  • A Haunting of Hamilton Proportions
    Another week, another episode! This week, Mimi shares the story of a haunted Manhattan hotel, the Morris-Jumel Mansion, and Janine fans the flames of speculation surrounding spontaneous Human Combustion (SHC.) This episode features a "shrunken" head, an elderly ghost, an expression of love for musicals (from Mimi,) and some Googling (it sounds dirtier than it is...)
    Thanks to http://anomalyinfo.com for all of the awesome info regarding Spontaneous Human Combustion. If anyone is interested in learning more about SHC, check out this website. It's full of interesting information and a chronological list of SHC cases throughout history.

  • So Many Knights (Nights)
    Mimi continues her voyage to the dark side this week with the tale of Giles DeRey, compatriot to Joan of Ark, child murderer, and necrophiliac. Janine explores vampire folklore and legend in a little piece she likes to call Bird of Death.
    Disclaimer: Mimi's piece is a little creep-tastic this week. If you're faint of heart or just don't enjoy graphic descriptions of violence, skip to the 20 minute mark.
