Ep. 215: The Wampus Cat

Have you ever been out in the woods alone and felt like someone (or something) was watching you? Was that thing a cat/human hybrid with six legs? This week, Jarek joins the podcast to tell Hannah about the infamous Wampus Cat that lurks in the Appalachian wilderness. It's always a weird one when the Partsches get together, and this one is no exception--elephant seals, giant dongs, furries, and more! It's a shorter one, but you don't want to miss the man behind the production making a rare appearance behind the mic!

So pour your drinks, and join us for this spooky tale!

Ep. 214: Doppelgangers

Have you ever seen someone who looks just like someone else you know? Have you ever seen someone who looks just like yourself? This week, Hannah tells Katy about the phenomenon (and/or paranormal experience) of doppelgangers. From regular people discovering their "twin stranger", to benign astral projection, to omens of death, and more! The girls talk Snapchat filters, their own doppelganger encounters, crouching shadow people, spooky pranks, and more!

So pour your drinks, make sure you know who's in your house, and join us for this Spooky Story!

Ep. 213: Daniel LaPlante

Have you ever heard strange noises in your house, or felt like you're being watched? Do you come home to find items in your house moved around? Well, you might just have a cat. Or, you could be experiencing what the Bowen family experienced in 1987 when what they first thought was the spirit of their deceased mother turned out to be something much more sinister. This week, Hannah tells Katy the story of Daniel LaPlante, and the havoc he wreaked on one family before escalating to violence, and almost certainly becoming a serial killer. The girls talk blood-letting, the chaotic TTWT drinking game that needs to be revisited, cats vs. poltergeists, mental health, and more!

So pour your drinks, check all your doors (including the crawlspace), and join us for this spooky story!

LIVE Show: June 26, 2024 @ Pinkys The Pub Upstairs in downtown New Bern, NC!

Ep. 212: The Mad Stone

Summer safety tip: if you see a racoon acting drunk during the day, avoid it (and probably call Animal Control). This week, Hannah tells Katy about the legendary Mad Stone that might be able to help you if you ignore that advice, and get bitten by a rabid animal. The girls talk about werewolves, science, more reasons to distrust birds, vaccination efforts, and what to do if you wake up to find a bat in your room. The tangents are plentiful, but the story is a fun one (plus, free medical advice!)

So pour your drinks, check your pets' vaccination records, and join us for this tale of Local Lore!

Ep. 211: Juliane Koepcke

If you're about to take a trip involving any kind of air travel, maybe skip this episode. This week, Hannah tells Katy about the remarkable story of Juliane Koepcke: an amazing young woman who faced one of the worst things that can happen to a person (a plane crash) and survived. It's not our usual stuff, but if you're scared of flying and/or being alone in a huge rainforest facing certain death, you might find it spooky.

So pour your drinks (even if it's just the leftovers from two opened bottles of wine) and join us for this incredible tale!
