Welcome back during this holiday season for a very special emu-sode! Brooke confronts her fear of birds to tell us about the Australian war against the Emu population. In the 1930s Australia sanctioned a planned attack against the wild Emu population that were ruining crops. While the Emus weren’t necessarily mounting their own military attack, they may have been the winners!

We're going back to the basics with an episode full of strange historical facts and macabre masks. Holly gives an overview of funerary masks from many cultures and their significance before delving into their more modern counterparts: death masks. Death masks have their own unique history as artistic references, forensic tools, and ways to remember loved ones.

We have a spooky painting for you all! Brooke dives deep into the eerie stories that surround the painting "The Hands Resist Him" by William (Bill) Stoneham. The artist, Bill, was inspired by a poem that his wife, Patti M. Stoneham, wrote by the title "Hands Resist Him." After painting this piece, it seems the subjects may have taken on a life of their own!

We’re back!! Thanks for sticking with as we took a little break to get back on schedule. We’re jumping back in with another haunted hotel for y’all. This time, Holly will be bringing us to Arizona’s Copper Queen Hotel that’s full of 16 ghosts, tragic town history, and mining town legends.

Welcome to spooky season!! We're kicking it off strong with an episode full of strange noises and unlocking doors at the supposedly haunted Vulcan Hotel. We'll learn about the history of the hotel from Brooke and the stories of it's spectral inhabitants.

Tech Warning: We experienced some tech issues with recording, so if Brooke sounds quiet don't worry! While she may sound like a ghostly voice this week, we'll be back to normal next week.

From the murky waters of Loch Ness emerges one of the most well known cryptids. This week, Holly will introduce us to the Loch Ness Monster, better known as Nessie! There have been thousands of Nessie sightings over the years, but we'll talk about the most prominent ones and what the Loch Ness monster may have to do with Kelpies.

Join us this week to learn about an interesting Celtic mythological creature: the Kelpie. Holly shares information about these terrifying horse spirits and their many ways of luring their victims into the water. We'll also be discussing their possible connection to one of the most famous cryptids, the Loch Ness monster!

We're going back to the basics this week with a macabre material! Brooke will tell us all about the history of uranium glass and explain why uranium glass is toxic. It's a very common glass and you may even have some around your home! Not to worry, it's nothing like radium or the green dyes filled with arsenic.

This week we have one of Holly's favorite survival stories to talk about! In 1921, Ada Blackjack joined an expedition to Wrangel Island as a seamstress. When supply ships failed to arrive, things took a dark turn for Ada and the four men who were there with her. Ada started the expedition as the only woman and the only Inupiat person, and she would end it as the only survivor. 

Think you saw something swinging from branch to branch? Did you catch a little movement on the trunk of a tree? It might just be the Pacific Northwest’s very own Tree Octopus! Brooke is here this week to educate us all about this fantastical creature and cryptid. We will learn all about the habits, predators, and creation of the PNW Tree Octopus.
