Hey Creeps! We are taking a bit of a hiatus from the show. While we love making Creepy Cascadia, we are feeling a bit burnt out. We haven’t had the energy to give the pod the time it needs and we feel like it’s shown in the last couple of months in the quality of our episodes. So we are taking a month or two to figure out the best format going forward. We will be back, so stay tuned to this space! And if you have suggestions on what you’d like to hear/see from us, please share them with us! You can email Admin@creepycascadiapod.com or dm us on our socials, FB, IG & Tik Tok, all just creepycascadiapod!

In honor of this week's Friday the 13th, today we are talking about some well known superstitions! Where they come from, what they mean, and everything in between!
