Banshees and Booze

This is it, folks! After 5 years and an uncountable number of burps, Amie and Tami are signing off with this very special episode that brings us full circle. Our very first topic in episode 1 was Marylin Monroe, and for our final recording we rented a room in the place where Marylin had her very own suite and spent some of her happiest years: THE HOLLYWOOD ROOSEVELT! We talk Marylin's ghost, conspiracy theories about her death, and a lot about nachos. We wrapped up some loose ends with our remaining 50 States of Ghosts locations, and Tami finally get s to pay off a joke she set up like 2 years ago (it's the final episode and OU STILL SUCKS!). Our deepest thank you to all of our listeners who have kept us laughing and spooked us out for 162 episodes. We hope you enjoyed this as much as we did. And remember, if you see a ghost... .

Ahhh... nothing like a sip of the old sock-strained garbage water at the end of a long day... This week is the first (and last!) ever WILD CARD episode! No rules, just right! Tami reads from a fascinating/depressingly still true article about folks discovering their home is haunted thanks to the quarantine. And Amie sneaks in the first lady appreciation of this Women's History month with the tale of a Mexican nurse ghost who has exposed our complete lack of Spanish language skills. They shouldn't have offered French in high school, ok??? All that, and yet another reason to put of your annual gyno appointment... .

We're falling apart! Everything from desk disasters to figuring out we're too old for mesothelioma, this week's 50 States of Ghosts on PENNSYLVANIA has us humbled. Amie takes us through the ghost-hustlin' and generically-named Hill View Manor where they nickel and dime you into the grave... and beyond! And Tami talks cancer-causing flame-proofing at the Clifton 5 Theater. Hey, if it didn't burn down at least a few times, is it even an old-timey theater? idk, I'll have to ask my bestie, Mr. Gargoyle Peoples... he's on the list. .

What's more macho than a loud-ass motorcycle? A loud-ass motorcycle blasting Footloose, of course! This week puts Tami's pregnancy hormones to the test when we discuss GHOST PETS!!! Tami learns what literally everyone apparently already knew about red cardinals and how they can be a sign of passed loved ones, and really brings the whole room down talking about a dead dog named Duckie. Amie brings us a variety of My Ghost Stories tales about pets, an upsetting number of which feature pets who have neglected to bring a few body parts with them from beyond. Give your fur babies some extra love tonight, and don't trust the establishment: what were the cops trying to hide about Duckie??? .

Thank goodness this is a podcast, because we are SICK of seeing our own faces these days! Luckily we've got a new face to distract us with our first in a very long time guest, Kyla! She is bringing us corn huskin' realness for our episode on NEBRASKA!! First, Amie tells us about a fellow spooky-inspired thespian who's had some creepy encounters at the Temple Theater in Lincoln, Nebraska. Wait, there's someone other than us who's got a theatre degree AND an interest in the paranormal? And Tami talks us through some cringey multi-generational action at the Cornerstone Mansion Bed & Breakfast in Omaha. And the highlight of this episode is the literal TON of spooky stories that Kyla shares about her own, and her childhood bestie's haunted AF Nebraska homes. Note to self: too many doors equal too damn ghosty! . We're Social!: www.bansheesandbooze.com www.instagram.com/bansheesandbooze www.twitter.com/bansheesnbooze .

Somebody call Kitty Protective Services, because these gals are crossing some boundaries! This week Tami and Amie watch and recap ghost shows, both new and old. Amie thirst-watches an episode of Ghost Brothers, where a family of four has to deal with hipster ghosts who don't consider 'Nsync worthy of vinyl. And Tami discovers the delightful Knock, Knock Ghost, where a group of gay Canadians joke and scream their way through a haunted fort. And, nbd, the Banshees are growing by two feet: Tami's having a baby! Stay tuned for her reluctant reviews of non-alcoholic drinks on future episodes, now that she's not lying through her teeth about it. Banshees and No Booze? This kid better be worth it... .

