Welcome to the second season of Weird & Feared! Over this past year, and it's been one hell of a year, we've been discussing all sorts of  monsters, madness and mayhem. To celebrate, we've decided to revisit  some of our favorite entities in the only way we ever could, by pitting  them against each other in a 36 character battle bracket to determine  which character will reign supreme. We compare their histories, origins,  strengths, weaknesses; leading each bout to violent and sometimes  surprising conclusions. Call it a war. Call it a tournament. Call it all out Armageddon. When the dust settles and the flames extinguish, who  will be the first ever Weird & Feared Spookytime Champion of the World?

What is a dinosaur? If the first word to pop in to your head was AWESOME, you'd be correct. Everyone knows they once roamed the Earth, but what happened to them? Did they get wiped out by an asteroid 65 million years ago? Did some survive, only to evolve in to birds? Did they get rescued from a massive flood by a nice old man who built a big boat to keep them safe? Wait...what? Do honest to god, real life dinosaurs still live among us? Dinosaurs are awesome, and they might not be as extinct as you think.

Also, listen to the end of this episode for us to reveal how we are going to celebrate the culmination of Weird and Feared's first full year.

These are true monsters among men.

War. Disease. Mutilation. Conquest. The receipe for a haunting requires a certain dose of trauma for the souls of the deceased to refuse their rest. The particular source of the trauma is what gives each ghost its personality. Who it was. What it did. What was done to it. Well, when tragedy isn't just done to one individual, but many, the living are in for a wild ride.

Without the I&M canal, Illinois and Chicago would not be what they are today. The 1800s was a brutal time to be alive and to say earning a living back then was hard would be a serious understatement. Settling the west was traumatic enough, but what happens when trailblazers die in mass and are buried amongst each other? Would something refuse to leave? What kind of energy would that leave behind? How would it show you that it was still around?
