Spoop Hour

Spoop Half Hour: Tell Me About it Stud

In a very special episode, we bust out Sasha's 50+ year old Ouija board and commune with local spirits in our area! Spoiler alert: More happens than we were expecting...so listen to us get thoroughly spooped!

Beastie from the Seastie

We're closing out MerMay with legends of sea monsters in this week's episode! Learn about the elusive Kraken, a variety of sea monsters both real and mythical, and then kick over to a freshwater loch for the end all and be all of loch monsters: Nessie. With a listener story about arsonist pirate ghosts, terrible pronunciation of Gaelic and Norwegian words, and real talk about deep sea bloat, it's an episode you don't want to miss.

Spoop Half Hour: We Love a Globster

In our first ever mini episode, we take a quick look at some haunted theaters around DC, discuss the Monster of Monterey Bay, and state our love for enthusiastic rock band drummers. We are also soliciting questions for a potential Q&A fun sized episode in the next few weeks, so ask us anything (it doesn't have to be spoop related!): spoophour@gmail.com

 

 

WE ARE MOVING, so our schedule will be a bit wonky in the coming weeks. There will be a full sized episode next week, then another fun sized one, then either a week off or a mini episode, for that weekend we move into the new Spoop House. Thank you for your patience!

 

The Lost City of Fartlantis

We swim back to MerMay in this episode, checking out sunken civilizations of both myth and reality! Learn where and when the myth of the lost city of Atlantis began, hear about how we're all secretly from Mu, and take a dive off a tiny island in Japan to discover the Yonaguni Monument.

Boink and How Do You Feel

It's time for some spoop care! We tried reiki and crystal healing this week with a mixed success rate. Learn about the history of reiki, using rocks to bonk away illness, and why you really don't have to talk to fish if you don't want to.

Too Hot to Be a Fish

It's MerMay y'all! Dive in to this episode covering the most bewitching of all sea creatures: mermaids. Get to know some of the oldest documented mermaid myths, hear the bleak details of the original Little Mermaid, and learn why the sequel to the Shape of Water probably isn't about dugongs.

Spoopspeare ft 33% Pulp

Hope you're ready to get your PhD in spoop with this week's megasized episode! We are joined by 2 of the hosts of 33% Pulp to rock talk about the spooky side of Shakespeare. Everything from witches to ghosts to the bubonic plague is covered, so get the historical context behind some of literature's most famous supernatural entities!

 

 

(NOTE: There were some audio issues with one of the guests early in the episode. We tried to edit around it while still maintaining the thread of conversation, and the full audio resumes about 8 minutes in.)

Paranormal Hangover

Have you ever noped out of an antique store because a doll was looking at you the wrong way? Then this episode is for you! This week we take a look at haunted/cursed objects, including the Myrtles Plantation Mirror, the Dibbuk Box, the Hope Diamond, and of course, Annabelle and Aida, two old-timey dolls that are out to ruin lives.

Dole Hole

Is Disneyland really the happiest place on earth or is it just the most haunted? We explore the spooky side of Disney this week, discussing the Haunted Mansion and its origins, the Tower of Terror, and the man, the myth, the legend himself, Walt Disney. Find out whether he really is cryogenically frozen under Cinderella's castle!

Twinister Twinsanity

In this episode, we delve into the mysteries that surround the spookiest kind of siblings: twins! From the Silent Twins to the sinister twins in movies, get spooped with the lore behind the evil twin trope. And what twins episode would be complete without the folie a deux of the Eriksson twins?
