🎃 Trick or treat! 🍬 It's the first episode of 2026, and your spooky podcasting besties are back with two stories to start your New Year off scary. Peyton discusses the Philip Experiment, which begged the question: Are ghosts real, or a figment or our imagination? These 70's scientists were determined to solve the unsolvable... but did they? Liz follows with the story behind our favorite Halloween decoration, the Jack-O-Lantern! This tale involves the Devil, a drunkard, and a whole lot of shenanigans. You'll never see your Halloween pumpkin the same way again! Hit the bong and smoke-a-long. Peyton and Liz are about to get high... Highly Haunted! Stay spooky, stoners! 👻