We are living our morals and we are MAD about it! This week is another Fifty States of Ghosts, and we're definitely not entirely sure where it is or how to say it. MISSOURI! First we take a dip in the hot springs-adjacent Elm Hotel and Spa that just wouldn't stay burned down. And Amie tries to remember the Four Ts of ghost middle management at the Beattie Mansion. Check your deductible and don't kink shame the insurance industry! . We're Social!: www.bansheesandbooze.com www.instagram.com/bansheesandbooze www.twitter.com/bansheesnbooze .

Happy New Year, Sad Old Bullshit! This week, we're rubbin' one out for GENIES! Tami literally does NOT understand the assignment and does some rather impressive Wikipedia research on the fly, and Amie reads through a variety of real life genie/jinn stories that cover everything from bullying bullies to a jinn that puts its complaints in writing. Look, the internet had a stroke this week, and we're just hoping this was 2021 throwing one last fit on us. May all your lang synes be auld in 2022! .

Happy Muppet Christmas Carol month! 'Tis the season for hanging out in airports, as we tackle HAUNTED MISSISSIPPI! Tami drinks a delicious tribute to Grandmama whilst being unable to say the name of a river in Meridian without laughing. And Amie introduces us to the weirdest house we've ever covered, The McRaven Mansion. This place has it all: highwaymen, temporary Civil War hospital status, and a pair of sisters that are #GrayGardensGoals. We may be desperate millennials with no hope of home ownership, but at least we don't live here. .

Is it the most wonderful time of the year? Are there scary ghost stories? Check. Tales of the glories? Check. Are the aforementioned tales from Christmases long, long ago? BIG CHECK! Join us for a very special episode of CHRISTMAS GHOSTS! Amie shares some facts about the reason for the season (hint: it's witchy af), whilst wondering why the Victorians thought murderous frogs were festive. Tami reads a few ghost stories that have a touch of the Christmas spirit (do you get it???). Let's raise a glass to the downfall of peeping tom Santas and, as always, A Muppet Christmas Carol, because it just does the most. It DOES, doesn't it? .

Ya know how to hiss, don't ya? Put your lips together and SCREAM! This episode got political before it even dropped, because this week's Fifty States of Ghosts installment is WASHINGTON DC! Tami tries to figure out if she qualifies as dour yet, while covering the (not) very well-known Lafayette Square Park. And Amie couldn't resist the allure of a demon cat whose buxom figure has been seen at the haunted (and recently ransacked) Capitol Building. Try listening to this episode backwards, and let us know if we can plead our own insanity defense. .

Which mom book do you get your egyptology knowledge from? This week Amie's got her smart glasses on for this episode on MUMMIES AND TOMBS! First up is the (allegedly) most cursed/curing mummy in all of Victorian England. This thing has everything from duck hunting on the Nile to the g-d Titanic! And Amie teaches us why you shouldn't trust Google translator for your hieroglyphic curses (hint: I don't think that's what donkeys are for). Is God mad because we took the Christ out of the common era? Who knows... we're drunk on chunky tomb wine! .

How do we explain any of this to Gen Z? Fresh off of Amie's Off Broadway debut, the gals bring you another in the Fifty States of Ghosts series: HAUNTED MICHIGAN! Don't panic, we haven't done this before, no matter how much Tim Allen bullied us. Amie does the haunted Makinac island, where the likes include fudge and the dislikes include alarm clocks. And Tami talks about a orphanage that is as depressing as it is haunted! We're surprised, then delighted to see you, just like our favorite 90s sitcom intros! .

Is it a microwave or is it an oubliette, and why are those the same thing in our households? This week we're getting medieval on your asses and talking HAUNTED CASTLES! Fidn out why the O'Bannons are O'Buttholes and the insane realty law that takes place at Leap Castle in Ireland. And you can count on the Count's Fued to have left quite a few ghosts (or are there?) at Dragsholm Castle in Denmark.

Is that tingling feeling paranormal, or just battery acid on your fingers? Strap in because we have two stories from the spookiest corner of the the state MASSACHUSETTS! Tami starts us out with a Salem jail built WITH and UPON a bunch of witch-murdering stones. And just in time for the holidays, Amie makes "visiting your cousin" a new porn genre - you're welcome! Broken recorders and Judge Dick Cheese are no match for us this week... just don't ask us to come up with a down payment. .

