We start out by reading some of our first stories sent in by our listeners! So that this Little Weird wasn't TOO little, we also pulled out a few short stories about some hauntings in our area and planned out how to bu...

Hold on to your capes! We're delving into the Rosales index, and Albert Rosales's Humanoid Encounters. There's aliens, blood-sucking mini-skirted alternative ladies, and astral projection. Jess also freaks out about some synchronicities and we're reminded that all things are connected. Sam gave us some insight on why the heck weed is so expensive in this edition of Meducation. We talked about how...

Double digits, baby! Forewarning - we fought with a thunderstorm for a bit at the beginning of this episode. It did make for some lovely ASMR! After asking the weather to please calm down, Sam told the story of the Hoosac Tunnel in Massachusetts, otherwise known as The Bloody Pit. The name certainly fits. For Meducation this week, we talked about one of our favorite subjects - Dreams! And Jess tel...

Welcome to Episode 9! This week we decided what to name our brand of Really Old Cheese, inspired by a Really Old Book!

*Drumroll* Please welcome our first ever guest, Kaylie, as she tells us about her experience at Eastern State Penitentiary! We talk about a lot of really relevant stuff in this episode, including white privilege and prison reform. Of course we didn't forget about the ghosts (entities?). This was a really long interview so there is no Meducation this week. Instead, please follow us on social media...

Don't touch the green fungi! Jess tells us about a really bad trip that a family experienced in Kentucky - the Kelly-Hopkinsville Encounter. Because owls are also goblins, apparently.

Grab your moon shoes! Jess is taking us on a wild ride with the story of Spring-Heeled Jack. He might be a cryptid, could be a ghost, could be an alien? Who knows! But he looooves prankin'.

This week, Jess went international with the story of an old ass house. We also learn why you should always take your socks off before sex... Possibly because of the demons.
