  • The town that went from turnips-of-terror to trick-or-treat

    The town that went from turnips-of-terror to trick-or-treat
    Oct 30 2024
    We’re peeling back the eerie origins of Halloween, Scottish-style—where carving pumpkins would’ve gotten you side-eye from a town full of turnip-wielding revelers. Turns out, Scotland’s Halloween celebrations involved veggies that look way scarier than anything you’ll find on a Pinterest board. And let’s not forget Jenny Greenteeth, the local hag of nightmares who perfected drowning people with style.

    Karmen and Jessica are diving into why the Scots first started hacking away at turnips, and exploring some delightfully dark lore from around the globe. Because nothing says Halloween like folklore that might just inspire you to sleep with one eye open.

    For those who think our current holiday’s a little basic, come get your frightful fix the way it was originally served—one terrifying turnip at a time. Don't miss your exit.

  • The town that put a spell on you

    The town that put a spell on you
    Oct 15 2024
    We're taking a trip down to the bayou to meet New Orleans' most infamous local: the one and only Marie Laveau, the Voodoo Queen herself. Was she a powerful spiritual healer, a feared sorceress, or just the best at running the city’s underground rumor mill? We’re unraveling the life, magic, and myths surrounding the original boss witch who ruled New Orleans with a side of gris-gris and charm.

    We’ll explore how Marie’s mix of spirituality, medicine, and maybe just a hint of witchcraft made her a legend that still haunts the French Quarter today.

    So grab your lucky charms (no, not the cereal) and dive into an episode filled with magic, mystery, and the sassiest witch this side of the Mississippi. Tune in, because even centuries later, Marie Laveau’s spell is still going strong. Don't miss your exit.

  • The town with a witch in the Superstition Mountains

    The town with a witch in the Superstition Mountains
    Oct 1 2024
    Buckle up, folks, because this week we’re trading small-town gossip for spine-chilling folklore. Get ready for the dark and twisted tale of María Miranda, the so-called "Witch of Guadalupe," and the legendary curse she placed on Josefina Chavez—a curse that ended with murder. Yep, small-town drama just got extra supernatural.

    We’ll dig into the gritty details of Josefina’s tragic fate, investigate María’s mysterious reputation, and—because no eerie tale is complete without some desert vibes—venture into the haunting Superstition Mountains, where treasure seekers, ghost hunters, and those with bad life choices go to get seriously lost.

    Was it a curse? A crime of passion? Or just another day in the Wild West? Don't miss your exit. Because in Guadalupe, Arizona, it's not just the heat that'll get you—it's the witch’s curse too.
