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!

When you send your teenage daughter out to keep an eye on your cows/geese, be prepared for her to face wolves, receive marriage proposals, and maybe even encounter a friend of the Devil himself. This week, special guest, Morgan, fills in for Katy, and Hannah tells her about Jean Grenier: the teenage werewolf. There's wolves that look like Yorkies, a hell-house in the woods, magical animal hides that require a healthy slathering of Crisco, and one very unhinged witch-hunter. We love a good werewolf story, and this one does not disappoint.

So pour your drinks, slip into that wolf-skin that Satan gave you, and join us for this spooky lore!

In 1977, in an isolated valley in Devil's Den State Park, Terry Lovelace's life was changed forever. This week, Hannah tells Katy the infamous story of Terry's incredible encounter, and the horrifying details he would later remember. From mysterious children wandering in the wilderness, to stalking alligators, to mantis-doctors, to shocking medical discoveries. Plus, Katy's theories on dangerous brush fires and possible non-alien explanations. This story is wild, and we had a blas recording it!

So pour your drinks, readjust your tinfoil hats, and join us for this spooky, extraterrestrial story!

He featured in your favorite non-Disney animated princess movie, and now you can learn all about the real man behind the creepy cartoon villain (spoiler: it's not far off!) This week, Hannah tells Katy about Grigori Rasputin, the peasant-turned-holy-man who became a close confidant of the Russian Imperial Family in the early 1900's. From Katy's bloody mandolin accident, to security blankets (real and metaphorical), to dirty genitalia, this episode details the wild life of a man who convinced the Tsarina (and himself) that he was imbued with God-given powers, and was the only hope for her dying child; and it ultimately led to his completely unhinged (and likely exaggerated) assassination. You won't want to miss this disaster of a biography.

So pour your drinks, put down the Aspirin, and join us for this macabre tale from one of the darker corners of history.

It's the LIVE show!! This week, Hannah and Katy recorded live at Pinky's Pub in downtown New Bern, and Hannah told a whole bunch of people about the mythical Clurichaun--the impish Irish fairy that haunts wine cellars, taverns, and pubs! There's a fun new drinking game, a signature drink, some creative Clurichaun names, and lots of laughs! This was recorded in a busy bar, so please excuse the background noise.

Pour your dinks (the signature drink: Jameson, lemon juice, simple syrup, and a red wine floater), lock up your wine cellars, and join us for our second ever LIVE SHOW!

What are you scared of? Baseball? Long scarves? Murphy beds? Well if you weren't, you should be, because all of those things can kill you. This week, Hannah unlocks new fears for us all, a la several Final Destination-esque deaths that have been caused by seemingly innocuous things. The girls talk sleepwalking, The Sims, the dangers of claw clips, and which candy you should definitely not be eating a bag and half of every day. You might want to take notes.

So, pour your drinks, make sure all sharp or breakable items are put away, and join us for this listacle of horrors.
