Ep. 13: Body Under the Bed

Lucky 13! This week, Hannah tells Katy the gruesome urban legend about finding a dead body under your hotel bed, and explains why this grizzly tale is all too believable. Learn why hotels should definitely be paying their maids more, and why you should probably avoid establishments that include "travel-" or "econo-" in the name. Also, definitely check under your mattress, because there's a lot of room for bodies in the boxspring!
