F is for Frankenstein's Monster, crafted by hand! This week, it's a Tell we Tale, and Katy takes the driver's seat to tell Hannah all about the origins of Frankenstein's monster, and the real life scientific pursuits to reanimate the dead (there are way more than we thought!) This episode is full of fun historical facts, medical innovations (some brought about in less than ethical ways), and lots of electricity puns!

So pour your drinks, and get ready for this electrifying (see what I did there?) Creature Feature!

Is it a poltergeist, a demon, a curse placed on you by a witch, or just the manifestation of your stress? This week, Hannah tells Katy about the haunting of the Tallman family on Larabee Street. There's red or green-eyed monsters, a ghost who may or may not be in the mob, poor pet ownership, an unhinged pastor, magic communion, possibly a squatter, and so much more. This is a classic haunting with enough peculiar details to make it just a little bit funny.

So get out those EMF detectors and dowsing rods, and join us for this Spooky Story!

For less than $5/night you used to be able to get a room at a pretty nice hotel, complete with a bellboy to walk you up from the lobby. But that was 1935. And an affordable hotel doesn't mean you're safe from your past (or present). This week Hannah tells Katy about the mysterious death in Room 1046, the mystery man that stayed there, the less than helpful bellboy, and the shady characters who might be caught up in it all. There's master skeleton keys, beautiful names, grease burns, anonymous phone calls, missing thumbs, and more!

So pour those drinks, and join us for this Unsolved Mystery!