It's the most spookiest time of the year... That's right, it's time for the Banshees and Booze Halloween tradition: SPOOKY CAMPFIRE TALES!!! Amie shares some tales of local urban legends and myths, told by the people that grew up with them. And Tami decides to piss herself (without her FUD!) by reading scary stories of people camping 2 days before she, ya know... goes camping. (Spoiler alert: I'm alive and writing this!) So if you're Starbucks rich, be sure to shout Tabi-tabi po before you She Wee all that caffeine out, and remember... don't rat out Tami to Etsy! .

I bet you didn't know you would here so much crane content on this ghost podcast, but GUESS WHAT THIS IS A SPECIAL LOVE STORY! This week's Fifty States of Ghosts episode features quite possibly the most haunted state in the country: SOUTH CAROLINA!!! Tami shares tales of the Battery Carriage House in Charleston, where there are 3 separate rooms that need to be avoided (unless Tami is finally ready to date again...). And Amie takes us to an entire island that's haunted by more than just the rich wypipo who vacation there - think a Gray Man and a Boston Terrier who valiantly does not know his physical limitations. Enjoy these spooky tales, and be grateful you don't have to explain to your girlfriend about your bird work-wife. .

- Underwear and PJ protocol If you've ever wondered if Amie and Tami have strict underwear and PJ protocols, this is the episode for you! This week we're celebrating Indigenous Peoples Day, and eating (drinking?) a little crow! Tami reads an article that flips the cliché of the "ancient Indian burial ground" on it's head, and Amie reads some real stories from First Nations people that have the gals certain that they'll NEVER sleep again!

Is there anything more romantic than the presence of linens? Not if you're in HAUNTED NEW YORK! Start spreadin' the BOOS... Amie talks about the 19 too many ghosts in the restaurant One If By Land, Two If By Sea. Don't go there if you like to have two earrings at the same time (yikes!). And Tami brings us the cursed real estate at 57 West 57th Street, which at least has the convenience of an in-building insane asylum. Plus hear about Amie's spooky Italian first person story from the oldest AirBnB you've ever heard of! .

Freeze your bra and don't make too much noise, because my dad has to work in the morning. Amie and Tami go back and forth reading some of the creepiest tales ever to make it to the front page of the internet.

Light up some organs and pop a corset, because this week we're talking VAMPIRES! Vampires: why the heck not? Somehow both of the gals managed to find some nice home grown American vampires, all with suspiciously similar stories in the northeasterly states. Turns out people have NEVER listened to doctors. Luckily there are a fair number of ghost stories that have popped up around these tales, and we even get lucky with an impromptu Up Ghost and Personal from Amie!

Dust off your red flag collection and don your finest dumbass hat, because this week we're talking HAUNTED IOWA!

Discard your bras and reuse your dirty glasses, because this week we are talking HAUNTED WINERIES!!! It's a topic that pair well with cheese, shellfish, and horror, and we've got the tanins and terror to prove it! Amie takes us to Bartholomew Park Winery, where it was literally at one point every kind of establishment that is ever haunted, and has the bodies in the walls to prove it! And Tami listens to Tim Allen and decides to VisitMichigan.com to check out a winery that's so bad at checking IDs that there's a little ghost kid running around! All that and plus: tell us if you'd like to do a scary movie watch-along! We're taking suggestions and input to figure out a way to hang with our best pals: y'all!

And Amie tells the tale of the world's worst dad while talking about the many haunted locations in Plantation Village! Plus, enjoy bonus superstitions and another take down of Tami's least favorite musical (hint: it's the only time neither of us are excited when someone says "Rum"). Aloha! .

Not to brag, but we're "central air on 76 degrees" rich, y'all! It's time to strap on your carabiners and take a Xanax for that claustrophobia of yours, because this week we're talking HAUNTED CAVES!!! Yes, Tami's meditation space has been forever ruined by this research, but that's ok because she got to drink! Amie talks not one but TWO haunted caves; one in jolly old cursed AF England, and one in the "definitely discovered by white dudes" Grand Canyon. Tami puts in 0.5% effort by reading directly from a link shared by a listener (thanks, Carter!), and both of them put their emotional intellegence to the test by starting us off with a 3 minute therapy session. That is... if Amie decided to record this time BOOM, SHOTS FIRED *air horn noise*!!! . We're Social!: www.bansheesandbooze.com www.instagram.com/bansheesandbooze www.twitter.com/bansheesnbooze .

