fruit flies, baby quails, guilt, grief, and the weird little ways we connect with the natural world—especially when no one else is looking.  Takeaways (because we’re thoughtful like that): • Adam is now on emotional parole. • Ashlee has deep feelings about quails and their little leggies. • Fruit flies may or may not have gotten Adam through law school. • Humor helps us deal with life, death, and bug funerals. • You can emotionally bond with a cockroach. Liz did. We’re all learning here. • Nature’s weird, and so are we—but maybe that’s the point. So if you’ve ever had a secret connection with a spider, a pet rock, or a squirrel that stares at you too long—this one’s for you.  Come laugh, cry, and maybe whisper an apology to the spider in your shower. It’s okay. You’re safe here.
