Episode 37: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
Happy Halloween listeners! After recently taking a little trip upstate to Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow I thought no better time to discuss the infamous legend of the Headless Horseman and how it came to be. Strap in because you are in for some history, a spooky tale and the origins of the frightening spirit the Irish call the Dullahan.

Episode 36: Double Feature - The Hanging Outlaw & The Living Doll of Key West
In today’s episode, we are going to be doing something a little different. We will cover two bone chilling short stories that are so beyond creepy that it’ll be almost hard to believe and will leave you never looking at mannequins the same way again. The first story is called The Hanging Outlaw about a hanging fun house wax figure that has a gnarly history and the second story is called The Living Doll of Key West about a radiologist that finds his obsession in a one-sided love affair and takes it a little too far.
