Everyone, It's an actual episode this week. Wow!

Have you ever looked at a prop in haunted house and thought about what if that was a real person? Well this week we have an answer for that unspoken question! This week Meredith brings us another curious case. This one of being Elmer McCurdy also known as 'The Bandit who wouldn't give up'. He was an American outlaw who was unlucky in life and in death and he was found in an amusement park in California years after his death. But how he got there is a mystery.

Our drink this week is a classic made from two American things; whiskey and Coke. We present to you a whiskey Coke. Probably one of the easiest drinks that you can make.

Remember that desecration of a corpse is morally wrong, always drink responsibly, and don't be a dick.

Here is a brief announcement about this week's episode. We ran into our first corrupted file. It's not good at all. We are working on getting the problem sorted out and we'll be back soon. In the meantime, can we suggest that you take a look at all of our other episodes? We promise that they're all just as good.

Thank's for listening, remember to stay safe, always drink responsibly, and don't be a dick.

Please be aware even the Japanese language isn't safe from this podcast, we'll butcher it too! Sorry in advance.

It's episode 45 and we off to the land of vending machines, robotic toilets, and weird game shows. It's Meredith's turn to show us some of the unique folklore creatures that call Japan Home. We'll cover everything from an umbrella that likes to lick you, a woman that will steal your legs, and a monster that will stroke your butt as you use the toilet. These creatures ranges from cute to down right disturbing. A huge thank you to Yokai.com for providing the information in this episode. Again, we're sorry if you speak Japanese

To accompany all of our creatures we'll sip on an unassuming yet dangerous cocktail that is only connected by name, The Japanese Slipper. A electric green cocktail that is just what you need for the summer. It's a drink that even a Haridashi would like.

Remember tanukis might not be as cute as you think, always drink responsibly, and don't be a dick

Hide yo kids and hide yo wife, this week horror comes home.

(Should be the last episode with jankie audio)

Lock your doors Emma, is bring the horror home this week with the rise of domestic horror. We talk classic horror movies and give an attempt for movie trivia. But Emma brings us an in depth look about how some movie sets might be cursed and how the imaginary can have real world impacts. Plus how some of the most well known people in haunting investigations might not be what they seem to be.

Our drink this week is the Sumo Margarita, which does have a tie in to the week's topic, I promise it does.

Remember, the Devil might be stopping us from talking about things, always drink responsibly, and don't be a dick!

Get your swamp boats and your Mardi Gras beads ready we are going to New Orleans!

Specifically this week Meredith takes us down South to the Big Easy where we get to respectfully talk about a cemetery. We were told that there is a surprising lack of cemetery content for our haunted podcast. You asked and we deliver. To talk about one of the oldest cemeteries is a great honor. Saint Louis Cemetery no. 1 is nearly as old as the United States and is home to a few very historical figures. One that may or may not be immortal.

For the drink we get to sample one of the most well know cocktails state side, one that was actually born in The French Quarter and near the topic of today's episode. Meredith educates us on the Hurricane, which was made because of a surplus of rum at the time.

Remember that grave desecration is against the law, always drink responsibly, and don't be a dick.

There is a new mic and mixer on the way! We promise that the audio will improve, thanks for you patience.

This week, get your ushanka and your matryoshka dolls ready we are going to visit Mother Russia! Also the Audio is rough again, we're sorry. We're working on it.

Emma knows that it isn't spooky lake month but she wants to celebrate early, so here we are. Specifically Emma blows Meredith's mind talking about Lake Baikal and the crazy sounds that seem strait out of Star Wars. We have it all this episode, talks about being in a submersible with Putin, ways to stay safe on the ice, and of course all the spooky things that happen in and on Lake Baikal.

You should know by now that our drink we have this week. It's a tried and true classic, we have the Moscow Mule. It is January, which means that we are in full swing for "Dry January". We have the NA version of the drink, but you can easily make it in to the refreshing cocktail that we all know and love.

Remember, not to go looking for the Baikal mermaids, always drink responsibly and don't be a dick.

It's the new year, but it's also the same mid audio. (I'm sorry I did the best I could)

Welcome to 2026, the year where we hope things go well and that we can get some decent audio ( I promise, we are trying to). This week Meredith brakes out the history book and brings us a spiritual predecessor to the show. We discuss a haunted wine cabinet, better known as the Dybbuk Box.

We also start the year off with a refreshing wine based drink. We acknowledge that it's normally dry January, but we just couldn't pass wine up for this story.

Remember Not all things on the internet are real, always drink responsibly, and don't be a dick.

Have you ever wondered if your Grandma hates you? Well if she gives you a cursed painting, she does.

Emma teaches us about a creepy painting called "The Anguished Man". A supposedly haunted (or cursed) painting with unknown origins. We are going to find so many things wrong with this story, just get ready for it

The drink this week is right on theme with the story too. It's a cursed recipie since it called for one of the worst ingredients of all time. But do we hate ourselves enough to actually go through with it.

Remember, you are the worst, always drink responsibly, and don't be a dick