This week on.... BUNS AND BOOZE! No, wait, this is actually some 1830s standup sets. For real though, this week we are taking a spooktacular trip to haunted DELAWARE! Pick your lice and leave off your bra, because Tami's got a mansion that's named after a beer (Amstel) in a town that's named after a beer (New Castle), so guess what she's drinking! And Amie went for the low-hanging fruit, so to speak, and grabbed onto Crabby Dick's: the most well-reviewed lewd chain restaurant in Delaware. If you can't remember the name of something, just invent it and blame it on the 90s! . We're Social!: www.bansheesandbooze.com www.instagram.com/bansheesandbooze www.twitter.com/bansheesnbooze .

Where do you go when you meditate? Well, make sure not to invite Amie, especially if you're visiting one of our topics this week: HAUNTED BARNS AND FARMS! Amie finds the most haunted farm in the UK, with the sexiest cat enthusiast ghost hunters (after ourselves, natch), and Tami fights the urge to compare Hollywood and history with the Old Arnold Estate, aka the farm that inspired The Conjuring! Be patient when communicating with your ghost via Zoom, and always remember: sometimes you get the bear, and sometimes the bear meditates with you. .

Is it Tr*mpy, or are we triggered? This week our 50 States of Ghosts takes us to the Mountain State (???) of WEST VIRGINA! Tami takes on a whole haunted town called Harper's Ferry, where the candy is as historical as the crazy-looking revolutionaries. And Amie tells the tale of The Mothman, while trying to explain necking to Tami who just wants to lust after animated mice. We hope you're having a Self-Care Summer, and remember: cat hair is fine to drink if the ABV is right! .

Oh boy, we're dusting off an oldie but a goodie and revisiting one of Amie's favorite episodes: URBAN EXPLORING WITH DAVE SNOOK! Don't worry, Tami pops in to ramble on in a fresh intro, but we hope you'll give this one a listen if you haven't been here since the beginning; it might explain why we're always insisting that when you come across a Ouiji Board that you "fuckin' burn it!" .

The world is reopening, and the Banshees are determined to ruin every part of travel for you! On this installment of our Fifty States of Ghosts series, we're taking on haunted GEORGIA! Amie takes on the Marietta Museum of History where the elevator rides are scarier than the janitorial processes, and Tami tells you a hundred ways to die by fire in the haunted Ellis Hotel. Maybe we should all just stay home in our Dilliard's pajamas with our spiked Sonic drinks. .

Tami gives Amie so many chills that they come back to her by telling the tale of the ghosts of Flight 401. And Amie goes straight to the source with some terrifying tales of first-person ghost encounters on planes. Fresh-baked socks, anyone? .

No one needs to tell us why women are attracted to withholding men: we've had cats. Join our live studio audience in visiting a thousand lands of a thousand lakes: MINNESOTA! Amie takes us to the Prince-frequented First Avenue nightclub, where legs are optional and balloons are creepy! And Tami does some Zillow-adjacent research on the rental rates at the artist loft formerly known as the Schmidt Brewery.

Where did you win the genetic lottery, and where did your DAD RUIN EVERYTHING??? Check your promotional emails because any day could be an international wine day OR a day to celebrate WWII GHOSTS! Tami cannot be more single as she sweats over some painters on the haunted af USS Hornet (you see what we did there?), while Amie is just trying to watch her Japanese soaps in peace without a damn Samurai ghost galloping through the base housing in Okinawa.

Beep beep ba beep, this just in over the wire, reports confirm that YOU da ho! Haha, classic burn... This episode in the Fifty States of Ghosts series covers the moderately haunted potato fields of IDAHO! Amie learns what it takes to make a state with the haunted Idaho State Penitentiary, and Tami struggles with pronouncing her place... before it was just Pete's Tavern, she swears. Say, does it count as a speakeasy if you can find it on Yelp? . We're Social!: www.bansheesandbooze.com www.instagram.com/bansheesandbooze www.twitter.com/bansheesnbooze .

