  • EP 41: Haunted Tunnels Baby!!!
    Feb 27 2024

    What's up bitches? I, Godmother Mal, am about to bring you an epic episode all about (please guess this right) . . . TUNNELS! These are supposed to be some of the most haunted tunnels in North America. Who decides these are the most haunted???? How do they decide what "most haunted" means???? Don't worry, we provide our theories on the subject.

    Now, sure, tunnels are scary. But you know what else is scary? Eating something and having no idea what it is! To pair with our story, we tried a Japanese KitKat we got while visiting Chicago! What flavor, you ask? I wish we knew!

    Oct 17 2023

    Happy Tuesday! Join us on a journey to Caledonia Mills in Canada to meet a fire loving poltergeist. We will dive into the mysterious fires and general spooky phenomena at the MacDonald Farm in 1922. We are going to take a look at the incidents and the outcome of an investigation that would label the young Mary-Ellen as an arsonist.

  • EP 37: Ruth Blay
    Oct 13 2023

    Back in 1768, Ruth Blay was the last woman to be executed in New Hampshire. What was the crime she was charged with, you ask? The crime of giving birth without “officially” telling anyone she was pregnant.

    This episode, we do a deep dive on the batshit crazy laws surrounding sex during ye olden times (18th century colonial America).

    Our snack: Pumpkin chocolate chip cookie from Crumbl.

  • EP 36: The Botched Exorcism of Kennedy Ife
    Oct 12 2023

    It's a real dark one today, guys. Kennedy Ife was a young man from Enfield, UK (the same place where one of the most famous poltergeist hauntings took place????) For Kennedy, what started off as a sore throat spiraled into something incredibly dark and life threatening. Within 9 days, Kennedy's family became convinced he was possessed by an evil entity and attempted an exorcism that resulted in Kennedy's death.

    Drink: Pumpkin Spice Tonic by Orca Beverage Inc.

    Stay safe! Love you guys!
