  • Travel Story: Beware of Highway 78
    May 11 2022

    DISCLAIMER: In the episode, I mention one of these stories is funny and you can quickly hear me going from giggles to shock.  I must have a bad memory from when I first heard the stories told to me because both are horror stories, and the fact they are true is horror itself. Alabama is a beautiful place in many ways, but this episode will have you wondering what you would do in the same situations and what happens on long country roads with no one watching.

    Pour yourself some tea and join Grandma Lollie again for southern tales from the past on her experience driving on old Alabama Highway 78 in the 1950s; a primetime for ghost stories and terrifying encounters with the infamous KKK.

    Join Norman and Mark, as we Look back at the atomic tests, carried out in the Nevada desert. Bizarrely,  Las Vegas took advantage and would advertise the atomic testing as a feature to visit the city. Norman has a go at Mark's atomic test. We also hear about the Victorian condition known as "Bicycle face". A condition that would apparently affect cycling women.