Is this a mommy recipe blog, or an entry on WebMD? It's neither, because this week we're celebrating international TWILIGHT ZONE DAY! Yes, folks, we didn't make it up, because the internet got there before us. Tami watches the classic episode "The Hitch-Hiker" and marvels over the cost of tires in 1960, while Amie questions the pitiful entertainment schedule in heaven that would lead a grandma to try and kill her own grandson. Plus hear real-life stories inspired by both of these episodes, and learn why Amie's got an expiration date on her nanny job (hint: kids can't be trusted). .

Is that smoker's voice, or is it Banshees After Dark...? You bet your winky this weeky is another entry into the 50 States of Ghosts series with: OHIO! Amie talks literal BONES in WALLS at Franklin Castle in Cleveland, and Tami breaks ground with the podcast's first ever haunted gazebo (now we've haunted it all!). Pour yourself a tall one and remember: always teach children anatomical names for their junk, or risk being raked in 30 years on their podcast. .

Whoop Dee Doo, it's nearly Mother's Day! Time to get nostalgic about the best kid's channel of all time, Nickelodeon, and see if Amie's mom listens (hiiii!). Amie and Tami are talking Founding Mothers, and finding that most of them were too tired from being the strong woman behind the man, that they didn't stick around to do much haunting. But! There are some great paranormal stories about feminist-in-training Abigail Adams, and Martha Washington (.... the Inn). Plus we've got a bonus mother (pew pew!) and a heavy dose of bitches, stiches, and even witches. .

If a ghost haunts in an underpopulated state and there's no one there to scream, does it still make a boo? These are the deep questions we're tackling this week with haunted MONTANA! Watch out for Whisky Ditch, boys, because Tami's got the history covered with the Billings, Montana mansion of the Moss family. And Amie's serving Gold Rush realness with a ghost town that is also a "full of ghosts" town! And, please take a moment of silence for Tami's liver, which will surely fail ever since the creepy encounter in her very own apartment! RIP, sleep! .

Pass the Meowie Wowie, man! This week Amie and Tami talk about everything they can think of that isn't ghosts for the longest time... and THEN ghosts. In honor of the upcoming Oscars (like, whenever that is...) once again we scour the pee and poo-soaked streets to bring you tales of haunted HOLLYWOOD! Amie shares some selected stories of your favorite A-listers who have had been haunted by more than just their past Red Carpet faux pas, and Tami is just using Google Maps at this point to find every damn haunted address on Hollywood Blvd. Why is there so much pee anxiety in this one??? .

How old were you when your parents were your current age? THAT'S TOO WEIRD!!!! This week's Fifty States of Ghosts is taking us to CONNECTICUT! Tami drops a big-time name in her research of the Union Cemetery in Easton, and Amie fills us in on the spookiest Ernie in existence at the New London Ledge Lighthouse. Savage those decks, and ponder this: how many times can Tami quote Craig T. Nelson? The limit does not exist... .

Where are you going for your first Hug Vacation? In honor of National Beer Day on April 7th, this week we're talking HAUNTED BREWERIES!!! Or Booooo-eries; lololol forever. Amie goes northwest to talk about Portland's Old Town Pizza and Brewing, where the former hotel used to be frequented by seedy-types and missionaries alike. And don't even get Tami started on elevator types! Next up is Moon River Brewing Company in Savannah, Georgia, where the most boring and confusing duel may have led to the creepy goings ons in this old AF building. We hope you're one step closer to vaccination stations, and don't forget: sad-buying pants at Target is valid! .

Californiaaaaaaa knows how to partay! And we know how to drink... This installment in our 50 States of Ghosts series has researching stretching from the San Fransisco Bay all the way to Beverly Hills, skipping all that flyover part in between. Tami takes advice from some TripAdvisor reviews and sips sherry and nibbles cookies while discussing a ghost that was embroiled in what passed for a sex scandal in the 1880s. And Amie gets Old Hollywood glam researching the famous Pickfair estate, it's ghostly history, and untimely demise. This episode may pass for estimable!

