This Podcast Doesn't Exist

We're back! With some updates! And a surprise at the end!! We reveal a pod-long bit, talk about some Everest news, and the Yip-Yips are BACK. We love you all! E & S

Though it kicks off with a few ghost appearances (Gus?!), this week’s episode is more on the fairy side of the realm. Shannon discusses the case of Bridget Cleary and the supposed supernatural forces that took the “real” Bridget from her family during an illness. Discussion of disability, neurodivergence, and the reactions to those with either, both in the past and today, turns quickly into some d...

It’s spooOOoOOoooky season!! FINALLY! This week Emma jumps right in to the creepy spooky times to tell us all about the Conjuring House. Was a family actually haunted by the previous, long-dead owners of their home? Was it because time is a flat circle? Or was it all in their heads? We learn just how much money Shannon needs to convince her to watch a scary movie and that it wouldn’t matter how mu...

We may have changed up our schedule and wanted to change our names, but the chaos remains the same, with a couple kitty production assistants who are not very *demure*. This week Shannon fills us in on the kinda sweet history and spooky present of Colorado’s famous Stanley Hotel. The inspiration behind Steven King’s The Shining remains one of America’s most haunted locations, but is it all true? S...

Hey Jim! And everyone else! This week Emma dives into one of Shannon’s favorite topics: a heist!! The Argent Star disappeared from its impenetrable case, never to be seen again. But is it as it seems? Is the Star disguised as 35 engagement rings? Or is it still in the hands of those it was supposedly stolen from? Come find out this and more, like if Elmo really will sue, if robots were involved, a...

Is that Father Time’s thumb or are you just happy to see us?! Why are there metal monoliths popping up all over the world? Whether the answer is art, aliens, or just a bit of fun, Shannon fills us in on the monoliths and their most recent appearances. We hope they mean something exciting, but maybe they’re just here so we had something to do during our unprecedented times to, you know, take our mi...

Ever tried to scare yourself into seeing a bloody screaming woman in the mirror? Well…we might have!! This week Emma tells the haunting legend of Bloody Mary and who she might be. Why is she in our mirrors at every sleepover? Why do we want to see her anyway? And was she so reprehensible in life that she’s been doomed to a death of scary servitude? Come find out this week if we are successful in o...

We might not be able to say her name, but dang do we wanna talk about her! No one said we were finished with dolls, and this week Shannon steps up to the plate with one of the biggest baddies of them all: P.T.D. We turn into carnival barkers, learn that it's required to have 20/20 vision to be a ring master, and petition once again to have Zak Bagans on the judges panel for Ru Paul's Drag...

We’re baaaack! And so are these children?! Kids say the creepiest things, and some kids have convinced the world that they are old souls, back for another round on earth. Could these kids be telling the truth? Or are they making it all up? Come join as we tackle the hard questions of reincarnation, cloning, crew socks versus ankle socks, and candy cigarette endorsement.  Come follow us on TikTok ,...

Don't be sad! Yell "PINEAPPLE" at your phone to bail out of the bit! We'll see you soon! (Well, you'll hear from us soon that is...) LOVE YOU ALL! -E&S

TREASURE! We love a hunt for some valuables and this week  Shannon brings us the story of the Copper Scroll. Hidden away in a cave in Jerusalem was a treasure map. Now that the scroll has completely oxidized, will we ever be able to find its goodies? Or have they already been found?! Nick Cage, JoJo Siwa, and a potato dressed like Tina Turner all make an appearance this week so tune in to see if w...

Is every interesting structure on the planet just a pitstop for aliens on their energy highway in the sky? Or did ancient people really love climbing over hills rather than going around them? This week Emma lays down the lore of ley lines and the weird stuff that can happen around them. Ghosts? Check. Aliens? Check. The fact that St. Michael the archangel might really enjoy Glastonbury? Also check...

What lurks in the boreal forest region of northern Canada? Is it a shiny Bigfoot? A silver-fox being? A hairy Edward Cullen who is all rainbows and glitter? Come find out this week as Shannon dives into the tale of the Silverwood Beast. Stay tuned at the end for our new segment and a little surprise! Come follow us on TikTok , Instagram , and Twitter !  Visit our website ! Send us a heart fart ! S...

