Send us a text What a delicious week for news! Particularly if you're a fan of wine. We're bringing you all the latest and greatest (and let's be honest, some stuff that's really not great at all but needs to be said.) We'll uncover why you shouldn't run across the Atlantic in a giant hampster wheel of death, that when enough people practice corpse pose, it can look like a mass suicide, and that you shouldn't offer to help anyone who says they're having car trouble, because it could mean certain...

Send us a text We've made the executive decision to start Spooky Season early on EBC, because let's face it, it's always Spooky Season around here! We're kicking things off by getting down and dirty with one of Halloween's OG monsters : the vampire! He's hungry for blood, shape shifting on the reg and can't help but count grains of rice...? There's a lot we don't know about these creatures of the night, and we're going to dig into it all. We'll draw inspiration from vampiric queens like Sekhmet ...

That's right, we're covering the infamous Maury Island Incident! In 1947, the Cold War was in its infancy, and Americans were looking to the skies with fear. But after one fateful summer- nicknamed by many 'the summer of saucers'- we learned that Russian attacks weren't the only thing to be afraid of. The UFO sighting o...

Don't worry, before we get too carried away (in a UFO?) Joe Nickell brings us back down to earth. As always, it's spooky and it's fun and god damn we want to believe it. Hap...

Those interested in joining them were encouraged to attend an informational session where they could learn how to transition “from human level to the next level.” So beg...
