    18. The Lore and Hauntings of Manitou Springs ft. Rachel

    Annelise and Rachel recall a bizarre experience at small town Manitou Springs, Colorado a few years back. At the time, they knew nothing about the history of the town. Turns out, it's a pretty weird place, and it's definitely haunted.

    12. The Oakville Blobs Incident

    Annelise discusses the mysterious Oakville Blobs incident in Washington State, exploring the theories and implications of the strange phenomenon. The incident involved the unexplained appearance of gelatinous blobs that fell from the sky, causing illness and death among residents and animals. The lack of official explanation and the involvement of state agencies and military operations add to the intrigue of the story.

    11. The Cary House Hotel ft. Madison

    For this episode, we podcasted FROM the actual Cary House! In the middle of the night! The Cary House Hotel is a historic, haunted hotel in Placerville, California that dates back to 1849. We talk about the history of the city, history of the hotel, murders, hauntings, and our own experience there. We had so much fun. Disclaimer: YES we are very tired at the beginning of this episode but I PROMISE we gradually get more peppy and silly as the episode goes on!