We could do this all front-door day, man! Talk ghosties that is. This week Emma brings us the really cool history of the Jane Addams-Hull House Museum and the ghosts that stick around for the pure, good vibes. A nice haunted house. Who knew? We’ve got devil babies, Labyrinth, and social reform in the 1900s. What more could you want, really. Join us for the usual chaos and enjoy! Come follow us on...

It might be getting warmer out there but it's likely still cold on Everest! Enjoy this jaunt through the past and we'll see you all next week!! The tallest mountain in the world has been conquered by many, but was Sir Edmund Hillary actually the first of these? Or was it George Mallory and his partner, lost to the snow at the peak? Listen as Shannon delves into her favorite topic, Mount Everest, a...

It's a repost! Your two best friends needed a break for a bit, so enjoy the crying! Welcome to another nonsense filled episode where Shannon narrowly avoids getting scared, this time by Goatman’s Bridge. Is it a demon on this bridge? A cryptid? A stoner kid in the tree whispering “Steve”? We might never know, but we do know that Emma wants to be a vase but might end up as a couch, and Shannon...

It’s Shannon’s birthday and you know what, friends? She’s never wrong. This week’s episode is about a little familiar roaming the halls of Washington D.C.’s government buildings. Is the Demon Cat a friendly little mouser just going about her business? Or does she bring tidings of more sinister things to come? Join in and listen to celebrate one half of your fav best friend duo turning over a new y...

It’s Shannon’s birthday season so we’re talking art crime and the audacity of man. This week Emma fills us in on Mark Landis, artist and forger, who managed to fool multiple museums over the course of 30 years into believing his donations of minor works were the real things. The catch? None, it seems. He didn’t earn a single penny from it. So then why did he do it? Come find out as we goof off, dr...

Shannon’s giving nerdy-nerdy-Emma-time as she clues us into one of the most mysterious items of the rare books world: the Voynich Manuscript. Is this late medieval piece a guide on bathing? An outline of the female body? A guidebook for aliens living here on Earth? Or is it all just a lie?! Come listen to these two pterodactyls do a podcast in their chaos den as Emma nerds out and Shannon has (alm...

Emma finishes out her trio of West Virginia cryptids this week with the Grafton Monster. Was this creature hopping between portals in time and space and happen to scare some locals? Was a disturbance of teenagers correct to go out looking for it? Or was it all just some elaborate way to say “up yours, Michigan”? Tangent town abounds as we explore these possibilities, if Bigfoot would have a pretze...

*CW: racism, autopsies, abuse, drug use, and death.* This week Shannon brings us the harrowing case of Kelvin Moore and the current state of the Alabama prison system. New laws are in place to keep inmates from earning time back for good behavior and there is a prevailing next-of-kin issue, among myriad other problems. One of these problems has led to family members of incarcerated peoples not rec...

We’re back together and headed to West Virginia this week, home to not only Mothman (Holland?!) but to the Flatwoods Monster, too. Was it a cryptid? An extraterrestrial? A bird? Does it deserve to be on the runway of Ru Paul’s Drag Race? We think so. We delve deep into fandoms of Drag Race, Ghost Adventures, and Marvel so hop in the car; we’re headed on a roadtrip through the Appalachian, cryptid-...

Our reigning ghost host Holland is back again to talk all things folklore! Is Limewire folklore? What about Mothman? Taylor Swift?! We truly talk about everything this episode, from Slenderman to parakeets to licking. So much licking (New here? Sorry!). Come for the expert and stay for the idiots! Come follow us on TikTok , Instagram , and Twitter !  Visit our website ! Send us a heart fart ! Sour...

We're back and it's a big one! This week Professor Chris (a real professor y'all) is stepping in for Shannon to tell us about the SS Central America and her untimely end. She's full of gold when she goes down, but 130 years later Tommy Thompson finds her and brings up some of her treasure. When asked to pay his backers, Tommy disappears with the gold. So what happened to the gold?...

Emma didn’t get bingo this week but maybe you will as Shannon tells us about the German town of Bielefeld that just might not exist! Numerology rears her (sometimes ugly, sometimes beautiful) head, tangents abound, and there’s a lot of disclaimers, but one thing is for sure: Bielefeld understands a #bit.  Come follow us on TikTok , Instagram , and Twitter !  Visit our website !
