    #64- Witches World Wide 3D Episode

    Welcome to Spooky Season! It's witch week at The Spooky Darlings! We each chose a witch from a different part of the world, and they're a spellbinding lineup: the shape-shifting brujas of La Biznaga, Mexico; Isobel Gowdie, a Scottish woman who confessed to witchcraft at Auldearn near Nairn in 1662; and Tía Casca and her ancestor, Dorotea, of Trasmoz, Spain, a village that still carries its curse and excommunication today. Folk magic, witch trials, and a family of witches, all in one episode.

    #63- A Funeral or a Fraud?- Messy Morticians 3D episode.

    When you hire a mortician, you're trusting them with the most vulnerable moment of your life: your dead body. This week the Darlings dig into what happens when that trust goes sideways. Jeannette opens with the case of Dale Omsberg, a Lincoln City mortician who stacked bodies like cords of wood, but was only  sentenced to 30 days behind bars. Then we hop across the pond with Hayley, where English mortician Robert Bush was convicted of startlingly similar crimes — except he walked away with 20 years. Same betrayal, wildly different justice. And to close it out, we head back to the early aughts where Jean Crump committed crimes with a crew of old ladies, each bringing her own specialty to the table — phlebotomy, tax know-how, estate law. Basically a con-artist Ocean's Eleven of funerals. Three morticians, three eras, one uncomfortable question: how well do we actually know the people handling our loved ones after they're gone?

    Cryptid Crawl #28:Nevada! All for our Cryptids!

    We’re heading to Nevada!  First, we dive into the eerie legends of Water Babies—mysterious creatures whose cries are said to lure the curious to their fate. Then we dig into the story of the Lovelock Giants, the red-haired giants supposedly discovered inside a Nevada cave and the very real archaeological finds that helped fuel the legend. And finally we turn our gaze upward for the Flying Space Clams, one of Nevada’s strangest UFO encounters, involving bizarre clam-like creatures touching down in the desert and soaring through the sky.  Stay spooky, darlings!
