What haunts the land of the Gods? Turns out it's a lot of shadow people and they're real jerks about the whole thing. On this episode, Greece reveals some of its high strangeness, both ancient and modern

Also: Paul expresses his love of Kefalonia, there is some debate as to which installment of Valerius Maximus' 1st century series "Factorum ac dictorum memorabilium libri" was too commercial, and we make a shameless attempt to draft off the SEO for Christopher Nolan's massive hit film "The Odyssey"

This one represents a first for GSG - never before have we recorded an episode while my phone is blowing up with tornado warnings! The only thing scarier than that is the collection of listener stories we told while the wind was blowing - three never-before-heard-in-English tales of German poltergeists, spirits next to the bed, presences in the basement, and more, all of which are united by one commonality: They. See. You.
