Trigger warning: discussion of abuse, suicide, and mental illness. Let Satan take over! This week we discussed one of New England's first possessions, the case of Elizabeth Knapp. She definitely ate cheesy potatoes, we fact-checked it. Jess also complained a ton about Puritan America and we talked about our privilege as witches in modern times. Meducation this week was once again brought to you by trans rights! Sam gave us another run-down of why different hormones effect the way that you proces...

Back into the weird world of cryptids we go! Jess told us about the legend of Champ, the lake monster from Lake Champlain. He could be a dinosaur, a horse, or even a whale.

We went international again this week and Jess covered the Edinburgh Vaults in Scotland. The history of this place isn't very pleasant, but that just makes for a creepier story, and more hauntings! Bonus: Jess also realizes that she may have actually had a paranormal experience here... But of course we will never be sure. Sam then Meducated us on the difference between smoking and vaping your weed, as well as the benefits/dangers of vaping. If you prefer to vape your nostalgia, this is the editi...

Jess needed an excuse to talk about Hellier again, so this week she covered remote viewing. This isn't your typical stage magic - it may even be a gift from extraterrestrials!

We packed a LOT of ghosts into this month's A Little Weird. There's ghosts who hate technology, witches who feed squirrels, and more of our friends that don't need a face to scream. We start out by reading some of our first stories sent in by our listeners!

Hold on to your capes! We're delving into the Rosales index, and Albert Rosales's Humanoid Encounters. There's aliens, blood-sucking mini-skirted alternative ladies, and astral projection.

Double digits, baby! Forewarning - we fought with a thunderstorm for a bit at the beginning of this episode. It did make for some lovely ASMR!
