History of a Haunting

Today we take the class to a true gem in downtown Los Angeles. And by true gem, we mean a terrible, awful, no good, really BAD place called the Cecil Hotel. Here you may spot the Black Dahlia sipping on a drink at the bar, be hugged by an entity that will take it too far, and be oddly transported to another floor without the aid of stairs or an elevator. Not that those are any better, because they...

We’re back and hitting the ground awkwardly stumbling with a truly wild episode on the heartbreaking exorcism case of Anneliese Michel. The case that inspired the movie “The Exorcism of Emily Rose”.

Please remember we are a comedy podcast and no true disrespect to religious beliefs is intended....

Grab that box of wine and settle in for a bo...

This week's episode is a heavy hitter, class. ALCATRAZ! And it has (almost) little to do with the fact we had our Cinco de Mayo pre-game while we recorded it. Archie comes at us with his most in depth history yet. Carrie tries to follow up that impressiveness with a red eyed "thing", a gangster that is far less intimidating when he plays his banjo, a phantom lighthouse, and every canary song, thum...

"Pee for Houston, pee for Austin, pee for the state my heart got lost in. Aaaand shake twice for Texas" - Sheldon Cooper.
