Episode description

Happy Spooky Wednesday! To start off this week, Kala tells us about Fort McHenry in Baltimore, Maryland, which is actually the inspiration behind The Star-Spangled Banner! This Historical Shrine has played a key role in multiple wars, and it has the ghosts to prove it. The spirits of those who died to protect the United States are still lingering at their posts well into their afterlife. And Brittany talks about Elmwood Cemetery in Memphis, Tennessee. This is kind of the "compliment sandwich" of ghost stories by including a cute story, a tragic story, and then ending with another cute story. Who will you encounter at Elmwood Cemetery? The group of besties meeting for their morning chats, the woman who was driven to kill the love of her life, or the ghost who is just fascinated with modern plumbing? Either way, you're sure to be scared.


Editors Note: People from Memphis are called Memphians, apparently.
