Today's extra episode has two true vampire stories. I did change my mind on this week's topic and went for more modern tales, as the old ones are quite similar.

Today's extra episode is all about Voodoo dolls and Poppets. We've got a long introduction where we delve into the history of effigies, and sympathetic magic, and one true scary story.

I also want to apologise, again, it turns out I have COVID so I have a head like a ball of cotton wool... Hopefully my brain will be working better next week.

Today's episode is all about the Haitian zombies. We've got a long introduction where we delve into documented accounts of zombification in Haiti, the practices used to make zombies and the widespread fear associated with them and then we finish off with two, true, scary stories of zombies.

I also want to apologise for any mispronunciations. I have a head cold and I'm feeling sorry for myself.
