We’re taking another trip into the mythical and fantastical this week! Holly will be telling us all about the stories around the mysterious Will-o’-the-wisp. These fascinating little creatures make their home around Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and England leading unsuspecting travelers astray. We’ll also be dipping our toes in the bog and learning a bit about the science that could be behind Will-o’-the-wisps.

Hey gang, we're BACK! Thanks for joining us again for more of the morbid, macabre, and unusual. In our first episode back, Brooke will be sharing all about Toad Stones. Are they precious gems? Magical stones? Terrifying teeth? We'll cover all the possibilities this week as we get back into the groove!

Nursery rhymes aren't just creepy when sung in a horror movie, some of them have some very macabre origins. Holly will be delving into the history of some classic nursery rhymes like Ring-around-the-Rosie and Baa Baa Black Sheep. We'll also be talking about some lesser known nursery rhymes that have their own histories steeped in death and betrayal.

Audio Warning: We had some technical difficulties and Holly may be a little quiet at certain parts. Sorry folks!

What really happened at the abandoned amusement park, Okpo Land? Brooke will be taking us through the urban legends surrounding this rundown amusement park. While many people have photographed and documented the abandoned grounds, we still don't know the truth behind the stories of fatal accidents and what the duck shaped cars have seen.

A lot of people have their own experiences of building snowmen/snow-people as soon as that first snow starts to stick, but why do we do it? When did it start? Brooke's chilly episode will be all about snow-people throughout history. We'll even get to hear about some famous snow festivals and other surprising facts related to the winter weather.

Get ready for a very special Shahri-sode!! The long anticipated debut of Shahri’s episode is here and they’re kicking it off with a deep dive into psychopathy. They’ll be taking us through the history of the term and some of the myths around it. We’ll also be hearing from our guest, Sherwin, this episode as they give us a medical perspective on the topic.

Welcome back during this holiday season for a very special emu-sode! Brooke confronts her fear of birds to tell us about the Australian war against the Emu population. In the 1930s Australia sanctioned a planned attack against the wild Emu population that were ruining crops. While the Emus weren’t necessarily mounting their own military attack, they may have been the winners!

We're going back to the basics with an episode full of strange historical facts and macabre masks. Holly gives an overview of funerary masks from many cultures and their significance before delving into their more modern counterparts: death masks. Death masks have their own unique history as artistic references, forensic tools, and ways to remember loved ones.
