Wine and Weirdos

CW: Disappearances, mention of death

Welcome to our first Smöl Spook, our mini-episodes where we will cover small cases or topics that are either ongoing or aren't information-heavy enough for its own episode.

In this episode, we cover the disappearance of Matthew Lang, an ongoing investigation from Bend, Oregon. We will continue to update on this case as it progresses.

Join Alexis and Sam as we carefully (and by carefully, we mean not at all) cover a mysterious set of deaths in the USSR during the Cold War: The Dyatlov Pass Incident. In this, we learn that Alexis cannot speak Russian, that hypothermia and murder apparently have the same symptoms, and that both of our FBI agents and/or CIA agents are probably going to merc us soon.

Join Sam and Alexis as they cover the infamous Donner Party.

Join Alexis and Sam as they cover Samhain and how it turned into Halloween through colonialism and appropriation from the Christian church.

Join Alexis and Sam as they talk Northeast US with two cryptids from a hot minute ago. Alexis covers thunderbirds, or the flappity-flap-flap boys, and Sam talks the Jersey Devil in an accent you should definitely stick around for.

Join Alexis and Sam as they attempt not to get haunted by two of the most famous haunted dolls. Alexis covers [Bobert] the doll and Sam talks about Annabelle.

Join Alexis and Sam as they go back in time to 1600s Salem, where innocent people were killed because of the (likely) boredom of a bunch of children.

Join Sam and Alexis as they take a trip over to the Devil's Tramping Ground, and then up the mountain to discuss the Brown Mountain Lights. They discuss the inherent racism in, apparently, a ton of North Carolina legends.

"That's Racist" Counter: 20

Join Alexis and Sam as they deep dive back into the mysterious disappearance of Malaysia Flight 370. They recap the end of the timeline (bc that audio really said peace out), make fun of Don Lemons (please don't sue us, Don), and go through the craziest theories to the most likely and tragic ones for the fate of this ghost flight back in March of 2014.

Join Alexis and Sam as they deal with horrible audio issues and a lot of emotions centered around the Missing Malaysia Flight 370, an unsolved mystery in two parts, this being part one.

Apologies for audio issues on Alexis' end and the audio cutting out before we finished the timeline.
