Only If You Can Keep Up

Two chaotic minds discussing all things weird & mysterious. We both have ADHD and feed off each other's random thoughts. We may go off subject a bit, but we will provide you with a large variety of weird, creepy, and interesting topics. We touch a bit on true crime, strange places, haunts, literally anything that isn't "normal". We talk fast and can be a little weird at times, but join us.... only if you can keep up!
