  • 143. Mercy Brown, Vampire Ghost
    Feb 19 2025

    It's time to talk about Mercy Brown, not to be confused with Murphy Brown. One is a fesity single mother who endeared herself to us by shaking up the workplace in the '80s, and the other is a vampire. So try to keep them straight.

    This is the story of Mercy Brown. Come for the ghost, stay for Prince would hate that, they called it a curse and in some ways it is, snort it, you fool!, thicken up them walls, two is fine; four is greedy, we have a pool going, oh no did he catch it again?, and just let them take off your head.

  • 142. The Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas
    Feb 12 2025

    We're wrapping up our Ozarks suite with the crown jewel of holler haunts, the most haunted hotel in America! And as the most haunted hotel in America, you won't be surprised to learn that its roots are in shystery and chicanery. It's a story that feels WAY too familiar in these, our modern times.

    This is the story of the Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Come for the ghosts, stay for the big building trifecta, the worst tone poem, aluminum and medical bigotry, “Does that feel like cancer?”, the donkey is drowning under the weight of the bottles, it smells like the kitchen, and best friend pontoons.

    This is the story of the Castle House in Brumley, MO. Come for the ghosts, stay for $GHOST, nobody doesn’t like childless witches, rabbit DNA, in my merchant era, nobody has feet now, it’s either on the skin or it’s not, the Boaty McBoatface of children, and you've ruined my beautiful stairs.