Why does Tami owe Amie $1.99? Because she temporarily took leave of her senses and suggested watching episodes of GHOST ADVENTURES! No, really! Both gals need their beers more than ever, as Amie watches a special quarantine version of the show filmed in the haunted museum bro bubble. What do Jack Kevorkian and Natalie Wood have in common? This episode! And Tami tries for 0.3 seconds to open her heart to the show, but this episode investigating Goatman's Bridge rated too high on the Zak-o-meter for there to have been a chance of reconciliation. Just SAY you want to have a tea party and choke each other out: no kink shaming here! . We're Social!: www.bansheesandbooze.com www.instagram.com/bansheesandbooze www.twitter.com/bansheesnbooze .

Is it just Tami, or is it drunk in here? In this installment of 50 States of Ghosts, the gals investigate the haunted as hell state of VIRGINIA! And what would an episode of Virginia be without a little vagina talk at the top? Not our show, that's for sure! Amie talks about the Virginia Beach hotel, The Cavalier, that has everything from a beer mogul connection to a ghost cat (!!!), but not one damn helpful Trip Advisor review. And Tami punishes us all with a bonus drink during her research into the Randolph House in Colonial Williamsburg, and makes more Hamilton references than is typical for her. And the Banshees share their opinions on the recent Netflix Cecil Hotel docuseries. I'm sorry, they put WHAT in pickle barrel? .

Happy International Women's Day! Check your internet connections, and curse your Zoom account, because Amie and Tami are raising their glasses this week to FEMALE GHOST HUNTERS! Tami finds the actual personification of her soul in the burlesque dancing, ghost-hunting Dallasites, The Ghost Babes, and Amie passes over some questionable cocktail names at the Gettysburg b&b that serves as the home base for the female paranormal investigators of the Gettysburg Ghost Gals. Make sure your cat chakra isn't blocked, and never trust butter that you need to shake! . We're Social!: www.bansheesandbooze.com www.instagram.com/bansheesandbooze www.twitter.com/bansheesnbooze .

In Illinois, is there life outside of Chicago? Why, yes! There's life.... and DEATH! Fasten your seatbelts, especially if you're traveling eastbound, apparently, because the next installment in our Fifty States of Ghosts series is: ILLINOIS! (I know, I already said it, but I like seeing it in ALL CAPS!) Amie spooks us out with tales from the magestically haunted Joliet Prison, and Tami recycles research from last week for a haunted intersection with some serious goodboi vibes. We obliterated this one... like a pirate. . We're Social!: www.bansheesandbooze.com www.instagram.com/bansheesandbooze www.twitter.com/bansheesnbooze .

Coming in with the BIG beanie energy! This week the Banshees are taking a bit of the hair of the dog and tackling GHOST ANIMALS! Warm up with a spiked cider, or cool off with a tropical Lint Roller (kitty litter?), and make up your own Reddit user names as Amie and Tami explore the varied and spooky world of animal spirits. And a bonus: a spooky animal story from Amie that Tami had never heard! Whose a good kitty, Wiggy? .

Is it over yet? Amie and Tami wanted to take a break from the shitshow to say a big and heartfelt THANK YOU to our amazing listeners who have stuck by us through... like, all the things people can go through? If there's one thing we can be grateful for this Year That Shall Not Be Named, it's you. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, and join us in raising a glass to toast the next year! And 2020?

When this floor's a-rhymthic thumpin'... you know that old saying! Amie and Tami have got the messy bun blues this week, but it's nothing that can't be cured by a couple of brand new spooky stories brought to you by the state of MAINE! You guys: it turns out Maine is hella haunted by sea captains, who may or may not be murdering philanderers. Amie tells the hobbling tale of the footless ghost of Benton Falls (YIKES) and Tami looks into Nelly Butler, aka America's first documented ghost! Grab your corn cobs and tell those squirrels to brush up on their Italian and French! . We're Social!: www.bansheesandbooze.com www.instagram.com/bansheesandbooze www.twitter.com/bansheesnbooze .
