The Ouija Broads: Tales from the Pacific Northweird

The Northwest gave us one of the best mysteries of the 20th century... the polite parachuting hijacker who's (erroneously) known as D. B. Cooper. In the first part of this two-parter episode, Devon outlines the facts of the case, the FBI's approach in the early days of the hunt, and the few clues Cooper left behind. 

Secondary topics: A name fake-out; no smoking on planes please; a parachute fake-out; just a general intermittent clean-up search; no sack lunch, no windbreaker; like a seagull with a french fry.

Liz goes back to the spooky Spokane well and tells the tales of five ghosts that haunt the Davenport Hotel. 

CW: Brief mention of suicide in this one. 

Strange knock-knock jokes; you can't do a Spokane episode without a Kirtland Cutter cameo; waffle foundries and tamale emporiums; a bruttle kerfuffle; Victorian interior design; a little bit on the Campbell House. 

Show notes: You can get your own copy of Spooky Spokane at area Spokane bookstores. We wouldn't be able to do great topics like this without all of Chet Caskey's hard research and story collecting! If you aren't in the area and want a copy, let us know and we may be able to swing something for you. Or you can come for a visit and go on one of his ghost tours here: http://www.ietours.net/Trip_Descriptions.html

First we recorded the beaver story, then we recorded the octopus story because the other was too short. So you get two, two, two amazing tales of Pacific Northwest critters! I put a little music in the middle, don't turn it off too early. 

Winning hearts and minds; why it's the Lilac City; Geronimo the polygamist beaver; how to get extra credit in Liz's class; an octopus story from Devon; fictional schools; Icelandic horse information; alien abductions as aquarium stocking technique.

Devon reveals the histories and ghost stories of two mortuaries that live on today as Seattle pubs. 

Secondary topics: Bison bones and pine straw; Southern lawncare adventures; baby Parseltongues; social media never sleeps; eating beers; the logistics of choosing where you're going to haunt.

Technical notes: We're pretty sure we've found a fix to clear the pop rocks out of the mic cord for next recording, but thanks for bearing with us on this and the next one (which were recorded the same day). Just play it outta your phone speakers instead of over headphones and you won't notice. ;)
