Brit is back from Japan so it's back to business as usual...for one week.

Alexa is going on a road trip so we decided to cover some haunted roads!

Brit covers the ghostly phenomenon on Lemon Tree Passage Road and Alexa tells the story of Kelly - the ghost that haunts Wakehurst Parkway.

Put your seatbelts on for this one.

Happy Easter!!

In the spirit of bread and hot cross buns, we decided to cover some haunted bakeries!
Have you ever wanted to eat your favourite bakery treat underground? Well, in this episode Alexa tells you where you can achieve this goal you never knew you had.

Brit tells the story of 2 haunted bakeries, one of which is also underground (what, a theme within in theme?!). No scary ghosts in this episode...well except one guy who got quite a surprise.

Bread and jam tarts anyone?

Ahhhh-wooooooooo
You hear faint howling in the distance, you glance up at the night sky to find the moon full and round. Panic sets in as you realise you've been caught outside on the night the werewolves run free.

We take a deep dive into the history and evolution of vampires and werewolves. And some tips and tricks that might just save you from a deadly encounter. You're welcome

Feeling sick or having a big o' hangover will never stop us reporting on the paranormal!

There's something weird going on in the cinemas down under. Is it a coincidence, or is there something more to it? Find out if Alexa can get to the bottom of this one.
Ever wondered what it would be like to be a fisherman in the 1800's? Well even if you don't you may have found yourself on a ship regardless back then. Britt tells us the grim history of Sydney's oldest pub, The Hero of Waterloo.

Be warned, because this ep is a cursed one. Britt has doomed our laptops and phones to spontaneously catch fire. Or hopefully just have some deleted files reappear. 

Ever heard of odd occurrences or some down right spooky stuff that happen during the filming of a movie? We have and we're here to share a couple of those movies with you today. Britt tells us about the actual dybbuk box that inspired the movie The Possession. And Alexa shares all the spooky and strange things that happened to the cast and crew of the Conjuring movies.

On today's episode we dive into some strange and down right crazy superstitions that have us questioning how we are still alive. Who knew sleeping with a fan on could be so dangerous?

Join us on this epic discussion of well-known and not-so-well-known superstitions. Ever raised a water glass and sung "cheers big ears"? Well, you might want to think twice before toasting with a non-alcoholic beverage...

Closer each day.....
Britt flies out on her trip around Japan today, and she wont even pack Alexa in her suitcase. (How selfish). But don't worry, we'll be back again next week for your regular spooks.

For something a little special, Britt will be covering the round schoolhouse all the way in Hokkaido, Japan. This place is like something out of a Ghibli movie, only terrifying. 

And since Alexa has to stay at home, she's going to take us all on a haunted pub crawl through Melbourne's CBD. Stops include Young and Jackson, Hosier Lane and The Mitre Tavern.

Today we decided to cover the essentials of ghost hunting and the different types of equipment you can use to capture all that spooky paranormal stuff.

There is a little bonus choose your own adventure ghost hunt at the end where Brittany takes Alexa on a journey to find out what ghost is haunting the Kelly family.
