Spoop Hour

We're spooping while sleepy on this week's minisode! Hear about Sasha's haunted train toy and Courtney's mysteriously bloodstained hotel bed. Then find out our paranormal futures with a spoopy cootie catcher (aka paper fortune teller).

It's a MURDER EPISODE this week! While not necessarily spoopy, both Courtney and Sasha love some true crime, so we talk two of the spoopiest cases we know: the Andrews family haunting and the Carbon Copy Murders. Then, just in time for Pride and to lift us back up, meet our new favorite bisexual swashbuckling serial stabber Julie D'Aubigny!

SPONTANEOUS HUMAN COMBUSTION. Is it real? (Probably not.) Is it weird? (For sure.) Are we talking about it this week? ABSOLUTELY. We talk the science and theories behind all varieties of spontaneous human combustion before investigating the case of the Cinder Woman Mary Reeser and other historical instances of humans bursting into flame.

We're traveling back in time to explore the spooky lore of ancient Egypt! From historical monsters to one of the world's oldest ghost stories, we're talking about how much we love ancient Egypt one blood-drinking vampire goddess at a time.

The news has been abnormally spoopy, so get caught up on the latest cults, secret identities, and more with this episode! We discuss the Sarah Lawrence cult incident, the mysterious case of Treva Throneberry, and which reclusive cryptid may have finally made an appearance...

It's not a dream: on this week's episode, we're talking nightmares! Everything from deja reve to nightmare logic to zombies to rains of frogs is getting spooped, so grab your baku talisman and tuck yourself in.

Did you wish for a new episode? Wish granted, no lamp rubbing necessary! We're talking jinns, genies, and wishes gone wrong this week, though we take a lengthy detour into the worlds of cloaca, pooping on airplanes, and where the Shrek movies went wrong.

In a very special minisode, we talk to the one and only Snack Czar of the much discussed Snacket! We talk the history and future of the Snacket, favorite snacks, how terrible pickles are, possible snack matchups, and more. Make a charcuterie board and have a listen!

 

(We'll be back with a regular episode next week after our spoopy spring break ends. Check out the Snacket at thesnacket.net, on Facebook, or Twitter @thesnacket.)

Special ghost and real life friend Mike joins us to chat superstitions! Whether you're superstitious (or just a little stitious), answer the question Feelin' Lucky, Punk? Then Mike tells us why the left-handed get the short end of the stick when it comes to superstitions. Then look at colors, food, and beverages through the lens of the paranormal to find out how to wear, eat, and drink good luck.

Death is weird! Let's talk about it - specifically, the strange phenomena of exploding corpses and crisis apparitions. First, say OVER MY DEAD BODY with a game about funeral traditions, then find out what makes bodies go boom, what a crisis apparition is, and why they're not the same as ghosts.
