Cults, Cryptids, and Conspiracies

Two friends decided to make podcast about all the weird crap from history that sometimes can't be explained. Chelsea is here for political conspiracies, Cristina is here for the history and the science behind it all. From mysteries in ancient times to people missing in present day. From doomsday cults throughout history to international politics. From Bigfoot to Dropbears. If it's weird, we want to talk about it.

Parlor Of The Paranormal: First Grave On The Right

First Grave on the Right by Darynda Jones is a fever dream of a book. It's two separate books mashed together with little to no link between them.
