The York "Witch," Mary Nasson: Which Witch is the Real Witch?


Listen Later

Homies and hobgoblins, ghouls and guys, freaks and fiends! Come 'round as B, HGH's resident witch, outlines her most recent dissertation about how her magically inclined siblings got the short end of the stick in the history books. Apologies to the entire town of York, but you gotta update the outlines for your yearly graveyard tours - we're talking about Mary Nasson (not Jason) and her (most likely) very normal™ gravestone!
