Episode description
We are back for season four! Huzzah!! This episode is inspired by all the time we are spending at home with our pets. The topic is para-animals, or animals with special powers. First, Cody shares the tragic story of Overtoun Bridge, made infamous for its ability to make dogs jump off it, sometimes to their deaths (sad face). Then, Chris talks about a very special horse known as Lady Wonder, a very accurate predictor of future events. Next, Cody talks about N’kisii, a telepathic parrot who could read the mind of his owner. Finally, Chris tells the sadly sweet story of Oscar, the cat who has accurately predicted over a thousand deaths. This week brings two Creep of the Week stories, one from a listener, and the other from fellow podfriend Seth. Drinks are Babe Red Wine and Pink Salty Dog (along with some Animal Crackers).Intro Music: 0:00s-0:26s
