TREASURE! We love a hunt for some valuables and this week  Shannon brings us the story of the Copper Scroll. Hidden away in a cave in Jerusalem was a treasure map. Now that the scroll has completely oxidized, will we ever be able to find its goodies? Or have they already been found?! Nick Cage, JoJo Siwa, and a potato dressed like Tina Turner all make an appearance this week so tune in to see if we figure this one out.

Is every interesting structure on the planet just a pitstop for aliens on their energy highway in the sky? Or did ancient people really love climbing over hills rather than going around them? This week Emma lays down the lore of ley lines and the weird stuff that can happen around them. Ghosts? Check. Aliens? Check. The fact that St. Michael the archangel might really enjoy Glastonbury? Also check. Enjoy the tangents and our new segment!

It's a repost! Your two best friends needed a break for a bit, so enjoy the crying!

Welcome to another nonsense filled episode where Shannon narrowly avoids getting scared, this time by Goatman’s Bridge. Is it a demon on this bridge? A cryptid? A stoner kid in the tree whispering “Steve”? We might never know, but we do know that Emma wants to be a vase but might end up as a couch, and Shannon will certainly be prepared for any demon with a super soaker full of holy water. Apparently, Emma also draws the spooky line at clowns, so you're safe if that wasn't your jam. Just goat-headed barefoot demons here.

It’s Shannon’s birthday season so we’re talking art crime and the audacity of man. This week Emma fills us in on Mark Landis, artist and forger, who managed to fool multiple museums over the course of 30 years into believing his donations of minor works were the real things. The catch? None, it seems. He didn’t earn a single penny from it. So then why did he do it? Come find out as we goof off, dream about museum gift shops, and get an insight into the Bone Shaman. Join the chaos and Emma’s first “solved” mystery episode!

Shannon’s giving nerdy-nerdy-Emma-time as she clues us into one of the most mysterious items of the rare books world: the Voynich Manuscript. Is this late medieval piece a guide on bathing? An outline of the female body? A guidebook for aliens living here on Earth? Or is it all just a lie?! Come listen to these two pterodactyls do a podcast in their chaos den as Emma nerds out and Shannon has (almost) all the answers.

Emma finishes out her trio of West Virginia cryptids this week with the Grafton Monster. Was this creature hopping between portals in time and space and happen to scare some locals? Was a disturbance of teenagers correct to go out looking for it? Or was it all just some elaborate way to say “up yours, Michigan”? Tangent town abounds as we explore these possibilities, if Bigfoot would have a pretzel cart, and discover that Shannon can’t whistle. Join for the usual chaos, spoofs, and goofs!
