Old friends discuss local legends starting with the ones they know from their home state. Legendary people, places, and random facts about Indiana abound here. While we started in Indiana, the world is full of legends and we want to explore them. Laughter, history, and spooky facts included. We like getting down to the bottom of these legends and giving both the facts as well as the lore. If history and interesting stories, sometimes with a spooky bent, are up your alley, so are we! We like telling each other stories and hope you will like them too! Oh, one more thing, you want ghosts? That's how you get ghosts...

Megasode 3.0: The Limb Episode
Tori starts off the latest megasode with several movie references and the Old Joliet Prison. Yet another prison with deplorable conditions, ghosts, and movie scenes. Also, they buried limbs in the cemetery there. Krysti comes around with Pere Lachaise Cemetery in Paris. Add in a vampire, a battle site, a horny gravesite, and you want ghosts? Because that’s how you get ghosts. Chuck comes round with a Central American cryptid, the mysterious Aluxes, or the little people of Mexico. These Mayan legends have stuck around to this day. Malcolm brings us to Scotland and the Culloden Battlefield. The last stand of the Jacobites against the British Duke of Cumberlands troops. A series of poor tactical choices and being outgunned made this the site of an absolute massacre. There seems to be an echo of this battle that ripples through every year on the anniversary. Happy bday to Tori, she got the gamut of fun stories right up her alley for this episode.

Where We Learn it's Not a Kilt if You Are Wearing Underwear
Krys leads off with the tale of Versailles and it’s royal history. This palace is one of the most extravagant palaces on the face of the planet. Throughout the upheaval of the French Revolution this was a physical example of the divide between haves and have nots. Time slips, ghosts, and perhaps even the Queen herself visits from beyond the brave. Some of the furniture still there is some of the originals as well. You want ghosts? Tori picked another haunted castle, this time in the UK, Chillingham Castle. This 12th century monastery turned castle is one of the most haunted castles in the world. Being on the border between Scotland and England, this castle has actually seen battle. Add in some torture, executions, and other violent death, the sheer amount of ghosts is impressive. The castle is now an inn, would you want to to stay there with some of the previous denizens?

A Starbucks and a Tangent
Tori leads off with Pike Place Market in Seattle. This is apparently one of the most haunted spots on the West Coast. The oldest continuously open market in the US, the sheer size of this market shocked Tori. This market has insane amounts of social implications as well. And ghosts, all the ghosts. Krys is back in Paris for a disturbing true crime tale. Marcel Petiot was a sick, sick man that killed all over France. This man was really, really good at suckering the cops as well. Add in some tangents, because we’re us and there’s this week’s episode!

Rumors of a Phantom and a New Definition of Petty Officers
Krysti leads off with the Opera Garnier Paris and its illustrious history. This opera house spurred rumors of a phantom, has an underground lake, and is all sorts of fancy to boot. This historical building fields 400+ performances per year and was built to be a safe place for the elite to see performances without coming under attack. This was the opera house that spurred the Phantom of the Opera novel. Krys also covers the Rue de Chantres and its gruesome story. Tori goes back to her roots and covers, you guessed it, a cemetery. Arlington National Cemetery in Fort Myer, VA has long been a draw when you visit Washington D.C. The history of this cemetery tells us that the owners of the grounds before it became the cemetery backed the wrong team. This cemetery has one of the most stringent requirements for burial out of all the national cemeteries. So. Many. Stories. And don't mess with petty quartermasters...

Customer Reviews
5 stars
This podcast is a must listen. Love the variety of topics. Started with the episode on Belle Guinness and I’m hooked. Subscribed and ready to binge!
Who said education can’t be fun?!?
These two ladies banter will have you cracking up in no time, all the while they are presenting not only the urban legends of the week but historical and factual background information. Well researched and playfully presented, they are a joy to listen to!
You must listen...NOW!!!!
Two friends dive into legends and debunk what they can, educate where they can and are always entertaining! Someone told me my review should be “they made me do this”, but they did not so that would be a lie. What is not a lie is how entertaining these two are and how well researched and thought out the episodes are! I give it two snaps and a circle!
