Florence Cook, a remarkable medium of the late 19th century, claimed the ability to materialize a spirit named Katie King, captivating audiences with her otherworldly performances. This episode delves into the fascinating intersection of spiritualism, science, and skepticism as we explore Florence's journey alongside the esteemed scientist William Crookes, who sought to validate her abilities through rigorous experimentation.
With a backdrop of seances and spirit cabinets, we examine whether Florence truly channeled Katie or if it was all an elaborate hoax.

Join us as we untangle the mysteries surrounding Florence, Katie, and the blurred lines between the supernatural and the scientific!

The episode provides an engaging retrospective on The Blair Witch Project, delving into the film's unique production process and the cultural phenomenon it spawned. The hosts, Amanda and Lindsey, take listeners through the journey of how a low-budget indie film became a cornerstone of modern horror cinema. They highlight the film's clever marketing strategies, which presented it as a true story, successfully immersing audiences in a blend of fiction and reality. This narrative device not only heightened the film's tension but also prompted viewers to question their perceptions of truth in horror storytelling. The hosts dissect how the film's viral marketing laid the groundwork for future indie films to utilize similar tactics, sparking discussions about authenticity in horror.
Listeners are treated to an in-depth exploration of the filming experience, emphasizing the intense conditions under which the actors worked. As Amanda and Lindsey recount the challenges faced by the cast—ranging from being lost in the woods to the improvisational demands of their performances—they underscore the genuine fear and emotional authenticity that permeates the film. Anecdotes about the actors’ interactions and the psychological toll of the filming process provide a rich context for understanding the film’s impact on both the audience and the performers. The hosts invite listeners to appreciate the skill and dedication of the actors, who navigated the blurred lines between reality and performance during their harrowing experience.
The episode also tackles the actors’ post-release struggles for recognition and fair compensation, illustrating the often-exploitative nature of the film industry. Amanda and Lindsey share the cast's open letter to Lionsgate, requesting retroactive payments and meaningful involvement in future projects. This poignant moment serves as a reminder of the importance of advocating for artists' rights, particularly in an industry that frequently overlooks the contributions of those who bring stories to life. The combination of nostalgia, behind-the-scenes insights, and a call for justice creates a powerful narrative that resonates with listeners, leaving them with a greater understanding of the film's significance and the ongoing challenges faced by its creators.
