Keeping it in the Midwest this week! Kala talks about the luxurious The Elms hotel and spa in Excelsior Springs, MO.

This week Brittany and Kala talk about The Spider House Cafe & Ballroom in Austin, TX, and The Hannah House in Indianapolis, IA. It's an episode full of birthday wishes, historic Indiana facts, and a couple of exhausted hosts. They may be tired, but they're still having a good time!

This week Brittany and Kala discuss the Nopeming Sanatorium in Duluth, MN and Pepie, the monster of Lake Pepin in Lake City, MN.

And Kala makes several references to the movie The Water Horse when she is actually talking about the movie Magic in the Water .  

This week on Left of Skeptic Kala and Brittany discuss two famously haunted hotels: The Palmer House Hotel in Sauk Centre, MN and St. James Hotel in Red Wing, MN.

Brittany and Kala start their adventure into the paranormal podcasting world by talking about two of their favorite locations: the SS William A. Irvin and the Glensheen Mansion. And we immediately establish that Brittany absolutely does not want ghosts to touch her.
