Show notes

It’s not always magic, fairy dust, and mouse ears at Disney Parks. Stories have been told of creepier things lurking behind the corners at these magical theme parks. And what might be the cause? Maybe it’s the numerous deaths that have occurred around the parks. The happiest place on earth? More like the spookiest place on earth! Join Sav and Bree with special guest Gage as they explore the Disney Park's spookier side.

Episode 45: Scarecrows Aug 01, 2023

Show notes

It’s Halloween night and you’ve decided to take a walk through your local neighborhood. There is a cool nip in the air and the leaves are crunching under your feet. But then you hear an odd rustling sound as you walk past a cornfield. You turn around to inspect the noise only to find nothing. No one is there. You decide to ignore it and resume your walk, when you see something move out of the corner of your eye. You turn back around only to see a scarecrow suspended in the air on a piece of wood. “Oh! It’s just a scarecrow” you think to yourself. But that wasn’t there before, was it? Join Sav and Bree as they talk about a Halloween favorite - Scarecrows!

Episode 44: Games to Play In The Dark: Ritual Games Jul 10, 2023

Show notes

Some of us might have played them as kids, some of us might have been too scared. Too scared to risk tearing down the sheet that keeps us separated from the other side. Too frightened to actually see someone or something lurking in your house. Too horrified to wonder if you’ll ever make it out alive. Grab your candle, your matches and some friends and join Sav and Bree for some ritual games.

**WARNING we do NOT encourage or recommend anyone playing any of the games discussed in this episode. We do not wish any to put themselves or others in danger. Also, in this episode we give directions in the game "Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board" that one participant is chosen to "die." We want to make it clear that the person is not actually supposed to die. They are meant to pretend to act dead. This episode also discusses sensitive topics such as the death of minors.

Episode 42: Halloween Phobias Jun 27, 2023

Show notes

Turning the calendar to "October" is a sign of merry and enjoyable holidays for many individuals. For our friends in the Northern Hemisphere, October is the month when summer's heat gives way to fall's mild temperatures and the longing for winter is piqued. This may be a truly enchanted time of year. However, for other people, October serves as a glorified memory of dread, horror, and fright! Join Sav and Bree as they explore the Top 7 Halloween Phobias from Psychology Today.
