The Mysterious Life of Helen Duncan

Is spirit snot a symptom for the common cold? No? Either way, this week Alex & Christie talk the spooky but questionable happenings of the infamous Scottish medium, Helen Duncan. You won't want to miss out on the hot tea that her former maid spilled, or why a Lieutenant wasn't impressed at one of the seances. Need a distraction? We got you.  Podcast promos: Dos Spookqueños & Give Us Morgue – Check them out! Listener discretion is advised. Have a story recommendation or want to provide feedback?
